Grab, Avoid or Bore Off! – Fantasy Premier League 2017-18 Part 2
The International break is here and it is of course time for yet another edition of Bore Off! As ever during the international break we take the time to catch up with some of our site regulars, ask them how their seasons are going and get their thoughts on some key issues that we all want answers to. And then of course ask them some stupid questions that we all really don’t want answers to but are too intrigued to look away. We have already caught up with 3 of them but such was the clamour to be involved this week we have a bonus ‘part 2’. And so we are delighted to be joined by Serendipity, Milburn and Footy Fantastic (Guy) for part 2.

Great article again love these.
A quick wc draft.
What do u think?
Macro
Prefer 1.
But:
Luk-> Morata
Fernandinho->Caroll
Pope-> Speroni 😮
Dann->Azpi
That should work, might even be able to keep Pope.
shane7
Or this 1. Feel free to rip it up ha
Red Robbo
I prefer the second, but that’s because I prefer only having two of the big money strikers and using the money elsewhere. The other team is as good as they come with the “Big 3” up top.
Smash10
I prefer the first one. However on a wild card I think you need a full squad. Not sure about Dann being in there.
shane7
Cheers guys
Elleffcee
Or Mbemba.
Smash10
Yeah Mbemba needs to go on a wild card
Milburn

Poor Costa
Milburn
I actually thought of you as I posted this Smash! Apologies 😉
Smash10
Ha ha still funny

Quick question,
Which one would you go for:
A) Mane & Surman
B) Salah & Carroll
Full team would be:
Pope, Elliot
Azpi, Otamendi, Jones, Ward, Rosenior
De Bruyne, Richarlison, Gross, Salah/Mane, Carroll/Surman
Aguero, Kane, Abraham
£0 in the bank
Thanks in advance
Milburn
Mane and Surman
Smash10
Think I’d prefer RLC over Surman and Carrol
Milburn
I’ve pressed the button folks, WC active.
This is what I have at the minute; I could do:
De Gea, Simpson and Sane to
Courtois, Stone and Sterling
Which makes the team looked more balanced but I’m not sure it’s the right thing to do, Sane seems to be more nailed than Sterling currently but who knows how long that will last.
Would of liked Richarlison in but it’s impossible with everyone else.
I’ve also chosen to ignore my own advice in this article and carry on Carroll and RLC rotating purely as enablers.
Bmac87
I personally would do the three changes you have stated. The way I look at it is what combination will score highest and I would expect Courtois, Stones and Sterling to probably outscore the other three over the course of the season.
There is also the option/dilemma that I have as to whether to have Salah/Carroll or Mane/Surman. Im leaning toward the latter purely for the fact I would rather have Surman as an option to play rather than Carroll. If both stay fit I think Mane/Salah will score similar points for the rest of the season.
Milburn
Thanks Bmac, and yeah that was the reasoning behind my answer.
Cookie
Hey Milburn,
I really like the DDG shout but if you got Speroni instead (not comparable I know!!) would that enable RLC or Carroll to Richarlison?
Milburn
It would to the penny mate. Do you think Richarlison outscores DG for the rest of the season?
Smash10
I like what Cookie has suggested personally Milburn. You have Jones for United defensive coverage and keepers get save points which always narrows the gap. Plus Richarlson is looking really good
Milburn
Right it’s done, the FPL gods have spoken.
I’m happy with that, also makes it a lot more interesting when you’re watching the games supporting another attacking player. Note: this science should not be followed for guaranteed FPL points.
man u man
Guys great reading there, thanks. Quick one, Mee or Lowton?
Milburn
Mee has a slight advantage when it comes to goals scored but it’s hardly prolific.
Bmac87
Mee, like Milburn stated above, greater goal scoring threat plus the bonus points he may pick up.
man u man
Thanks for that guys.
Smash10
Don’t think there is much in it. Lowton might grab the odd assist.
man u man
OK thanks Smash. It doesn’t really matter so which one I pick.
