    Why did Diogo Jota get taken off after 46minutes? Injury?

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      He was hungry

      Tactical

        Seriously ??
        Many people were saying injured 😮

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

          Don’t think he’s injured. Nuno experimented with the line up and saved key players for the FA cup

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            Nice. Selling him anyway for Leister Midfielder. But now no need to do it earlier then deadline.

            Cheers mate

    Blank gw forward? Already have Barnes.
    A. King
    B. Vardy
    C. Rondon
    D. Higuain
    E. Someone else

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years

      A or b

    2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      B and d

    3. Sting in the Tail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Depends on your midfield. I think you need some Leicester and Chelsea coverage.

      1. Gudjohnsen
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Got Hazard and no Leicester players.

    4. acidicleo
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      A > B > C based on fixtures

      1. acidicleo
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Sorry D instead of C

  3. Amey
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    If Wilson declared fit for next gw who would you pick out of

    A. King
    B. Wilson

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      A

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Thank you
        Leaning towards him too
        Less injury prone + pens

        1. LewanGOALski
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          You sure he’s on pens with Wilson on the pitch?

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            Yep
            I've seen live matches ( on TV of course 😛 ) when he took them when Wilson is on the pitch.

            1. Eddie
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 2 months ago

              That have shared in past. Depends who wins them.

    2. kime67
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      im going king. just because i dont need more injury prone players in my squad

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Yep
        Good reason.

    3. acidicleo
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      A
      Would u do jimi to king this week?

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Yes

        1. acidicleo
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Cheers

    4. Balls of Steel
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I'm considering Wilson as a differential. Not gone on King, looking at his stats over the last 10 fixtures he has only returned in 3!

  4. FlockofSeagulls
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    What's everyone hoping for from today's games?

    For me I'd like Higuain to score 4 goals and my wife give me a foot rub whilst he does it. 🙂

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Higuain brace
      Hazard & Salah blank

    2. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Wow. That's asking a lot.

    3. Dave Bauer
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Everton win 1-0 with an unassisted Robertson own goal.

      Chelsea win 1-0, Luiz goal. Hazard missed pen and then sent off.

      Leicester win 1-0, Pereira. Deulofeu sent off.

      So all very likely 🙂

      And a foot rub from your wife. Ha

      1. FlockofSeagulls
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Can you be more specific please? 😆

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

        And my wife did ask about you actually so come round. Be warned I like to watch though. 🙂

        1. Dave Bauer
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          I only like it when they watch so I’m alright with that 😀

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

      I’d like TAA to get 3 assists and me to find a wife

      1. FlockofSeagulls
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        You can rent mine for the right price. Let me know.

    5. kime67
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      deeney brace

    6. Joss Ackland’s Spunky…
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      For all matches to be called off

    7. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Clean sheets/goals/assists/bonus points from;

      Periera
      TAA
      Hazard (c)
      Mane
      Salah
      Higuain
      Vardy

    8. Sting in the Tail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      One of Periera, Maddison and Robertson not play so Rice comes in from bench.
      Salah to run riot.
      Hazard to blank

    9. Carlton_Goal
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      One of Salah, Robbo, David Luiz or Pedro not showing up to get Rice's points off the bench

    10. Balls of Steel
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Higuain and Hazard goal fest if you please would do nicely

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

    Had no gk this week (Guaita and Button) so getting a blank playing keeper and a budget mid for the same purpose.
    Best pair?
    A. Fabianski and H.Barnes
    B. Fabianski and Brooks
    C. Boruc and Fraser
    D. Heaton and Brooks
    E. Other combination up to 10.2

    Asked once yesterday and B came top.

    1. LewanGOALski
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Yup, B 🙂

    2. Saint Steve-O (@EliteFPL)
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      My immediate thought was B

  6. kime67
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    these tight scheduled gameweeks are always bad.

  7. fc_skrald
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Two free transfer and building on my gw31 team, think I should only use the one transfer this round:

    a. Rashford -> King
    b. Rashford -> Arnautovic

    Boruc
    Robertson, Diop, Pereira
    Pogba, Salah, Son, Mane, Hazard
    Rashford, Jimenez

    Foster, Doherty, Bednarek, Kamara
    0.1 million, chips and wildcard in the bank

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Arnie avoid him he’s too injury prone.

