Join us for the latest episode of Fantasy Premier League Breakfast Club ahead of the Gameweek 23 deadline today.

We will be live on air on our YouTube channel from 11:15am to discuss our plans for this weekend’s action.

On the show with regulars Joe and David today is former FPL champion Simon March, who won the competition in the 2014/15 season.

Top of the list this morning will be who the best replacements for the injured Harry Kane are, as well as what to do with Trent Alexander-Arnold, whose own fitness saga took another twist on Friday.

At 11:30am we’ll be able to bring you the team news from Wolves vs Leicester, as many Fantasy managers may be invested in a home win and/or clean sheet.

    Wan Beastaka incoming... 😎

    1. Mysterion
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Doherty incoming... from the bench 🙁

  2. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    I reckon Doherty will come on as well

    1. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I agree. Very very likely that he comes on.

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      if they are leading?

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Either way

    3. soup natsi
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Doesn’t make sense, helder costa, gibbs white, traore, cavaleiro all on the bench

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        He’ll come on mark my words!

  3. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Why does Doherty's partner having a baby means he should be on the bench????

    MAKES ZERO SENSE

    1. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Must just be knackered.

      1. Differentiator
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I think that no Boly means they need to be less attacking down that side

        1. Mysterion
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Boly plays on the left side though

    2. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Probably tactical with Boly out

    3. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      He might have been up all night with her or something.

      1. Differentiator
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        They get him back home. Don't want a jammy 1 pter

      2. DeadStarComing
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        That would have been around 9 months ago though.

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          I'l get your coat 😀

          1. DeadStarComing
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            😉

        2. Mysterion
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          If only he'd used a Jonny

      3. Phil's Stamps
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        This. Might have been a difficult birth, emotionally draining, a million reasons.

    4. Dacra
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Knackered?

    5. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      increased estrogen levels will make him bad at football

    6. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yep absolutely nuts, unless he was awake to the middle of the night

      1. good biashara
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        You guys haven't had a baby, have you?
        It's the most emotionally draining experience ever. And at the end of it you're incredibly tired even though you haven't actually done anything..

  4. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Not a single lol at doherty owners yet. Community has grown up

    1. Ode
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Because everyone owns him

    2. Tcheco
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Lol at grown ups

    3. The Train Driver
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Bwcause everyone has him

    4. BENOIT
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Cos everyone owns him

    5. Speédy
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      99% have him. That's why....

    6. Differential C (Mark)
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      We all have him, thats why

    7. mad_beer ✅
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I doubt that.

    8. Pieterke30
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Weird he is on the bench though.

      Would have thought not in the squad at all but bench is odd

      1. Rostah
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        It’s not like he’s injured. Pure speculation here but it could have been a late night labour or something meaning he’s had very little sleep. Mightn’t want to start him as he’s not rested, but fit to play should someone get injured and he’s needed.

      2. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Yes that’s what I thought

    9. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Got rid of Doherty on foolish WC last week, was worried he'd haul so relieved.

    10. jia you
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      just 5mins out of the sin bin but was tempted 😉

    11. sunzip14
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I will do that then. LOL @ Doherty owners 😛
      (p.s. do not look at my team or else everyone of you will lol at me too 😀 No Doherty though!)

    12. Whats the Huth
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Lol @ Doherty owners

  5. Sánchez
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Doherty cameo?

    1. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Likely.

      1. Pieterke30
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Brace incoming?

    2. soup natsi
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Absolute certainty says my crystal ball

  6. BENOIT
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Let's go Vardz! Destroy that makeshift defence...

  7. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Uh-oh... Doc better not come on for a 1 pointer

    1. drughi
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      he most likely is

    2. Pieterke30
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Will come in and score

  8. Boomerang V
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    So is Doherty just getting a rest or dropped?

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Rested following partner having a baby

      1. Boomerang V
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers

    2. Mysterion
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Rested following hard labour

  9. el polako
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Missing on points only beacasue Matt Doherty couldnt keep it in his pants...
    Or is it John Terry's ?

