FPL Breakfast Club – Episode 8 – Hazard a Guess

Join us for another episode of Breakfast Club today as we prepare for the Gameweek 11 deadline.

You can watch the show either on our YouTube channel where we will be live from 11:15am until 11:30am.

Joe will be joined by FPL General and Luke today to discuss plans for the next weekend of FPL action, with likely a debate over what to do with Eden Hazard (£11.3m) after Maurizio Sarri’s comments yesterday.

The General is coming off the back of some tricky weeks, his Gameweek 8 transfers coming back to bite him particularly viciously.

Meanwhile, Luke will update us on his 2018/19 journey after a technical problem ruled him out of this week’s Scoutcast.

We will also have the team news for Manchester United’s lunch-time trip to Bournemouth.

    If the Maddison out transfer backfires, is getting Maddison back (Richa out) a bad move?

      If it backfires, it's already too late I think. Long term he has to go.

      1. TAT

        With those fixtures? It was the fixtures that made me consider Richarlison out instead, really.

    Sanchez playing OoP.

    Bandwagon incoming

    1. HNI
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      No martial playing striker

      1. R.C
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Nah Sanchez

    2. Dr. Mantis Toboggan
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      How is he OoP?

      1. R.C
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Usually plays on the left, playing up front today

        1. Dr. Mantis Toboggan
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Speculation, could just as easily be Martial

  4. Numb
    • 9 Years

    OMG Stan

  5. HurriKane

    Guys Doherty 15 pointer incoming.

    Happened the last time he was 1sub on my bench. Bound to happen again. 😉

    1. NATSTER
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Let's hope Hazard totally miss out then.

      1. Silecro
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        I think he is closer to starting than missing out entirely

        1. g40steve
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          This, remember Newc

  6. OPTA FPL
    • 12 Years

    Wilson not on penalty today sad

    1. NATSTER
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I thought Wilson is ahead in the order. I might be wrong then.

      1. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        He is, king then Wilson?

  7. The Red Devil

    Brooks at 5.1 OOP? bou's twitter says brooks up top!

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Not always a good thing.

    2. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      He'll play off him in the hole

    3. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      More experienced mids like Zaha and Richarlison looks clueless playing OOP upfront

      Whats makes you think that Brooks will be any different ?

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        he is 5.1 😉

      2. Respect My Authoritah
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Zaha was good while up front alongside Benteke

  8. FPL Blow-In
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Fraser and Stanislas starting together. Could be trouble for Utd today.

  9. Piggs Boson
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Saanchez is going to create a lot of chances for Martial 😎

  10. Unbelievable Jeff!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    I did Brooks > Barkley 2 minutes before the deadline to see that Brooks is playing up front! This won't end well...

  12. wulfrunian
    • 7 Years

    Sanchez up top.

    1. Numb
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      How do you know?

      1. wulfrunian

        I forgot the question mark.

        1. Numb
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Ah right. Either him or Martial not sure

  16. AIRMILES

    Can someone come up with some good lyrics to a song about Mo Salah to the tune of Kay Sera Sera?

    1. Ron_Swanson
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Kay Sera Sera
      Whatever will be will be
      He's gonna score 2 or 3
      Kay Sera Sera

      1. Ron_Swanson
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Mo Salah Salah instead of Kay Sera Sera obviously

        1. AIRMILES
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          yes, and i like that effort. cheers

    • 11 Years

    I was up until 4am tinkering with my team trying to get Martial in and in the end saved a ft... I just know he is going to have a blinder.

  18. GREEN IS GOOD

    Mice down

    1. Numb

  19. Make United Great Again
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Sanchez up front! Finally Mourinho.

    1. AIRMILES
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      He's no good up front.

      1. Numb
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Erm, yes he is.

        1. Make United Great Again
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Tell him. He was great up there for Arsenal

          1. AIRMILES
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            I'm an arsenal fan, and he was never good up front.

            1. Make United Great Again
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 6 months ago

              Rubbish. So when he was playing up top and SCORING regularly...that was “never good” ?

              1. AIRMILES
                • 12 Years
                5 years, 6 months ago

                You're entitled to your own opinion, but I imagine every Arsenal fan who watched every match of Alexis' would disagree with you.

