      Is LMS score net of hits?

      In other words if score is 50(-8) is 50 or 42 score taken into account for LMS?

    Scanning the fa cup fixtures. Can’t see any more fixtures tbh. Unless saints beat wba then we will get wba v Bournemouth

    Maybe Huddersfield v palace

    Uninspiring really. Load on Liverpool !

      Minimum is 3 with either Huddersfield or Man United having a game.

    3. I Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      HUD-CPL will almost certainly take place. If Huddersfield did manage to get through to the quarter finals that would mean United are out and WHU-MUN would take place.

      1. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        The former could even be on by the end of tonight if Hudds lose against Birmingham in the replay.

    4. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Southampton beating WBA would be a big help. I wouldn't mind having Francis, Ibe, Wilson, and even Dawson and a one-week punt on Sturridge/Rondon .

    Hey guys, need help please

    Ederson (Coleman)
    Jones Alonso Mustafi Bardsley (Maguire)

      Wow can’t see a transfer I would wanna make

      Possibly mustafi to vvd with 31 in mind

    1. zotter

      Mariappa

    2. SAUCY SALAH

      Dummett and Kelly

    3. Ahtikullervo

  7. SAUCY SALAH
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    76 points behind ML leader, both of us have BB chip left but only I still have my Triple Captain.
    Hazard is my main differential, apart from that our squads are very similar.

    Enough time to comeback?

    1. zotter
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Yes. Any wildcards ?

      1. SAUCY SALAH
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        We've both used them

    2. fantasydan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      yeah man

    3. COLLIN QUANER

      Easily

    4. Optic1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      You will have to nail C picks and hope he falters a few along the way.

      What's your team?

      1. SAUCY SALAH
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Adrian
        Alonso | Jones | Mee
        Salah | Sterling | Hazard | Mili
        Kane | Aguero | Ayew

        Elliot | T.Carroll | Simpson | Dummett

        0.1ITB 2FT

      2. SAUCY SALAH
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        I know, going to be tough. Half tempted to go all out on the chasing and captain the differential Hazard, but not sure

  8. Zenith UK
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Earlier post bringing up again for more debate now the usual faces are online;

    DDG
    Ota / Azpi / Alonso / Smalling
    Ramsey / Salah / KDB (c) / Lingard
    Firmino / Vardy

    Pope / DCL / CM / Masuaku

    2FT and 0.3ITB.
    I'm thinking Ota and Alonso out Naughton and Lowton in. Leaves 4.9M in the bank.
    This means I can then upgrade Vardy or Firmino to Kane and CM to Deulofeu?

    Not sure. Tinkering. I'd like to make at least one change this week purely because I don't want to "waste" a transfer.

    1. Zenith UK
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Correction would probably keep CM with 31 in mind and ditch Lingard if he doesn't turn up against Newcastle.

    2. SAUCY SALAH
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I'd certainly keep Alonso (assuming back next week) for West Brom at home

      1. Zenith UK
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        You don't think he's now a rotation risk and I'd like the funds freed up for Kane and to get a 5 man midfield.

    Great article! 🙂

  10. fantasydan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Is there a reason this website is preferring Fernandez over Naughton? Ta

    1. Numb

      Points last GW

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 9 Years

      Cheaper

    3. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Looking at the head to head and RMT scores I slightly prefer Naughton

    4. fantasydan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah he scored last week but a bit of a one off. I usually prefer fullbacks for attacking threat. Only £0.1m in it 😉

  11. EL_FENOMENO
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    VVD, FIrmino, Salah too much ?

    1. zotter
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      No way. Especially considering 31

  12. RAFA THE GAFFA

    Christensen > Mawson with my FT?

    Pick
    Ota / Mawson / Jones
    Son / Salah / Sterling / Choupo
    Kun / Kane / Wilson
    (Elliot, Ox, Duffy, Kiko*)

    1. Goonsquad245
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Save the cash and go Fernandez for me. Never know when you might need it....

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        I could do Kiko > Fernandez or Naughton and keep Christensen?

        1. Goonsquad245
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          I'd just sell Christensen if I'm honest, more cash to be carrying around on your bench than Kiko. What are your WC plans?

          1. RAFA THE GAFFA
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            No plans yet. After the 31 blank and before the doubles I think

  13. Aaaatsu

    Help needed!

    2 FT and 0.7m ITB

    --------------------Ryan--------------------
    Otamedi ------- Jones------- Ogbonna
    Lingard - Salah - Sterling - Hazard
    ---- Ayew ------ Kane ----- Aguero ---

    Sub: Speroni, Mariappa, Kenny, Lofthus-Cheek

    I am clueless of what to do.
    I would like to better my defence by transferring Kenny and/or Ogbonna.
    And, what about Lingard?
    Lofthus-Cheek dont worry me that much at the moment as he will be my last sub.

    Any help and tips appreciated 🙂

    1. Hotdogs for Tea

    Thinking about replacing Masuaku with a player guaranteed a fixture in GW 31. Was set on Bauer but read that Glen is back soon. Shawcross a decent pick?

    1. FC Hakkebøf

    Adrian - Elliot
    Otamendi - Shaw - Dawson - Gomez - Francis
    Salah - Sterling - Son - Shaqiri - Ibe
    Kane - Kun - DCL

    Planning on keeping my one FT this week, but should I be worried about fielding three defenders? Surely, one of Ota, Gomez and/or Shaw will play, right? Right? Please? (I could do Shaw/Gomez to Bauer/Mee/Mawson, if needed.)

    1. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      You will be ok.Ota-Dawson-Francis nailed and they will start imo.Good to go.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years

        Thanks, Wulf. Even if not, it still seems prudent take the chance and have those 2 FT to use in GW28.

        1. FC Hakkebøf
          • 7 Years

          Yeah save ft.. will come on handy

        2. wulfrunian
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Would you start Ibe or DCL?

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            Ibe. It's hard to feel confident of DCL starting unless Sam gives a big hint of it in his presser.

    Options currently under consideration:
    A. Save

    D. Other??

    Any thoughts appreciated..

    1. zotter

    Right starting xi. Right cap?

    Foster
    Alonso. Vvd. Daniels

    2. FC Hakkebøf

        Don’t you have a cheaper mid

        1. FC Hakkebøf

        1. FC Hakkebøf
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Bench Lingard then.. and look to downgrade him asap as you will be playing Wilson in the next couple of gw's

  25. Brehmeren

    West Ham about so sign Evra on a free transfer. Ridiculous.

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Why is that rid? Pretty much equivalent to them signing Zabaleta

      1. Brehmeren
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Because he kicked a fan in the head, which he is currently serving a European ban for?

  26. Fantasy Gold

    Had 2 FT.

    Good move?

      Very good

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Not imo... im not sold on the Walcott wagon just yet.. but the pro is that he does not have a bgw... sooo it really depends on which chips you have left

  27. Tazah
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    been thinking about this for a while now.... i think we should start using the transfers a lot more smartly.

    since you can have 2 at any one time it makes sense to use one to fix your team during that week for any ''preferences'' and have the other on standby for any injuries and you keep rolling it over until you do

      I'm holding Lingard. A few decent shots last game out, didn't look particularly poor. Think he'll get another start.
