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.

    Captain Aguero this week, and no transfers made.

    1. BeDreamin
      8 years, 4 days ago

      I captained Aguero but only because I'm leading my mini league. I would have gone for Mendy otherwise

      1. tiger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 4 days ago

        I don't have Mendy yet, otherwise I would have been tempted by that too.

      2. camarozz
        8 years, 4 days ago

        A lot of smart arses on here. And I don't mean you.

        1. Fantasy Gold
          8 years, 4 days ago

          Here he is, Scotty B’s understudy

    2. Fantasy Gold
      8 years, 4 days ago

      Thanks for the update.

    3. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 4 days ago

      Well done

      1. Ginola14
        8 years, 4 days ago

        No aguero for me I'm going with Mahrez, as the uncertainty over haz means he's not an option and can't bring myself to captain a defender

        1. tiger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          8 years, 4 days ago

          Mahrez could be a good differential captain, good luck!

    4. Holmes
      8 years, 4 days ago

      had higher expectations from a tiger

      1. tiger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 4 days ago

        lower your preys expectations....then strike!

  2. DA Minnion (Former great)
    8 years, 4 days ago

    Wilson to Arnie. Yes or not yes.

    1. MTPockets
      8 years, 4 days ago

      no I'd wait a week or so to assess if Arnie will play full game

    2. Cookie Kid
      8 years, 4 days ago

      I’d stick if you have value in Wilson especially if for a hit

    3. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 4 days ago

      Not for me

    4. Joga Bonito®
      8 years, 4 days ago

      Wilson is on fire, I wouldn't be getting rid for anyone.

    5. Udo
      8 years, 4 days ago

      On a FT why not.

    6. meclive
      8 years, 4 days ago

      Definitely. Wilson’s fixtures are terrible.

  3. chelseabrad
    8 years, 4 days ago

    1FT 0.5 ITB

    Ederson (Hamer)
    Alonso Trippier TAA (Holebas AWB)
    Salah Maddison Richarlison Fraser (Stephens)
    Mitro Kane Arnie

    A) Kane > Aguero
    B) Mitro & Kane > Aguero & Success
    C) Trippier > Mendy

    1. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 4 days ago

      A

    2. BeDreamin
      8 years, 4 days ago

      I'm playing Holebas over Robertson

      I defo wouldn't do B
      I would be tempted to do A but it depends, if you're miles behind in your mini league and need to catch up I would stick with Kane. If you near the top I'd do A.

      I did C last week but I think they're pretty even, my concern is the number of matches Spurs need to play and the rotation risk.

      In balance unless your winning your mini league or very close to the top I would do C

  4. n-doggg

      1. Riders of Yohan
        8 years, 4 days ago

        Can’t afford straight swap?

    2. Ohh1454
      8 years, 4 days ago

      Would get rid of shaw .2 of Laporte maybe stones

      1. Riders of Yohan
        8 years, 4 days ago

        Can’t afford shaw to laport by 0.1

    3. toystory2wasok
      8 years, 4 days ago

      looks good. Save FT

      1. Riders of Yohan

      Save and move on

  13. RAFA THE GAFFA
    8 years, 4 days ago

    Captain?

    Mo
    Mendy
    Alonso
    Arnie

    1. Epic Fail
      8 years, 4 days ago

      Arnie

    2. Ask Yourself
      8 years, 4 days ago

      Mo

      1. Ask Yourself
        8 years, 4 days ago

        Moo*

    3. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 4 days ago

      Mendy

    4. Riders of Yohan
      8 years, 4 days ago

      Would rate the boldness of choosing arnie. From that selection would probably go Mendy to be honest

    5. The class of 92
      8 years, 4 days ago

      Mo

    6. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 4 days ago

      Mendy or Arnie.

    7. Make United Great Again
      8 years, 4 days ago

      Mendy

  14. The class of 92
    8 years, 4 days ago

    Who to bench?

    A) Yedlin (WAT)
    B) Robertson (ars)
    C) Doherty (TOT)

    Any help would be appreciated 🙂

    1. CLASS OF 78
      8 years, 4 days ago

      That's basically a coin toss, but I reckon Yedlin is less likely to get an attacking return or a cleanie. Doherty could possibly get either or both and Robertson will probably not get a cleanie but could easily get an assist while Bellerin gets lost up the field.

      1. The class of 92
        8 years, 4 days ago

        Thanks. Yeah it certainly is tight

        1. CLASS OF 78
          8 years, 4 days ago

          Course, for a coin toss you'd need one of those special 3 headed coins!

  15. CLASS OF 78
    8 years, 4 days ago

    Bench Mitro, Wilson, or Fraser?

    1. The class of 92
      8 years, 4 days ago

      Fraser, the other two are on penalties

    2. Ha.
      8 years, 4 days ago

    3. StayoutheSpiceZone
      8 years, 4 days ago

      One of the Bournemouth boys. Spread the love

      1. CLASS OF 78
        8 years, 4 days ago

        Thanks people, was feeling Fraser too. I think Mitro deserves just this one last game.

  16. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    8 years, 4 days ago

    GTG?

