  2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON

    Ayling or Livra is the question. All the predicted lineups have Ayling in the back three.

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I am playing both. Ayling if just one.

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Ok

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Not much in it as both are likely to concede, have fun with Livra

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Livra it is

  3. tbos83
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Would you start Amartey over either Shaw or Digne?

    1. tbos83
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Sorry, meant TAA not Shaw

      1. The FPL Units
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Digne

    2. NZREDS
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      TAA always

  4. marcus2704
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Pogba or Grealish?

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Grealish

  5. el polako
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Let's have a sweepstake, who will throw arms in the air more times against Newcastle ?
    Bruno or Ronaldo ?

    1. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Snooze

    2. TheTinman
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Probably the referee everytime they score a goal

    3. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Penaldo

  6. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Just wildcarded.

    Son or Bruno captain?

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Son

    2. Diddizz
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Sonny

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

    Formals over Benrahma silly?
    Most in league going Ben

    1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Bowen will probably hit a brace today

    2. Bubbles1985
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Silly.

      Benrahma will be WH player of the season. Been saying it all pre season

    3. dylano21
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I See soucek outscoring both

  8. fplfansss
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Which one? 1FT 0.5ITB

    A. Shaw to Reguilon
    B. Ayling to Dier
    C. Mahrez to Pogba
    D. Save FT

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

    Foster, Deeney, Brownhill, White

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      D

    2. Diddizz
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      E. Mahrez to Raphinha.

    3. Killitzer
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I’d save and keep for the IB.

  9. Killitzer
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Morning all

    Wondering if I should play Toney, Duffy or Amartey?

    Sanchez
    TTA Shaw Duffy Amartey
    Salah(vc) Bruno Greenwood Benrahma
    Ings Antonio(c)

    Foster Gilmour Toney Tsim

    Guessing Toney is better choice but he’s not exactly been great recently!

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I always play the attacker

    2. Diddizz
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I like it. But Toney should be nr 1 in the bench order.

  10. SOTHPAW
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Good to go?

    Sanchez
    TAA, Shaw, Amartey
    Salah, Bruno, Benrahma, Greenwood
    Antonio(c) Ings, Toney

    Foster, Ayling, Tsimikas, Brownhill

    1 free transfer &1.4m itb.

    Tempted to transfer Son in for Salah then wildcard in international break.

    1. Killitzer
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Almost same team as me. Hopefully not a good day for Son at WHL

    2. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Pretty much same team. And I've gone for Son with IB WC.

    3. afsr
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Am having the exact same thoughts

    4. Erez Avni
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      same team… same thought… same fear…

  11. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    I don’t think I could ever captain Antonio.

    Always worried he gets injured

    1. WHUFCSmith23
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      It seems such a screamingly obvious choice but that is exactly the thing. He can't be trusted.

    2. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Remember his hatrick??

      1. WHUFCSmith23
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        I also remember his many many 1 pointers

      2. Bubbles1985
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        4*

  12. Holmes
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Man Utd vs Newcastle clashes with Southampton vs West Ham next week, sigh!

  13. n-doggg
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    The mahrez problem.

    Take him out for a hit or hold and pray he starts. Could even captain if we get early team news?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Probably hold and hope for best

    2. StayoutheSpiceZone
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      That’s my situation too. I asked last night if anyone knows of viable leaks … fingers crossed he plays

  14. HairlessGrealish
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Mahrez to
    A) Raphinha
    B) Greenwood
    C) Jota
    D) hold

    1. n-doggg
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      A if for free

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

    Crazy thought to do Bruno+Ings to Kane and benhrama for -4.

    1. Ninjaa
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I wouldn't

    2. SHOWSTOPPERRR
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Not crazy, especially Ronaldo in the picture. But bruno would haul have a gut feeling probably am capping him.

    3. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      If you think they score higher go for it.
      I am making my own final decisions this year.

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

      Not crazy, just risky. Needs another benefit to justify i.m.o. Does it move you towards the team structure you want or give you a long term target?

  16. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Gtg & correct C?

