TEAMS TO BACK

CHELSEA

Malmo have scored none, conceded seven and looked thoroughly underwhelming throughout the first two UCL Matchdays. Whilst Thomas Tuchel will play a rotated side, he’s aware that they need three points after the loss to Juventus and we should still see some serious firepower on the pitch. This could be a great game for Kai Havertz (9.0m), Marcos Alonso (5.0m) and Ruben Loftus-Cheek (6.0m) to really prove their worth.

BAYERN MUNICH

Bayern’s first-half drubbing of Bayer Leverkusen was one of the most impressive halves of football I’ve seen. They’re averaging nearly four goals per game in the Bundesliga and have scored eight in their first two UCL games this season. Benfica are a solid side but so were Leverkusen before Bayern came to town. Julian Nagelsmann’s side is dripping with attacking quality and any of Robert Lewandowski (11.6m), Thomas Müller (9.5m), Serge Gnabry (10.0m), Leroy Sane (9.0m) and Joshua Kimmich (6.5m) could be considered essential picks in their own right.

RB SALZBURG

Salzburg have impressed in the UCL so far and Wolfsburg are now on six competitive games without a win under Mark van Bommel. Karim Adeyemi (7.1m) is clearly the star but Brendan Aaronson (5.5m), Noah Okafor (5.0m), Rasmus Kristensen (4.5m) and Maximilian Wöber (4.0m) are all also strong picks in their own right. With star striker Wout Weghorst (8.0m) ruled out, Wolfsburg will be on the back foot from the get-go.

PSG

Leipzig have crumbled at every sign of pressure or stiff competition so far this season, which bodes well for Mauricio Pochettino’s men. With Nuno Mendes (4.5m) and Achraf Hakimi (6.5m) at full-back, then Kylian Mbappe (10.5m) and Lionel Messi (11.0m) up front, PSG could rout die Roten Bullen.

BARCELONA

I didn’t think I’d include Barcelona in this list at all this season but I was impressed by their weekend win over Valencia. The return of Ansu Fati (7.5m) and emergence of Gavi (5.0m) has rejuvenated the Blaugrauna and they’ll be hoping to build on their win with the visit of a Dynamo Kyiv side which Bayern Munich put five past on MD2.

CAPTAINCY

TUESDAY 19 OCTOBER

Captain Sensible: Kylian Mbappe

PSG proved their quality against Manchester City on MD2 and now face an RB Leipzig who have seriously struggled against decent opposition so far this season. Mbappe has an assist in both UCL games this season and has five goals and four assists in the league. He’s fresh from a goal and an assist against Angers at the weekend and is in better form than Messi on the other wing.

Captain Differential (less than 10% owned): Lautaro Martinez (10m)

I’m loathe to continue underestimating Sheriff Tiraspol but something has to give at some point. Lautaro Martinez has five goals in six Serie A starts and is on penalties for an Inter Milan side who desperately need a win to kick-start their UCL campaign. With just 1% ownership and very few ‘great’ fixtures this week, he could be the perfect differential.

WEDNESDAY 20 OCTOBER

Captain Sensible: Robert Lewandowski

Lewandowski is a goalscoring machine from the most in-form side in world football. He grabbed braces on MD1 and MD2, with nine goals from eight Bundesliga games this season. Regardless of fixture, Lewandowski can score big and he could well add another brace against Benfica on Wednesday.

Captain Differential (less than 10% owned): Kai Havertz

Expect wholesale changes from Tuchel ahead of Malmo’s visit. Havertz has struggled for form and starts this season but this presents a perfect opportunity for him to both start and prove his worth to this Chelsea side.

SPOT THE DIFFERENTIAL

A selection of players who are less than 5% owned to help your team climb the ranks on MD3.

