    Last WC decision:

    Help please

    A- White + Sa’
    B- Tierney + Bachmann/Sanchez

    1. Fish up a tree
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A

    2. krzys
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      B with Sanchez

      1. Zogzeg
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Agree with B.
        Tierney attacking threat greater than Sa save points.

    3. Arteta
      • 8 Years

      B

  3. Sid07
    • 9 Years

    1) ings to DCL
    2) ings + bruno + ronaldo + Torres(-4)
    3) ings + bruno + ronaldo + sarr (-4)
    4) save this week, next week do ings + bruno to Tsimikas to ronaldo + jota + liveramento (-4)

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      1 or 2

      I think I'm just going to go 1.

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Seems you really want Ron, this week is a very good chance for goals

    3. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Though tempted by 4 also

  4. Ook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Start White against Norwich or Raph against Liverpool?

    1. Fish up a tree
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      White

    2. krzys
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      White

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Raph

    4. Justin Credibles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      White

    5. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I'm starting both, but if I had to drop one, it'd be White all day long

    6. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Raph against Norwich

  5. Justin Credibles
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Hi all...good luck this weekend...pretty set on my wildcard now, just a couple of position I wouldn't mind some advise on;

    Bachmann Elliot
    Christensen Walker Shaw Williams Livramento
    Salah Torres Benrahma Gray Sissoko
    Antonio Ronaldo Lukaku

    With their fixtures the only team I wouldn't mind getting some cover in for is Wolves. My options as I see it to fit around the rest of the team I am happy with is;

    Christensen - Any Wolves defender
    and/or
    Benrahma to Traore/Trincao etc.

    Any advice would be appreciated - cheers all.

    1. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I wouldn’t go with Walker on a WC. I’d switch to Rudiger and swap Christensen to a Wolves defender if you’re set on having one. Coady probably and bank the 0.5

      1. Justin Credibles
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers

    2. Fish up a tree
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Walker is a strange pick, will he nit rotate & fixtures not great.

      Semedo or Marcal for cheaper

      Trincao & Traore are a flip of a coin, both look good & I think Wolves are about to explode

  6. Ser Davos
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Decided on this midfield:

    Salah - Jota - Greenwood - Torres - Benhrama

    rolling the dice. Would rather have them and they flop than the reverse. Lots of alternatives and value in their range(s) to upgrade the defence if need be

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

      Very nice. As you say lots of options to swap these players about.

      1. Ser Davos
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Like it was me mentioned on Blackbox, midfield is where the bandwagons and the transfers to be used are going to be

        As someone that started with Mane, Barnes and Buendia (and then switched to Pogba), I know how crucial getting on the right ones are

    2. Justin Credibles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Looks good

    3. Gunneryank
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Same except for Fornals instead of Ben. Let's go 3-5-2's!

    4. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      If I was to WC right now, that'd be my MF with the exception of Benny - who I would probably drop at this stage.

      So basically, I like it a lot

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

    GTG?
    On -4 now.

    Would you (c) Salah over Bruno?

    Sanchez
    TAA/Shaw/Duffy
    Salah/Bruno(c)/Greenwood/Raph/Sarr
    DCL/Antonio

    Steele/Ayling/Tsim/Scarlet

    1. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Definitely.

      Bruno (potentially) without penalties is not a good captain option I feel

      1. drughi
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Pure nonsense

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah I’d go Mo

  8. Viprin
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Is Robertson still a good shout? How did he look vs Chelsea? Could really use the 0.5 over TAA

    1. jason_ni
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Still very good, just maybe not as explosive as taa, but still superb value at 7

      1. Viprin
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah, could be a nice little differential tho

        1. jason_ni
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          I've contemplated dbl up with taa, getting robbo in, instead of someone like jimi. Hard to know though!

    2. james 101
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Great player

      But I’d find the .5 eksewhere

    3. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Still good but if it's just 0.5 in it then stick with TAA by a country mile

  9. jason_ni
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Hate having no fpl interests in the early ko!

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Same, just hope for Palace to score to wipe Spurs cs!

      1. jason_ni
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Haha.. that is true, suppose can always an fpl interest even with no players!

      2. Gunneryank
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        You take that back!

    2. Haa-lala-land
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I'm thinking of bringing in an Everton or Burnley player just to have something to do on Monday evening

  10. Third Eye Vision
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Did any Everton fans watch Benitez’ presser yesterday and NOT think that this might just be the man for the job.

    I’m impressed.

    Who’d have thunk it?

    1. jason_ni
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Whod have thought a proven champions league winning, europa league winning, outperforming his budget year on year at Newcastle would be a good manager?!

      1. Third Eye Vision
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        We knew he was a good manager. The point I was making was about him the right man to manage Everton.

  11. krzys
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Very quick question. Looking for a short term midfield pick:

    A) Greenwood
    B) Sarr

    Thanks!

  12. Tango74
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Good morning

    1. Gunneryank
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Get Jota. Whether you have Salah or not is immaterial.

  13. ZeBestee
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Would you do;

    Kane > Ronaldo for -4?

    And captain over Bruno..

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      lol

      I’m d captain Kane

      1. La Roja

    1. krzys

    1. The Knights Template

      2 years, 6 months ago

      Pass the dutchie to the left hand side!

    2. Haa-lala-land
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      -2 for missed penalties

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

      Playing a more defensive role under Nuno

      1. Zogzeg
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago
