FPL Gameweek 36 team news, injury latest and predicted line-ups: Friday updates

We’ve got all the key team news and injury updates from all the Premier League pre-match press conferences ahead of Double Gameweek 36.

It’s a big round, containing 16 matches, 12 teams playing twice and no blanks. Five managers spoke to the media on Thursday – those of Brighton and Hove Albion, Burnley, Southampton, Tottenham Hotspur and Watford – and you can read all the headline news from those pressers via this link here.

For much more detailed information, check out our Predicted Line-ups page and Injuries and Bans feed.

GAMEWEEK 36 TEAM NEWS – FRIDAY

ARSENAL

Owners of centre-back Ben White are no closer to finding out whether he’ll participate against Leeds United, having missed last weekend’s win because of a hamstring issue. Out for the final weeks are Kieran Tierney (knee) and Thomas Partey (thigh).

“Ben White is still in contention, he needs to train tomorrow to make sure that he is available to play. For the rest, no news, everybody should be OK and ready to play.” – Mikel Arteta

MANCHESTER CITY

Pep Guardiola has confirmed that Kevin De Bruyne‘s withdrawal on Wednesday night was tactical, rather than injury-related. He’s waiting for news on Kyle Walker (ankle) and John Stones (muscle) but Aymeric Laporte (cramp) should be fine.

CHELSEA

Saturday comes too soon for N’Golo Kante (knock) and Jorginho (knock), alongside long-term absentees Callum Hudson-Odoi (achilles) and Ben Chilwell (knee). Illness ruled Andreas Christensen and Ross Barkley out of Sunday’s defeat to Everton but could make the squad this time.

“For N’Golo [Kante], it comes a little bit too early, the match. Jorgi is out as well. Callum [Hudson-Odoi] is still out, Ben Chilwell is still out. That’s pretty much it, the rest is available.” – Thomas Tuchel

MANCHESTER UNITED

Harry Maguire (knee) is set to return from a three-game absence for the Red Devils’ trip to Brighton. Meanwhile, there are doubts over Eric Bailly (back) and Aaron Wan-Bissaka (knock), whilst Marcus Rashford has been ruled out because of bronchitis.

Also missing is Jadon Sancho (tonsilitis), Luke Shaw (leg) and Paul Pogba (calf).

“Harry [Maguire] is back in training. He trained the whole week, since the [first] or the second day after the Brentford game. So, he will be available for tomorrow and be part of the group.” – Ralf Rangnick

LIVERPOOL

Jurgen Klopp has an almost fully-fit squad for Liverpool’s Double Gameweek matches against Tottenham Hotspur (H) and Aston Villa (a). It’s just Roberto Firmino (foot) causing a headache.

“He’s back in training, so now we have to make a decision about that. The foot thing didn’t let him do a lot, we had to let it settle. Now we have to make sure he has a few proper sessions. It might be possible that it makes more sense to train through the weekend, a big step closer for Tuesday, for example.”

EVERTON

Richarlison was withdrawn with cramp during the latter stages of the win over Chelsea. Additionally, Frank Lampard believes that the Brazilian forward’s recent ankle strain is still manageable. Donny van de Beek (groin), Andre Gomes (groin), Ben Godfrey (thigh), Andros Townsend (knee) and Nathan Patterson (ankle) remain injured.

“Richarlison is a bit sore from the ankle he twisted at Liverpool, that’s been around since then, but hopefully he will be fine. We’ve had a pretty good week, a bit of recovery time for the lads. A couple of little niggles but hopefully we’ll be the same as we were.”

LEICESTER CITY

Wilfred Ndidi and Ryan Bertrand both have knee injuries but Jamie Vardy played all 90 minutes of the defeat to Roma, as he regains match fitness.

ASTON VILLA

Popular cheap midfielder Jacob Ramsey is “a big doubt” for Saturday’s trip to Burnley. According to Steven Gerrard, this is one of several issues that have developed over the week. Leon Bailey was taken off early against Norwich City last week with an ankle problem, whilst Kortney Hause (abdominal) remains unavailable.

“[We’ve had] a few disappointing situations that we’re going to have to deal with in the next 24 hours. Leon Bailey won’t make the game. He left the pitch last week and unfortunately this game will come too soon. We had an issue in training with young Jacob Ramsey as well, so we’re analysing his situation and he’s a big doubt as we stand.”

However, Morgan Sanson (knock) is back in training and will return to the matchday squad.

NEWCASTLE UNITED

An unexpected boost was revealed in this week’s training pictures, showing both Callum Wilson (calf) and Kieran Tripper (foot) back with the first team. There’s even “a good chance” that Wilson makes the squad at Manchester City, with Trippier slightly further behind in his recovery.

Elsewhere, Ryan Fraser (hamstring) likely won’t be risked again this season and there’s uncertainty over Fabian Schar (foot).

“We hope he’ll be back available but he’s not trained yet. He got a knock on the top of his foot so went for a scan after the Liverpool game because it was swollen. Fortunately, there was no fracture.” – Eddie Howe on Fabian Schar

LEEDS UNITED

Jesse Marsch has given an update on the broken leg suffered by Stuart Dallas during the 4-0 defeat to Man City.

“He had a successful [but long] surgery [around] five and a half hours. The outcome was very positive and they say it will be a long, but a full recovery.”

He remains “cautiously optimistic” that Patrick Bamford will return imminently, with Tyler Roberts (hamstring), Adam Forshaw (knee) and Crysencio Summerville (ankle) “heading in the right direction”.

Liam Cooper (knee) and Diego Llorente (knock) are back in training.

WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS

Speaking on behalf of Bruno Lage was Tony Roberts, as the head coach has caught COVID. Roberts confirmed that Nelson Semedo (hamstring) and Max Kilman (knee) are out for the season. Midfielder Daniel Podence (foot) will be assessed.

WEST HAM UNITED

The Hammers have a quick turnaround from Thursday night’s defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt but David Moyes has acknowledged that his side need to win games in order to have another European adventure next season. Craig Dawson returns from suspension, with Angelo Ogbonna (knee) the only known injury.

“I think we’re okay. There are a couple of niggles, but overall everybody’s okay.”

BRENTFORD

Thomas Frank says that Ethan Pinnock (hamstring) and Sergi Canos (hamstring) aren’t quite ready to return for Brentford against Southampton tomorrow. Regarding the others, both Zanka (thigh) and Frank Onyeka (ankle) are likely done for the season, although Saman Ghoddos (ankle) could appear.

CRYSTAL PALACE

Almost nothing to worry about for Patrick Vieira, with just Nathan Ferguson (hamstring) ruled out for this weekend.

“Everybody trained this week and the only one [out] is Nathan Ferguson who is following his individual training on the field. Hopefully, he’ll train with the group before the end of the season.”

NORWICH CITY

The season is over for Josh Sargent (ankle) and Kenny McLean (foot), joining Adam Idah (knee), Ozan Kabak (hamstring) and Andrew Omobamidele (back) on the sidelines. Sargent made a brief return last week but subsequently suffered a recurrence.

Dean Smith has also ruled Christoph Zimmermann (groin) out of the Canaries’ Double Gameweek.

“Kenny [McLean] and Josh [Sargent] are out for the rest of the season. Like Andrew [Omodambiele] and Adam [Idah], they will work to get ready for pre-season. Zimmermann is still out with a groin problem.”

    Advice greatly appreciated! On BB, 1FT, 1.9 ITB.

    Schmeichel, Foster
    Cancelo, James, Robertson, Matip, White
    Salah, Son, Coutinho, Kulusevski, Saka
    Watkins, Pukki, Broja

    A - White & Broja -> Laporte/Dias & Nketiah
    B - Coutinho & Broja -> Foden & Nketiah
    C - Something Else

    Thinking A - prefer Foden to Laporte/Dias but no FH for DGW37 so probably makes sense to hold Coutinho for his DGWs?

    Cheers

    1. AC/DC AFC

      Can you just do Broja to Nketiah?

      1. Catastrophe
        • 13 Years

        Cheers. I can, but really don't want to head into the DGW with only Cancelo from City.

  2. Malinwa

    Any news yet on White? Is he fit?

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

      Arteta's presser is in ~30 minutes...

    2. Dion D's Solo Shower
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      With all the times you've asked this question here, surely you could have tried figuring it out yourself?

      Artetas presser starts soon, as has been announced earlier, so we won't know until then.

      Arsenal insider claims Ben White is a major doubt for the Leeds game.

      You have asked this numerous times - you know the answer - just wait!

    5. Wenger's Puffer Jacket
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I'm an Arsenal fan and White holder; I guarantee he won't play both games.

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

    Hows this free hit looking?

    Schmeichel
    TAA Matip Cancelo Laporte Alonso
    Salah KDB Son Saka
    Nketiah

    Ward Dennis Gordon Broja

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Nice

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

      Almost identical to mine, so excellent.
      Only difference is I'm going Kulu and Richarlison over Son and Nketia

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

      Like a template! 🙂 GTG

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

      Could get Richarlison (if you wanted) by moving Dennis & Broja to Leeds FWD fodder...?

