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
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months 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
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

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

      2. camarozz
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

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

        1. Fantasy Gold
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          Here he is, Scotty B’s understudy

    2. Fantasy Gold
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Thanks for the update.

    3. Snooze ya lose

      Well done

      1. Ginola14
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 8 months 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
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          Mahrez could be a good differential captain, good luck!

    4. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      had higher expectations from a tiger

      1. tiger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        lower your preys expectations....then strike!

  2. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Wilson to Arnie. Yes or not yes.

    1. MTPockets
      7 years, 8 months ago

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

    2. Cookie Kid
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

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

    3. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Not for me

    4. Joga Bonito®
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

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

    5. Udo
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      On a FT why not.

    6. meclive
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Definitely. Wilson’s fixtures are terrible.

    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
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      A

    2. BeDreamin
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months 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

    Captain?

    Mo
    Mendy
    Alonso
    Arnie

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Arnie

    2. Ask Yourself

      Mo

      1. Ask Yourself

        Moo*

    3. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Mendy

    4. Riders of Yohan
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

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

    5. The class of 92
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Mo

    6. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Mendy or Arnie.

    7. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Mendy

  14. The class of 92
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Who to bench?

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

    Any help would be appreciated 🙂

    1. CLASS OF 78
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 8 months 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
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks. Yeah it certainly is tight

        1. CLASS OF 78
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

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

  15. CLASS OF 78
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Bench Mitro, Wilson, or Fraser?

    1. The class of 92
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Fraser, the other two are on penalties

    2. Ha.

      1. CLASS OF 78
        • 7 Years

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

  18. *sigh*

  21. Fantasy Gold
    • 12 Years

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

    Bizarre

    1. Podge
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

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

      1. Fantasy Gold
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

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

    2. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Agree

    3. fclackless [Brazil Nuts]
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

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

    4. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

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

    5. Sgt Frank Drebin
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

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

    6. tisza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months 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
    7 years, 8 months ago

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

    1. Podge
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      No, good move

      1. TAT
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

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

    2. *sigh*
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

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

      1. TAT
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

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

      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
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months 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?

    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...