    1. Tcheco
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      hahaha

      1. Tcheco
        • 8 Years

  10. jia you
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

  11. Tcheco
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Doherty will come on & score. Relax.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years

    2. Earn your Spurs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      already scored it seems

      1. Hulk Smash
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        And still celebrating 9 months later

  12. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Wolves forum (Molineuxmix) are ITK tbf. Jonzy54 and JadeWolf have been good sources of information before the deadline on a number of occasions

    1. BENOIT
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Marry that woman

    2. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      what does ITK mean?

      1. the Penman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        In the Know. Someone with the inside scoop or knowledge.

      2. ClassiX
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        In The Know

  13. Marvin.
    • 9 Years

    Doherty

    1. Differential C (Mark)
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Dropherty

  14. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Unlucky doherty starters, lucky for me I had him benched. WHO KNEW !!!

  15. Goat
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Alonso first sub. Stay on bench Doherty

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Same

  16. Drexl Spivey
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Bednarek auto-sub then, which I'm surprisingly okay about.

    1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      If he doesn’t come on

    2. BENOIT
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Saints much improved tbf

  17. TAArt
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    On a wild card, last change I made was to take Doherty out for Danillo as a one or two week punt. Never been so pleased to see someone rested.

  18. Mo Mané Mo Problems
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    I’m not paying membership next season unless there is a “Pregnant Wife Due” area in this site. Prefably above the Tightrope.

    1. Differential C (Mark)
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Congratulations!

    2. DeadStarComing
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Joking aside. Personal issues do go unnoticed and should be touched on by a site like this. FPL certainly don't flag for anything like that and I wouldn't expect them to.

    3. The Darkest Knight
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      lool

  19. DamnedUnited
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Great now I've no game to watch until this evening 🙁

    1. BENOIT
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Eh?

      You can still watch matches without fantasy assets present.

      1. Tcheco
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        what?

      2. DamnedUnited
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        If I'm to watch a nill all stinker I'd rather have a defender playing in it

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Are you watching only because of FPL?!

    3. Drexl Spivey
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Pubs and Saturdays go quite well together.

  20. SM001
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Doherty benched. Good start to my Wildcard.

  21. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    The good news is that Cavaleiro, Costa, Gibbs-White, and Adam all often get subbed on in games so not a certainty that Doherty gets used at all

  22. LǝgleSs e|even
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    FPL towers should hire someone to round up updates on players WAGs and flag them as yellow when they have a baby! For gods sakes..

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      what is he doing on bench if he had a baby?

      1. BENOIT
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Probably just lacking sleep etc

      2. Sylas
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Resting.

    2. el polako
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Berahino would be permanently flagged.

  23. The Darkest Knight
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    come on my wild card team... go get those 150 points...!!!

    1. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      *15.0

    2. BENOIT
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I'll give you a quid if you get 150

      1. The Darkest Knight
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        don't underestimate my WC team... its pack of killer differentials like Matip, Alli, KDB

        1. Emiliano Sala
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Lol same

  24. -GK22-
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Kola first sub to come and and score vs Chelsea and down play the Doherty issue!

    1. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      And Doherty to come on in injury time

  25. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Doherty will come on, score a goal and dedicate it to his little one during the celebrations 🙂

    1. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Fairytales are limited to books and movies. But that would be peach innit

  26. tisza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Having held TAA quite happy with a Doherty 1 pointer as just realized it's AWB off the bench as 3rd sub at Liverpool - could be a minus. (Sent off in reverse fixture)

  27. Hulk Smash
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    If Doherty's wife just had a baby why is he on the bench? Surely if his lack of training and/or sleep rules him out of starting you'd just drop him completely. Confusing one for me but I'm not a dad so maybe someone else can explain it to me.

    1. soup natsi
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

    2. Richd
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Have you seen the film junior with Arnie ?

      1. Hulk Smash
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        No I wasn't aware Arnautovic moonlighted as an actor

        1. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah you did....that's why he will be back

  28. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Doherty against tired Leicester legs?

  29. Richd
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Literally can’t watch this game

    I started Doherty

    Benched Jiminez

    I don’t know if Doherty will come on. I don’t know if Jiminez will come on for TAA. I can’t root for anything.

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      TAA wont play

    2. Debauchy
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Same here, even worse Schmeichel in goal

  30. Yippeekiyay Mertersacker
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Who needs a strong bench anyway?

    Everyone, it turns out....

    1. Marvin.
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I've got no keeper playing this week.
