FPL Breakfast Club – Back from the Break

Fantasy Premier League Breakfast Club is finally back after the latest international break.

But fear not, that rude interuption of FPL was the last one of the calendar year so thus begins the run-in towards Christmas.

Joe, David and Az will be on the show today, which starts at 11:15am, discussing their plans for Gameweek 13.

The three of them have all made some big changes since their squads were last in action and one of them is still contemplating a further transfer hit…

The deadline is 2pm today so we won’t be able to bring you any team news, but that does mean we can bring slightly more analysis over the last minute decisions.

You can watch the show on our YouTube channel or in the embedded video below…

    Captaining Martial over Salah/Kun/Richarlison 🙂

    1. Ghost Gooner
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Brave that

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Bold. Good luck!

      I want Martial to well despite captaining Kun.

    3. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Enjoy his 1 shot

    4. R3D-D3V1L
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I'm doing that. Captain Martial to rake in points tonight!

  2. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Fabs
    Laporte Robbo Alonso Doherty Duffy
    Salah Hazard Richarlison
    Kun (c) Jimenez
    Button - Arnie - Kenedy - Obiang

    Think I'm okay. Leave it, or alter starters and benchers?

  3. SuperMane Returns
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Surely Arnie is good enough to score at least 1 v Citeh?

    1. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah I would think so. Stones and Laporte are hardly physical defenders. Arnie could trouble them.

      1. Pieterke30
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        They’re no pushovers either. Especially Laporte. Maybe Otamendi will start btw

        1. goriuanx
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          They're really good but they're not the rough type, if that makes sense.

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Thats what I thought against Huddersfield.

  4. chrispaterson1
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Any love for Hazard captain? 5 goals and 3 assists in 12 apps vs Spurs and on Pens with a most likely rest midweek. Thought??

    1. Delph & Safety
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Yep.

      Great record against them
      Spurs have a must win game midweek
      Defensive injuries
      London derby
      Any return can result in bonus

  5. goriuanx
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Captains?

    Salah here, will switch to Sterling if there's news he starts

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Doherty.

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Ballsy, good luck horsey.

      2. iCon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Pronounced Do(c)erty?

    2. UnitedFan
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Still struggling between Salah and Aguero. Been leaning towards Salah.

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        I think City probably score more than Pool today.

        1. UnitedFan
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          So do I.

    3. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Rich

    4. QuintonFortune25
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Currently on Salah. I'm top of my mini-league and everyone has Aguero (and will likely captain) but no one has Salah! But genuinely think Salah is the better captain pick so risking it. Good luck

    5. el polako
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Sterling

    6. Tmel
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Is Sterling a doubt? My armband is currently on him

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Nah, just way of City rotation

    7. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Ricky .

    8. delux
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Was on Aguero but thinking Richalrison is better option. So far had no captain fails.

      1. Teomi
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Aguero will most likely play about 60 mins today... the face Lyon on tuesday and with a win they will already been winning that group.. so im leaning towards rich atm

  6. Bielsa's Bucket
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    What are Joe, David, Az FPL ranks?

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Mods league: https://fantasy.premierleague.com/a/leagues/standings/29077/classic

      Probably all in there.

      1. Bielsa's Bucket
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers

  7. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Bench

    A) Arnie
    B) Arnold

    1. SuperMane Returns
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      C) Mr Schwarzennegar

    2. He shoots he scores
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I have the same dilemma. Have decided to play Arnie

  8. Jay Arell
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone think Bennett -> Doherty -4 is worth it long term?

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Maybe but I'd find a different way to get Doherty. Benny could easily have 2 cleanies coming up.

  9. chiragvirwani7
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Salah, Richar or Agu for Captain?

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Rich

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Aguero.

  10. Scheister
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Bench one.
    Digne
    Fraser
    Mitro

    1. Smitser
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Fraser

    2. fr3d
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Fraser

      1. Scheister
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Really? Isn’t Arsenal defense quite leaky, to put it nicely

  11. Atimis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Any Pool team news ?

    1. Marvin Moon
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      It doesn't happen any more.

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Not yet.

  12. Maddi Son
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    I knew I should've captained Salah. That's 7 goals in his last two games against Watford.

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      So do.

    2. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Still can

    3. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Still time

  13. Woy_is_back
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Playing Hart over Ryan. Wish me good luck 😀

    1. Rider on the Storm
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Hart is ok

  14. Scheister
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Patricio
    Alonso Robbo Doherty
    Salah Hazard Richarlison Fraser
    Kun Jimenez Mitro

    Button Trippier Camarasa AWB

    -4 for Trippier to Digne?
    Would fund Mitro to Arnie next week without a hit.
    Cheers

  15. EMERGING STAR
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    I am becoming a fan of Az...
    Just love his thoughts and explanations.

