We knew Benitez was never taking point off his beloved Liverpool, so now it's game over another Salah goal as captain wouldn't half help punish those Kaners!
Fantasy Football 2017/18
- Thread starter FC Ronaldo
- Start date
same. More Pickford than Walcott for me. Swapped him for Pope months ago. Christ knows why.Meh. 2 points difference, so 4 overall. No Biggie. See what happens with the bonus points.
Hope Sterling plays tomorrow and smashes it.

Hence me saying it needed another goal.
Next to nothing in it this way
Kane cap - 10 plus Salah 8 = 18
Salah cap - 16 plus Kane 5 = 21
so a mere 3 point diffo.
Thought it was 6 before I actually checked, but 3 is nothing!

Well my transfers of Maguire and Eriksen didn't pay off this week...
A miserable week, so far I've only got 45 points, just De Gea, Lingard and Dunk to play. At least I got the Salah captaincy right but not a huge swing at all.

Went safe with Williams. 3 nice and tidy games they said.
The bit that put me off Eriksen is no game 31.
Any transfers i'd make over these 3 weeks would be with someone with a fixture then
The only problem is that there are not many players in that bucket right now once you complete the Liverpool quota.
Shaqiri is the obvious one and everyone would be flocking to pick him. But his GW31 is surrounded by horrible fixtures. I got Ibe in anticipation few GWs ago and the little fecker hasn't played last 2 games now.
Had Son and Mahrez in my list to transfer in this GW. Of course I didn't do either.
52 points with Aguero, Sterling and Dunk to play.
I think people are thinking too much about the upcoming BGW. Every team in that week except Liverpool are dog shit.
I'm bringing in cheap bench players from the teams in that week so my actual team doesn't suffer.
For example, I dropped Bardsley for Mariappa.

Watford plays away to Liverpool though. I would personally steer clear.
I would rather look at Bournemouth defenders/midfielders. After Spurs next GW, they play WBA, Watford, Crystal Palace. Some nice value in that run.
Yep. 3 Liverpool is obviously essential (feel dirty saying that) but most people will have them anyway.
I'm gonna roll this week and bring in 2, maybe 3 more.
Thinking Stanislas, Mounie and someone like Coleman, Baines or Daniels in defence. I won't be transferring out anyone that I lose value on either so the likes of Shaw, Albrighton and Vardy can go.
More interested in planning for the wildcard in gw32/33. Need to pack it with dgw players but not shoot myself in the foot during the weeks prior. It's gonna be fun.
I'm going into the BGW with six players (Robertson, Mariappa, Walcott, Salah, Francis and Daniels).
I don't have my WC so will TC on one DGW and Free Hit on the other.
Only 2 Liverpool players?!
Yeah. May get in mane
I see people are planning to make free transfers to prepare for the blank game week, so when is the time to use the free hit?
35 I think.

It is an awkward one. Luckily the guys in my work league have already used their freehit chip like I have. Otherwise that would be one heck of an advantage.
In theory. We are relying on the less championed players.
I should have ditched Richarlison about 3months ago, as he's not done jack for ages. But he'll at least have a fixture. Although he's playing 55 mins at the moment, quite infuriatingly.
Mariappa has come back into the team at the right time, so I should have 7 as we stand, or 8 if Holgate gets back in for Everton.
Brought in Ramsey to replace Sterling and he is not even on the bench! Good thing is I have Andy King on the bench who got 7 points. I hope Sterling doesn't start now.
Thanks Dunk! Nice to get a goal which isn't an OG
I should not have rushed to replace one Arsenal defender with another yesterday.
On 41(+6 off the bench) with Lingard and Jones to play...so just Lingard.
I have Jones, Ramsay and Sterling but so many other transfers in mind!

Hoping for points from Lingard and De Gea tonight.
Terrible week with only 49 points. Thankfully it doesn't look like any else around me did anything special this gw either.
Rolling transfer this week to improve my options for GW 31. Team picks itself...
Pickford (Brighton)
Ottamendi (Stoke)
Maguire (West Brom)
Davies (Bmouth)
Sterling (Stoke)
Albrighton (West Brom)
Walcott (Brighton)
Salah (Utd)
Firmino (Utd)
Vardy (West Brom)
Kane (Bmouth and captain obvs)
subs: Elliot, Robertson, Shaq, Shaw
Like I said I'll probably add Mounie, Stanislas and Schindler to that lot for GW31 giving me 9 potential players, then wildcard in GW32 and set up something like this...
De Gea, Fabianksi, Stephens, Lowton, Davies (Alonso), Robertson, Smalling, Salah, Mahrez, Son, Sims (Lingard), Silva (Arnautovic), Kane, Lukaku (Vardy), Ayew. All doublers in there except the Liverpool 2. Really want Alonso or Azpi in there too so might have to jig something around. Anyone obvious I'm missing?

A 4 point hit would see me swapping Arnautovic and Vardy for Gross & Firminho.
What do you reckon?
What do you reckon?
I'd keep Liverpool players for the next gameweek (31) colin, as there are only 4 games being played and Liverpool have a good fixture there (home to watford). Unless you're planning on using your free hit chip for that gameweek?
So Gross for Arnautovic is a reasonable move?
Would leave me with £1M in the bank, so I could still get Firmnho next gameweek, easily.
Or use the free hit thing.
Oops, sorry I was half asleep. Thought in your original post you already had Firmino and were contemplating getting rid.
Gross for Arnie does make sense yes, but tbh I wouldn't take the -4 to get in Firmino this week, do it next week - unless you are worried about his price rising and subsequently not being able to afford him. Might be worth it if their game this weekend was an easy home game, and while he might still get points away to United, I don't think it's worth the -4.
I have everything lined up for the final stretch of the season, know when to play my cards. I need everything to go right just to have a hope of making some money in my mini leagues!
Plan on dropping Salah in GW 34, for someone who is playing twice (KdB, B.Silva, Sane possibly) then bringing back in for the Free hit GW 35 and praying for the last 2 weeks he blanks.

Crazy talk. Salah is undroppable. I took him out once when Spurs had that double week and he was injured. Never again. Liverpool have got Bournemouth at home in GW34 by the way. City would probably have Brighton and Spurs. Add the Pep rotation factor in with City almost having the league wrapped up and it's certainly a brave move.
That said I do like the idea of Bernardo Silva getting a lot more PL game time at the end of the season. He could be a heavy scorer.
I'm desperate man...I need to take a gamble somewhere!
GW34 is a good fixture on paper for L'pool but are you going to captain him when he only has 1 game instead of Kane? Even with City as one of his two I think he is a more logical choice.
Of course not. I don't think I've ever captained him. Yes, i'm an idiot.
I'll probably be captaining Lukaku in that gameweek actually.
Just brought in Schindler to sit on the bench instead of Shaw who was doing nothing.
Aguero away to Stoke or Kane away to Bournemouth as captain?
All week I been thinking Kane but he played full 90 whilst Kun rested...

I'd go for Aguero if I had him. But I don't so Kane for me.
Feel like Kane is due a big haul. When was the last time he scored 2?
You know he plays for Huddersfield, right?