      Or upgrade Matip - do understand why you haven't gone for Robbo though.

      You'll get at least 1 game out of the rest so no reason to have so much money on the bench.

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

    Got a free hit left, what should I do keep or do some changes to the team below?

    Schmeichel

    Robertson James TAA (vc) Matip

    Mount Kulusevski Havertz Son (c) Maddison

    Kane

    Subs: Raya White Mateta Broja

    1. Fit_to_drop
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Very decent team if you do decide to hold onto the FH. You certainly wont lose any ground, you may even gain some...

    2. Not again Shirley
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Problem is you don’t have Salah or any City coverage at all. Risky.

  5. Fit_to_drop
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Who gets more minutes of these two, and is it close?

    Alonso / Reece James

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

      If I had to guess, Alonso

    2. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Both imo

    3. Jock Grealish
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Chelsea have cup final 3 days after leeds game so doubt they''ll both play both games.

  6. JollyGoodYellows
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Schemeical Ramsdale
    TAA Cancelo Robbo Alonso Schar
    Salah Mount Saka Kulu Ramsey
    Kane Broja Cucho

    On a BB, best option here?

    A) Schar + Mount + Broja + Cucho > Laporte + Gordon + Pukki + Nketiah (-8)
    B) Schar + Ramsey + Kane + Broja + Cucho > Laporte + Gordon + Jesus + Pukki + Nketiah (-12)

    1. Jock Grealish
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Ramsey prob out so get rid

      1. JollyGoodYellows
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Is he worth the -4 to get rid though?

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

      A of those. Need either Son or Kane.

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

        Although if on BB try to work Ramsey out for Gordon

  7. nico05
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    With FH & TC both still available is it madness to TC this week instead of free hit considering I have 11 players on double's?

    1. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      If anything, its madness that you still have TC. Play it already!

    2. Fit_to_drop
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      FH I think. More chances in the 11 to get it right. Get it on the wrong captain, and the TC could be expensive in a week where lots of others will be green arrow

      1. nico05
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        That was my concern with it

    3. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Depends on the players but considering you have the usual suspects, TC this week.

      1. nico05
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Cheers for your replies guys. I think other than city cover I do

  8. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Does it look alright?

    Schmeichel
    Dias Matip Alonso
    KDB Mahrez Salah Diaz Son
    Richarlison Nketiah

    Lewis Greenwood Williams Johnson

    Thanks!

    1. rilo

    2. Catastrophe

      Very good!

    3. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      nice

    4. Not again Shirley
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      That’s a free hit if ever I saw one.

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

    Hello. advice welcome. I am on a FH 36. 30k OR and chasing.

    Schmeichel
    TAA Cancelo Alonso
    Salah KDB (c) Mount Saka
    Jesus Richarlison Nketiah

    Bench: Steele Gordon Holgate Williams

    Some thoughts:
    -KDB cap: feels like the best differential vs people who will cap Salah or wont be able to get KDB in without a FH
    -Robbo: starting to feel he could get rested
    -Mount: surely now they need to protect and play him
    -Jesus: massive rotation risk. Am I crazy?

    1. Reacher
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Good team and i agree if chasing (as you are) KDB is the g to capt option,

      Im looking at Jesus as well although tempted to play a strong back 4 instead or 3 up front

    2. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      On your points:

      - KDB is my captain, but he looked tired on Weds night.
      - I'm pretty sure Robbo will get a rest, it's not as if Tsimikas has let Liverpool down when he's played
      - You would think plays only one game before the FA Cup final. But it's not impossible (albeit unlikely) that both Arsenal and Spurs both overtake them for a CL place.
      - He is a risk, but City score so many goals it might be worth taking. Other option would be to play 3-5-2 and upgrade a midfielder?

    3. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Wouldn’t go with Mount though, would rather have Maddison

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

    Hi Guys,

    Would you do Söyuncu (EVE / NOR) to Matip (TOT / avl) for -4 even if you won't play him after this GW?

    Söyuncu likely to only play EVE.

    Thoughts...?

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

      i would sell soyuncu but matip may rotate with konate one game

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

        Do you think he will? I'm not so sure.

        1. The Mentaculus
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 2 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Expect he'll play both

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

        No he won’t

    2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Won't

    3. Reacher
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Yes i would

    4. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Why do you think Soy Boy plays one one game?

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

        You think he'll play Norwich after Leicester have exited Europe...?!!?

