For feck sake:confused: my cousin and uncle are there at the moment, must ask them if the rumours are accurate :lol:
They're not rumours. He was there this week.

What worries me more is the comments about using the game to prepare for Real Madrid. Sterling was benched in the first leg (as was Aguero) with Bernardo Silva and KDB playing as alternating false 9's.

Tough one but i agree. Auba vs Watford maybe? I guess Arse are too unpredictable and Watford are fighting for their lives. I am TC'ing Sterling - seems the safest bet to make if you're playing odds but it's FF - someone is going to get royally screwed :lol:
Get out

I'm really disappointed from a FF that Sterling's been there this week...

Just feels like he won't be in the same Space as if he'd just stayed in England and rested / trained.

This season just won't settle down will it?

I was thinking of Triple Capping Raheem, but really not sure now.

Might possibly stick it on D.Silva, or maybe Kane...

I'm free hitting

My City players are D Silva, Mahrez and KDB, captaincy on D Silva

I've binned with the exception of Greenwood all our players and he's only there as he's cheap. I want to lessen my jinx on them I don't usually have United players as convinced ill jinx them but couldn't ignore Bruno and Mason

I've brought in Vardy to hopefully add my jinx to him against us instead

Think I'm stuck in 4th as my final position so it doesn't really matter

On free hit, £2.9m ITB:

Pope - McCarthy

Baldock - TAA - Tarowski - (Doherty) - (Fernández)

Martial - Fernandes (V) - Sterling - David Silva - (McCarthy)

Greenwood - Ings (C) - Kane​

Any recommendations?

I'd drop KDB, possibly for Pulisic. Get in Ings too, he's been brilliant for me

Defo don't Cap Ings.
Yeah I'm thinking of a City player (only worry there is rotation; might go with David Silva as he seems guaranteed a start in his last game). Think we'll be tight and nervy vs Leicester. I'd actually ship our players out (bar Mason) only there doesn't seem to be too much to bring in (Pulisic?)

Can't actually see any obvious value in using my FT this week

Pope - (Henderson)

Stevens - TAA - Doherty- (Fernández) - (Taylor)

Martial - Fernandes - KDB(C)- David Silva(V) - (Pulisic)

Rashford- Ings - Jiminez

I also can't decide whether to bench Pulisic or Fernandes.

Swap out Doherty maybe, any ideas?

Lose Rashford and Jiménez - bring in Kane and Greenwood.

I’m not sure I can even be bothered to spend ages thinking about it now. Got my free hit to play, I’m 150 points ahead of second in my league. I’ve dropped from inside the top 8k a few weeks ago to 20k now. There’s zero benefit to me tinkering

Just hope either the Rockstar or Scarface leak the City lineup at 2.45-3

The latter has said he will.

How hard do you think it would be to create an FPL You tube channel?

Thought about it but not sure because there's so many around.

How's this looking guys? Any views very much appreciated...

--------------------------------Pope-----------------------------
TAA-------------------------Boly------------------------Egan
Mahrez-------Raheem-------Martial-------Antonio
-----------Ings-------------Kane------------Giroud-----------

Obviously missing Silva but can't get him and Sterling in without taking too much of a Hit really.

Everyone looking so confident with loading up on CIty. I am sure that it is going to backfire.
Pep might rotate the full team or put up a defensive side in preparation for Real Madrid.

Going to push away from the norm a bit to try and steal a win. Might as well gamble at this stage. Taken a hit to bring in Kane/Antonio and am going to gamble and drop KdB...I think.

Need to do something different anyway as teams around me are too similar.

Also, does anyone know when deductions for transfers happen? Is it after window closes or at the end of the game week?

Don’t want to lose and think I am winning because I don’t know when the -4 comes off!

I *think* it deducts immediately once you confirm the transfer.

Will be posted there about 10 minutes before deadline.

At the first points update on the day of deadline (so after all games have been played on deadline day). In this case all games are on the same day so deductions will happen on Sunday evening.

Whack in scarface twitter fantasy football and I'm sure it'll come up.

Have fantasy footy scout up too.

Between the two if there's a leak it'll be there.

You will have to wait until late on though and show ballz of steel.

I think I'll do jiminez and mane to jesus and sterling (c) if both are starting.


Just a single if only one is.

So I'm leading a draft league as well. I've gone for 3 Burnley players for the last GWK.

I also have Mendy but not sure if he will start. Otamendi, Cancelo and Stones are available too.

I want to remove Maguire for one of them. Any idea of who to go with?

Loads of rumors about Klopp resting a few tomorrow. Nico Williams could well start instead of TAA. And they've got Milner back now too.

I'm sweating because I'm already carrying an injured Taylor so only Egan and Foden on my bench.

Pope

TAA / Maguire / Digne

Sterling (c) / Mahrez / Martial / Bruno

Kane (vc) / Ings / Wood

subs : McCarthy / Foden / Egan / Taylor

I'll take a hit if we get early City news and either of Sterling or Mahrez are out. Probably bring Silva in.

Hmm, Where have you read these rumours and is Robertson rotated? I can really do damage with my free hit if its true

The two of them seem to be 100% spot on so far.
Cheers, Where do you find the scarface fella? On Twitter? Searched through reddit and he was mentioned but no talk of where he puts up the leaks

gotta find him East og its only 5 mins Before kickoff

edit: Someone on reddit also mentioned that FPL rockstar would not leak for gw38

I'm not on twitter, but you can just find him here
https://twitter.com/fplscarface

Rockstar did say himself he wouldn't have GW38 news. Probably because it's a hassle smacking out 20 team's lineups in a mad period. It might also start getting people asking how he's able to access all of them (if he can). It'd suggest to me that he's either involved with someone at Sky or the press, or knows someone who is, due to tv getting the lineups a period before the 1hour deadline.

He also had the slightly annoying habit of just mentioning 6-7 players, so inevitably would have everyone asking about the missing ones!

But he's gone private now anyway..

Trying to catch 45 points. Which one of these to bench?

KDB
Dilva (TC)
Salah (VC)
Pulisic
Fernandes
Vardy
Greenwood
Jiminez

I was thinking to bench Jiminez but my opponent has FH and think he won't pick Jiminez, who could be a differential, especially as Kepa is shitter at using his hands than Pogba.

It's all about differentials but difficult to second guess a FH

I need to make up 36points and am resigned to it not happening. Still aiming for Rashford and Traoré To Wood and Dilva -

need to pick Kane, Salah or Dilva for captain

Im 10 points behind first in my league. Pretty sure the team im chasing will have kdb as a captain.

i have bench boost and my team is:
Ryan
Doherty AWB garcia tarkowski pieters
Fernandes kdb mahrez dendonker
Ings greenwood jiminez

thoughts on captain pick? Im thinking of mahrez to make up the 10 pt deficit.

Change Mahrez to Silva.

It's his last game for the club, at home...surely nailed on to start and they'll smash Norwich by 4 or 5 probably and he's on fire at the moment.
