    Any real news besides twitter noise on whether Laporte has an injury?
    Own Laporte + Dias and looking at bringing in Cancelo for the spicy triple up in defence, which is less than 1% owned as a combo

    Please rate these moves?
    White/Sterling/Cout/Cucho to Cancelo/Son/Odergaard/Nketiah on BB this week + FH37

      Have not seen news on Laporte but yes seemed to have cramp after gruelling game but played last few minutes up top as centre forward which don’t think would have been asked to do if carrying an injury but hopefully get Pep update later. Looking at these moves Allan improvement to me

        Was this a typo?

    Any of these sound good (FH37)?
    A) Havertz to Foden
    B) Elanga to Gordon (bench Robbo)
    C) JRod + Robbo to Jesus + Tsimikas (-4, bench Tsim)
    D) Havertz + JRod to Mahrez + 4.5m fodder fwd (-4)
    E) Havertz + JRod to Harrison + Richarlison (-4, bench Robbo)
    F) Anything else?

    Foster
    TAA Robbo Cancelo Laporte Alonso
    Salah Mount Havertz Saka
    Kane
    Dubravka Elanga JRod Dobbin

    1. premierleaguesgreatestevert…
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      As painful as it might be, I wouldn't bench any of that back 5

    2. Cheeto__Bandito
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      probably B

    3. Fish up a tree
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      D

      I’m going Havertz to Mahrez as I believe City will go full strength now & Mahrez is in that best 11 for me & tends to return every time he starts games

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Yeah, that's tempting, particularly if Jay is out anyway with a hamstring issue!

    4. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I did A last week. Probably that.

      Do you have Dubra > Pickford open as an option? That could be worth good points.

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Thanks, that was the original plan, even if Foden is rested for the first game, the Wolves game is nice. Wouldn't have budget for Pickford with that move unfortunately so will play useless Foster! I do like the Dubravka fixture in 38 anyway as I am FH37.

    5. ZimZalabim
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      D

  3. Cheeto__Bandito
    • 3 Years

    Son has been very much a flat track bully under conte, apart from city who he always hauls against.

    If on free hit or chasing it is worth upgrading to kdb imo as tottenham have struggled v good opposition.

    1. Klaren
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      How many games against top teams did he play under Conte anyway, especially once you exclude Man City as well? You are talking about an extremely small sample size here.

      1. Cheeto__Bandito
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        blanked against BHAx2, MUN away, Brentford away the tough games while hauling against newcastle, villa and leicester west ham after they had europe midweek.

        1. Klaren
          • 6 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Those are considered tough games and those against Liverpool and Man City weren’t?

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Son has a decent record against bigger teams including both he plays this GW

      MCI (H) 10
      CHE (H) 2
      ARS (A) 7
      MUN (H) 2
      LIV (H) 7
      MCI (A) 10
      MUN (A) 2
      Average = 6

      1. Cheeto__Bandito
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        dont know where you got that but he has 3 goals and 0 assists in 11 prem games against liverpool.

        1. Cheeto__Bandito
          • 3 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          oh you mean this season only.

          1. Sun Jihai
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            Yeah, just looking at this season
            Realised I accidentally called Man Utd a 'big team' too - would move the average up ex them! 😉

    3. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Personally like a player in form and he clearly is

  4. camarozz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    FH activated.58pts ahead in ML he has FH also.

    Thoughts?

    Pickford

    Alonso/Cancelo/Laporte/TAA

    Salah(c)/Son/Foden/Saka/Gordon

    Richarlson

    1. premierleaguesgreatestevert…
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Any money left?

      1. camarozz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        O.8 itb.

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      A bit boring imo but solid.

      Would look to gamble on Diaz or Mahrez personally.

      1. camarozz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Boring might just win me my ML? Trying to consolidate lead. And team good for 37 with 3 x spurs and 2 x villa and plan go being Richarlson in.

    3. Third Eye Vision
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I think I’d get Jesus if I was on FH. Maybe save some money on Alonso to fund it.

  5. madmafc
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    If Robertson is rested for one of the games, will it be Tsimikas who likely starts?

    I'm considering

    Robertson and Coutinho to Tsimikas and Son for a hit (already have Kane)

    FH in 37

    1. premierleaguesgreatestevert…
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Yeah it will

    2. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      then it means you own Tsimikas in 38 instead of Robbo

      1. madmafc
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Yeah, that's a risk. Can bench Tsimikas though, and would mean I'd have Kane and Son for the final day against Norwich which is what I'd want ideally

        1. madmafc
          • 2 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Scratch that. I can do Mount and Coutinho to Son and Gordon for exact money

          I think that's better

          Mount will do well then, but he never does well when he's in my team

  6. Disco Stu
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Need one last midfielder and one last Defender
    A Foden
    B. Havertz
    C. Barnes/Maddison

    1. Dias
    2. Laporte
    3. Alonso

    I can afford any defender except TAA and VVD

    1. premierleaguesgreatestevert…
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      A 3 probably

    2. Boberella
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      A3, but a Mahrez over Foden could be more explosive

  7. Klopp's Kids
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Nice to see Saka play so well this year after the Euros. Fairplay to the young lad.

