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

          As much as I would love that as a non owner he still has it

  2. Ninja Škrtel
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Who to bring in?
    a, Jota
    b. Mount
    c. Bilva

    1. waltzingmatildas
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      A or C, I think A

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      All 3

      But Jota if you had to choose one

      1. Ninja Škrtel
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        wish i could afford it

    3. Amartey Partey
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I’ve got all 3

    4. Arn De Gothia
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      All 3, Mount first

  3. waltzingmatildas
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Kane has really put me off the premium striker slot.
    Best replacement :
    A) ronaldo
    B) antonio (plus bowen and upgrade elsewhere)

    1. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      One of your options is a premium striker

      1. waltzingmatildas
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Yes. I'm not sure if he is still the best option?

        1. Ninja Škrtel
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          with their upcoming set of fixtures he's a must have.

    45 points all out...

    1. waltzingmatildas
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      44. 4th red arrow in a row. Blame it on harry

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Woah, you've got a 4 at the beginning...

      1. wulfrunian
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        You have a 3?

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          It's a high 3 though

  5. Christina.
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Since doubling up on 2 x Chelsea and 2 x City def's...

    GW 13: 6 pts between the 4 of them
    GW 14: 13
    GW 15: 5

    Brutal.

    1. CBonci
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Yep, it’s been rough. No confidence in Alonso right now either.

    2. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      My 5 defenders & keeper scored, 9,0,2,1,2,3

      Lost Wolves & Sou cleanie in 95th min.

  6. Atimis
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Are you getting any United asset for their run?

    Though to decide what to do about that, CR7 costs plenty and Rashford/Sancho are expensive too.

    1. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Im getting Ronaldo on WC

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Best to avoid just like Kane until there is actual evidence they are worth it

    3. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Fred. He is so hot right now.

      1. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Might punt on Dalot too (half serious)

    4. TopBinFc
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Defo not, give it a while

      • IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Ronaldo or none for me.

    5. Offside Trapattoni
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Reguillon 21 minutes, what happened?

      1. Berge20
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        He felt something in warm ups but gave it a go anyway and clearly didn't last long. Unclear on severity (assuming relatively minor)

        1. Offside Trapattoni
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          OK, grazie

    6. More Cowbell
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      As someone who has no players in this AVL LEI game, what outcome am I rooting for to have minimal rank damage?

      1. TheSteel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        1-1

      2. I am 42
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        always 1-1

      3. Pep's Money Laundry
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        1-1, goals from players no one owns with no assists. Well that's what I'm hoping for anyway

        1. I am 42
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          2 own goal from highly owned players

          1. More Cowbell
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            Lol, fingers crossed

        2. Gandalf
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          This, 3-3 with goals from non owned players preferable and no saves but that would be greedy!

      4. JONALDINHO
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Doesn’t really matter. None of the players are that highly owned

      5. Il Capitano
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        1-1 rando scorers

    7. Buck The Trent
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Toney won’t make the next GW, right ?

      1. More Cowbell
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Depends on when his 10 day isolation started I guess. No way of knowing until the pressers

        1. Buck The Trent
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Thanks

        2. Pep's Money Laundry
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          He played on Thursday night, so even if isolation started on Friday he will miss next game which is on this Friday night

      2. Hart-ake
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Apparently out for 2 more GWs with self-isolation rules.

        1. TopBinFc
            2 years, 11 months ago

            2 more, surely just next GE?

        2. Rainer
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Played Thursday so even if he was only positive that night it's less than 10 day to Friday.

          1. More Cowbell
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            Yep, fair call.

      3. davies
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        A) Bilva Dennis (own King)

        B) Foden Broja

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          A

        2. Hart-ake
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          I like B. Foden better overall option going forward. Although depends if you need to play Broja every week?

      4. Jet5605
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        2 FT and 1.9 ITB. Was out last night and see that Bilva and Dennis have both risen by 0.1 each which means I can't afford King now

        A - Raph & Perica > Bilva & Dennis
        B - Raph > Bilva and roll 1 FT
        C - Other suggestion?