    5. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Maybe if you played Matip in 37-8, but probably not for just one week (assuming Soy gets one start in either game)

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

        I could play him over Weghorst (NEW) in 38. Hmmmm.

    6. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      No

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

        Surely Klopp keeps with his same defensive pairing that has served him well in the league?!

    7. Kun Tozser
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Spurs will score

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

        What about Villa? I don't expect Söyuncu to net me more than 2 points if truth be told, but ya never know. Would you take a hit, Kun?

  11. Reacher
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    2 free transfers, decided I'm taking a -4, which 3 players are better to bring in?

    A, Ederson, James & Jesus

    or

    B, Nketiah, KDB & Alonso

    Thanks in advance

    Any < 4.7m Defender worth a -4 hit for Ashley Young?
    Playing BB.

    Don't fancy Spurs keeping a clean sheet in either game, but 2 x 2pts covers the hit.

    A. Dier
    B. Davies
    C. Tomiyasu
    D. Ake
    E. Colgate (have Pickford)
    F. Keep Young

      Go for Sessegnon if you getting Spurs defender - at least he looks like getting an attacking return

    Hi

    Current team
    Ramsdale
    White James TAA Cancelo
    Son Coutinho Jota Saka Sterling
    Weghorst

    Dubravka ASM Schar Broja
    1FT 1.7 itb

    I think i Should get Salah but who Should i sell? Additonval founds i will get by downgrading ASM.
    Sterling, ASM, Coutinho -> Salah, Greenwood (Leeds), Foden
    Or Sell Jota to Salah by downgrading Weghorst and ASM?
    Both-8
    FH GW 37

    1. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      -8 is very hefty for one week

    2. Reacher
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Id go the Jota to Salah option

  14. Gazza2000

        Already have 3 pool players :/

    3. Kun Tozser
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      One of the Everton boys for set pieces against Leicester

      Or get 0.1 for Alonso

  16. Ruinenlust

    Will Gerard try to get a result against Pool or will he let them win?

    1. Kun Tozser
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      He’ll try and keep the score sown

      1. Kun Tozser

      Ridiculous to suggest an employed manager will send out his team to lose

      Seriously? Even if he supports Liverpool in the title race, he's going to have a hard time convincing his players to just roll over for them

      Yes off course, makes perfect sense. In the dressing room he'll just say "Lads, play really badly so they win, cheers." and that's it. Job done. No doubt he'll use his remote control from the dugout though - for the microchips implanted in the players' heads - just to make double sure they follow his orders though.

  17. CRAZY TRAIN
    • 12 Years

    Current team for GW36, with a FH and 1.1m itb. Planning to FH GW38.

    Ramsey
    TAA Matip Cash Cancelo Alonso
    Salah* Son Gordon
    Kane
    (Toney Ramsey fodder)

    Options under consideration:
    a) Son > KDB (for this gw only, and revert back to Son for GW37)
    b) Toney > Rich
    c) Cash > Laporte/Dias (not sure on this one with Villa gdw 37)
    d) Ramsdale > Kasper
    e) Roll the FT

    Any feedback on my options is greatly appreciated.

    1. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights

      Missing a midfielder? Also, out of interest, what's the difference between yout current team & ideal FH38?

      1. CRAZY TRAIN
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Oh yes, Oops! Saka is my 4th mid, thanks for pointing that out.
        I haven't really worked on a GW38 draft if I am honest. My GW strategy was dependent largely on the City double, and GW37 would have been best for my team set up. As it is its GW36 and given that I can put out 11 decent DGW'ers already don't feel a FH this week is necessary. So for me currently GW38 appeals, but it could well change and 37 could come back in to play. Therein is another reason to use my FT this gw, to mitigate against the risk of losing it on a FH

  18. grennans2
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Which do you think is the better option here? A or B? (2FT, planning to FH37)

    A) Mount & Kane > Salah & Nketiah
    B) Robertson, Mount & Kane > Matip, Salah & Jesus (-4)

    Ramsdale
    TAA - Robertson - James - Cancelo - Laporte
    Son - Kulu - Saka - Mount
    Kane

    Dubravka - Gordon - Weghorst - 4.5

  19. 1justlookin

    Last dilemma on my FH team -

    Mount
    OR
    Maddison

    1. Fit_to_drop
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I would be tending towards Mount

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

      Mount

    3. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Maddison

  20. Fit_to_drop
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    I have 1m left to spend on this FH team if I want to
    Trying to crack top 100k

    Schmeichel
    VVD Laporte Alonso Matip
    Son KDB Saka Salah
    Jesus Richarlison

    McGovern Gordon Kelly Richardson

    Suggestions?

