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.

    Maybe it's not his wife who's having a baby, maybe he himself is pregnant?

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years

      wtf

    2. Fpl Richie

  2. Ode

    7 years, 6 months ago

    Have Doherty, Snodgrass, TAA, Wilson fielded with Kenedy, Bednarek & AWB on the bench. If I get a green arrow this week it’s a miracle

  3. Epic Fail
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Any pics of Mrs Doherty to confirm if it was worth it?

      Lolz. He's a handsome man and a footballer... So I'm sure he's doing ok.

    3. Bouncebackability

      • 17 Years

      Like that one Epic!

    4. Tcheco
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Waiting 18 or so years to find out if the child is a decent human being is a better gauge of whether it was worth it in my opinion

      1. Defcons are for Kinnear
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        This kid is going places

      2. LǝgleSs e|even
        • 10 Years

        Dad spotted!

  4. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Replace The Tightrope with The Umbilical Cord?

    1. SPorting
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Cut it out.

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      That's a bit of a stretch.

    3. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      These puns are getting a bit ropey.

  5. Yippeekiyay Mertersacker
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    .....because predicting when babies get born is usually such an exact science....

    1. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Sometimes this game is just about stupid casual luck.

  6. SPorting
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Digne and Holebas waiting in the wings if TAA and Doherty are no-shows.

    1. Bruno Bruno!!
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I hAvE dIgNe AnD hOlEbAps On My StArTiNg Xi

      1. SPorting
        • 14 Years

        Good luck man

  7. Whats the Huth
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Go on Bennett. Grab that clean sheet!

    1. zdrojo187
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      This

  8. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    So here's the plan..
    Leicester go 2-0 up early. Tactical reshuffle. Doherty on after 25 mins, assists Jimenez and scores the equalizer later on.

    Acceptable?

    1. The 5% Team
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      as long as Pereira is on that scoresheet, deal.

    2. soup natsi
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      That’s exactly what’s gonna happen

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I would take that if offered right now!

    4. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Would be the first 25 minute tactical reshuffle in football history

  9. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    So Kolasinac first on bench if Doherty doesn’t come on. Not sure I will gain much!

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Same here. 1 point likely either way mate

  10. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    I suppose it was coming, Doherty needed a rest.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      It was the coming that cause it.

      1. Limbo
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Fnar

      2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Hahaha

      3. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Genius

  11. Defcons are for Kinnear
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Is Doherty pronounced Dokerty?

    1. SPorting
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Nope

      1. Defcons are for Kinnear
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        I'm sure I hear a little k sound

    2. Drexl Spivey
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Depends how many you've had.

    3. Mysterion

    5. TRIPOS TOPPER

      • 16 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Doh -err -tee is more like it, if you have him

    7. Pigeon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      No, only the Brits say it like that, have no clue why

      1. Pinturicchio10
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Correct. Never heard an Irish person say it the way some English people say it. Similar to the way they say Cahill, also way off the correct pronunciation.

    8. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Donkerty

  12. Bouncebackability
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Doherty will come on, no way they'll be more than one up.

    1. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      1. Bouncebackability
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 17 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Either way, its a tight game. He's coming on.

  13. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    Anyone else got no players with fixtures tomorrow?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Just you.

    2. Jambot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      no City or Spurs cover

  14. Sánchez
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Fate must be on my side this week.
    On my wildcard. Doherty was in beforehand and was never leaving. Defence was to be Alisson Shaw Doherty Digne all week with Pereira bench. For some reason, at 11:20 odds, I suddenly stopped tinkering with the attack and started looking at Pereira vs Doherty and decided to gamble on Pereira starting. Then decided Shaw bench, but then back to Doherty again. Eventually settled on Doherty benching at 11:29. A minute later, saw he was benched. This has to be my lucky gameweek. 😀

    1. Syd.
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I was enjoying a bacon sandwich

      1. Sánchez
        • 13 Years

        Mines is just in grill now

    2. Chris_H
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I did the opposite - was between him, Nasri and Deeney for the bench and eventually settled on Nasri 😎

      1. Sánchez
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        I have him on my bench

  17. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Madison on the bench....was not to long ago this and not Doherty would have caused scenes

  18. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    I think FFS going to need to add new stats report in members area for expected birth dates

  19. LǝgleSs e|even
    • 10 Years

    2. soup natsi

  22. ClassiX
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    So, strangely enough, so far this season I've ended up having a pretty good GW when one of my "nailed-onners" is benched in the first game, and quite a few times I've had pretty shite GW's when they've all started the first game of the week...hoping this trend continues, obviously, Mr Doherty (we don't pay you to score with the missus...) 🙂

  23. Eytexi
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Peltier first sub if Doherty no show: praying for Cardiff rotation haha. Otherwise it's AWB.

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      AWB will get you 0pts

      1. Eytexi
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Hence why he's 3rd sub.

  24. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    AWBaps off the bench 😎

  25. Boomerang V
    • 9 Years

    1. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 8 Years

    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    What's the reason for Maddison being benched, do we know?

    1. jia you
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      His second cousin gave birth recently.

      1. SPorting

    2. Guru Mediation
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      They've lost to Newport, Southampton and Cardiff in 3 of their last 4. No one is safe in that run of form

      Heads not in the right place - considering a move back to Norwich

  29. TRIPOS TOPPER
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        np

        next I will prove the Reimann hypothesis

    2. Guru Mediation
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      And if he comes on and scores a goal, those teams with him selected will get fpl points

  30. zdrojo187
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Doherty will come on for 29 minutes just to get yellow card

    1. Drexl Spivey
