    Can’t believe all of a sudden Bruno(C) is insane differential.

    He shall punish his sellers me thinks

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

      Possible

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

      I hope so

    3. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Probably

    4. iL PiStOlErO
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Would be great. Him hauling and CR blanking. Top situation.

    5. Ibralicious
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I mean… his hattrick of assists to Ronaldo today are sure to bring some value!

    6. Drexl Spivey
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Greenwood's the dark horse - someone who'll be screaming out to make an impact over the next few.

      1. jason_ni
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Greenwood is most in form utd forward. Provably least deserving of being dropped.

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

    Who to play between Amartey and Tsimi (chance of Robbo rest) if given no other option?

    Cheers and good luck everyone!

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

      Tsimi easily.

    2. SH1M1
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Tsimi, doubt Armatey even plays

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

      Thanks all! Here’s to praying for a Tsimiracle

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

      Tsimi. If he plays, he can haul. Amartey (who I think will start) is only gonna get you 2 points at best

    5. Drexl Spivey
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Limited minutes for Robbo may mean 1 point cameo for Tsimi, so I decided to sell.

  3. That Fantasy Guy
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Final thoughts appreciated 🙂

    I know squad is thin but starting 11 is nice for who I have in there
    Otherwise I need to ship Salah or do a TAA + Marcal + Traore -> Jota + Shaw + Semedo

    Sanchez
    Duffy - TAA - Marcal
    Traore - Salah - Torres - Gray
    CR7 - Lukaku - Antonio

    Steele - Sissoko - Williams - Livarmento

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

    Play:

    A) Livra
    B) Gilmour

    1. M2.0
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      b

    2. That Fantasy Guy
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      B

    3. SH1M1
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      A & pray

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

    This article loading is a nightmare

  6. M2.0
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Trying again, sorry!

    a) Sanchez + James
    b) Sa + Christensen

    1) Sarr
    2) Fornals

    (I have good bench cover James this week)

    1. Silicon Vialli
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      A1

    2. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      A1

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

    So, I think im happy with this WC, 0.4 ITB

    Bit week bench though

    Suggestions?

    Sa
    Digne, Shaw, TAA
    Salah, Jota, Greenwood, Torres, Gray
    Lukaku, Antonio

    Steer, Livaremento, Duffy, Richardson

    1. M2.0
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Any particular reason for going Richardson from Burnley as your 4.5 st?

      1. Brunsvigeren
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        No, just a bench fodder budget striker 🙂

    2. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Duffy to Ayling

    3. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      3 very risky mids with no bench

      1. Brunsvigeren
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        I can't go without Greenwood home to Newcastle, and Torres seems fire....

        They will probable be Mount and Raphina within the weeks to come?

  8. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    How's this look. Wildcard.
    Bachmann 4
    Trent Duffy Christensen Coady Williams
    Jota Salah Greenwood Sarr Bissouma
    Dcl Ronaldo Antonio

    Would like shaw but who would I downgrade.
    Or kurt leave as is?

    1. Kroos-Control
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I personally would choose Rudiger over Christensen if you can find the extra funds..Maybe Greenwood to Raphina?

  9. Kroos-Control
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Could trincōa be a rotation risk with podence potentially coming back into the team and adama is probably more nailed?

    1. ClassiX
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Yes

    2. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Yes, I’d say so

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

    2ft and 0.1itb

    Bachmann
    TAA Shaw Veltman
    Salah Bruno Son* Raphinha Benrahma
    Antonio Toney

    Foster*; Livramento, Ayling, Scarlett

    Son -> Jota and bank the other transfer? Captaining Bruno then.

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah. Good call

  11. ZAMUNDA
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Barnes and Wilson replacements? 2 FT!
    I've got Antonio, Toney, Salah, Bruno, Raph, Benrahma as well.
    Any ideas?

    1. The Tinkerman
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Maybe Gray and Bamford?

  12. Jdpz
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Captain
    a) Salah
    b) Bruno

    1. Kroos-Control
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      A

  13. Tshelby
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Ings, Toney, Son, Bruno out for DCL, Ronaldo, Benrahma and Torres (-8)?