    1. Jay Arell
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Agree!

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Sorry to burst your bubble but he's taken.

      1. EMERGING STAR
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Ha ha. I will be happy just sitting and watching him

  16. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Remember last season when Danny Ward was at Liverpool and the team lineups were leaked early.

    1. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      and remember the biggest FFS hissy fit of all time.

  17. PaulParker
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    2FT but not sure I can get much value out of using them... would you use anywhere?

    Fabianski
    Robertson - Doh - Alonso
    Martial - Fraser - Salah - hazard
    Kun - Arnie - Ings

    Hamer - Bennett - obiang - Wan Bis

    1. Rider on the Storm
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Ings - rondon?

  18. Rider on the Storm
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Final move of my wc :
    A Fraser+doherty+paterson
    B martial+doherty+camarasa
    C martial+bennett+paterson

    1. Smitser
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      B

    2. RomeluAndJuliet
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      B

    3. Jay Arell
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      A or B, I prefer B

  19. Smitser
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Play arnie or r pereira?

  20. Ange Ball
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    My head says bring in sight for Minus go against the crowd and my rival for Minus 4 but my gut saying Rich 2 goals min today

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      What?

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Salah for Mane?

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      My head says "what the actual......?"

  21. Ginkapo FPL
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    From outside the fpl bubble, I fail to see the value in Digne

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Doesn't mean there isn't ant, just means you fail to see it.

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Yes, that is what I said.

        10/10 would let you repeat my comment again

    2. Bird Raymond
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I agree, having owned him since gw5. He doesn't deliver the attacking returns his stats promise. He's also an awkward price, better off with an AWB/Bennett etc and investing the change elsewhere, or spending a bit more for somebody better.

    3. el polako
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Might end up being another Cedric rather than another Baines.

      Doherty, Alonso, Robertson( AWB, Balbuena) - do it for me.

    4. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Another doomed bandwagon

    5. Rash
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Paterson to crush digne owners dreams.

  22. RomeluAndJuliet
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Captain Kun or Sterling?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Sterling.

    2. NWA
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I did sterling for a differential potential return

    3. Genji3lade
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Want to captain Sterling so bad but the Lyon game on Tuesday is freaking me out

  23. Ch3ckNorriZ
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    why laporte over stones?

    1. Teror
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Cause hes better and scores more points

    2. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      More nailed

    3. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      More nailed. As he is the only left footed CB at City and Pep likes a left footer in that slot

  24. Teror
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    May someone please tell me if I should captain Salah, Sterling or Hazard? Thank you.

    1. Marvin Moon
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Yes you should.

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      You should captain Sterling.

      1. Teror
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Why'd you say that, Rupert? Are you not concerned with Sterling's poor away record?

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          A touch, but he's in such good form now.

        2. Ch3ckNorriZ

    4. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      It's completely your call as all3 look good options this week.
      No one else's opinion counts.

      1. Teror
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        I don't really value my own opinion and am trying to gauge what other people think

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Wow.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years

          Hope you don't give advice to others then.

          1. Teror
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            I only give advice to people with a lower rank than me

  25. Marvin Moon
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    I'd love it if Ranieri started playing Kamara. He's been my third sub from the start.

    1. EMERGING STAR
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I have him too. Will be happy with the starts

  26. diesel001
    • 7 Years

    Do you think Cristiano Ronaldo is enjoying Real Madrid playing poorly without him?

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I don't reckon he gives a monkeys

  27. NWA
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Hi lads,

    Who should score more Siggy or Rich? and why?

    Thx

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I have sneaky feeling Siggy. He has more ways if getting points

  28. pundit of punts
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Patricio
    Alonso - TAA - Bennett
    Salah - STerling - Martial - Richarlison
    Aguero - Arnautovic - Jimenez

    Hamer - AWB - Schneiderlin - Trippier

    Going in with this lot. Good luck all. 🙂

  29. Weilong7
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    bernardo and awb to richarlison and bennett for -4 worth it?
    have kepa and luiz.. play both or bench one??

  30. Steviedwex
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    On WC - Gtg?
    Am I missing a trick of not having martial?

    Fab button ( is Steele or button Ryan best back up)?
    Alonso Laporte TAA Bennett AWB
    Hazard sterling Richarlison mane Gibbs-White
    Aguero Arnie Jiménez

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Martial is a bad idea
