      Have to admit he looked great against Everton, but let’s see if he can do it against a proper side

      1. Debauchy
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 24 days ago

        Yeah , more monitoring required , but gut says he's back

        1. THFC4LIFE

          Saying that I bought him in last night lol

  5. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 24 days ago

    JWP coming in under the radar could he be worth a punt?

    1. HamezMace
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 24 days ago

      Think he’s a great shout, cheap, seemingly nailed and on set pieces

    2. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 24 days ago

      More of a casual transfer atm I think. He gets these points sometimes, mostly due to set pieces, but they aren't predictable enough. Liverpool next, and likely no GW31 fixture.

      Could change my tune over the next couple of GWs if it turns out he does have a GW31 fixture, but then again his run of good fixtures isn't quite long enough, so may as well get Milli or anyone else who's cheaper.

    Benteke being overlooked? 😮

    Will have a game in GW31 if Huddersfield don't get past Birmingham tonight and United in the next round.

        I don't really use the word never, but in this case i have to say never again, i'd rather have only 10 players.

        he really doesn't look like the player he was at villa anymore. Plus I think Palace bought a new striker, who could compete for minutes I guess

      • Limbo

        Never pick, never play, never captain.

      Who'd you rather captain out of this lot?

      A: Salah (sot)

          Salah!

          His EO will be ridiculous this GW, even with the fear of reduced minutes I don't think its worth the risk not captaining him.

        start Ayew (BUR) or Lingard (new) this week? Lingard likely to be dropped?

        1. Debauchy
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 24 days ago

          Well if Lingard is to start it's a no brainer . Taking my chances with him one last time

      5. HamezMace
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 24 days ago

        What are we thinking for a Man City defence.
        I’m concerned Otamendi could be saved for CL games now, with Stones and Laporte getting more regular PL games.

        Anyone else concerned by PL/CL rotation, especially for City.

        1. GENERATION X
          • 12 Years

          Vince says Hi

          1. HamezMace
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 24 days ago

            I’m saying that Ota is their top defensive asset right now, and likely to be saved for CL.
            Kompany I’m not sure, but I’d never risk him as an FPL pick.

            1. GENERATION X
              • 12 Years
              8 years, 24 days ago

              Yeah - I'm not sure City CBs are a great call right now...

        2. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 24 days ago

          Yeah Otamendi's on the chopping block. Starting him this GW and then reassess.

          1. HamezMace
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 24 days ago

            WC defence is tough!

        3. WVA
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 24 days ago

          Would steer clear for now, some other good options anyway

      6. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 24 days ago

        Kiko GW32-34 (BOU, BUR, hud), very surprised more folk aren’t talking about this.

        You can get him now for only 4.3m....

        1. A.T
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 24 days ago

          Already got him 😎

        2. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 24 days ago

          Ahead of the curve 😎

        3. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 24 days ago

          Better to save 2FTs for GW32 so you don't need a hit to get him in

        4. Debauchy
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 24 days ago

          lol, he could well reward his only owner soon

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Bonus magnet

        6. Debauchy
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 24 days ago

          Now that he is almost back to fitness will he oust Janmaat ?
          You may have to wait just a little longer Jaf

          1. Limbo
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 24 days ago

            Yep, risky.

      7. Jimmy Boy
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 24 days ago

        Doucoure, JWP or Allen as fifth mid?

        1. A.T
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 24 days ago

          First one

        2. Garlana
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 24 days ago

          Doucoure

          1. Jimmy Boy
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 24 days ago

            Would you stretch for Deulofeu over Doucoure, or is it not worth the extra cash?

            1. Garlana
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 24 days ago

              I think it may be, that being said it's only been two matches and doucoure is nailed on and is doing well for his price. Gonna wait a week on deul and save my ft this week.

              1. Deulofail
                • 10 Years
                8 years, 24 days ago

                Better to get Deu now or never I think. (or at least not until GW32)

                1. Garlana
                  • 11 Years
                  8 years, 24 days ago

                  I'd have to move son out this gw for him and it's his home form that concerns me.

                  1. Deulofail
                    • 10 Years
                    8 years, 24 days ago

                    Fair enough. I wouldn't bother with Deu then. I'm not either, as much as I do want him.

                2. Limbo
                  • 15 Years
                  8 years, 24 days ago

                  Tempted, but as an Everton fan, I know he can disappear for a few weeks. Easy to miss his points.

                  That said I’ve got Lingard...

                  1. Deulofail
                    • 10 Years
                    8 years, 24 days ago

                    Yep. With a username like mine, I know that all too well. But he still tended to look dangerous. I think the team organisation was as much the trouble as anything else. At Watford, he seems to have more responsibility to influence the game through the centre if he likes, and he can express himself through means other than delivering delicious balls from out wide. Only time will tell if this continues, of course, but I think it's promising given that he's a bigger player for Watford than he was for Everton.

                    1. Limbo
                      • 15 Years
                      8 years, 24 days ago

                      Agree. I’m 90% on swapping for lingles

            2. Deulofail
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 24 days ago

              Definitely is. Easy. Definitely. But what is a "fifth mid" to you? Does that mean you will be benching him most weeks? If yes, then no.