  21. RealSocialDads
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Have 1 FT and FH next week, on BB:

    A. Mount -> Saka
    B. KDH -> Gordon

    Team is:

    Schmeichel Foster
    TAA Alonso Cancelo Cash Davies
    Son Salah Mount Foden KDH
    Dennis Nketiah Pukki

    1. Fit_to_drop
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      B of those 2

    2. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      A

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

    Riyad Mahrez.

    + 24 goals in all comps
    + On pens
    + Taken off after 84 mins in the Madrid game
    + Plays for the champions
    + NEW/wol are the fixtures

    - He might be rotated for one of the games.

    I'm gonna do it. It just makes sense to take this risk. If he gets 25 points we'll all look back and say it was so obvious to get him.

    1. Philosopher's Stones
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I went Foden because of funds. He's definitely a great option this GW.

    2. Wenger's Puffer Jacket
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      So by your logic you think he's gonna get 25 pts from one game?

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

        2 games

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

          Such a thing as being subbed on and scoring

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

        I didn't say he was gonna get rotated. Just that he might.

        It's worth the risk imo.

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

      Im doing Sterling to Mahrez. Could even end up captaining him.

    4. CRAZY TRAIN
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      If you need to take risks to gain ground in your ML, or ranking then yes I think its a decent move. I'd like him in my team, but no clear routes in for him.

    5. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Like it, wish I could get him in.

    6. Baines on Toast...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I could do Castagne > Tsimikas (play Cash) to fund Coutinho > Mahrez (-4). Tempting!

    7. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      i am thinking so too

      Was all week going to do Son to KDB (and transfer back) with Werner to Richlison for a -4.

      Now thinking Coutinho to Mahrez instead.

      I think Mahrez as more chance of playing twice now, after CL exit.

      Man City has to win the league now. Possibly less Pep rotation??

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

        Do it! Be brave. Unless Pep drops a bomb I'm gonna go there.

        1. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Would you do Mahrez over KDB ??

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

      More likely to say why did I go there again

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

      I really like it - the way it falls for me is I pretty much have a straight up choice between KDB and Mahrez so going with KDB - The difference between the two doesn’t afford me to do anything different like Richarlison over Nketiah. If it falls well for you though I think it’s great. The fixtures remaining are the sort of fixtures City are going to need him

    10. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Had him since my GW34 WC so hopefully he gets some returns now, has done nothing for me the last 2 weeks.

      Same with Coutinho too. If he didn’t have a DGW I’d have shipped him out this week.

  23. Philosopher's Stones
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Rep

    Captain:

    A: Kane
    B: Cancelo
    C: Richarlison
    D: Foden
    E: Saka

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

      B

    2. Fit_to_drop
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      A really of that bunch but i might be too safe. He could get a pen in the tough game

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      No Salah/Mané/KDB/Son?

  24. nolard
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Werner - keep or move?
    Will involve a hit.

    1. Philosopher's Stones
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Don't sell for a hit imo

      1. nolard

        cheers

    2. Crunchie

      • 5 Years

      if thie hit is for Richalison, i would do it (I am)

    With Ramsey potentially out, Gordon or Dewsbury-Hall?

    1. Il Capitano

      Gordon

      A for me

  28. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Guys.Would you take Mount out for Mahrez ??

    1. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      For free, yes

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

      Yes but only if you have 4 other incredible options.

      I'm likely going Salah, Foden, Saka, Mount, Mahrez midfield.

      1. Cojones of Destiny
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        why not kdb over foden?

  29. PScholes18
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    BB team A or B:

    Basically Kdb and Watkins vs Son and Jesus. Will FH in 37.

    A:
    Schmeichel - Foster
    James - TAA - Matip - Cancelo - Royal
    Salah - Son - Gordon - KDH - Kulu
    Richarlison - Pukki - Jesus

    B:
    Schmeichel - Foster
    James - TAA - Matip - Cancelo - Royal
    Salah - KdB- Gordon - KDH - Kulu
    Richarlison - Pukki - Watkins

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      A

    2. Fit_to_drop
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Slight edge to A

      1. PScholes18
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Thanks both of you. Sticking to my original plan then.

  30. lawstheman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    After the ins and outs of the UCL SF's I am asking if any FFS managers would consider swapping Salah with KDB for GW 36 for a -4 hit.

    I have no City coverage and would still be left with VVD..

    I'm thinking there is likely to be rotation for Klopp's forwards in view of the unprecedented Quad being still on, and this may rob Salah of minutes.

    -4 though ????

    Cheers
