Scout Picks

FPL Gameweek 19 Scout Picks: City triple-up against injury-hit Leicester

We have chosen our best Fantasy Premier League (FPL) players for Gameweek 19 ahead of Sunday’s 13:30 GMT deadline.

We’re already three fixtures down for the Boxing Day matches, with the postponement of Liverpool v Leeds United depriving us of the services of Mohamed Salah (£13.1m) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (£8.3m) for the first time in a while.

We have gone for a 4-5-1 formation this week and, as ever, we are limited to an £83.0m budget for our starting XI.

Our four substitutes, meanwhile, are chosen from the budget/mid-price crop of players to give some potentially cost-effective alternatives to the big hitters who invariably make the initial cut.

GOALKEEPER

Norwich City are the division’s lowest scorers with a paltry eight goals in 17 matches and even the change in head coach hasn’t really addressed that weakness, with Dean Smith’s side finding the net on just one occasion in the last five league fixtures. A Covid outbreak isn’t likely to do the Canaries’ preparations any good, either, so Aaron Ramsdale (£5.1m) wasn’t a difficult pick this week. As well as the opposition, he is also in on his own merit: he has the highest points-per-match average (5.1) of any first-choice goalkeeper this season and has prevented more ‘expected goals’ (4.2) than any other shot-stopper bar Jose Sa.

    What to do here???

    Ramsdale
    Livramento James Cancelo Dias
    Foden
    Watkins Antonio

    (Foster) (TAA) (Salah) (Raphinha) (King) (Brownhill)

    1 ft, 0.6 itb

    1. Boberella
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Take a hit or two

      1. Boberella
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        For example:
        Salah, King, Brownhill to
        Son, Broja, Bowen

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Free Hit

    3. rozzo
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Raphina to Bowen

  2. Lanley Staurel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Sensible to avoid Man Utd players given they play on Monday which from a Covid perspective is too high risk?

    1. Forgetmeknot
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Yeh I thought of this too

    2. Tinmen
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Not really. We know for a fact they are back in training after an extensive break so I’m targeting united players

  3. CoracAld2831
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Thoughts on this potential Free Hit team for GW19?

    Sanchez-Guaita
    James-Johnson-Cancelo-Dalot-Dias
    Ramsey-Son-Mbeumo-Foden-Bowen
    Ronaldo-Kane-Broja

  4. klopptimusprime
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    DDG
    Livra | Dias | Cancelo | James
    Bernardo | Mount
    Antonio* | Watkins

    Bachmann | Dennis | Salah | TAA | Jota | Brownhill + 0.9m

    Worth a free hit? No way to get to Son/Kane/Ronaldo without taking big hits or getting rid of Salah

    Link please to see who is likely to rise/fall in price tonight ?
    And what tins usually?
    Thanks

      1. JoJoRed
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks very much both

    1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Can’t believe there’s price changes Xmas Day

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Son Martinelli Broja Laca likely to rise
      Antonio like to drop

    3. Hangman Page
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I like K cider, on the tins point.

    4. Kun Tozser
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      surely FH chips reduce that down?

    5. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      2 hours from now, 2.5 hours from the time of your post

  6. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Ronnie & Bowen/Moura

    Or

    Son & Laca/Jesus

  7. Dogs Of War
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    What are people’s opinions on gambling with transfers tonight to avoid price changes versus waiting until Sunday lunchtime?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Was last GW not enough?

    2. Hangman Page
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I’d say I’m 99% in the wait camp.

    3. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      The guy on the previous page that brought in Jota is probably regretting it.

    4. Jambot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      If you can still afford the moves after changes - 100% wait. If you can’t - I’d still probably wait.

    5. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Since I got Ronaldo early ahead of GW 17 and got Ramsey early ahead of GW 18 I’m planning on… making an early transfer.

    6. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Don't do it.

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

      Wait

    8. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Already did salah > son - I’ll still enjoy my Xmas turkey even if it backfires.

    9. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      is 0.1 really worth that much to you?

    10. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      well last week I bought in Dennis and Conor G to avoid price changes... neither played!

