      Sorry…Bench one!

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

        C

      2. Limbo

    Just dropped Shaw and TAA -4. Time to make up some ground.

    Alonso + Rudiger + Lukaku for SOU/bre/NOR/new/BUR

    1. Limbo
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Shaw's next 5, IF he plays:

      EVE, lei, LIV, tot, MCI

      Easy decision.

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

      There were some rumours yesterday that Alonso had a minor injury hence his early withdrawal in the CL. But if he plays, then that's great outlay. GL

      1. Limbo
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I've backup in Livramento and Willams (Nor v Bur) so hope not 😐

  3. Garfield1001
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Any Shaw news?

    Thanks

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

    I just want for the deadline to pass so I can finally play my WC. Anybody else like that too?

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Same here, but just waiting for my ideal WC side to get injured as and for my current players to look good for once and make them harder to sell

  5. Thomas Magnum
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Repost from earlier today but best one week punt?
    A) Mount
    B) Zaha
    C) Raphinha/Klich (pens)

    1. Ricky - it doesn\'t ta…
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Raph for me more likely to get points for his team out of them 3 (talisman)

    2. Don Van Vliet
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A -- Mount probably hungry

    3. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I would go B

    4. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Oh no, deadlock! Thanks all so far but anyone want to break the tie?

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

    Greenwood > Raph for -4?

    1. Die Hard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      That’s a good move, but maybe not for a minus 4.

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

    Do we expect Jota to start against City? probability in %?

    1. Limbo
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Against Cancelo/Dias/Laporte/Walker I'd say they need a little more ariel threat so maybe Bobby...

      So on that logic, more than likely Jota starts.

      1. Limbo
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        *aerial

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

        Yes, there was an interesting article in the Liverpoolecho saying Firmino could be the preferred choice because of his pressing, while Klopp might play them all together with Salah and Mane for more attacking creativity as they are missing TAA. Interesting point but I also think he will likely be rested.

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

      I don't, but probably get 20 odd mins out of him

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

    Is Christensen nailed for Chelsea?

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

      No

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

        How likely is he to start?

        1. Don Van Vliet
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          50/50

        2. Ruth_NZ
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          80% or so.

      1. Fnug
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
