    Who to bench:

    a) Asensio
    b) Sarr
    c) Mateta

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    With everyone likely to transfer out Sarr.. is he becoming a differential. He’s in form

    1. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 7 Years
      9 months, 6 days ago

      Are they?

    2. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
      • 14 Years
      9 months, 6 days ago

      Is he?

    3. just a man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 months, 6 days ago

      Think most people are transferring Saka out not Sarr. Maybe some are benching though

    4. Philosopher's Stones
      • 5 Years
      9 months, 6 days ago

      Since when is a points run of 1, 2, 2, 5, 2 considered form?

    5. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      9 months, 6 days ago

      Sarr will be in my XI next week when Palace play Spurs.

    6. Oasthouse FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 months, 6 days ago

      I get the point, and it’s a slight risk, but if it’s for mbuemo then I think he will score more between now and the end of the season. Important to not just look at one game in isolation

    7. SligoRovers1928
      • 1 Year
      9 months, 6 days ago

      I did Saka and Him out, it’s not that he’s bad it’s that there are better players

  3. jonnybhoy
    • 13 Years
    9 months, 6 days ago

    What to do? I've got 1FT + 0.1M ITB. Thinking of bringing in Mbuemo or roll?

    Raya
    Gvardiol Kiwior Munoz
    Salah (C) Saka KDB Rogers
    Mateta Marmoush Isak

    Areola Sarr Livramento Williams

    1. The Iceman
      • 3 Years
      9 months, 6 days ago

      Bring Mbeumo in.

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years
        9 months, 6 days ago

        Drop saka

  4. Philosopher's Stones
    • 5 Years
    9 months, 6 days ago

    Start one

    A: Konate
    B: Lacroix
    C: Wan Bissaka

    or

    D: Move one of them to an Everton defender for a -4

    1. The Iceman

  6. Tsparkes10
    • 7 Years
    9 months, 6 days ago

    AM…

    A) Glasner
    B) Pep
    C) Howe

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      9 months, 6 days ago

      Table bonus

  7. Tonyawesome69
    • 7 Years
    9 months, 6 days ago

    Possible Liverpool rotation to start in the remaining league games imo (not all at once)

    Konate to Quansah
    Gravenberch to Endo
    Mac/Szobo to Elliott
    Mac/Szobo to Jones
    TAA to Bradley (when fit)

    We already know about Tsimikas/Robbo, 2 of Gakpo/Diaz/Darwin/Jota at LW and CF.

    Chiesa is a difficult one to predict. I don't think he starts but will get sub apps.

    Alisson, VVD and Salah will start the remaining games imo

    1. Bleh
      • 9 Years
      9 months, 6 days ago

      Cheers Tony. I have just Salah at the moment, think it will stay that way!

  8. Bleh
    • 9 Years
    9 months, 6 days ago

    People with AM left, are you activating it now or for GW36-38?

    Also best use of 2 FTs with this team?

    Raya
    Saliba, Gvardiol, Livramento
    Salah, Saka, KDB, Murphy, Rogers
    Isak, Marmoush

    (Areola, Mateta, Munoz, N.Williams)

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      9 months, 6 days ago

      It’s tough… tempted by Glasner or Pep

      1. Kdobienufc
        • 1 Year
        9 months, 6 days ago

        Same, 3 palace 2 city but feel like palace beat forest but have to do sarr to mbuemo to get glasner, fearful of a sarr haul lol

  9. Yordan Letchkov
    • 9 Years
    9 months, 6 days ago

    Hi guys
    Any recommendation much appreciated here. 1FT / 0.2itb

    Raya
    Saliba Gvardiol Dias Munoz Wan-Bissaka
    Salah Saka Rogers Sarr Rashford*
    Isak Mateta Marmoush

    I'm thinking of the following moves:

    Dias/Rashford to Mbuemo/Van den Berg and activate AM chip with Pep for -4

    What are your thoughts?

  10. Wheato182
    • 13 Years
    9 months, 6 days ago

    Sarr or Eze worth a hit to get Bowen? if so which one?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      9 months, 6 days ago

      No

    2. Punned It
        9 months, 6 days ago

        Toss a coin, really. I've been more frustrated with Eze, if that helps.

      • CheesyZoot
        • 6 Years
        9 months, 6 days ago

        I’m chasing so have just done a -4 to do Saka and Sarr to Mbuemo and Bowen

        1. SligoRovers1928
          • 1 Year
          9 months, 6 days ago

          I’m 90 points clear in my mini league and did the same move!

    3. FplmorelikeFml
      • 1 Year
      9 months, 6 days ago

      Who would you bench out of this lot:

      A) Saka
      B) Murphy
      C) Rogers

      Thanks my friends and good luck this GW!

      1. Punned It
          9 months, 6 days ago

          C, I think.

