    Play or bench Rogers or Nkunku for GW1?

    1. Help Me!
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      I have Nkunku over Rogers, but I also don't have any other Chelsea players and I do have Watkins.

      thanks, i'm covering those three defences so i'm happy. Hopefully the Flekken punt pays off too, i'm thinking Palace will be a bit rusty up top after Olise going and Mateta playing in the olympics.

    Best GK of these for GW1 only? Budget not a concern..

    A - Pickford
    B - Onana
    C - Sels
    D - Vicario

    1. CABAYE4
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      A

    2. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      D or C

  3. jayzico
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Amad or Morgan (5th emergency midfielder)

    1. LangerznMash
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      This is an emergency

  4. ElliotJHP

    Good luck to and only to my fellow Bruno owners tonight, haul incoming my friends

  5. Count of Monte Hristo

    Locked in

    Henderson

    TAA Porro Barco

    Salah(vc) ESR MGW Garnacho

    Haaland(c) Havertz Isak

    1. boombaba
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      No Jota may hurt

      1. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        😆

  6. Help Me!
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    For first 4 GWs, which pair is better?
    a) Haaland + Jota
    b) Watkins + Salah

  7. CABAYE4
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Anyone have any idea who Chelsea’s first choice CB is?

    6 of them at 4.5, hopefully one of them stands out by GW3!

    1. ElliotJHP
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      no idea who Chelsea's first choice is in any position let alone CB

      1. CABAYE4
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Very true!

    2. jackothedon
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Fofana and Colwell 100%

      Fofana great option, very good in the opposite box - go for him if you think we can keep CS's.

      1. CABAYE4
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Interesting - will keep a look out over the first couple but seem well priced for run from GW3.

      2. DandyDon
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        is it just me or is Fofana not even in the game!? is there a limit on how many defenders they can list for a club! haha. I see Chelsea's other centre backs but not him

        1. The Mentaculus
          • 4 Years
          1 year, 3 months ago

          You have to turn to page 2. Generally not a good sign!

    3. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Fofana and not sure

  8. funny money
    • 16 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Currently have 0.5m in the bank. What is best?

    1) bank it as it gives flexibility
    2) upgrade sangare to Rogers for greater 1st sub points potential
    3) upgrade a 4.0 defender to quansah (or alternative)

    Team as follows (any other feedback gratefully received). Many thanks!

    Areola fabianski
    Saliba Porro hall harewood Barco
    Saka Salah esr Minteh sangare
    Haaland Isak pedro

    1. royals forever
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      2 or 3

      Overall 8/10

  9. corderz

    What's thoughts on my latest draft?

    Henderson Fabianski
    TAA Saliba Quansah Robinson Barco
    Saka Jota Nkunku ESR Rogers
    Haaland Isak Solanke

    Lost on last page

    Morning

    Your help is needed please

    Who is the best 6.5 - 7 MF for this front 8 for the first few GWs (3 - 4) of the season

    Salah Saka ESR Jota xxxxxxxx

    Isak Solanke Muniz

    Any ideas would be welcomed

    1. Help Me!
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Nkunku or Eze
      Not sure if I would have both ESR and Muniz for starting 8 for all 3-4 GWs.
      Could do Rodgers for ESR and Gordon

  11. Sprunty
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Son and Havertz
    or
    Saka and Solanke

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      I went Saka + Havertz.

    2. Oooo Matron
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Like the boldness of A

    3. DandyDon
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      i think both are good but i'd definately go with Saka and Solanke, i think Havertz may have to share his game time with Jesus more this season.

    4. Help Me!
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Saka and Solanke

  12. Alpex
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Gordon or Jota?

    1. Oooo Matron
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Gordon

    2. DandyDon
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      both are in my team. i think week one its Jota who may get more points as a few other options at Newcastle have had more minutes pre season like Harvey Barnes

    3. Conners
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Both

  13. Sun God Nika
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Need honest opinion

    What striker and mid combination would you have from these players

    Pedro muniz woods
    Murphy Minteh

    I’m leaning woods + minteh

    Any thoughts

    1. Oooo Matron
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Muniz and Murphy

      1. The Mentaculus
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Agree. Fulham's fixtures are great & trust their attack more than Forest. Like Minteh for longer-term I think but maybe haven't seen enough yet to be sure; pretty confident Murphy will start with a bang

        1. Sun God Nika
          • 5 Years
          1 year, 3 months ago

          Would you remove hall to fit murphy in or pope?

          1. The Mentaculus
            • 4 Years
            1 year, 3 months ago

            I think so. Hall could definitely turn out to be an excellent pick but I just can't be sure of his nailedness at this stage

      2. Sun God Nika
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Cheers who would you remove out of pope and hall to fit murphy in as i have isak of course?