  8. Mufc202020
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Bring in Son & Martielli now to avoid the price increase tonight? Both players that I’m taking out do not have games anyway

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Are Son and Martinelli guaranteed games?

      1. 1justlookin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Yes

    2. Fabreghastly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      The risk is you may have to blow your FH chip if more games are postponed

    3. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      If you’re happy to use FH to correct it when more postponed games are announced, yes. Otherwise you know the risk.

    4. Mufc202020
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      No FH available for me as I took it last week. Maybe I’ll wait. Thanks all

      1. The Ejiptian King
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Definitely wait if no FH, imagine how you'll feel if Spurs vs Palace is called off just before deadline, Vieira said they had a few cases today.

    5. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Unless you can reverse it with a free hit it's daft

    6. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I’d be worried about the levels of Covid at Norwich to get any Arsenal in early. In any event. Any of the remaining games could get cancelled

  9. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Hi chaps, how would you improve this FH team? Playing a 4-4-2

    Ramsdale
    James - Dias - Cancelo - Reguillon
    Bowen - Mahrez - Son - Martinelli
    Kane - Ronaldo
    ____________________________

    Cheers.

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      So you're going to WC anyway?

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Not WC, FH yes, i have to, the team just isn't good enough, i'm surprised you said it looks decent, but unable to get to Ronaldo without a -8 or something, and not removing salah before leicester man, i can't do that to him haha.

        1. WVA
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Sorry, meant FH. Ok mate, don't think you should use it but good luck!

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Cheers Super Saints, not pushed the button yet, was about to, but people arriving with cards etc pulled me away from it haha, now i'm still undecided lmao

    2. John Nerdelbaum
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Looks good - I'd probably prefer double City mid on a FH

    3. Tinmen
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Lad that team looks brilliant in my eyes to be honest

      1. Tinmen
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Tho I don’t understand Greenwood and last sub

      2. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        cheers tinman, yeah it was jsut to cut and save money really, maybe greenwood can be broja if needed.

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Tinmen*

        2. Tinmen
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Ahh I thought it was Greenwood for Man United. I was wondering lol all good then

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

    If you knew that a FH would get you 40 extra points than your non-FH team would you do it?

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Absolutely.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      A few hits should get some of the 40

    3. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Yes. I often don’t even get 40 points in a GW full stop.

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

      Sure

    5. Jambot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Of course

    6. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Do you really need to ask ?

    7. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Yup, and am free hitting

    8. rozzo
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      No.

      A mega double gamesweek would get you more than 40 points more

    9. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Of course. How often will you get an extra 40 points in a free hit team?

    10. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Usually lots of goals at Xmas so yes and no, yes in terms of just focus on mids and attackers

      1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Misread Q, wouldn’t free hit I’d just take hits for mids/attackers.

        FH and the other chips will be a massive advantage when COVID settles and you can use them to navigate the massive DGW/TGWs later down the line. More upside to saving it imo

    11. FFSbet.com
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I would take 20 extra and run

    12. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I played my free hit last week and got 19 extra points. I could have got more with some better choices but on average they aren't quite as lucrative as you think.

    13. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I got 50 net points on mine two weeks ago. Was really happy with that outcome.

    14. 1justlookin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I got 24 points last week inwas happy with that.

  11. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Would you make any changes or play any chips here?

    Guaita
    Trent | Cancelo | Alonso | James
    Salah | Son | Jota | Saka
    Kane | Gelhardt

    Steele | Manquillo | Brownhill | Scarlett

    1FT, 0.1ITB

    Thanks

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Gelhardt makes me laugh, can't believe you got an assist out of him!
      You happy to sell Salah and take a hit?

      1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah that was some nice jam, reminds me of a couple of years ago when I randomly bought Connolly and he got me a brace vs Spurs!

        Won’t Salah play a couple of games before AFCON?

        1. WVA
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah he'll probably play away at Leicester if it's on and away at Chelsea but he hasn't been on fire for a while and I think Son Ronaldo blow him out of the water with those fixtures!