    1. Third Eye Vision
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Yeah. He’s had a cracking season.

  8. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    -12 taken for the BB. 14 doublers and Zaha and though a bench headache next week at least any rotation is covered off and its the end of any more hits, plus several 37 doublers…

    Pickford Ramsdale
    Rudi Cancelo TAA Davies Matip
    Son Saka Zaha Cout Gordon
    Kane Nketiah Rich

    1. Third Eye Vision
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I’m tinkering with something similar. Actually contemplating a -16. Think my BB should cover some/most of that and my team is massively improved for the end of the season.

      Trying to decide on Diaz, Jota or Mahrez for the last mid spot.

      1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Good options im very light in midfield but have had bad tv all season. Think Jota would be a great diff and should get a lot of PL minutes

        1. Third Eye Vision
          • 11 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Thanks. I’m leaning towards Mahrez. Although the extra 0.3 would be really handy.

  9. Boberella
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    People FHing in 37, which SGWers will you be keeping?
    Son and Salah for a start, who more?

    1. ZimZalabim
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      trent cancelo salah son

      1. Boberella
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Think I’m on that too, pretty much.
        Cancelo needs to do something though. Losing patience with the lack of attacking returns for that money.

  10. George James
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Best option

    A) Sanchez / White / Havertz

    B) Sanchez / Laporte / Gordon -8

    C) Schmichael / Tavares / Havertz -8

    D) Ederson / White / Gordon -8

    E) Schmichael / Matip / Maddison -12

    1. Dan D
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      who score more Nketiah ( LEE ( H ) Tot (A) ) or Gordon ( Lei ( A) Wat (A) )

  11. RWB_1991
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    White, Bissouma & Weghorst to Dias, Gordon & Nketiah for -8?

    1. Boberella
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      That’s probably worth it. Can’t see many points from the former

  12. ScottyMaz12
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Best option here folks for a free hit team?

    a) Schmeichel, Cancelo, Laporte
    b) Ederson, Dias, Alonso

    1. ryacoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      A

    2. Alcapaul
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      B

      1. Connor's Calling
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        A has a teeeny more upside imo

  13. liboo
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Captain

    A. Salah
    B. Kdb

    What u think guys ?

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      A

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Or also A if leading, B if chasing

    2. Avery
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      B

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Agree with Sun Jihai

    4. Boberella
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I’m not really playing catch-up, but will probably go B. Definitely has the better fixtures and city all out for title now.

  14. tc93
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    BB 36 (and FH 37). 2FT, 0.0 ITB. Quick 1, 2 or 3 lads:

    1) Greenwood + Barnes + Broja + Schar --> Nketiah + Gordon + Pukki + Holgate/Fofana (for -8)

    2) Kane + Broja + Barnes + Mount + Schar --> Richarlison + Nketiah + KDB + Gordon + Laporte (for -12)

    3) Mount + Barnes + Broja + Schar --> Foden + Gordon + Nketiah + Cash (for -8)

    Rest of team:
    Ramsdale / Foster
    TAA / Robbo / Cancelo / James / Schar
    Salah / Mount / Barnes / Kulisevski / Saka
    Kane / Greenwood / Broja

  15. tangtastic
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    For GW36, Would you rather:

    a) City Defender (Dias or Laporte, have Cancelo)
    b) Alonso vs Wolves (H)

    Alonso may only play 1 fixture during this dgw, but I've got a feeling Chelsea are going to rip Wolves. But City defence seems safer. Thoughts?

    1. Avery
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I think A

    2. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Dias

    3. Boberella
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      A safe. B higher upside

  16. Letsgo!
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Is leicester player essential this week?
    Havertz to maddison or havertz to gordon?

    1. Avery
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Personally would keep Havertz

    2. Third Eye Vision
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Do you think they might be a bit flat after losing the semi?

      Maddison did have loads of space when they played Everton recently. Could have been in the points.

      Only one I’m considering is Schmeichel.

  17. Ruinenlust
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Any news on the White man?

  18. Avery
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Hi - right bench order?

    Ramsdale
    James | Alonso | Laporte | Dias
    Salah | KDB | Maddison | Mount | Kulu
    Richarlison

    De Gea | Watkins | Fofana | Broja

    1. Dan D
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      yes

  19. FFFoxy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Is Richarlison clear from the FA?

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Thought fine and reprimand reported as punishment

    2. Third Eye Vision
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I’ve been looking out all week (as a nervy Blue). There was a tweet from Alistair Macgowan (this morning) suggesting the FA will only rule on it once the police have investigated it. So that’s not likely to be for weeks yet.