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

      Na just do ings, bruno to ronnie jota

      1. Tshelby
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Son out for long?

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      do it, or get Jota and Raphina

  14. Swagat
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Any updates on Scout Head to head leagues?

  15. Jdpz
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    First on the bench:
    a) Ayling (LIV)
    b) Cash (che)

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

      Both likely to get 1 pointers. Maybe Ayling has a slightly higher chance of attacking returns and they play at home so I'd have him

  16. Moose™
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Sanchez Steele

    TAA Shaw Coufal Tsimi Livramento

    Salah Bruno Son Benrahma Gilmour

    Ings Antonio Scarlett

    2FT & 0.4ITB

    Ings > CR7
    Son > ?
    Scarlett > ?

    Any ideas?

    1. Kroos-Control
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Son to Raphina/Sarr/Jota if you can still get CR7

      1. Moose™
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        If get CR7, max mid is 5.9..

        Get Lukaku© instead?

        1. Kroos-Control
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Lukaku could be a shout but his fixtures after AV are quite daunting compared to CR7. If you don’t get CR7 in this week then I’d rather go for Lukaku definitely long term

          1. Moose™
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            Lukaku this week, next week CR7?

  17. jimmyharte
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Is there any players you would do a -4 to take Son out for? Considering he had Chelski and Arsenal after this gw. Bench is Gilmour & Amartey.

    1. Jacktastic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Jota or Torres

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

        Already got Jota not sure Torres will score away vs leicester

        1. Jacktastic
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          I don’t think Leicester will stop city scoring

    2. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Jota

  18. Jacktastic
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    I reckon CR7 is going to be nothing more than an average fpl asset as he’s too old for the pace of the premiership. My mini league challengers disagree.

    1. Gunneryank
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Huh? He's probably still one of the quickest players in the league right this moment.

  19. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Crazy to go without TAA on a wc?

    It enables me to get Salah, Lukaku and Ronaldo

    1. Cyril Figgis
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Too heavy on the big hitters surely. Prefer sticking with 2 and keeping TAA.

    2. Jacktastic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Leave CR7 out of your team

    3. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      TAA will probably outscore all 3 based upon points per value … just get Salah and hokey cokey the other two for fixtures & captaincy

    4. Herman Toothrot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I have all 4 and pretty happy

  20. CapK
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Traore over Raph for this GW right?

    Then 0.5ITB Traore > Raph for GW5 onwards

    1. Jacktastic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Could go either way

  21. Hazardous1983
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    On a wildcard.

    2 of traroe sarr and raphina

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Sarr and Raphinha

    2. bmmc89
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Sarr and Raphinha

    3. The Tinkerman
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Traore Raph. Better attacking sides. Sarr probably has pens though.

  22. Cyril Figgis
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    On a WC and final decisions to make!
    1) Gray or Traore
    2) Tierny or Semedo

    Appreciate any help!

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Gray and Tierny

    2. Fish up a tree

  23. SH1M1
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    B) Matip,Christensen,Traore

  24. Sam (Team Sam)
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    2 free transfers.

    My options are...

    A) Jota and Ronaldo in for Salah and Ings

    B) Jota and Ronaldo in for Bruno and Ings

    C) DCL in for Ings and roll the second transfer

    D) a short term one week punt like Aubameyang

    E) replace Buendia with a mid priced midfielder (Gray or a Leeds one) as my bench is a bit light

  25. bmmc89
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    My WC has finally narrowed to one decision;

    1) TAA and Gray
    2) Shaw (to James gw7) and Antonio

    I’m leaning towards 2. I think it outscores Trent, and the Liverpool triple up I am settled on.

    Rest of team:

    Sanchez (steer)
    Shaw Tierney Coady Williams Livra
    Salah jota Raphinha Sarr Allan
    CR7 lukaku antonio

    Thoughts?

      Stick

  27. Kroos-Control

  29. StevenW
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Please help!!!

    Captain 1:

    1) DCL
    2) Greenwood
    3) Salah
    4) Antonio
    5) Ings -> Jiminez (C) (-4)
    6) Pogba + Ings -> Traore + Ronaldo (C) (-8)

    1. Herman Toothrot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      3

  30. marcos11
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Jota and Jimenez or DCL and Raph?

    1. Kroos-Control
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Dcl and Raph for now.. jiminez is a risky move for now as there’s so many mid priced attackers.
