    Captain
    A) Ronaldo

    What's Salah recent record against Arsenal, again?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      In total, Salah boasts nine goal contributions from nine Premier League games against Arsenal (seven strikes, two assists), and he has come out on the winning side six times in that sequence.

      Four of Salah's goals and both of his assists have come during encounters at Anfield, where the home crowd will certainly harbour hopes of the wing king repeating his old tricks against Arsenal once more.

      1. Gabbiadini
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Yeh cheers, hard to go against for this reason.

    2. Balls of Steel
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Tends to do quite well against them.

      1. Gabbiadini
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        so salah over ronaldo as captain?

  4. Balls of Steel
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Who to start ?

    A)Toney
    or
    B)Mbeumo

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

      A

      A

    5. Gabbiadini
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      tough. penalties maybe swings it towards a but mbeumo gets in more dangerous positions as he runs in behind.
      I'd go b, midfielders more points for a goal and cs point.

  5. boroie
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Final decision…

    Bench…

    A - Mbuemo
    B - Livramento

    GTG? Bench ok?

    Steele
    TAA Rudi Cancelo Livra
    Salah Gallagher Raph
    Kane(C) Antonio Toney

    Sanchez Saka Bisso White

    Cheers!

    1. Flowsick

      g2g

  7. joinho
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    WC active got Kane in but now I'm thinking maybe Ronaldo instead, last minute change, who should I go with?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      try both?

      Kane for next 4

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

      Keep Kane

    3. Balls of Steel
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Kane

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

      Kane for now

    5. Heres hoping x 7
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Long term Kane. If u don't need a transfer next week and chasing, go for CR7

    6. smash
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Been thinking this last 2 weeks and still no closer, I want to captain someone other than Salah I think? Kane plays last so that is swaying it for me only as Ronaldo plays much earlier in the week (plus it's another FT booked in next week)

  8. Heisenberg W. W.
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Which WC Team is better:

    TEAM 1 0.6 ITB
    Guaita - Steele
    Taa-Cancelo-ReeceJames-Livra-Omobamid
    Salah-Jota-Gallagher-Bowen-Brownhill
    Pukki-Antonio-Kane

    TEAM 2 0.3ITB
    Guaita-Steele
    Taa-Cancelo-Reguillon-Livra-Omobamid

      2

    2. Flowsick

      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      2

  9. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Play Raph, James, Chilwell, Mbeumo, Raph, Toney and Vardy over Livra?

    Thoughts?

    1. Flowsick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Sure, I'd only consider Livra for Mbuemo as you have Toney, but it's close.

  10. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Play 1:
    A) Ramsdale
    B) Steele

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Odds say Steele

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

      Rams

  11. SKENG
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Thoughts on potentially doing Foden to Jota next week? No other way to get Jota and I think he should outscore Foden mid-long term since we think they will play similar minutes.

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I'm in that boat and wouldn't sacrifice Foden myself. I'm looking to lose Sarr and downgrade Raphinha.

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

      Dump Foden only if absolutely no other way to do it.

  12. JoeSoap
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Bench 1

    A. Jimmy (W HAM-will he start)
    B. Livra (norwich)
    C. Ralphina (spurs)

    1. XX SMICER XX
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      A with the doubts around him

    2. Firmino
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I'm on the same problem

    3. Flowsick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      A

    4. JoeSoap
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Thanks all. Yeah came on last time for 1 pointer.

  13. andre_c
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Start 1 from:

    1. Livra
    2. Armstrong
    3. Raph

    Thanks

    1. Peteski29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Raph

    2. Flowsick

      3

  14. Ibra
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Do you think Mahrez is nailed for this gw?

    1. XX SMICER XX
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      They have a fair few injuries. I think he does

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

      No

    3. KrisMCFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Nope

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

      No

  15. XX SMICER XX
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Bench 1:
    A. Aubameyang
    B. Vardy
    C. Raphinha

    1. Sun God Nika
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Tricky, I'd say Auba, could see vardy doing more regardless of chel defence

      1. XX SMICER XX
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks

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

      Tough but Auba

    3. JoeSoap
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      That is a tough one. Probably A though B playing against best defence.

  16. Sun God Nika
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Start Benny or toney, I already have Antonio playing?

    1. Flowsick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Toney

  17. Strchld
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    I'm doing Saka and Vardy to Son and 6.5 forward.

    Who's best max 6.5 forward?

    1. Sun God Nika
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Hwang? Good fixtures including Norwich soon

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

      Hwang yes or maybe one of hampton guys

  18. Jdpz
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Havertz and Toney to Gundogan and Wilson?? Good move? Help, please. Maybe Dias and Havertz to TAA and Cornet??

    Guaita
    Chilwell James Cancelo Dias
    Salah Mbeumo Havertz
    Kane Antonio Toney

    Foster Toney Livra Brownhill
    2ft and 0 in the bank

  19. GoonerSteve
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Bench Raphina or Livramento?
    Captain Salah or Ronaldo?

    1. Peteski29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Livra
      Salah

    2. Balls of Steel
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      R, S

  20. FantasyClub
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Armband on Ronaldo instead of Salah…I’m going to regret this aren’t I !!!

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Weird that it would be a 'differential' move.

    2. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I hope not as I’m doing the same

      1. FantasyClub
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Okay as long as I’m not the only one on this ship

    3. HonestBlatter
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      No great differential to catch the lead

    4. Heres hoping x 7
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I hope so!

      1. FantasyClub
        • 3 Years

        Hahah

    5. Flowsick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Roll

    3. Sun God Nika
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I'd say roll 100 percent, you could do 3 transfer next week for only minus 4...
      Which is my plan if the spurs boys do well today

  22. Piggs Boson
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    It would be nice if there was a 'Rumours' tab here to keep track of all the last minute chaos.

    It could have a warning at the top:
    '99% of this is most likely bullcrap. Use it at your own risk'

    1. Heres hoping x 7
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Haha I think that would make this game more stressful! We don't need it
