    Enzo to beat Wissa by four points?

    1. Tcheco
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 5 hours ago

      Not worth it

    Hi Tom,

    Bench 1

    A) Wissa
    B) Mbeumo
    C) Bruno F

    Cheers

    1. evilfish
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 5 hours ago

      I think Wissa, can see Bruno getting a return against a misfiring City and Brentford aren't great away from home.

  4. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 5 hours ago

    Only have 2 playing defenders, get another in for a hit and who would you go for it? Cash? Ran or J Gomez? Would like an attacking one to offset the -4

    1. Kaneyonero
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 5 hours ago

      Hall?

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 5 hours ago

      munoz is the most attacking player in the league tbf, fixtures turning soon and defence improving. 4 ycs and tough next 3, fair enough if you dont fancy it but yeah. most of that threat is goal threat which is a huge bonus over assist threat.

      if its to play week in week out, milenkovic might be decent. goals will be random but he gets on the end of enough set-pieces to score 3-5 goals this season imo. at least some (more) cs potential than most cheapies

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 5 hours ago

        *most attacking defender sorry, not player obv 😀

    3. Tommy Template
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 5 hours ago

      Is it a long-term issue or this week only because of bans? I'd be tempted to leave it if its the latter. Obviously the former needs attention at some stage, no time like the present even for a hit.

      1. Kaneyonero
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 5 hours ago

        Bans and one injured

    4. Sun God Nika
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 5 hours ago

      none and roll

    Hi Tom think I should ditch mbuemo for Enzo and wood for Isak?

    Flekken, fabianksi, Gomez, taa, Gabriel, Lewis, saka, salah, mbuemo, Palmer, semeyno, wood, Pedro, cunha
    Thanks

    Hey Tom, what do you think about shAit-Nouri? Casual pick?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 5 hours ago

      The fixtures are running out, everyones getting rid anyway

    2. Boss Hogg
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 5 hours ago

      But if you already have him, might as well keep for Ipswich and Leicester.

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 5 hours ago

        Yeah even ManU at home is a decent fixture

      2. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 4 hours ago

        I would never own a wolves defender.

  7. Tcheco
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 5 hours ago

    Watkins to Jackson?

  8. evilfish
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 5 hours ago

    Do you think I'm right to bench Enzo seeing as I have two other Chelsea? Anyone else you'd rather bench?
    Apart from the power three mids, I have: Semenyo, Enzo, Cunha, Jackson and J Pedro.

    1. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 5 hours ago

      Id bench both Semenyo and Pedro ahead of Enzo.

      1. evilfish
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 5 hours ago

        I'm worried that Enzo might not start and come on for a one pint cameo.

        1. Brosstan
          • 11 Years
          1 year, 4 hours ago

          Thats a fear indeed. I think he is one of the players in the Chelsea squad who is least likely to get a cameo though. THey have so many fringe attackers who are vying for those late minutes.

        2. Gommy
          • 15 Years
          1 year, 3 hours ago

          No chance. Currently has the armband, fully rested and didn’t travel to Kazakhstan. In the best form he’s ever been in since he joined us.

    2. Tommy Template
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 5 hours ago

      Its Semenyo vs Enzo. As a Semenyo owner he's not been doing much for a while bar getting banned, a bit unlucky on occasion but he doesn't ever feel like he'll massively punish you for a benching either.

    Hi Tom.
    1 FT this week and 5.8m in the bank...

    Fab (Flekken)
    Gabriel, RAN, Hall (Mazraoui, Greaves)
    Saka, Salah, Palmer, Semenyo (Rogers)
    Wood, Cunha, Joao Pedro

    1. Upgrade Flekken to a set and forget (Alisson or Raya?)
    2. Upgrade Greaves to a more "nailed" cheap defender (Huijsen or Colwill?)
    3. Upgrade Greaves to a big hitter (TAA, VVD or Timber?)
    4. Bring in Isak (but sell who?!)
    5. Roll it

    ???

    1. g40steve
      • 7 Years

      2

  10. F4L
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 5 hours ago

    you think Semenyo is more threatening playing off the right or left? underlying stats from the right seem a tad better this season.

  11. Karan_G14
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 5 hours ago

    Fabianski
    TAA Gabriel Timber
    Salah Saka Palmer Enzo
    Isak Pedro Cunha

    (Flekken Dunk Greaves Winks)
    1 FT & 0.9m

    GTG for GW16?

    Plan is to do downgrade Cunha to Raul
    and upgrade Enzo/Winks in coming weeks.

    1. David Parkinson
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 5 hours ago

      You could of course upgrade Flekken to Alisson, bang on the money.

      1. Karan_G14
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 4 hours ago

        Too much money in defence imo and this money will be needed to upgrade the 4/5th mid. Also I want to keep the option open for 2nd attacker or assistant manager for the double.

  12. No Kane No Gain
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 5 hours ago

    Play Wissa or Dibling this weekend?!

    Wissa horrible away and dibling on the bench in the scout team lol

    1. David Parkinson
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 4 hours ago

      I expect Brentford to score so start Wissa.

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 4 hours ago

      Wissa

  13. J to the T
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 5 hours ago

    Gvardiol and Solanke to Colwill and Isak for free?

    Planning wild card 18 so I can get Gbardiol back then if I want to

    Want to roll but have no cover for Gabriel. Feels a waste swapping a bench player!

    1. Sun God Nika
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 4 hours ago

      roll -

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      He was on the bench yesterday

    2. Milk, 1 Šuker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 4 hours ago

      He came on to replace MLS in the 64th minute v Monaco

  17. Milk, 1 Šuker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 4 hours ago

    How many times has this most transferred in player 'curse' actually come to pass in the 15 gameweeks we've had so far this season?

    1. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 4 hours ago

      Saw a post summing it up recently on here. I think only like 2 or 3 players out of 15 avoided the curse.

      1. Milk, 1 Šuker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 4 hours ago

        That's bad. Isak up this GW. Do you have access to this info?

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          1 year, 4 hours ago

          You actually want a link to superstitious nonsense? 😆

        2. Brosstan
          • 11 Years
          1 year, 4 hours ago

          No unfortunately. It was a random post on here. Mbeumo was one of them, he got like 15 points when he was most transferred in (then blanked the next week when he was also the most transferred in).

          I think this is just random noise though... not worth paying attention to. Get the good players!

    My defence is as follows: Gabriel Lewis Myko Greaves Van den Berg. Which option you prefer?

    A. Greaves to Timber (defence this week Gabriel Timber VdB)
    B. Greaves to TAA (defence this week Gabriel TAA VdB)
    C. Lewis and Myko to Timber and TAA (-4) (defence this week Gabriel TAA Timber)
    D. Greaves and Lewis to Timber and VVD (-4) (defence this week Gabriel Timber VVD)

      Agree

    2. David Parkinson