  • Arnaut Groeneveld (Villarreal – 1% – 6.0m) – Groeneveld, or Danjuma as he’s more commonly known, has a goal and an assist from his first two UCL appearances and has four goals in his last six La Liga games, including a brace against Real Betis. Facing Young Boys, the former Bournemouth man is a great differential option for your team, despite Villarreal’s poor domestic form.
  • Karim Adeyemi (RB Salzburg – 4% – 7.1m) – Adeyemi is in searing form and is reportedly in talks with both Bayern and Dortmund over a move back to the Bundesliga. He’s the third highest scoring player in UCL Fantasy so far and is against a Wolfsburg side in dreadful form. He has 8 goals and an assist from 10 Austrian Bundesliga games and is somehow still only 4% owned.
  • Ansu Fati (Barcelona – 2% – 7.5m) – Fati is a special talent and finally back to full fitness after a long lay-off. He’s got two goals in just 94 minutes of football since returning and started his first game of the season in the weekend win over Valencia. Dynamo Kyiv don’t present overly tough opposition for a Barcelona side that seem to be re-finding their feet and Fati could star.
  • Marcos Alonso (Chelsea – 5% – 5.0m) – Predicting Tuchel’s wing-back rotation is a risky game but I back Alonso to start at home to Malmo, in theoretically the easiest game of Chelsea’s group stage. Ben Chilwell (5.5m) started and starred at the weekend and will likely be saved for the league. Despite putting in some less than impressive performances of late, Alonso should get the nod and do well against the minnows of Group H.
  • Serge Gnabry (Bayern Munich – 1% – 10.0m) – As with the entire Bayern team, Gnabry’s performance levels have elevated under Julian Nagelsmann. The German winger got his second brace of the season against Leverkusen on Sunday and now has five goals in eight league games for 2021/22. Bayern are steamrolling everything in front of them (except Kevin Trapp) and, despite Benfica’s current good form, this game should be no different.

    Opinions wanted. This is how I'm setting up for GW9. Have I got my bench right?

    ...............................Sanchez
    ..................................(MCI)

    ............TAA Cancelo James Chilwell
    ..........(MUN) (bha) (NOR) (NOR)

    ....................Saka Salah Foden
    ....................(AVL) (MUN) (bha)

    .................Antonio Lukaku Jiminez
    .................(TOT) (NOR) (lee)

    Subs: Steele (MCI), Mbeumo (LEI), Livramento (BUR), Allan (WAT)

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Strange format.

      I'd put livra before mbeumo. I might be wrong

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Mbuemo should be starting

    3. gart888
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      This team is so good. Im very jealous. When did you wildcard?

  3. Amartey Partey
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Tuchel: “Lukaku is mentally tired.”

    Will be rest him against Norwich?

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Uh oh

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Malmo and Southampton

      1. Amartey Partey
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah it would make sense for him to be rested against Malmo.

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        He said...

        Tuchel on Lukaku's six game club goal drought: "In my opinion, I feel Romelu overplayed. I think he played too many competitions over the summer and now he played Nations League. He is a fantastic athlete, a competitive guy and he wants to be out there and win, digging deep"

    3. Balls of Steel
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Yikes!!

    4. CRO KLOPP
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      C'mon Tuchel,he needs Mount and James to wake him up,not 8 defenders behind him

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I think tuchel will give him mount and james, heck even ziyech too, just to prove to Conte and the rest of the world that he knows how to play to Lukaku's strengths.

    5. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Wow, this would be a new low for me, brought Lukaku in 6 Chelsea games ago and he's blanked in every game but if he gets benched v Norwich the curse is getting real

    6. SHOWSTOPPERRR
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Kaku cap at Norwich it is. Ucl bench almost confirmed.

      1. CRO KLOPP
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        He had a nice rest before Brantford also

  4. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Would you WC this

    Schmeichel Ward
    Cancelo Alonso Duffy Livra Tsimikas
    Salah KDB sarr benrahma Gray
    Ronaldo Antonio perica

    to this

    Sanchez Foster
    TAA Cancelo Dias White Livra
    Salah Son Raph Mbuemo ESR
    Lukaku Toney Hwang

    Original plan is to WC GW15 or 19

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      How many FTs and cash?