        • Tonyawesome69
          • 7 Years
          9 months, 6 days ago

          Probably Saka, wait for Arteta presser later today

          1. FplmorelikeFml
            • 1 Year
            9 months, 6 days ago

            Thank you beautiful Tony, though I've come to expect nothing from Arteta's pressers anymore

        • Caligula's third favou…
          • 3 Years
          9 months, 6 days ago

          A. Am considering Rashford >Rogers and then benching Saka

          1. FplmorelikeFml
            • 1 Year
            9 months, 6 days ago

            Wow bringing in Rogers. Only considering to play Rogers cos I have him. Good luck and hope it works out!

      2. Bleh
        • 9 Years
        9 months, 6 days ago

        KDB and which other to transfer out for Mbeumo and Bowen?

        1. boombaba
          • 13 Years

        2. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 9 Years
          9 months, 6 days ago

          Tough. Both should end the season well

      3. boombaba
        • 13 Years
        9 months, 6 days ago

        Start
        1. Saka
        2. Asensio

      4. Kompanjongene
        • 7 Years

        B) Neco Williams
        C) Ait Nouri
        D) Sessegnon

        1. Odikostar

          AD

      5. Fuddled FC
        • 14 Years
        9 months, 6 days ago

        Best transfers? 1 FH

        a) KDB & Mateta > Mbeumo & Watkins (-4)
        b) Sarr & Mateta > Mbeuno & Wissa (-4)
        c) Mateta > Watkins
        d) Mateta > Wissa

        1. boombaba
          • 13 Years
          9 months, 6 days ago

          KDB to Boomo only

        2. MikeS
          • 11 Years
          9 months, 6 days ago

          1. Fuddled FC
            • 14 Years
            9 months, 6 days ago

        3. Tsparkes10
          • 7 Years
          9 months, 6 days ago

          Save your transfer

        4. Odikostar
          • 11 Years
          9 months, 6 days ago

          D

      6. CheesyZoot
        • 6 Years
        9 months, 6 days ago

        Bench one:

        A) Rogers
        B) Murphy
        C) Sarr

        1. Odikostar
          • 11 Years
          9 months, 6 days ago

          A

      7. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 9 Years
        9 months, 6 days ago

        2FTs here and 2mil ITB.

        Can do Savinho >> Bowen or Mbeumo for free.

        Worth changing Saka or Mateta too?

        Raya
        Gvardiol Munoz Konsa
        Salah Sarr Saka Savinho
        Isak Mateta Mamoush
        (Areola, Murphy, Estupinan, Burn)

        1. CheesyZoot
          • 6 Years
          9 months, 6 days ago

          Who are you considering as a Mateta replacement?

          1. RAFA THE GAFFA
            • 9 Years
            9 months, 6 days ago

            Watkins (if I sell Saka) or Wissa otherwise

        2. Odikostar
          • 11 Years
          9 months, 6 days ago

          Would get Mbeumo and Wissa

      8. it lies in the proles
        • 9 Years
        9 months, 6 days ago

        Why so little love for KDB? He’ll sure play and City still fighting for top 4?

        1. MikeS
          • 11 Years
          9 months, 6 days ago

          Yer I think he will play didn't play in the cup so bound to start

        2. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 9 Years
          9 months, 6 days ago

          I was thinking of buying haha. Not sure why people are selling

        3. Tonyawesome69
          • 7 Years
          9 months, 6 days ago

          Maybe folks are slightly put off with him not starting the FAC SF game.

          He should start against Wolves back 3/5 setup

        4. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 months, 6 days ago

          He's £9.2m and his 12 pointers are a bit tricky to land.

          Maybe gw36 is primed.

          He'll definitely play gw37, if fit after the cup final.

          Will he even start in the FA Cup final?

        5. Odikostar
          • 11 Years
          9 months, 6 days ago

          I have him. Tempted to captain, but feels like he suddenly could end up on the bench

      9. Karan_G14
        • 9 Years
        9 months, 6 days ago

        Bench one:

        A) Asensio (FUL)
        B) Sarr (NFO)

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 9 Years
          9 months, 6 days ago

          A

        2. Odikostar
          • 11 Years

          A

      10. joshuadal
          9 months, 6 days ago

          who to transfer out for mbeumo?
          A - Kluivert
          B - Sarr

          1. Tonyawesome69
            • 7 Years
            9 months, 6 days ago

            Keep Kluivert - still competing for Europe, on pens and LEI (H) in 38

        • MikeS
          • 11 Years
          9 months, 6 days ago

          What do you prefer here for my team??

          A. Saka to mbuemo for free
          B. Saka and mateta to mbuemo and wissa -4
          C. Saka and sarr to mbuemo and Bowen -4

          Those with BB left.
          Is it best to use it sooner than later to avoid more rotation when less to play for?

          1. boombaba
            • 13 Years
            9 months, 6 days ago

            BB this week would be
            Areola (spurs at home)
            Kerkez (Arsenal away)
            Konsa (Fulham home)
            Murphy (Brighton away)

        • FC Mandingo

            • 11 Years

          3. Tonyawesome69
            • 7 Years
            9 months, 6 days ago

            No, not clear if Savinho and Konate start this GW.