          1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Hmm, it is Salah though…

            1. WVA
              • 7 Years
              2 years, 3 months ago

              Yeah, it is Ronaldo though 😉 don't get me wrong Salah will likely score in one of both of those games but can't see him going nuts?

              1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
                • 7 Years
                2 years, 3 months ago

                After selling him for GW3 this season and not getting round to buying him back until GW7-8 I said I would never sell him again.
                It was awful let me tell you

  12. Lignja
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Last 3 spot on wc

    A. Regulion, Bowen, Lamptey/Davies
    B. Davies, Bernardo, Lamptey

    Ramsdale
    Cancelo, James, xxx,xxx
    Son, Foden, Martineli, xxx
    Ronaldo, Broja

    Sanchez, Taa, Jota, King

    1. Mufc202020
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      A

  13. Sean78
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Help please:
    Salah to Son(C) - no hit
    or
    Salah and Dennis to Ronaldo(C) and Fred for a -4 hit
    I can maybe field 11 with the first option but there's doubts over Grealish and Antonio. Already have 3 Chelsea, 3 City and 3 Arsenal so limits my options for midfield position (can't afford Bowen).

  14. AD2110
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    I’m so stuck on what to do….1.4ITB.

    5 players out this week.

    DDG, Steele
    TAA*, Cancelo, Alonso, White, Livra
    Salah*, Jota*, Raphina*, Sterling, Foden
    Antonio, King*, Davis

  15. rozzo
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    So what if you free hit and loads of games get called off anyway?

    Do you get the free hit back?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      No

    2. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      No, but everyone might get another one.

      1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Does that mean those that don’t use will then have 2?

        1. Granville
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Or even 3 if they haven't used any.
          IMO everyone should be given free hit each week until this crisis over. It's creating huge points swings just on pure luck.

          1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Yes I agree, or even just extra/unlimited transfers maybe

            1. Epic Fail
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              2 years, 3 months ago

              Or don’t give anyone anything at all in the first place.

              Basically all or nothing.

              1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
                • 7 Years
                2 years, 3 months ago

                Trouble with the nothing approach is then being in a much better/worse position again through luck not selection skill

                1. Epic Fail
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 13 Years
                  2 years, 3 months ago

                  Aye but that’s always been the case with postponements. It’s just that there are more than normal this year, but we always have them. And we all know the rules before the season starts.

                  1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
                    • 7 Years
                    2 years, 3 months ago

                    Just too many now, I was on the bad receiving end of the Spurs vs Burnley postponement due to weather and could accept that.
                    With the pandemic it’s just too impacting now to not have something put in place to help us.

                  2. Granville
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • Has Moderation Rights
                    • 14 Years
                    2 years, 3 months ago

                    They are very few postponements each season. The FPL rules were never designed to withstand this number of postponements. That's the problem.

                    1. Epic Fail
                      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                      • 13 Years
                      2 years, 3 months ago

                      No you’re right but these extra FHs are also not in the rules. If it was mentioned before the season started then yes, but we all went into this season knowing full well it is Covid times.

                      1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
                        • 7 Years
                        2 years, 3 months ago

                        Call me naive but I thought we’d seen the worst of it by far

          2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
            • 14 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            But everyone's team will end up very similar then. The equivalent of a safety car appearing during a race.

            1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
              • 7 Years
              2 years, 3 months ago

              Probably a good thing until it blows over.

                I am not sure sort of ruins the fun of it. In the past few gameweeks I have enjoyed taking calculated -8 transfers. Getting my team in order etc.

      2. rozzo
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        So focusing on the early match of the week might be a way to navigate through this period

      Yeah you can take it to a virtual appeals tribunal. You can also discuss reversals of transfer decisions you made where you were 'going to get' another player but changed your mind.

    A) Dennis to Borja or b) salah to son? Thanks

    1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE

      B more upside

      1. Stranger Mings

        Thanks yeh especially if captain son - sorry meant Broja

  17. GE

    Martinelli or Ødegaard?