      Ronaldo to Luka and Alonso to Dias looks decent, should atleast set the team for this week.

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Just 1 FT and 0.2 itb

        Ron to Rom is the plan, but the WC team that I can get is somehow tempting

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Thats true. Remember we have one more IB coming soon followed by around 8 GWs in a span of 40 days. Delaying WC till that IB could be handy.

          New team does look good, so not much to lose.

          1. NABIL - FPL otai
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Yeah WC after ib to bring the likes of Son and Kane sounds better, plus nearer to the fixture swing for many teams in gw15.

            Not much to lose indeed but the WC itself is a big lost! 😀 I still think playing it in heavy December is a great play to jump in ranks

    2. waltzingmatildas
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Like it. Don't fancy Chelsea defence?

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah Dias can be Chilwell or Azpi.

        But I'm not sure if I should WC or not. Still think I can 'slow WC' the above team until GW13 by getting Lukaku, Raph , Mbeumo, Son and TAA using FTs

  5. Malinwa
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Hi Legends, need some advice here:

    WC gtg ?

    Sanchez
    Cancelo - Christensen - TAA
    Salah - Son - Doucoure - Raph
    Toney - Vardy - Antonio

    Steele - White - Livramento - Brownhill

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I am a legend so my advice is get rid of Doucoure. He's injured according to reports

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Douc needs to leave. I would try for Rudiger over Christensen.

      1. Malinwa
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        And replace Doucoure > Gray ?

        1. Cheeky Onion
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          I like Grey, but fear his returns will be impacted when DCL/Rich return (whenever that is)

          1. FPL Theorist
            • 4 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            As a fairly long-term Gray owner, I've been hoping they will get a proper striker back to improve his assist potential.

          2. Bojam
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            I think the opposite. Having DCL and Rich will back make Gray a more appealing option. But Doucoure injury is big blow.

        2. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Would probably look elsewhere, Everton attack not inspiring. Someone like Mbeumo or Smith Rowe will be better.

          Alternatively, you can downgrade to cheap fodder and upgrade White.

    3. Cheeky Onion
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I'd take Raya over Sanchez and find a replacement for Doucoure

    4. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Mbuemo over Toney in a 352 gives you a lot of spare cash

  6. Ronnies
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Sanchez
    TAA Rudiger Dias Livramento
    Salah Raphinha Sarr
    Lukaku Antonio Jimenez

    Steele Greenwood William's Mendy

    My FT will be Ronaldo > Lukaku.

    Would you play Sarr or Greenwood?
    I'm thinking Greenwood might be benched for Rashford, whereas Sarr should play 90.

    Cheers.

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I assume the above team is assuming transfer done

      I'd play Sarr, 90 playing like a striker last game and supposedly on PK

  7. Cheeky Onion
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    1 FT - 1.7m ITB & plan to use WC before Xmas fixtures

    Sanchez
    TAA - Rudiger - Reguilon
    Salah - Raph - Benrahma - Sarr
    Ronaldo - Antonio - Toney

    Foster - Livra - Veltman - Brownhill

    A) Ronaldo > Lukaku
    B) Reguilon > Cancelo
    C) Ronaldo + Reguilon > Lukaku + Cancelo (-4)

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      C

    2. Amartey Partey
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I’d start Livramento this GW.

      1. Cheeky Onion
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        will likely start him over Benny or Sarr

    3. Amartey Partey
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      B

  8. DavvaMC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Thoughts on Iheanacho and Antonio is now time to get rid of Antonio?

    Can't quite get to Vardy at the moment but Iheanacho stats are not bad considering only played a few games.

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I'd go for Toney for fixtures. Vardy is still the main man, unless Nacho goes berserk like last season

      1. DavvaMC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I plan to get Toney in next week, I had Iheanacho last season and he was golden!

