    One wk punt -

    Have also Tierney..

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

      Ramsdale if no better use of the FT. I'm sticking to Sanchez, used 2FTs to bring in double Chelsea defense. WC next week.

    To keep you in the loop.

    I haven't gotten team news just yet.

    I have only been told that there are rumours that Ronaldo may not play the 90 minutes. sooooooooooooo

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Lol, hardly Nostradamus 🙄

    2. The Red Devil
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      OGS gets instantly sacked if Ronaldo is benched, he doesn't come off unless United are leading

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

        And leading by a margin of more than 1, surely?

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

      Someone earlier posted this and then said he said he was just speculating

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

    Pages flying. Good luck all.

    COYBs!

  6. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Any of these worth a -4? WC next GW

    A Gilmour to Sarr (bench Dennis)
    B Dennis to Jimi
    C TAA to White
    D Gilmour to ESR (bench Dennis)
    E Tsmikas to White

    1. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Would leave it but maybe A out of those

  7. The Red Devil
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Here's a scenario for you folks
    I'm in a H2H league, I'm certain that my opponent can't get Lukaku & will captain Ronaldo, I own both Ronaldo and Lukaku, do I match the captaincy & hope my differential Lukaku gets me through or do I risk it & captain Lukaku?

  8. Bishopool
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Lukaku with -4pts

    Y or N?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      For who ?

    2. Bishopool
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Bam

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Then of course.

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

      Is that a RC and an own goal?

    4. Limbo

  9. Grounderz
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Seems Ronaldo's gametime will be managed and not getting the full 90 minutes.

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

      How reliable is this, though?
      Information seems a bit suss, not sure how detailed information like that is known.

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

        Solskjaer mentioned his gametime will be managed. As a Man Utd fan, I'm quite confident he won't get the full 90 minutes having played midweek too.

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

    What's this late news that Ronaldo will not play the full game?
    Have him captain over Lukaku, at the moment.

    1. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      36 years old

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

        Yes, but if the game is in the balance, it would be a bit idiotic to just pull him off.

      2. Stranger Mings
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Still captain for me

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

          But do you have both CR7 & Lukaku?

          1. Stranger Mings
            • 3 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Nope Antonio VC

          2. Stranger Mings
            • 3 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Oh sorry didn’t read post in full so I would captain Lukuku if had him over ronaldo

  11. eish
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Ronaldo News??

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      is there any ?

  12. Foozeball
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Greenwood or sell for Son? Worried Greenwood won't start

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

      If a FT I’d go son for differential

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

        This

  13. boroie
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    WC next week so who is a better 1 week punt?

    A - Rudiger
    B - Azpi

    1. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Azpi

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

      I got both in same situation.
      B

  14. Eric Banternaaa
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Any thoughts on my WC:

    Ramsdale Foster
    Christiansen Rudiger Cancelo Coady Duffy
    Salah Saka Sarr Benrahma Luiz
    Lukaku Antonio Vardy

    Where to spend 0.9?

    1. Giovanni Giorgio
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Benrahma + Duffy --> Grealish and Manquillo

  15. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Captain Ron or Lukakau … what’s the answer ? will either have over 100% EO?

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

      Lukaku if you have both

  16. boroie
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Who is a more assured starter today?

    A - Rudiger
    B - Azpi

    1. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Both about 98pc

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

    Days like this when I wish we could still get team news and have a mad 2 min dash to make changes…

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

      And in the process, following some fake account and being screwed over.

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

        I can neither confirm nor deny that has happened before haha

  18. Meechoo115
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Bench one of

    A. Gray
    B. White
    C. Shaw

  19. Gabistuta
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    For the next 4-5 GWs. Who would you prefer?

    Lukaku, Jimi
    CR7, Pukki +4

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

      A

  20. andre_c
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Captain Antonio or Ronaldo? leaning towards antonio

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

      Antonioo

  21. Gomolon
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Vardy a good option? 3 goals in his last 2 games!

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

      Yes good option if you can afford him

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

        C him ?

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

      Yes

    3. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      you won’t get those points now … how many goals in the next 3 games is what you want to know 😉

  22. JariL
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Sell Coufal or Shaw?

  23. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    so chilly likely to get a start?

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

      50/50

    2. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      He could, but there is nothing to suggest it's 'likely'

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

    Worth taking a punt on Chilwell or best avoid and go with Rudi/Azpi or even Cresswell

  25. Nightf0x
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Cap
    Salah raph cr7 vardy

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

      Vardy

  26. GoonerSteve
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    1. Duffy and Ramdale
    2. White and Sanchez
    3. White and Raya
    4 White and Ramsdale

    Which best combo?

    On 1 currently

  27. Junks
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Repost
    Am I crazy bringing in Alonso over rudiger?!?

    Two tough games against city and juve and everyone is saying he’s lost it

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

      Not crazy

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

      Who knows, might work

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      More upside
      Fine if you have a decent bench

  28. Bishopool
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    -4pts

    a) Bam, Shaw -> Lukaku, Livra
    b) Bam, Digne -> Lukaku, Rudiger
    c) Biss, Digne -> Raph, Rudiger

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      B for sure

    2. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      B

  29. R.C
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Hearing rumours of Ron benching

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Rooney?

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

      It's just that he's not getting 90' ?

    3. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Idiot

    4. Big Mac 24
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Would be great, but I guess it doesn’t reduce his scoring chances massively, he only needs a minute. Ideally Greenwood brace and he stays on the bench

  30. Nightf0x
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Start white or matip

    1. Stockport Hatter
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      White

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)

      White
