  18. Who let Udogie out?
    • 1 Year
    1 year, 7 months ago

    A. Sanchez, Walker,James, 4.5 mid

    1 year, 7 months ago

    A. Neco + Saka (bench Neco, 442)
    B. James + Matinelli (bench Neto/Bailey, 532)

    B seems like no brainer right?

    1. Obamawang
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Yeah, I'd go B.

    2. Rhodes your boat
      • 7 Years

      B

  20. Obamawang
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    I think I'm locked in. Thoughts:

    Ward
    TAA Robbo Cancelo Dalot
    Salah (C) Mount Rashford Neto
    Haaland Jesus

    Iversen Neco W Andreas Greenwood

    Is is best to keep 0.5ITB for any transfers, or upgrade Neto to Martinelli?

    1. Shteve
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Not sure about the double United personally. I'd prefer Martinelli over Neto

    2. Clive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      I always like to keep 0.5 for price changes

  21. Junks
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    Im very close to giving Kane the armband over Salah...... am i mad??

    1. Clive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      No, Kane is a beast this year

    2. Rhodes your boat
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      Nope I’m going son

    3. Planet Jo
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      No

  22. Rhodes your boat
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    A) aaronson 5.0def (Walker/trippier/cash)
    B) martinelli ait-nouri

    1. Super John McGinn-
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      B

  23. Davemc23
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    If ever there was a year to go all out, this is the year. Extra wildcard and 4 mil playing gk and def along with 4.5 mil playing mid.

    Threemium locked in!!!

  24. selig
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    Sorry for repeat. Mad to go no arsenal first gw or two? Got a few high value differentials I can move around if need be, I just don’t see palace being pushovers (leicester does worry me a little though…)

    1. I am 42
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      started with 3, then 2, now left with Jesus only

      1. selig
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 7 months ago

        Yeah, me too. Got Gabriel, I meant no attackers actually. I rate them longer term but I’ve been trying to pull a smash n grab with some weird early picks and the first gw at least feels like it’ll disappoint. Could even see Jesus dropping a bit lol.

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

    How's this look for a final draft
    Ramsdale
    Cancelo Trippier Dalot TAA
    Salah Luis Diaz Rashford grealish
    Jesus Kane

  26. Evasivo
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    No love for Maddison ?!

    1. selig
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      I’d have him if not for Vardy, def overlooked imo

    2. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      In my team

  27. Super John McGinn-
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    Current draft is this but worried about Perisic so got some decisions to make

    Ramsdale
    TAA, Robbo, Cancelo, James, Perisic
    Salah, Martinelli, Bailey
    Haaland, Jesus

    Ward, Neto, A.Periera, Archer

    A) Ramsdale, Perisic, Neto
    B) Iverson, N.Williams, Kulu
    C) Ramsdale, Cash/Trips, Neto + 0.5

    1. Rhodes your boat
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      A

    2. Steiger
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 7 months ago

      If you're worried about his minutes, then just play Neto.

      Leave as is imo.

  28. TanN
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    Thoughts on this, I've been away since Sunday so haven't been keeping tabs on players etc so let me know if there's any injuries etc

    Ward (Meslier)
    Trent Cancelo Trippier Zinchenko Cash
    Salah Grealish Diaz (Neto Andreas)
    Kane Jesus (Plange)

  29. I am 42
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    3600s to deadline

  30. Baines on Toast...
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 7 months ago

    Might bench Cancelo.

    1. Shteve

      Said Pep... Never