            2. Dosh
              • 10 Years
              5 years, 6 months ago

              Was he in your team when he scored a ton of goals playing striker?

              1. AIRMILES
                • 12 Years
                5 years, 6 months ago

                He scored more goals from the wing. He was played as striker when we didn't have anyone else. Wenger reverted back to Alexis as a winger when we had better options up front. He only played up front for around a dozen games - I genuinely think you're all a bit deluded about how good he was up front.

      2. Make United Great Again
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Completely disagree. He’s finished as a winger.

      3. Zilla
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Arsenal?

  20. IRBOX ⚽
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Why would anyone want to play for/under Mourinho?

    1. Ron_Swanson
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      £350k per week

      1. Az
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years

        excellent response

      2. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Simple

    2. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      he's one of the most decorated managers in pl ?

      if you dont rate him as a top manager you dont know cr@p about football

      1. Respect My Authoritah
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        poor response

      2. Make United Great Again
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        That’s not what he asked.

      3. IRBOX ⚽
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        I know a hell of a lot about the tactical and analytical side of football. How does that correlate with the careers this man has destroyed?

        1. HurriKane
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          well believe what you want if thats what makes you sleep at night

          it goes both ways. how many players he's developed and improved and how many title he has won ?

    3. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      They like to watch him hold up 3 fingers

        ‘Sree

    4. Obi-1 Kenobi-0
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I mean, I'd happily play under Mourinho. I haven't kicked a football since my last year of university. But yeah, I'd want to play for him if he offered.

    Salah (c)
    The thrill is back!

    1. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Takes you back to good times

    2. jaybradlights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Same - how exciting to have him as a differential against a makeshift Arsenal defence in the 5:30 kick-off

    3. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      interesting choice. i think he'll score but thats just about it. cant see liverpool rolling over arsenal

      on the other hand think aguero is due a big haul and soton is the perfect fixture for him to do so

      1. Obi-1 Kenobi-0
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Any takes involving someone being "due" are purely speculative. Aguero's norm atm is scoring one goal and being subbed after an hour.

        1. HurriKane
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          if you watch closely he gets plenty of chances even in 60 mins

          he wont continue missing them. some big hauls on the way

    4. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Could be huge haul, good luck

    5. Pras (FPL)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Nice!

      Need to do something to gain on the leaders.. Kun to punish though I feel

    7. Dynamic Duos

      Sterling(c) good luck AZ

  22. ‘Tis the Season

    no liv team news ANYWHERE!

  23. R.C
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Lukaku plays better on the right flank tbh

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Agreed

    2. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years

      Robeeto Martinez masterclass, I tell ya.

      1. ‘Tis the Season
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        it was Henry's advice i reckon before he left..

    3. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Agreed

  24. Sandy Ravage

    Sterling > Salah for a hit next week?

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah, do it now to avoid price changes.

      1. Zilla
        • 6 Years

        Will lose money this way 😉

    2. Respect My Authoritah

      My current plan (for free)

  25. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    OoP team:

    Fabianski Hamer
    Alonso Mendy Doherty AWB Pereira
    Salah Martial Hazard Richarlison Brooks
    Aguero Arnautovic Success

    Looks pretty good to me!

    1. Zilla
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Needs more ROOPs, get Zaha and Rashford.

  26. The Train Driver
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Is Stanislas ahead of Wilson for pens?

    1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Don’t think so. Daniels was on the pitch last week when Wilson took it. I think they’re playing the confidence game with Wilson, rightly so.

    2. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      the form wilson is in i cant see him giving up pens to anyonelse

    3. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Yep, Wilson is poor at pens

  27. suddenorgan
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Brooks taking the Josh King role basically?

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years

        look forward to him repeatedly setting up Wilson only for him to miss

      Looks that way. Howe probably wanted to integrate Stanislas in, but felt harsh on Brooks. King has been underperforming, so makes sense.

    I captained Salah this week. He's scored in the last two games vs Arsenal. Up against Xhaka at LB.

      He has played through the centre in the last 2 games, not wide.
      But still a nice captain choice.