              1. Jimmy Boy
                • 9 Years
                8 years, 24 days ago

                Just means the cheapest midfielder of my 3-5-2

                1. Deulofail
                  • 10 Years
                  8 years, 24 days ago

                  And he will play every game? Never rotated with a defender or a forward? In which case, Deulofeu is worth the outlay.

        3. Fpl Richie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 24 days ago

          All better than Lingard

          1. Limbo
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 24 days ago

            I’m going with Doco, or Delafeou - that team is set up to score

        4. WVA
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 24 days ago

          Doucoure

      8. pol
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 24 days ago

        start one:

        A- Ogbonna (WAT)
        B- Duffy (stk)
        C- Quaner (BOU

      9. HamezMace

        ...Martina nailed for Everton, Sam seems to like him.

        Is his place under threat from Coleman anytime soon?

        1. Garlana
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 24 days ago

          Baines?

          1. Deulofail
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 24 days ago

            Everton defender Leighton Baines' recovery schedule put back again

            But Sam Allardyce has been satisfied with stand-in Cuco Martina's form

            https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/everton-defender-leighton-baines-recovery-14238988

            “It is difficult to say exactly (when Baines will be available), because there have been that many times he has been due to come back well before now and that has not happened,” he said.

            “I would have thought... end of this month, with any luck.

            “Then you have to get game time and training time, even though you have recovered from the problem you had.

            “You have to do several days’ training with the first-team, then try to get a game with the Under-23s or behind closed doors.

          Martina plays as a LB, Coleman is a RB

          If it helps I just did Christiansen > Martina

          As mentioned, Big Sam's happy, very little competition until Baines back (4+ weeks), decent fixtures and guaranteed GW31 game.

          All good stuff if you overlook Everton defence being a fairly ropey FPL proposition

        RLC back any time soon? Have had so many other troubles that I still have him

          Unlikely it appears. Many still have him though, Will leave sometime soon. sometime....

          I As a fellow owner I think he's done to be honest. Hodgson said not long ago that he was back with Chelsea and facing surgery on his ankle.

        VVD or Davies
        Eriksen or KDB (have Sterling)
        Firmino or Auba

        How about this for a -4?

        Chupo > Walcott
        Lingard > Delufeuo
        Otamendi > Fernandez

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 24 days ago

          B is definitely the best. And I would actually rather do it for a hit than a FT (would perfer to save the transfer or get the hit out of the way). So I'd say go ahead with Delufeup, whoever that is, but selling Choupo is a bit of a waste, and Ota > Fernandez is foolhardy imo

          1. Deulofail
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 24 days ago

            Sorry didn't realise you mean all three. Not worth it for me. Maybe Bauer/Shawcross/Martina instead of Fernandez for the GW31 fixture, and you have a better argument, but selling Lingard is the only pressing matter, if it's really even that pressing at all

            1. Royal5
              • 14 Years
              8 years, 24 days ago

              Really don't rate Chupo. Although I didn't see the last Stoke game. Somehow ended up buying JRod & Chupo a cuple of weeks ago. Both failed so far.

        2. Debauchy
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 24 days ago

          prefer just the first and save 1

          1. Royal5
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 24 days ago

            Can't afford the first one alone.

        3. Limbo
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 24 days ago

          Keep choupo - Wally is going to be extremely frustrating to own, Everton are ragged, misdirected and devoid of confidence.

          1. Royal5
            • 14 Years
            8 years, 24 days ago

            Everton did look terrible against Arsenal. Just really not sure about Chupo.

        In GW31 can we play wild card and free hit chip??

        Hence there’d be 2 weeks to play with actual team and get some price rises...?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          No

        2. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 24 days ago

          No - max 1 chip per GW.

          One chip per game week. You don't make any profit on players you bring in on your free hit.

        Mahrez replacements?

        Or will he start against City? Cheers

          Missed training again today. Doesn't look likely.

        Kane (Depoitre - Quaner)

        I would like to replace Masuaku and perhaps downgrade Depoitre.
        Any other thoughts or comments?

        1. CRO KLOPP
          • 8 Years

          Keeping ( want to save)

          1. The Royal Robin
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 24 days ago

            Are you playing him though?

            1. CRO KLOPP
              • 8 Years

              Yes

        2. Rainer

          Looking forward to his 15 pointer.

          Keeping, playing.

          Can't see Conte resting him again in a hurry after last night's horror show.

          1. The Royal Robin
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 24 days ago

            No, I suppose you're right. From that perspective it couldn't of gone better for us as Alonso owners. Chelsea are in a bit of a muddle in general though.

            1. TMERC187
              • 12 Years
              8 years, 24 days ago

              I would argue for a different result had Alonso played.

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 24 days ago

            Although he played the previous horror show.

        4. My heart goes Salalalalah
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 24 days ago

          Having a drink or 2 on him for returning 15 points

        5. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 10 Years

          No issue with keeping him at all

      23. The Royal Robin
        • 10 Years

        This weekend do I play VVD or JWP? I think there's an argument for both imho.

        1. Magic Bean
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 24 days ago

          Tough one. I'd probably go with JWP

          A. Save

          D. Other??

          Any thoughts appreciated..
