    • 15 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Start Botman or Henry?

    1. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Bot could split the odds with Henry, can see Toney ruining double defence dreams.

  2. g40steve
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Captain Grealish or Marcus?

    Bench correct?

    Kepa,
    Ake, Trippier, Chilwell,
    Rashford, Saka, Mitoma, Gealish
    Watkins, Kane, Toney

    Raya, BrunoF, Purvis, Zinch,

    3.1

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      I’d be captaining Kane before Grealish.

  3. Garfield1001
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Any early Haaland news?

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      the game kicks off at 5.30 pm

  4. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Rashfords old Trafford form is insane. Most of Haaland’s big hauls happen at the Etihad.

    Rashford (C) anyone? Interested in hearing your thoughts

    1. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Early kick off/Ghandi though.

  5. OutofShorts
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Ake seems a bargain in the Man City backline, is he as nailed as minutes suggest?

    1. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Giving it ago

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Will be first choice for the Bayern game - this week a tough one for City defence picking

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

      Ake deserves to play but you just never know with Pep.

    4. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Pep just said he's "undroppable" & Laporte wants out, so yeah he should be safe

    5. OutofShorts
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Nice, reckon I’ll take him as a Shaw replacement

  6. the dom 1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    sorry bottomed

    G2G right?

    DDG
    Moreno, Trippier, Chilwell
    Salah, Grealish, Rash, Mitoma
    Kane, Watkins, Halland

    Iversen, Andreas, Botman, White

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      G2G. Captain?

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

    2 years, 8 months ago

    I'm starting Toney, who would you start?
    A. Botman (A v BRE)
    B. Estupinan (A v TOT)

    5. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years

      Yup tough one

    6. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      A

  12. marcos11
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Best City defender to replace Shaw?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Use your bench

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Ake. But not worth a hit

    3. Ninja Škrtel
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      dias most nailed

  13. Fodderx4
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Morning troops, which GK to play...
    a) Kepa (got Chilly)
    b) Raya
    currently on Kepa but can see Raya racking up saves points

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Kepa

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      A

  14. Ninja Škrtel
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    start

    a. Zinchenko
    b. Burn

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      B

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Burn - higher CS odds but likely both concede

  15. Paddy Gooner
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    DGW announcements screwed my plans. kane > Haaland for free? y or N?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Yes

    2. Fodderx4
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      For free probably as you'll do it eventually anyway.
      I've got Kane Haaland and Watkins and sticking for now but may lose Kane for Mo by 34.

    3. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Sorry, whens the next DGW after DGW34?

      1. Paddy Gooner
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        actually my error. fpl tools extension didn't reset and i thought my whole team had blank 32.

    4. Glasner Ball
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Would want to have both tbh so would say N (and transfer another striker out for him)

      1. Paddy Gooner
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        yes that was my original plan and i'm sticking to it - next week Toney > haaland

    5. HD7
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      I was wondering if I should sell Kane or Toney to fund Haaland.

      If I sold Kane I could have Haaland De Bruyne next GW.

      I sold Toney, so it is Maddison to Grealish or Mahrez probably next week

  16. arkom
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Salah & Toney --> Grealish & Haaland (C)

    -4

    YEY or NO? Ty! 🙂

    1. RashFraud
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      N

    2. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      No for me

    3. Fodderx4
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Na

  17. Siva Mohan
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    starting Trippier.. play Botman or Estu ?

    1. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Went for double Newcastle myself.

  18. melvinmbabazi
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Start Gabriel or Mee?

    1. Fodderx4
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Mee

  19. mcginnntonic
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    A) Ederson & Gabriel
    B) Martinez & James

    On WC

  20. lindeg
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    I’ve shipped Watkins instead of Havertz to Haaland.

    Could be a disaster. Need to differentiate.

    1. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Oh my

    2. GC123
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      What were you drinking last night? That could come back to bite you

      1. lindeg
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Havertz stats are good, need to find points somewhere.

        Make or break.

        1. GC123
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          Havertz is awful. Stats is one thing but points are more important. And Watkins has 8 in 10

          1. lindeg
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 8 months ago

            Not saying this is a sound decision, but it’s somewhere i could go bold without a major risk. Watkins does not haul often. Lampard could jumpstart Chelsea, Havertz on pens and stats are not irrelevant.

    3. Il Capitano
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      My condolences

    4. ggfussball
      • 2 Years

  21. Nightf0x
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    A) start macalsiter or mitoma
    B) start henry or do tarko -4 to stones

    • 7 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Mac-allister to Grealish (-4)??

    have mac sitting on the bench, grealish will slot in the 11 over march

    1. Fodderx4
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Not worth a hit for me, Brighton are playing Spurs and in great form.

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Still feels a crazy move to me to sell a Brighton attacker for a hit and also have to bench another Brighton attacker as a consequence 🙂

  23. HD7
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Still not sure who to start between:
1)Henry or Estu
    
2) Martinelli or Mitoma



    Kepa
    

Chilwell Trippier Henry


    Rashford Saka Maddison Mitoma
Haaland Kane Watkins 



    Steele Martinelli Estupinan Shaw


    1. GC123
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      I’d bench Maddison. Leicester are dire

  24. Chalobah's Witness
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    My brain is exploding!
    Shall I play Mitoma or MacAllister?

    1. Nightf0x
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Same question

    2. Fodderx4
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Mitoma as in the form of his life.

    3. marcos11

    3. The Ilfordian

    4. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Thanks all

  27. jimnastics
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    I imagine this discussion has happened a fair bit recently... but I need to play one out of Saka and Martinelli, thinking Saka purley has Martinelli's time might be cut short with Jesus + Trossard around. Thoughts?

    1. marcos11
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Saka

    2. Sgt. Schultz
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      play Saka

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Yep Saka

  28. TochanMama
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Pope
    Gabriel Trippier Mee Estupinan (Neco)
    Saka Martinelli Debruyne Rashford Mitoma
    Watkins Kane Toney

    Who do I even bench?

    Right now its a 3-5-2 with Toney and Estupinan out.

  29. LinkenRoach
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Bench 1 of Odegaard or Harrison

    Midfield
    Saka Rashford Mitoma ???

    Spread the risk with Harrison or load up arsenal midfield?

  30. HD7
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Who do I start?

    Henry or Estupinan
    Mitoma or Martinelli

    Currently:
    Kepa
    

Chilwell Trippier Henry


    Rashford Saka Maddison Mitoma
Haaland Kane Watkins 



    Steele Martinelli Estupinan Shaw