    Sanchez
    Trent, Shaw, Dier
    Bruno, Salah, Benny, Greenwood
    Ings, Antonio C, Bamford

    Steele, Amartey, Tsimikas, Gilmour.

    1. The Senate
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Bold captain but could pay off. Bruno and Salah still more reliable options IMO

      I don’t like Dier long-term but no point getting rid this week

      1. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Ta, just needed to tap into Spurs defence

  17. CroatianHammer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    TV: 101.2
    Effective TV: 100.5 (tomorrow night).
    But .2 of this will be in Antonio, so in theory I've a WC budget of 100.3.

    Was only passing interested in Lukaku. Once it was clear that buying him would wreck my team, he was off the cards. Those who did buy him are now unable to further upgrade without epic moves.
    But Ronaldo. He's a different beast. Will see what price. 11.5 was the opinion of some creators, so maybe it's possible.

  18. Stamford B
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Has there been early team news for Liverpool so far this season?

  19. SHOWSTOPPERRR
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Captain Bruno now as the emotions would be high now and we need to bounce back from last week. Have a gut feeling of utd going big.

    1. Stamford B
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Could well happen. Never change a winning team was the mantra when I was a lad. Last week was a good example of what can happen when you do that. Modern football though isn’t it.

      1. SHOWSTOPPERRR
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah..mctominay was a forced one because of injury. Martial thing is just stupid.

    2. WHUFCSmith23
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Hard to get a read on Wolves, only conceded 2 against decent sides and one was a penalty.

      1. SHOWSTOPPERRR
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Saw some highlights of spurs wolves, actually both spurs and lei were not that creative. Also wolves left spaces while attacking so chance of counter attack is there for utd. Don't know it's just a gut feeling based on all things happened around the last 24 hours. Everything seems to be positive now. Going Bruno cap.

      2. Derbz87
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Wolves were very unlucky/wasteful in both games against Leicester and Spurs if you go off XG. I think Utd had a much easier away game last weekend personally.

  20. Ninjaa
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    What to do here lads?? 2 fts so I have to do 1 transfer so that I have 2 next week. Thoughts??

    Martinez Foster
    TAA Shaw Tsimi Ayling Coufal
    Salah Bruno Barnes Benrahma Gilmour
    Antonio Ings Toney

    1. CroatianHammer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Toney. Downgrade to whatever the cheapest option is (Obafemi?).

  21. naga 5000 agen slot nomer 1…
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    which team??

    (A)

    Raya
    Ayling Shaw Dier
    Salah Greenwood(or Pogba) Raphinha Ben
    Kane Lukaku Antonio

    (B)

    Raya
    TAA Shaw Dier Ayling
    Salah Raphinha Ben
    Kane Lukaku Antonio

    1. naga 5000 agen slot nomer 1…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Both team with (0.6 in the bank)
      just hoping that Ronaldo's price is gonna be 12.5 not 13.0 lol

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Why should the price be higher than Kane’s and Lukaku’s? Unless he’s A bad option, he’s Romsldo, but he’s 36

        1. naga 5000 agen slot nomer 1…
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          If the price is less than what I am expecting, that's good
          However I am using wildcard this week so just preparing for the worst

  22. Jones Kusi
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Best option?
    A. Bruno > Son (c)
    B. Salah > Son (c)
    C. Tsimikas > Livramento
    D. Toney, Salah > Benrahma, Kane (c)
    2 FT 1.0 ITB

    Sanchez
    Taa Shaw Ayling
    Rapinha Salah Bruno Greenwood
    Toney Antonio Ings

    Ward Tsimikas Bissouma Amartey

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      C was a move a few days ago?
      You know the risk vs reward removing Salah or Bruno.
      Amartey first on bench as probably gets clean sheet?

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

      I did D but will almost certainly WC over IB

      1. Rohirrims
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Now contemplating Kane vs Antonio captaincy

    3. OLEgend
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I was looking to do C this week,but Ronaldo arrival changed all plans,now fancying Bruno to Son(C) as I already have 3 United players and couldn't bring Ronaldo for Ings for GW4. Confused

  23. Make United Great Again
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    I can’t believe we’ve resigned Ronaldo. And yes I’ll re jigging the squad to get him in regardless of price.