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Stick to the plan I'd say

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Why sell Antonio? He’s on pens and has been on fire since Feb’20

      Nacho could be a great pick but I’d want to see one or two more Leicester team sheets before jumping

      As above says - Toney looks the man from now till New Year’s Day though

      1. FPL Theorist
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Correct, Antonio's xGI/90 over the last 4 is almost equal to his full-season numbers. But he just has a negative delta recently, after a positive delta to start.

        1. pingissimus
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Which figures are you looking at? I see something very different 6.4 to 2.8. Prefer big chances to XG but the story is the same

          He's still a good option of course and not a sell unless you have somewhere particular to go but both his stats and the WH attacking stats have taken a dive.

          1. FPL Theorist
            • 4 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Without pushing the boundaries too far on discussing members-only stats, check last 4 GW xGI vs All Matches -- make sure you have the per 90 filter on.

            1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
              • 14 Years
              2 years, 5 months ago

              This

              It’s amazing what 2 games without a goal will do

              No one is immune to the FFS jerky knees it seems, not even a beast like Antonio

            2. pingissimus
              • 5 Years
              2 years, 5 months ago

              The per 90 makes it look a little better on XG if not big chances agreed

              Don't rate the privacy of the members' area. All the stats are freely available elsewhere at

              https://fbref.com/en/

              Prefer their XG model in fact as it isn't the Opta one which seems to be weakest in class.

              1. pingissimus
                • 5 Years
                2 years, 5 months ago

                In fact this discussion could serve as an indictment of the XG stats in the members area being used to prove points.

                His big chances per 90 have fallen by 50% in the last 4 matches. That seems a much better analysis - unless you have a point to prove of course, I'm not sure anyone watching West Ham would argue he has been the same threat in this time.

                Not arguing he isn't a good choice simply pointing out he has regressed within this period. The fall in goal output has not come out of nowhere it has come from fewer real chances.

    3. Amartey Partey
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I would hold Antonio for this week and see how he does against Spurs.

    4. Ruth_NZ
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      It's not the time to get rid of Antonio, it's the time when you could get rid of him. Spurs should be a good fixture for him but after that there's not much to get excited about for a while. But the fact remains that he has premium-level stats since playing regularly at #9 and only costs 8m. He will probably deliver acceptable value even in a trickier run.

      All depends if you have a FT spare and someone better to replace him with really. Iheanacho is a maybe but can you see Rodgers leaving Barnes out indefinitely?

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

    Whats up with Zaha?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      illness

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Doing what he does best. Trolling owners

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

    Thoughts on these moves

    Ronaldo Antonio Zaha - Lukaku Vardy D Luiz -4

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I think it’s a move that could go either way. I wouldn’t do it personally, but I can see why you are contemplating it.

  11. No Salah
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Would you benchboost below

    McCarthy ( vs Bur )
    Livramento ( vs Bur )
    Mbeumo ( vs lei )
    Saka ( vs avl )

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Nope

    2. Amartey Partey
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Will Saka be fit?

    3. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      If Saka is fit I would consider it strongly

    4. No Salah
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Have 1FT also if I need to move saka out.

      McCarthy + Livramento can get 12 points in this fixture vs Burnley, hard to find another suitable GW as such.

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

    Sell Ings or Antonio?

    1. 2hotty
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Ings

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I

    3. Amartey Partey
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      For who? Not sure if I’d sell either this GW.

    4. n-doggg
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Ings

  13. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    That Doucouré injury is going to kill Everton

    Wouldn’t be suprised to see Sarr go loco now this weekend

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      What's loco?

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        loco = crazy

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          I see.. suddenly I'm hearing Living La Vida Loca in my head

      I was just taking the same thing. I’ve got him first on the bench and now debating sticking him in.

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        That’s a brave call

        Benching Sarr not something I’d advise - the guy is an absolute monster - really should have returned vs Liverpool too - that shot that came of the post was millimetres away

        *Pretty* sure he’s their penalty taker with Deeney gone now too - he took the last one anyways with Joao Pedro on the pitch

        1. Amartey Partey
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Yeah, he was very unlucky not to score against Liverpool.