      1. fc_skrald
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Yes, think I will go with King. And then maybe Son -> Anderson/Snodgrass next round

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

      Get King. Arnie struggling to break into the starting 11 at the moment

  8. Kno
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Lacazette -》Vardy, higuain or a third hidden option? Maybe a King

    My 31 team is shaping up nicely but I definitely need a striker to go with my boy Barnes

    1. kime67
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      king because i like bmouth home games in 31 and 33

  9. fiveyears
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Quite pleased to see we'll pretty much know the Watford - Palace FA Cup result before the GW31 deadline

    1. XABI 15
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      been trying to work out why this helps. Neither team plays in 31?

      1. GREEN IS GOOD
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        It effects gw33

    2. GREEN IS GOOD
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Aha thanks didn't realise that

    3. Joss Ackland’s Spunky…
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      It makes some sense if FH 32 and saving transfers without a wildcard for 34.

      1. Joss Ackland’s Spunky…
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Which is me unfortunately...would consider a FT on a Watford player if they lost in prep for 33 v Fulham.

    4. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      If it is 3-0 or something at the time maybe

    5. Captain Kakaroto (I blame R…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      When we will know this? What day the game?

      1. GREEN IS GOOD
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        FA cup game is 1215 on Saturday 16th March.

        So if no extra time, would finish at appx.. 2.05pm.

        FPL deadline is 2pm.

  10. LewanGOALski
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    This will be painful 2 hours with no CHE assets in my team...
    Especially with chasing rivals’ captains in Higuain and Haz

    1. kime67
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      hopefully parker can pull a rabbit from the hat

    2. XABI 15
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      going to game as a Fulham fan but have bought Hazard in this week. My loyalty has cost me Auba and Pogba hauls this season

  11. hjalmarekdal
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Currently on this squad:
    Foster
    VanDijk Lindelof Diop Pereira
    Salah Mane Son Fanderson
    Aguero Jimenez

    Button; Barnes Bennett Ward

    Doing Foster Jimenez --> Boruc King/Wilson this week (-4).
    Leaves me with 9 players playing BGW31.

    Thinking of doing Aguero Son --> Hazard Higuain next week, which would leave me with 11 players in BGW31. Is it worth another to do Bennett --> Azpi also, and then put Pereira on the bench? Feels weird to put a playing player in BGW31 on the bench, especially a defender playing Burnley...

    1. GREEN IS GOOD
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      What's wrong with Perreira?

  12. Homer21
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    You see I was clever enough to buy Ward Prowse for the last two matches but not clever enough to actually start him in either GW!! D'oh!

    1. Carlton_Goal
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I am the same with Rice this week

  13. Dele
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Why all the rush for King? Bournemouth have been awful for weeks.

    1. Dannyb
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Had tough games to be fair

      1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Fair

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Fixtures turning.

    3. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Agreed

    4. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      He plays huddersfeild next gw and has gw31 fixture

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

      Fixtures and bgw 31/33

    6. YEAH PITCH!
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      He's a home fixture King.

  14. Monkeyfist
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    I can’t find this answered for definite anywhere, can anyone confirm?

    If you carry 2FT’s into a gameweek then use your Free Hit chip, how many FT’s do you take into the following week? 1 or 2?

    My head says 2 as you haven’t used them but have a nasty feeling it’s 1.

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      1 ft next gw with your original team

      1. Monkeyfist
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers!

    2. GREEN IS GOOD
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Just 1 unfortunately. And fh wipes out any changes you make with the ft you use the same week as the fh.

      1. Monkeyfist
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        So no point carrying transfers at all into a free hit week. Ta.

  15. HurriKane
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Whos on pens for Leicester?

    Maddison or Vardy

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      vardy

      1. HurriKane
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Vardy took ball off maddison and missed it last time.

        Think maddison will take next one

    2. MTPockets
        5 years, 2 months ago

        vardy

      • THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Vardy

      • It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 10 Years

        Party

    3. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      With only 3 players today, Vardy Robbo Salah I’m expecting a huge red arrow, currently have 29 points.

      Who you all got today and what’s your current score?

      1. Carlton_Goal
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        36 points so far. Salah, Robbo, Luiz and Pedro left. Hoping for a no show from one of them as have Rice first on bench

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

        20 with Salah, Mane, TAA, Higuain, Periera to play.

      3. MTPockets
          5 years, 2 months ago

          20 + Hazard(c) Salah Mane TAA Barnes Luiz

        • Amey
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          29(-4) with Salah,Mane, Robbo, Pereira, Higuain

        • striiiker
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          43 points so far, mainly thanks to Jimenez captain. Got TAA, Mane, Salah and Mitrovic to play, hoping for a couple of goals from the latter today (highly unlikely I know!)

