Grab, Avoid or Bore Off! – Fantasy Premier League 2018-19
Having heard from the positive bunch, we now move onto the ones who are not so much, which should be fun… To be fair, we’ve been massively judgemental and quick to conclude based on a one line response. We shall let you judge for yourselves whether we were right or not… #wewere 😉
Welcome to all, from the Glass is half empty club….

Hi gang. Hope you’re all well. Could you please have a look at my FH squad. Have 0.2 itb. Cheers!!
Kralin
Looks good to me. The defence is slightly compromised but not that compromised.
The only minor quibble would be a lack of Man U players. Given that they’re up against two sides both comfortable in the league and with a huge cup semi to play, investing in Man U may not be a bad idea.
Stone Frog
Any thoughts on Batshuayi vs Millijovetic?
Neilos
Hi stone frog. I’ve gone Mili for pens and maybe set pieces.
Neilos
Cheers Kralin. Will have a tinker. Have you any suggestions?
Kralin
Depends how much your heart is set on Kane. Advantage = ace striker pretty much guaranteed 180 mins. Disadvantage is his price plus the fixtures aren’t brill. And I doubt he’ll be your captain.
I’d tinker with a Kaneless side. Eg Kane to a Man U forward, or the Chelsea geezer. Then your B&HA defender could become a Man U defender. And possibly the Chelsea goalie instead of Ryan.
Neilos
Nice one Kralin. To be honest the Kane issue was on my mind. Ok cool will have a look. How you set for next game week?
Kralin
Just tinkering. Don’t have Kane. Don’t have any Spurs, come to think of it. Rashford and Zaha currently in the draft. Big decision will be whether to have a Man City defender (or their goalie) or D Silva. Or do something wild, like Cookie, and have Jesus as well.
Will almost certainly have 3 from City, 3 from United – and possibly 3 from Chelsea. Current draft has 3 from Crystal Palace, which I very much doubt will remain. Schlupp may be enough Palace, at the final reckoning.
Neilos
I was looking at Dilva at one point but was put off. Do you think Rashford is a must? Could drop kane and upgrade the rest of the team. Zaha is tempting too
Frenchie
Double Brighton at the back looks a bit too much to me.
Apart from that, very good team!
Neilos
Cheers for the feedback Frenchie
XHUNT@
Hi..need a favour.
What do you think about my FT.
Thanks
XHUNT@
Sorry its a FH.
Stone Frog
Not sure on Lindlehof, Son and Jimenez, although they all could work.
Kralin
Trim the fat off your side, XHUNT@. I’m talking about Valery. He’s a luxury you can’t afford.
See what news comes from Man U re their injured players.
Stone Frog
The main discussions seems to be 2nd/3rd striker and forth mid. Thoughts on Knockaert? FH draft 0.0itb.
Kepa
Laporte Smallish Wan-B
Hazard Sterling Pogba Knockaert
Aguero Kane Batshuayi
(Hamer Romeu Conolly Simpson)
Kralin
Thoughts are that’s he’s not a bad enabler. But if you’re going down that route (cheap 4th mid to enable wonders elsewhere) then I suppose Stephens could come into play and give yourself more money to play with.
But that’s not a bad side.
Stone Frog
I have also considered that. Just short of Bats to Rashford. Could bring in Schlupp and go 433?

For discussion …..
Thanking you.

Probably prefer the second one there GP, although I’d probably go with the first one ultimately. I’m not convinced Delu doesn’t get rotated in midweek due to the semi, likewise I can see Giroud getting one of the two games; God knows he deserves it! Whereas I think Son and Zaha play both, all things being normal.
Frenchie
Giroud might deserve it but I don’t see Sarri dropping Higuain. To me it’s almost 2 guaranteed starts.
Deulofeu on the other hand, I concur, which is a shame as he’s in my team currently.
inittowinit
I agree, Higuain will probably start both, simply saying that Giroud deserves one.
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
Great feedback Init.
Cheers mate.
Mitro
Prefer Higuain over zaha but I prefer son over deulefeo! 😉
Gallant Pioneer (@MitchellC_FF247)
That’s been discussed then! Cheers
Mitro
Either team is great is though GP.
Mitro
Barring any injuries in the international break I think this will be my FH team, thoughts? (Can’t seem to get in hazard unless I downgrade Kane)
inittowinit
Seems to be the key question for those who aren’t loaded. I went with Hazard.
I worry about Jimenez, I think he gets rested midweek. I would anyway if I was the manager.
Smash
I’m not even sure if Jimenez will start either
Stone Frog
Down grade the bench defenders then consider Lindlehof to Smalling or changing Jimenez.
Otieno
It’s not gonna be decided right until the points come in and then everyone who made the right 3 from Haz / Kun / Kane / Sterling will be crowing and the others will be crying. At the mo, Raheem is missing from my team
Elleffcee
Just messing about and did this squad with both Sergio + Jesus.
inittowinit
Not a fan of that if I’m being honest. Lindelöf has question marks over his involvement due to the baby situation for starters. I don’t like the Jesus pick when there are other cheaper options who will probably play twice. I’d kill him (so to speak) and upgrade Lindelöf and Foster to some other combo of City / Man Utd / Chelsea.
Elleffcee
Agreed. That lot won’t be staying.