          My only doubt about him is that his only non-blanks in the last 7 GWs were against Norwich and Newcastle.

          1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 14 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            That sample forcibly excludes Villa where he made hay too though

            He’s good enough to score against any team - doesn’t guarantee he will of course - but he’s a special talent

            1. Amartey Partey
              • 4 Years
              2 years, 5 months ago

              Agree with you. He is a fantastic player.

                I want to get Mbeuomo in and the selling options are Sarr and ESR. My intention was Sarr to bank loads of cash, but I'm minded to play him for the next couple and see how he gets on. I'll dump ESR instead.

  14. Amartey Partey

    Start Benrahma (TOT) or Sarr (eve)?

    Good afternoon!

    Sanchez
    TAA • Cancelo • Alonso
    Salah • Jota • Raphinha • Mbeumo
    Ronaldo • Antonio • Toney

    Steele • Livramento • White • Bissouma

    Eyes on UCL fixtures of course, but from following choices:

    A) Ronaldo > Lukaku (if Lukaku partly rested & Chillwell starts tomorrow)
    B) Ronaldo/Alonso > Lukaku/Chilwell (if Alonso starts tomorrow)
    C) Ronaldo/Jota > Vardy Son
    D) Other

    B & C are for a -4. Only 2nd hit this season.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      P.S. Debating starting Livramento (BUR). Tempted over Jota if Jota starts, but unsure.

      1. NABIL - FPL otai

        Yep do this

        Given your picks, and your apparent luck, this puts me off it! Thank you for answering though.

    4. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      And you'll be happy to hear that I don't own either of them where as I'm sure you're well aware what's happened to Lukaku since I got him and I anticipate he'll blank v Norwich too.

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years

        Oh there you go, you ruined it. Respond to a comment without whinging for goodness sake, everyone is sick of it. We don't take you seriously when you're like this.

        1. WVA
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          You literally just said given my picks and luck it puts you off so I reassured you by letting you know I don't have Vardy or Son nor any plans to get them.

    Any thoughts on this-
    1. Save.
    2. Alonso->Chilwell/Laporte.
    3. Ben->Mbuemo (If choosing this- who am I benching this week)?

    Sanchez.
    TAA, Rudiger, Alonso, Cancelo.
    Salah, Raphinha, Gray.
    Lukaku, Jimenez, Anthonio.
    Bachmann, Livramento, Benrahma, Bissouma.

    What are your thoughts on this wc?
    Guaita foster
    TAA cancelo Chilwell mitchell livra
    Salah gundo raphinha townsend mbuemo
    Lukaku antonio toney

    I know the double Palace defence and gundo are different. What do you reckon?

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Gundo kinda ropey so far and double CRY can't be trusted imo. Plus they're playing MCi in gw10.

      I'd downgrade gundo and get cucurella instead. Thoughts on my proposed WC team above?

    2. Bojam
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Gundo like all City midfielders is a big risk. Bernado has been playing really well so Gundo not assured starter at all.

      Mitchell an interesting shout. Palace have good fixtures coming up. But only 2 clean sheets so far this season (albeit against tough opposition). Could work. I wouldn't double up though.

  22. OLA
    • 2 Years

    UCL Fantasy

    How you think will Lukaku play against Malmo, considering Tuchel speech on press-conference?

  23. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Current WC draft:

    Raya, Sanchez
    Trent, Cancelo, Livra, Rudiger, Duffy
    Salah, Foden, Mbeumo, Raphinha, Brownhill
    Lukaku, Antonio, Toney

    Waiting to hear more about Rudiger. Might go Chillwell instead.
    Mbeumo and Toney too much?
    Bilva over Foden? Seems more nailed.

  24. Bojam
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    On WC

    Azpi or Rudiger (have Chilwell as well)?

    If Rudiger, should I use the money saved (0.3 + 0.5ITB) to go with Reguilon over Duffy?