        • Annie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          17 (after hits, what's the point of saying 21 (-4)) Salah, Vardy, Higuain, Chilwell, Robbo and Pickford

        • No Salah
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          29 with Alisson, Robertson, TAA, Hazard, Vardy and Higuain to play.

      4. Tcheco
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Choose 1:

        A. Fraser
        B. Brooks

        1. FlashG
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          B

        2. HurriKane
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Brooks involved in 10 goals in his last 16 starts prior to injury (6g 4a)

          Definitely the value option

        3. Tcheco
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Brooks it is then. Cheers

        4. ritzyd
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          A for me

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

          Close call.
          Will monitor this weekend.

      5. FlashG
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Salari mentioned possible rotation of players for today due to fatigue! Think Higuain was included in that? Surely Hazard won’t be due to coming off early against Spurs!

        1. Annie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Higuain came off too and didn't play in the prior match at all.

          1. FlashG
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            Didn’t know that he came off early - cheers

        2. Gudjohnsen
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Would be madness.

      6. Louis Van Gaalstones
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Felipe Anderson is stealing a living in my team, but his fixtures are so good I can't find a reason to get rid of him

        1. Gudjohnsen
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          This.

        2. Balotellitubbies
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Doing nothing whatsoever is reason enough...

        3. HurriKane
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Better get rid. He's having richarlison syndrome.

          Gone completely off the boil in second half of the season

        4. Carlton_Goal
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          He keeps playing well too, just no fpl returns to go with it

          1. Kiwivillan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years

            He's not playing well stats wise. 8 shots last 9 games 1 only on target. He's not playing well by comments on here either

            • 6 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            Fpl-wise, yes. He’s playing well though & will return some points over the next 2 GWs hopefully

        1. Mysterion
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

        5 years, 2 months ago

        No love for Fraser anymore?

        Got some great fixtures coming up.

        1. HurriKane
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Not in the best of form. Id rather get brooks

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

          I will be getting him in for 31

        3. Shteve
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          I've stuck by him, confident he'll come good now that his fixtures have turned plus he has GW31

        4. acidicleo
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Fraser or Brooks dilemma here too..
          Can afford either...

      9. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        It’s amazing having a 13.5M differential in your ML and you’re not even excited about it as you know he’ll just blank again.

        If it wasn’t for all these BGWs...

        1. Gudjohnsen
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Can see him score one today.

        2. Greenbackbøøg…
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          GW31 CANT COME SOON ENOUGH

        3. ritzyd
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Hopefully he does well today

        If cash wasn't an object, who would you pick for GW30/31/33:
        A) Vardy (FUL, bur, hud)
        B) King (hud, NEW, BUR)

        1. HurriKane
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          B

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

          A

        3. Shteve
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Close call, maybe king cause he has two home games but not much in it

        4. acidicleo
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          B.
          I am getting him. Plus also considering vardy or hig as well.

      11. ritzyd
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        For 30, 31 & 33 Would you prefer:

        A: van dijk (double pool defence)
        B: mane (double pool attack)

        Robertson & salah the other two

        1. Eddie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Probably Mane. Both good picks.

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

          B

        How come no kola this week?

        Is he a rotation risk now?

      13. Shteve
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Can anyone explain/send a link to how price rises /falls work when your on FH, for both the players you bring in and the ones you revert to at the end of the week?

        1. MTPockets

            "After playing your Free Hit chip, at the next deadline your bank balance and squad is restored to as they were at the previous deadline, with any player price changes in the previous gameweek reflected.

            Any change to your bank balance whilst the Free Hit chip was active will be lost."

              • 14 Years
              5 years, 2 months ago

              Ah OK, so my take from that is that my squad value will basically be the same as if I didn't FH..
              Thanks for that.

              1. Gentle_Turks
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member

                5 years, 2 months ago

                No. Your squad value can rise or fall, depending on whatever price changes happen while you are the free hit. But any changes to your bank balance that happen because of the free hit will be lost and your bank balance will revert to whatever it was before the free hit.

                1. Shteve
                  • 14 Years
                  5 years, 2 months ago

                  Yeah, that's what I meant, I didn't explain myself properly!
                  Thanks for explaining though.

              • 10 Years