      Everton fans don’t seem to be paying much attention to it - the general consensus is he threw it into an area with no fans. I think it looked worse on tv and then it was exacerbated by rabid Daily Mail readers/kopites and everyone else who loves to hate our favourite Brasilian.

      1. Third Eye Vision
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Decent article on Richi this week on the BBC.

        https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/61245518

      2. FFFoxy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Thanks, yeah doesn’t seem to be any word directly from FA yet. Wanted to get him before price rise rules me out

  20. reverendgee
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Have Kulu
    Do I move Mount/Kane to
    A) KDB/Richarlison
    B) Son/Richarlison

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I like B

    2. Boberella
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      B for the spurs cover

  21. Catastrophe
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Nketiah on 100.9% and Schmeichel on 100.5% - what are the chances both rise tonight, given there'll have been a fair amount of FHs?

    Cheers

  22. tc93
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Best defender 5.9 or less for this gw

    1. Louis99
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Alonso

    2. Alcapaul
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Alonso or Matip probably. Could maybe punt on Zinchenko if Walker is out

    3. Dan D
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Matip

  23. Louis99
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    What do we think of this FH?

    In three ML, one of them I'm leading by 50, in the other two I'm trailing by 40.

    Mendy
    TAA - Cancelo - Laporte - Alonso
    Mane - Diaz - Mahrez - Son - Saka
    Richarlison

    Any feedback appreciated!

    1. Boberella
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Looks great! 3 punts with high upside there with Mane Diaz and Mahrez. (Mendy a good differential too)
      If Salah and KDB keep quiet, you could easy make up some good points there.

    2. Third Eye Vision
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I’d get Jota instead of Mane to fund Jesus.

      You’d need to downgrade Laporte too. Not sure how much money you’d have left, but you’d benching them anyway.

  24. Third Eye Vision
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Is anyone else just playing for fun now?

    My worst ever season (this is my 13th season playing). No chance of a decent finish and for the first time ever I’m not a contender in my mini-leagues.

    1. Boberella
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      What sort of stuff are you doing for the last few weeks out of interest, given you’re not playing for much?
      Massive hits? Big differentials?

      1. Third Eye Vision
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Yeah. Massive hit this week. Hoping BB will cover it. That’s what my tinkering has been this evening.

  25. Dan D
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    who will score more Nketiah ( LEE ( H ) Tot (A) ) or Gordon ( Lei ( A) Wat (A) )

    1. Third Eye Vision
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Nketiah has looked decent. I’d fancy a return against Leeds.

    2. Boberella
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I think Nketiah, purely based on everyone’s away form. Although who knows really. A lot to play for for both. Gordon essential for GW37 two home games though.

      1. Boberella
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        *evertons away form

  26. Vasshin
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Please help me guys.

    I am using Bb this week with 2ft and 0.5 in bank and using Free hit next week

    I am chasing one mini league by 10 points while leading another mini league by 10 points. So in both league, everyone has used bench Boost already and have one free hit left.

    Everyone in my both league have Alonso, James and Cancelo and I have Kilman white and Robbo. White and Kilman are injured who I need to replace but I don’t have enough fund to just replace them except holding/holgate/Fofana.

    If I transfer out Robbo then I can get alonso, laporte and 5.0 defender but Robbo is a differential for me but he might just play one game so does Alonso james and Laporte.

    Also I have maddison who none have but he might also play one game.

    Please help me on what to do?

    1. Third Eye Vision
      • 11 Years

      It’s slim pickings on the cheap defenders. Unsure on Fofana’s minutes. Holgate will presumably play every game unless he gets injured. Everton are a different proposition defensively with Mina in the team.

      I’d be really tempted to keep Robbo for the remaining games. Even if he gets a rest, he should still deliver good points as a differential.

      I obviously don’t know your team, but your defence sounds pretty terrible, so I’d consider downgrading a mid or fwd to fund two better defenders and take a -4.

      Consider Sessegnon? 4.3m, Reguilon likely out for rest of season, DGW this week and then BUR, NOR to finish the season

      If you’ve got BB this week and no one else has, then focus on good DGW players and not necessarily match theirs. Chelsea defs are a risk for both games for example. As is Robbo, so moving Robbo to a nailed DGW could work.
      I’d prob keep Maddy too and try for a differential like Jesus instead

      Even though only 3 weeks left, 10 points really is not much, so my advice would be to pick the players you want on merit rather than worry about your rivals. If 20 point different in the last week then yes that would be different, but not yet

    Pick Maddison over Foden now, with Leicester out of the European competition?

    Sounds like White could be back for the second ARS DWG game.
    Holding a bit less desirable.

    Pick 1 ya like more please (4.2 max)
    A - Holding
    B - Holgate