  14. DezPrs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    2 dilemmes left :
    - Nkunku-Wood vs Solanke-Rogers
    - Pope worth the extra 0.5 over Henderson ?

    1. Oooo Matron
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      A (just) and Henderson

    2. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      SR
      Yes

  15. Obamawang

    1. Help Me!

      A

  17. DandyDon
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Has anyone seen how light the Toffees squad is!? They can barely put out a team if they don't make more transfers. Thats with playing 39 year old Ashley Young! Good news is the 11 you'll have to go for looks quite attacking with Doucoure, Harrison and McNeill and perhaps two up top? Any worried Everton fans out there?

  18. space mercenary
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Just noticed on the Xgi / 90 tables last season...
    Rashford 0.32
    Porro 0.3

  19. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Most overlooked players??

    FWDs
    Wood
    Wissa
    Welbeck
    Strand Larsen

    MIDs
    Bilva
    Murphy
    Minteh
    Martinelli
    Mitoma
    Rashford

    DEFs
    Martinez/Mazraoui
    Castagne
    Dunk

    1. DandyDon
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Murphy and Martinelli but Trossard is always a worry there.

  20. Bullet Eder
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    I need help with my final selection dilemma please:

    A. Gvardiol, Minteh, Wood

    B. Porro, Amad, Solanke

    A leaves 0.5 in the bank.

    1. BellyKlopp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      A

    2. Skalla
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      C. Porro,Minteh,Solanke will borrow you the 0.5m, don't think Amad starts now after Garnacho cut his holiday short and played well

  21. BellyKlopp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Thoughts on my no Haaland team?
    Raya (Turner)
    Saliba, TAA, Gvardiol (Barco, Greaves)
    Salah, Son, Jota, Rogers (Winks)
    Solanke, Isak, Havertz

    1. tmstrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 1 Year
      1 year, 3 months ago

      I get going without Haaland is scary, bit this still looks good.

    2. Arfaish
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      I’m seriously considering going Salah GW1 just to have him captain that week. Then hitting to do Salah>ESR, Havertz>Haaland for GW2.

      I think Salah can easily cover a 4 point hit as captain.

  22. We Go Again
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Is Sangare or Winks the better 4.5m bench cover?

  23. tmstrand
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 1 Year
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Hey guys!

    Feeling like my squad is close to complete, but would appreciate any input.

    Raya Henderson
    TAA Hall Andersen Mykolenko Barco
    Saka Eze ESR Jota Murphy
    Muniz Haaland Isak

    Suggestions on:
    A) A little tempted by Raya -> Pope, but that leaves me without ARS in defence.
    B) Mykolenko (or someone else) -> Robinson?
    C) Eze -> Gordon?

    Thanks!

    1. We Go Again
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Henderson -> 4.0, you will start Raya every week

      1. scarlet
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Agreed

  24. MikeLowrey
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    A) Munoz & Winks
    B) Quansah & Rogers

    The mid will be the 8th attacker

    1. Skalla
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      A

  25. FredUpAlready
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Choose 1
    1) Hall and Garnacho
    2) Porro and ESR

    1. Arfaish
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      2 by someway.

    2. Conners
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Porro and Murphy, then get ESR later.

    3. UnluckyXI
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      I'm on 2. With Rogers as back-up for ESR if needed

    4. Skalla
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      I like 1) for GW1 but 2) is better longer term

  26. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Start Burn or Barco?

    1. scarlet
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Burn

    2. Skalla
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Deffo Burn , no reason to have him if he is benched vs SOU(H)

  27. Arfaish
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    So I prefer Haaland to Salah overall, but Salah by some way for GW1.

    Is it crazy to have Salah(c) GW1 and line up a hit to do:

    Salah > ESR, Havertz > Haaland GW2

    I really think Salah captain can easily outscore Haaland by 4 points and cover the hit.

    1. Snoop Udogie Dogg
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      I'm thinking of doing the same now, but then it's a case of Son +2.5m itb vs Salah this week

    2. Skalla
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Never a good idea to plan a hit and even more so with being able to bank 5 transfers , some are going Free hit or WC in GW2 for this reason or even benching Foden to cover GW2 but luckily you can wait and make that decision with more info after GW1

  28. The Red Devil
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Pick a combination-
    Keeper is Henderson

    A- Munoz + nkunku
    B- Saliba + ESR

  29. fajmonkey
    • 15 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    No arsenal cover in defence....

    Saka and Myko

    Or

    Bruno and Saliba

    I've gone Haaland and salah

    Cheers
