The Boot Room – Rate My Team GW 8 – FPL Fantasy Football Premier League
Whether your arrows were a happy green or a more depressing red, we get to sit on our thumbs for a while as the internationals take precedence. We get to sit back, relax and enjoy watching our valuable FPL assets get flogged to death in meaningless qualifiers and even more meaningless friendlies having flown half way around the world for the pleasure. Now what could possibly go wrong?! However, there is plenty to think about and plan for. We will be back with the usual raft of articles next week ahead of GW8 but in the meantime we encourage you to plan ahead and post your teams and questions in the chat below. You can either go old school and type it out or you can post a picture of it along with the issues or transfers which you are pondering. Either way you are sure to get plenty of answers from our great community. As usual though if you don’t have any pressing team issues you can simply post your thoughts and feelings on any subject you wish. Within reason anyway!

Good to see Vincent Janssen score a goal again. Been ages and dude really has the quality just not the trust. Anyway, knew it was coming tonight. Cracking goal.

Morning all how are we all doing still pondering getting rid of Baines & McAudly for Stones & Morgan I will definitely let Mc go there fixtures are awful rest of def GK Sun / WBA , Def two above with Ars / Swa / Wat any ideas 😉
Rids
Bringing in Stones is good but I wouldn’t bring in Morgan as Leicester have Chelsea and Spurs in the next 3 weeks. Maybe bring in Smith for Bournemouth. But it depends on your budget.
Rids
Meant to say if you have more money bring in an Arsenal defender.
Brookyboy
Still say Vertonghen and Smith…
Silvers
Thanks Rids & Brookyboy could all change now if Luk injured Christ
WaxPython
Rate my team
Brookyboy
Midfield is still too weak…..
Mitro
+1
ASXE FC
u should change ibra and capoue…as soon as possible.. not having arsenal player is a big mistake for nxt 3 gws.plus costa is one yellow away from ban…plud de gae and blind will not be keping cs for coming fixtures
WaxPython
I have bellerin also I wrongly chose between Antonio and Walcott :/ I’m not sure I rather like ibra I’m sure he’ll pick it up same with capoue just a rough patch
WaxPython
I can get son in two weeks to replace antonio
WaxPython
I know it’s always been iffy

Do you have your WC left still?
WaxPython
Nope
Pancho
Wax, I would downgrade Blind and upgrade Hojberg to Snodgrass.
Kop Warrior
Looks like Lukaku may have picked up a knock last night.
Fergies Henchman
Could hurt anyone who has made early moves
ChrisOllie25
Might hurt me because I use 2 FT on bringing Son and Koscielny in for McAuley and Barkley. Might have to go -4 smh.
obrigado
Thoughts on my team!? Anyone I need to look at getting in?
Pancho
Obrigado I would wait to see what’s up with Lukaku. If he’s fine then I would do Ozil to Sanchez and Benteke to Deeney.
obrigado
Cheers for that! I feel as though everyone is getting in Sanchez and Deeney. Everyone will have the same team lol
Pancho
Obrigado, not necessarily. You’ve got Son and Snoddy in your midfield, so you’ve got enough differential factor. Gotta have Sanchez… :/
Magichatmatt
This is my team at the moment. Got 1 ft.
The worry is who comes back from international duty and actually plays! Worried about alexis playing on 12th, then Arsenal on 15th
Magichatmatt
And no cash in bank!
inittowinit
Hi matt, guess you’ll just have to wait on this one for further news on your potentially injured lot. It’s a great point on Sanchez too, he only got a 29 minute cameo after the last one.
Magichatmatt
Will be waiting on team news next week for sure mate……. Adding Lukaku to my list now!
On the cappo front I am definately going to look at their arrival back in training date to try and get a 90 minute man if possible
constantine
Matt. you can always play Capoue ahead of Sanchez if we get the news of him getting benched/subbed. rest looks good to go
Magichatmatt
Cheers Constantine