      Mart

  18. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    A) Worth doing Salah/Lacazette to Son/Ronaldo for -4 this week?

    B) Or just Salah to Son this week?

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

      B

    2. Sean78
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Would keep Lacazette - not worth a hit as he's playing against Norwich.

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Might not be able to get Ronaldo for free next week as only 0.1 off A

    3. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I did Jota to Son because I had the right amount of money in the bank.
      I Could have done
      Salah OUT Son In
      Watkins OUT Ronaldo in for a -4

      Which would have been similar to your transfers. But I like Villa's long term fixtures and Watkins is likely to be in the points.

      In your case it is a worse decision because Lacazette has an immediate nice fixture Norwich - so that -4 could really backfire.

    Are there any decent mids 6m or below who have a game in gw19 that are not martinelli?

    Looking at salah and king to ronaldo and Gallagher.

    Need a fall back option if salah drops tomorrow night......thanks

    1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I have one but does not have a nice fixture gw19. Nice after that though - McGinn from Villa.

      Benrahma also has nice fixtures with West Ham.

      1. Flynny
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks! Nice options

        Benny seems to be in and out of the team. Would hate to take a hit and he doesn't start....

        Mcginn seems an option perhaps.....hope salah doesn't drop tomo night!!

          • 14 Years

          If you really wanted to be brave you could get Ramsey at 4.5m nice way to give you cash if you need it. Another poster just mentioned Odegaard I see. But the problem with him is Arsenal's fixtures are just on the cusp of turning after Norwich.

    2. Tonyawesome69

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 5 Years

          Maybe take a chance on Fred

        2. Tonyawesome69
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          He may be a decent FPL option in Rangnicks 4222 setup and has the fixtures

          1. Flynny
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Thanks. Fred and ramsey are interesting options.....thanks

      Cheeky punt on Hojlberg? Formals? I remember a time when Soucek or Dallas would’ve been hot property!

      1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 14 Years

        Fornals is a good one he seems to have real purple patches.

      2. Flynny
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Fornals seems to fall into the same category as benny....not nailed

        Hojberg and option I guess! Thanks

    4. 1justlookin

    Sà > Ramsdale

    Nope

    1. OptimusBlack

      Any help ?

    2. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Nope because of needing to go early, could you do the same after price rises with say Martinelli or Saka instead of Bowen?

      1. OptimusBlack
        • 10 Years

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years

          Brighton next GW is decent.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

      Sell if game is called off.

    3. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I will probably keep him. But I have two Chelsea defenders. Will likely sell Rudiger when the fixtures get difficult.
      In your case I think it depends when you brought James and how difficult it would be to get him back.
      I got him early so makes me less inclined to get rid.
      By the time Chelsea's fixtures get nice again - I think I will be looking at Lukaku and Mount.
      Depends on your rough future plans/ideas.

  23. It’s A Joke
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    I think I’m gonna take a punt on Ronaldo…and Fred. Can only afford a mid up to 7.3

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Got Gallagher?

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

      Why Fred? Other options up
      to that price- Arsenal mids, Bowen for example

  24. rokonto
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Have esr
    1. Switch to martinelli or
    2. odegard
    3. Keep

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      keep

      1. rokonto
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        I agree (keep for now)

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      ESR - don't buy, don't sell

      1. rokonto
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Wise

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

      Probably keep- can see him coming off bench this week and starting in Wolves game on Tuesday

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Think he'll be on the bench for both. Arteta scared to change a winning team. Will be found out when the injuries hit.

      2. rokonto
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Tru dat.
        But Wolves is tough

    4. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I am keeping him reluctantly - only because I have used one transfer already.
      It seems going by the cup game ESR will likely be benched, I don't think he will keep up this super sub trick.
      I would cash in and get Martinelli if I had no other issues and it was for free. It is a bit of a luxury transfer though.

      1. rokonto
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Yes, bit of a conundrum.
        Me thinks with all the uncertainty maybe best to wait.