    Anyone else feel the same? 😀

    1. Stamford B
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      It’s never regardless of price but you’re a Utd fan so I suppose it’s allowed.

    2. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      It's incredible isn't it. From feeling pretty distraught and almost sick at him going to City to him coming home!

      I was planning GW7 WC but instead will WC over the IB. Allows me to get Son in for Salah this week too.

    3. WHUFCSmith23
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I feel like having a Ronaldoless team will lead to an incredible amount of red arrows. Sort of forced into having him.

      1. Stamford B
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        This a thing. EO because he’s a Utd player and he’s Ronaldo will be massive and you’re hardly going to bet on him flopping so he’s pretty much essential.

    4. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Fills the CF position until Haaland! 25 prem goals for 50mil that will be paid back in shirt sales! What’s not to love!

      1. Dr Van Nostrand
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Nah Haaland is going to PSG to replace Mpabbe next summer

    5. jia you
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I'm on cloud nine since I woke up this morning and heard the confirmation...2:30pm here and still buzzing!
      Leaving 0.7itb on my WC to get him in for Kane...Home to Newcastle, what a fixture for his second debut!

      1. Walter White (WW)
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        No Bruno, Salah, Ronaldo league?

        1. jia you
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          League rules already set but yeah the teams won't be as differential from now on!

    6. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Why higher price than Kane’s and Lukaku’s? Unless he’s A bad option, he’s Ronaldo, but he’s 36

      1. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Lukaku scored 24 goals last season, Ronaldo 29!

      2. OLEgend
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Tbh Ronaldo's 36 is like others 30

    7. SHOWSTOPPERRR
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Haven't got over yet.

    8. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I think you're bonkers (in a nice way). The Premier League will put a brake on his goal scoring. I don't understand all this jizzing over him. Wait and see will be my plan.

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        I've changed my undies seven times already today!

  24. ZAWAd25
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Start Livramento or Amartey?

    1. Stamford B
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Liv

  25. The Senate
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Good to roll FT? Or do I need rid of Sarr? (He do have nice fixtures after IB) 1.0 ITB

    Sanchez/Steele
    TAA Shaw Ayling
    Salah Bruno Barnes Sarr
    Wilson Ings Antonio
    (Brownhill Tsimi Omo)

    1. Bury94
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      G2G, fingers crossed Barnes plays cos you have no bench (I'm in a similar boat)

      1. The Senate
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        True - just can’t bring myself to bin him before Norwich. Last chance for him in my squad though…

  26. Bury94
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Do you think it's worth Wildcarding over the IB do change your team around and get Ronaldo and Lukaku?

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I think I only will have one of them plus Salah.

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        This

      2. Mr. O'Connell
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Just tried one with all 3 and Trent. Rest of the team doesn't look too hot. That said I've lost a fair bit of value already.

    2. Free Hat
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      As long as my team and forwards are doing great, i dont think so personally.

    3. The Senate
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I’ll be keeping Bruno until GW8 then selling to fund big Rom.

      Not considering Ronnie yet but would have to sell Trent and/or Mo to get the budget I think

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

      No - value in waiting I'd say

  27. Philosopher's Stones
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Team set. Only issue remaining:
    Who do I captain?

    A: Antonio
    B: Son

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I'm capping Son just because I dont want to over-rely on WHM. Silly reason but it is what it is.

      1. Walter White (WW)

    A little long post. Please bear with me.

    Would you:

    A. Sell Mane for Son cap (-4) this gw and do Ings to Ronaldo directly if Ronaldo is 11.5m else Ings + Greenwood to Ronaldo + Raphinha/Traore (-4) in gw4.

    OR

    B. Hold Mane this week, cap Antonio and do Mane + Ings to Ronaldo + Raphinha/Traore (-4) in gw4. This option let's me keep Greenwood and also gives me cash to get TAA in for Tsimikas. No Son though.

    Cheers.

        Yeah really excited! Atmposhere looked great vs Leeds. Now especially with first home game with CR7.
        And if ASM can put together some magic on the pitch it will be worth the money!