        Sanchez
        TAA - James - Cancelo - Livra
        Salah (c) - Son - Jota - Raph
        Antonio - Wilson

        Foster - Gilmour - Duffy - Perica

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 7 Years

      5. Ci Siamo
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        So what now with Kane?

        a) To Lukaku

        b) To Ronaldo

        c) Hold (one last week)

        1. TheSteel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

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

          I couldn't hold even if they were playing the worst team in Britain.

        3. Make United Great Again
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          B

        4. El Presidente

      6. tom2224
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        What to do with this lot? 2FT and 0.3 itb.

        Ramsdale
        TAA Rüdiger Cancelo Livramento
        Smith Rowe Salah Gallagher Bernardo
        Vardy Ronaldo

        Steele Sissoko Marçal Scarlett

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Vardy time up?

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

        How did Ronnie play today?

        1. Rainer
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Posted good stats, lots of supply.

        2. Amartey Partey
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          He looked very tired in the second half

      8. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        GOAT

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Answer to Minion and Kaka

      9. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Captained Kane the last 2GW’s, genuinely thought he couldn’t continue being so dreadful, but I was wrong …

      10. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Frustrating as Raph has been at times he’s one of the only forward players who when starting has consistently returned some actual points for my team

        1. Rainer
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Yeah served his purpose, ticked along very nicely for his price, shame Bamford is only back now with the tough run.

        2. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Was considering selling looking at next couple, but can't really can we?

          1. Steve The Spud
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 4 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            I’ve sold him for Bowen already lol those fixtures are awful

          2. TopBinFc
              2 years, 11 months ago

              I'm the same, was selling today but not sure now

        3. Qaiss
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Are the current Kane owners going to get him back when Spurs’ double gameweek comes around, or never again?

          1. I am 42
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            getting rid

            will get son for dwg

          2. Pep's Money Laundry
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            Never again, I'll get Son & Davies

          3. Zimo
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            When is Double gameweek likely?

            1. Qaiss
              • 8 Years
              2 years, 11 months ago

              January or February you’d have thought

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

                Hopefully during the time Salah is gone. Easy to get him and remove then

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

          Any update on ESR's fitness today?

          1. Qaiss
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            Smith Rowe? He’s fine isn’t he?

              1. Qaiss
                • 8 Years
                2 years, 11 months ago

                Jeez how did I miss that, I feel sick... Cornet, Alonso, Toney, maybe ESR now as well... atrocious luck

          2. TopBinFc
              2 years, 11 months ago

              I'd imagine he may get a rest

          3. mcflyjohn
            • 3 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            What does everyone think of Utd defenders for the next run of fixtures?

            Currently running a set up of

            Sanchez

            Dias - Rudi - Cancelo - TAA

            Jota - B Silva - Salah

            Dennis - Antonio - Vardy

            Bench - ESR - Williams - Bissouma

            Had a wild idea of doubling up on City defenders, but not sure about their clean sheet capability atm. Would ditching Rudi and Dias to free up some funds be a good shout?

            Madly thinking Shaw or Maguire? Someone talk me out of it

            1. Fulchester's New Centr…
              • 7 Years
              2 years, 11 months ago

              Dalot

          4. I am 42
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            Kane is more consistent than Salah

            1. Rainer
              • 8 Years
              2 years, 11 months ago

              As consistent as eachother really...

              Blanked in 1 game all season for Salah. Returned in 1 game all season for Kane.

            2. Pep's Money Laundry
              • 9 Years
              2 years, 11 months ago

              Yup and they started the season at the same price

          5. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            This GW could have been so much better - Southanpton conceding in the last second, Reg getting injured. But we move on.

            1. Fulchester's New Centr…
              • 7 Years
              2 years, 11 months ago

              Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place, and I don't care how tough you are... it will beat you to your knees and keep you there if you let it. You, me or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit... and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!

              1FT 0.3m ITB

              Guaita
              TAA James Cancelo White
              Salah (C) Son (VC) Jota ESR
              Vardy King

              Foster - Livra Brownhill Toney

              Well well, all the hot assets are in midfield, but I don't think I can sell any of my current crop. Toney probably misses Watford, the only replacement I'd be interested in is Dennis, but I already own King. So save I guess? Maybe Vardy to Antonio if he plays the full game midweek?
