    If you had to bring in 3rd arsenal player. Who you bring in:

    A) Lacazette
    B) Tierney
    C) Gabriel

    Already have Ramsdale and Saka

    1. Torres76
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Not falling for the Laca trap. Beware

    2. M C4
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      tierney

  2. Neo-Viper
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Edu to jimi for - 12 or play Maupay

    1. ball c
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Lacazette instead?

      1. Neo-Viper
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        already has Saka and Ram. don't want to triple up

    2. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      If its -4 for the move, then yeah

      1. Neo-Viper
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        -12

        1. The Mentaculus
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          As in, you've taken 2 hits already (in which case dont worry, do it anyway), or you need 2 other transfers to afford Jimi (too much)?

          1. Neo-Viper
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 11 months ago

            already have taken two hits. and can afford Jimi with the an additional hit

            1. The Mentaculus
              • 4 Years
              3 years, 11 months ago

              Go for it. Did the same move myself last night. On -8 for the week

  3. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Gabriel or Tierney chaps? What do you reckon?

    1. Neo-Viper
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Gab

    2. fantasist
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Tierney.. high assist and goal potential

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah... Thing is, Gab has been quite dangerous recently too

    3. Fresh_From_Desh
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Tierney

    4. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      I'd go Gabriel, Although Tierney is more exciting his injury record is poor.

      Gabriel been excellent this season

    5. Francescoli
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      I’ve gone Gabriel

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        What made you go Gab?

        1. Francescoli
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          a couple of reasons. he scores better on the FFS player comparison (i did it over 6 weeks). also, I when there are a lot of fixtures, centre backs tend to be more nailed than wing backs.

    6. fricky_
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Definitely Tierney for me

    7. Torres76
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Going Tierney. Only just

  4. Bishopool
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Can anyone explain why Kane is better option than Laca? Two easy home games vs two hard away games..

    1. M C4
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      He's not

    2. bring_on _the_fantasy
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Who said Kane was a better option?

    3. Bishopool
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Ive seen comments and analysis that Kane is slightly more prefered.

    4. jason_ni
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Depends on your team setup, kane has leeds next week, and I'm not fh-ing. Laca doesn't play.

      There's lots of reasons, and alot depend on team.

  5. Fresh_From_Desh
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    In a position where I have a choice of mahrez or King?
    Choosing King would give me a double up of Watford strikers

    1. M C4
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Mahrez

    2. Return of the FF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Mahrez all day

      1. Fresh_From_Desh
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Cheers ladd

  6. M C4
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    GTG?
    Bench Boost Active
    2 free transfers used, no hit
    Ramsdale (VC); Guaita
    Digne, Robertson, Tierney, Guehi; Cancelo
    Salah (C), Bowen, Saka, Cornet; Ramsey
    Kane, Edouard; Broja

    1. Fresh_From_Desh
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Looks good.

      Only concern is edouard. Been burnt by him being dropped before

    2. M C4
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      he's got two games tho, should play at least one

      1. Fresh_From_Desh
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        What about jimi?

        Can u stretch ur budget to accommodate him?

    3. M C4
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      maybe, but i'm not sure its worth -4, cause I want edouard going forward

  7. Return of the FF
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    I've currently got the BB selected for Sanchez, Digne, Ramsey, Broja.

    It's that or TC Salah. The BB outscores him, right!?

    No WC left either so can't set up a future BB

    1. M C4
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      BB

    2. fricky_
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      I'd TC

    3. Cojones of Destiny
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Bb

    4. Under my Cucurella
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      TC for me

    5. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      BB

    6. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      All SGW players on bench, would be better to BB that lot in 28 when most of them double. Wont be another TC as good as this

  8. Caesar Salahd
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Who to start:

    A) Cancelo
    B) Digne
    C) King
    D) Guehi

    Cheers!

    1. fricky_
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      A

    2. M C4
      • 4 Years

      Guehi

      1. Caesar Salahd
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Because of the dgw?

    3. M C4
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      or bench boost

      1. Caesar Salahd
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah was thinking about it but have Salah TC

    4. Under my Cucurella
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      A

    5. AC Yew
      • 7 Years

      A for sure

  9. ball c
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Not excited about starting King and Dennis at all. But can’t not start them due to DGW. Hopefully they can surprise me

    1. rrcmc
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      One benched and one definitely sent off in the first game lols

    2. fantasist
      • 15 Years

        • 11 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah I'm planning on FH next week. But I guess I could do that for GW28 ahead of my BB.

      4. Francescoli
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        actually I cant - too many Arsenal (have Gabriel and Laca too)

  13. Tshelby

    4. Under my Cucurella
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      What has happened to Reg is it that he might not start 2 or just because of Spurs form?

      1. Bobby_Baggio
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

    People still triple captaining salah? All the streamers changing to wc got me worried...

    1. fricky_
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Yes I am. Lovely so many are not using this chance to get a monster haul

    2. Meme2011
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      should make you do it more

    3. Max City
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      by WCing we are targeting GW 26, 28, 29, and 30 all at once

    4. jason_ni
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Why do you care what a tiny population of fpl(the streamers are doing - most of whom have dubious credentials).

      Do what you think is best!

  24. Gazwaz80
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Had triple C on Salah all week, now seriously doubting myself and considering TAA. Salah 35 points over last 10 G/Weeks, TAA 66 points albeit Salah has played 2 games less. Am I overthinking or do you think he is a valid option? Cheers…

    1. Gazwaz80
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      TAA almost guaranteed to play 180 mins also….

      1. Stamford B
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Team news doesn’t think so.

    2. fricky_
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Don't overthink it. Go Salah

    3. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Salah will be hungry for goals today.

  25. Winston.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Who to play this GW?

    A. DCL (sou)
    B. Broja (EVE)

    1. fricky_
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      B

  26. SouthCoastSaint
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Play raphina ahead of king or Dennis or Bowen?

    De gea
    Trent, VVD, White, Tierney
    Salah, Bruno, Bowen, Saka
    Dennis, king

    Raphina Antonio Dalot

    1. The hope that kills...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      I've benched King for Moura - don't ask! - so I'd go for him.

    2. ManUtdFan977
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Flip a coin between king and Dennis wouldn’t bench Bowen

  27. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Don't forget these guys with the DGW madness

    KDB - 7 goal involvements in his last 8 PL games
    Che Adams - scored in his last 2, winner against Spurs
    Richarlison - 5 goals in his last 6 matches against the Saints
    Pulisic - 5 goals in his last 5 PL games against Palace

    1. fricky_
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      yeah wouldn't sell KDB if it wasn't for Salah this gw

  28. hogree

    1. ManUtdFan977

      Cancelo

    2. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      A

    3. fricky_
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Cancelo all day

  30. House Frey Wedding Planner
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Am I correct in thinking that if I've taken a -12 and TC Salah, if Salah scores more than 12 points it would almost cover the hit taken? As opposed to using a WC to negate the hit but not being able to use the TC.

    A WC may give you the option of adding more double gameweekers, but I don't think there's much difference from having 8 double gameweekers, TC Salah and a 12 point hit.

    Thoughts?

    1. ball c
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      One Salah goal will cover your -12 plus an extra few points.
      I’m on -12 too

      1. House Frey Wedding Planner
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Cheers. That makes the big hit more justifiable