    Thinking in prep for Spurs' fixtures turning great from GW 12 onwards? Maybe Duffy not nailed either with Webster and Lamptey returning so a defensive rejig might be on the cards for Brighton.

    Tierney is another option but not convinced by Arsenal and the fixtures aren't that great.

    Raya, Foster
    Cancelo, Chilwell, Azpi/Rudiger, Duffy/Reguilon, Livra?
    Salah, Son, Raph, Tielemans, Mbeumo
    Vardy, Edouard, Toney

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Azpi will comfortably outscore Rudiger

    2. CRO KLOPP
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Mbeumo and Edouard rotate nicely?

      1. Bojam
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        GW9 Play Edouard vs Newcastle; bench Mbeumo (or Toney) vs Leicester.

        GW10 Bench Edouard vs City. Play Mbeumo & Toney vs Burnley.

        After that, all have a pretty favourable run of games for a while. So will make selection based on form.

        Add Tielemans and even Raphina potentially to the rotation. Eg. Tielemans can be rested in GW12 vs Chelsea when Edouard and the Brentford boys have good fixtures.

        1. CRO KLOPP
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Fair,what do you think about Mendy/Pinnock instead Raya/Azpi?

          1. Bojam
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Considered it. Mendy does get the occasional benching though and will be away for a couple of weeks in Jan for the African Cup of Nations. So will need to be transferred out at some point. Raya can be a set and forget I think.

            Also like the fact that upgrading Azpi to TAA is relatively easy to do when Liverpool's fixtures ease in a few weeks.

            1. CRO KLOPP
              • 6 Years
              2 years, 5 months ago

              I ve forgot about Afcon,If it wasnt for that I would get Mendy,he is getting alot of saves,and Pinnock has a decent goal threat,more than Rudi.
              GL,nice squad

  25. n-doggg
    • 11 Years

    Anyone considering Salah mane double up?

    A. Foden and Trent
    B. Mane and Duffy

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Depends on who you play in B as Duffy should be benched.

      1. n-doggg
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Sanchez
        Cancelo, rudiger, white, livramento, Duffy
        Salah, Mane, raphinia, sarr, sissoko
        Lukaku, Antonio, Toney

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years

          Both in A should start in your team, still don't know the 2nd starter in B.

  26. drughi
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    If Alonso starts tonight it makes sense to bench him over Sarr this weekend right ?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Do you think he subs on?

      1. drughi
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        He usually doesnt sub on Alonso almost never but its always that risk

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          As long as you can handle a haul if he starts.

          1. drughi
            • 14 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            I cant haha

    2. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      You'd think Chilwell would def start against NOR

      1. drughi
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah exactly so dont wanna risk a cameo from Alonso, is a hit for Alonso>chillwell even worth it ?

  27. BrockLanders
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Nice wee rest for Lukaku tonight then. Lovely.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      The whole team is resting tonight.

        Loss by no show it is then

        1. BrockLanders

          Doh. Th'mara night

      2. CRO KLOPP

        Tuchel needs rest also

    2. WVA

  28. Ajax Hamsterdam

    Any chance a Armstrong starts by burnley ? Thanks

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Starts v Burnley

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Would probably lose if he does.

  29. waltzingmatildas
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    On a wc would you go Mané or Lukaku?

    1. Bojam
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Fixtures would point to Lukaku. But I'd be tempted to be brave and double up with Mane.

      I'm on WC this week and I'm not going with either.

      Raya, Foster
      Cancelo, Azpi, Chilwell, Duffy, Livra
      Salah, Son, Raph, Tielemans, Mbeumo
      Vardy, Edouard, Toney

      0.5ITB

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Mane is another level to Lukaku

  30. abaalan
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    2 FT , 1.1 ITB

    A) Antonio + Grealish -> Vardy + Mbeumo
    B) Antonio + Rudigier -> Toney + TAA
    C) Do something with Saka?