    Ryan
    Alonso | Mendy | TAA | Doherty
    Salah | Hazard (VC) | Mane | Kenedy
    Aguero (C) | Arnie

    Button | Success | AWB | Hojbjerg

    Thanks

    1. *sigh*
      8 years, 4 days ago

      vc Salah in case Kun is benched and Hazard is rested?

      1. Football Heaven
        8 years, 4 days ago

        Why would kun be benched?

        1. *sigh*
          8 years, 4 days ago

          Pep

        2. My heart goes Salalalalah

        Great point!! And will do thanks

  17. 4. Arsenal FC

    1. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Won’t play.
      Yep

      1. 4. Arsenal FC

        Thank you!

    2. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 4 days ago

      Yeah take him out I think. I will be getting him back once he returns, which he will

  18. *sigh*
    8 years, 4 days ago

    Captaining Kun.Would you chance vice captaining Hazard given both are open to rotation? VC on Mo at the mo.

    1. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      8 years, 4 days ago

      I’m on Mo.

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Keep on Mo

    3. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 4 days ago

      I'm trying to decide that too...currently vice is on Hazard, but thinking of going with Mo

  19. Weilong7
    8 years, 4 days ago

    bennett to kiko or dunk?

    Thanks!

  20. HD7
    8 years, 4 days ago

    Fab
    Mendy Robbo Alonso
    Salah Richa Maddy Hazard
    Aguero (C) Arnie Success

    Subs: Button, Kenedy, Duffy, WanB

  21. Fantasy Gold
    8 years, 4 days ago

    This Success bandwagon is one of the strangest FFS movements I’ve seen in a long time.

    Bizarre

    1. Podge
      8 years, 4 days ago

      Little to do with the player, just the price and what it lets you do elsewhere

      1. Fantasy Gold
        8 years, 4 days ago

        I’ve seen lots buying him for a hit and playing him

    2. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 4 days ago

      Agree

    3. fclackless [Brazil Nuts]
      8 years, 4 days ago

      Wouldn't have taken off if he'd been called 'Failure'.

    4. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 4 days ago

      I 100% agree, and its been going on all week ?? Troy Deeney back next week ??

    5. Sgt Frank Drebin
      8 years, 4 days ago

      I see more posts about this bandwagon than people actually saying they're getting him...

    6. tisza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 4 days ago

      it's a combination of factors - a playing (for now) striker at 4.5m against a bracket of popular sub-7m strikers that aren't performing; people wanting RAM; it seems to be a combination transfer rather than just Success in.
      Still pretty much an FFS bandwagon - only 78k transfers in across the whole of FPL.

  22. TAT
    8 years, 4 days ago

    About to do Maddison/S. Cook > Camarasa/Mendy. Are there better 4.5's?

    1. Podge
      8 years, 4 days ago

      No, good move

      1. TAT
        8 years, 4 days ago

        Have a feeling taking out Madders will backfire, but it's either him or Richarlison out to fund Mendy.

    2. *sigh*
      8 years, 4 days ago

      Nope.The only other is the West Ham guy but don’t think he’s nailed.

      1. TAT
        8 years, 4 days ago

        Yeah, thought about him but don't think that's the best move.

  23. barcaa7

    a-Play Kenedy

    Barkley on bench.

    A. Leave as is
    B. Robertson out vs ars
    C. Maddison out vs car
    D Richardson out vs BHA
    E Wilson out vs MUN

    1. Ha.

      Unpopular opinion, but B

    2. MTPockets

    3. Ohh1454
      8 years, 4 days ago

    4. meclive
      8 years, 4 days ago

      Wilson or Richardson out for me

    5. Joga Bonito®
      8 years, 4 days ago

      Cheers, tricky one. My head says Robertson but he's been so consistent that it's hard to drop him after he's just been rested.

  25. Pep Pig
    8 years, 4 days ago

    Does anyone think there is a chance Lukaku could still play today? I know he's been awful of late but This could be a Jose stunt with The recent Team leaks?

    1. FPLShaqiri
      8 years, 4 days ago

      Apparently he hasn't travelled:

      1. Pep Pig
        8 years, 4 days ago

        Aye mate he could still have travelled separately like rashford has in the past.

  26. FPLHaggis
    8 years, 4 days ago

    Knockaert & Mitro > Barkley & Wilson -4?

  27. meclive
    8 years, 4 days ago

    Guys would you go with A or B?

    A) mitrovic & shaw
    B) success & Mendy

    ??

    1. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 4 days ago

      B

  28. Lubic
    8 years, 4 days ago

    A) Laporte & Moura > Mendy & Pereyra
    B) Doherty & Moura > Mendy & Deulofeu/5.5

    2FT's. Really like the idea of having both Mendy and Laporte

    1. Kyle Norman
      8 years, 4 days ago

      B

  29. PepTalk
    8 years, 4 days ago

    Who to bench out of this lot?
    Wilson, Maddison, Rich, Mané or stick Haz on the bench? My other attackers are Kun, Barkley, Arnie so they're going nowhere... can't remember ever having such a tough call to make...

  30. internal error
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    8 years, 4 days ago

    Im probably wrong but I have a good feeling about Bournemouth today

    1. Ask Yourself
      8 years, 4 days ago

      Fraser haul

    2. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 4 days ago

      Totally agree

    3. Epic Fail
      8 years, 4 days ago

      They have an easy enough fixture.