  25. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    WC played. Assuming no more cancellations does this look ok or any changes you would suggest? Only .3m in bank

    Ramsdale
    James Cancelo Dalot Davies
    Son Foden Bowen Martinelli
    Ronaldo Lacazette

    Sanchez Borja Jota* TAA*

    1. John Nerdelbaum
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Any plan for Salah?

      1. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Good challenge. Son to Salah once back from AFCON- funded by Lacazette who likely to become King in couple of weeks. Will also shortly release funds from James.

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

        * And have to play WC by 28 Dec- Leicester game the worry but think spreading funds for now worth hiding behind couch for couple of hours!

  26. MountainBeach
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Lads, need some advice here.

    Sanchez
    White James Cancelo Williams
    Foden Bernardo ESR
    Antonio Watkins

    Got Salah, Trent, Jota and Dennis out...what's the move?
    Got 1ft and 0.7 in the bank

    1. School of Poch
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Salah > Son (c) would be the template move most likely if you can take hiding behind the sofa when he plays Leicester

      1. MountainBeach
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Idk man, I'd rather just keep him on the bench for a week and officially get rid once he's off to Afcon. Thinking something simple like Dennis to Broja..thoughts?

        1. School of Poch
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          This is also a good move and you could be laughing next week at the Salah sellers - I'm still on the fence but might end up being a seller by Boxing Day

    2. Skogen89
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Salah and dennis > Ronaldo and martinelli/bowen

      1. MountainBeach
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        It'll be really hard to get Salah back in for Leicester.

        1. Skogen89
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          In this case i wouldt buy Salah before he is back from international duties.
          Blank,lei,Che,blank,blank.

    3. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Obvious move seems to be
      Salah OUT Son IN

      But sneaky/risky move could be

      Salah OUT Moura IN
      Dennis OUT Ronaldo IN -4

      --
      Depends how brave you are - Moura could be West Ham mid like Bowen instead.

      1. MountainBeach
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        It'll be really hard to get Salah back in for Leicester.

        1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          That's the risk you take. A nice safe option for you would be Borja in for Dennis at least he will likely start.

          If you sell Jota you have a lot of mid price options - if you still want to keep Salah.

          1. MountainBeach
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Yeah fair point. Jota will be nailed for the weeks to come once Salah goes, so you're right...might just do Salah to Son.

  27. School of Poch
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Even though Son is looking likely to rise tonight the smart thing to do is to wait till as close to the deadline as possible before making the move right?

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Absolutely wait.

    2. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Wait 100% as long as you can.

    3. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Crystal Palace has two new Covid cases and (probably) counting. Wait.

      Norwich and Villa might request postponements out of nowhere due to their rising cases too, on 25th or 26th

      Wait.

    4. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Just remind yourself of the late postponement in the last 2GWs

    5. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Yes wait - I actually think they should freeze price changes, if they aren’t going to bring in any extra chips/transfers to help us

    6. School of Poch
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Thanks guys, I knew what the answer would be but the reassurance was nice. Merry Christmas all!

  28. 1justlookin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Repost -

    Martinelli for -4 or play Williams?

    Yay or nay?

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Reckon that one should pay you back.

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Martinelli

  29. RogDog_jimmy
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Still considering a FH but a responsible thing would be use my FT on Dennis > Broja and then hope everyone turns up.

    Ramsdale
    James, Alonso, Cancelo, Gabriel
    Gallagher, Foden, Gundogan
    Antonio, Watkins, Broja

    Foster, Salah, Jota, TAA.

    2x City and Antonio could easily miss. But if they all play it’s a strong team. Saving the FH seems a luxury.

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I'm in a similar position, gunna hold FH unless more matches are called off that affect my team. I am WC next week though so considering moving Salah on for Son but may just do King to Broja.

      1. Lord.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        I’m wildcarding now. Turns out the draft squad I was looking to move to in GW20 is also as good as a FH this week.

  30. The Frenchie

    Who is using the free hit?

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years

      Ask again in 36 hours

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      If no more games are off, I won't

      If two more games (Arsenal and Chelsea) are off, I will

      If three+ more games are off, I probably won't
