    Mates, if Greenwood starts, would you prefer to start him or King?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Him

      1. EgyptianKing
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks

    2. Rainer

      10 minutes of Greenwood > King

      1. EgyptianKing
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Ahah. He should get some gametime. But are you hopeful Greenwood can deliver?

        1. Rainer
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          I hope not.

          But if he’s starting I’d pick him over King all day.

        2. FOO FIGHTER
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          King will start. Greenwood may not.

    3. Klaren
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      It's very unlikely that you'll know whether he is starting or not so playing King is safer.

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        This this and this

      2. Amsterhammer
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        This is good advice. King on pens too.

    4. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Noone wants Rashford, but will start Greenwood

  2. dezille
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    A few options that I need some advice on please. Cheers

    A) Perez, Jota > Mount, Haller (-4) - means Martial will be left and assume he will be back for GW5 after the break. Perez would have to go tonight due to the drop.
    B) Martial, Perez > KDB, Cantwell (-4) - GW5 transfer would likely be Jota > Barnes.

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Prefer B

  3. Eytexi
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Start two:
    A) Lundstram.
    B) Dendoncker.
    C) Wood.
    D) Greenwood.

    Currently on C & D.

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Agree with you

  4. Dannyb
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Martial to mount for -8 or just play dendoncker/Montoya or Lundstram?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Dendoncker

    2. Klaren
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      If Martial is out long term, get Mount, if not play Lundstram. Montoya might end up 0 points anyway and Dendoncker might not start again as he started tonight's game.

    3. n-doggg
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Mount not an injury risk?

    4. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      It’s only a -4.

      1. EMBOLOFAN
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        only

  5. n-doggg

    FPL DRAFT!

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Pereira as he has Man Utd and Spurs in upcoming fixtures

      1. willevete
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        But. If you need to pick one to remove this upcoming gw? Would it be the same?

  7. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Moura, keep or sell for free?

    1. Lecky Legs FC
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Keep unlucky my to score last GW and can make impacts of the bench

      1. Lecky Legs FC
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Unlucky not to & impact*

      2. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Mount or Lanzini not better for free?

  8. Punter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Is this a bit too maverick..? WC team

    Heaton - Stek
    Digne - TAA - Robbo - Zinch (Lund)
    Mane - KDB - Lanzini - Mount (Cantwell)
    Pukki - Kun (Nketiah)

    0.2 itb

    Crazy to go without Mo and Raz?

    1. Valar(Keith)
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Considering ppl are WCing to get them in I'd say yes

      1. Rinseboy
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        hows the wildcard team looking mate?

        I cant decide whether to go Barnes or Zinchenko and a better 4th defender?!

        1. Valar(Keith)
          • 17 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Similar position. Just have a Kelly + Haller Or Zinchenko + Wesley debate to decide. Im slowly beginning to think Zinchenko is a trap though. Good punt if you have a WC handy but we won't have one after tmrw.

          1. Rinseboy
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            yeah my current draft is
            Pope Button
            TAA Digne Kelly Lunds Soyuncu
            Salah Sterling KDB Mount Cantwell
            Haller Pukki Barnes.

            Not entirely who gets benched this week from that!

  9. No Professionals
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    A) KDB and haller
    B) Aguero and McGinn

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      KDB Haller

    2. Root
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      A by a fair margin.

    3. Lecky Legs FC
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      B

  10. Klopp it
    • 9 Years

    Hi everyone, looking some advice hows this wildcard look?

    Pickford
    Mings, digne, Azpilicueta
    Salah, maddison, sterling, kdb, cantwell
    Haller, barnes

    Bench, button, lundstram, pieters, greenwood

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      No Pukki party on WC? Not fancy the defence myself sorry

  11. THFC4LIFE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    My 7 year old son is playing FPL for the first time this season, he’s accidentally activated his wildcard and cut a long story short to cheer him up I’ve activated mine lol.

    What do you think?

    Pope Button
    TAA Digne Zinchenko Mings Lundstram
    Salah Sterling KDB Mount Cantwell
    Haller Pukki Greenwood

    1. rozzo

      Copy/paste

    2. Party time

      I don't believe ya story

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

        Ok

    3. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      How do you ‘accidentally’ activate a Wildcard?

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

        That’s exactly what I said to him, he didn’t know what is was apparently....

        1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          kids do crazy/funny things but of course it can be upsetting when he realised. Nice to see you activated with him though.

      2. SADIO SANÉ
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        he's 7 ffs

    4. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Nice

    5. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I'd say it's a good team. Of course zinchenko may not last much longer but you can switch him out when/if that happens

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

        Ye have a plan for an upgrade to Laporte when the time comes. Cheers for the reply

    6. MTPockets
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah looks fine - pretty template

    7. Hits from the Bong
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Can’t you just press it again and inactivate it?

  12. rozzo
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Not a brag post but mount and martial were my surprise tips to do well this season.

    Its easy chasing last weeks points but getting in a player just before he hits form is always great.

    Whos your surprise tips for the next few weeks?

    I'm going for Harry Wilson, i know he scored last week and i wont be getting him this week but just got a feeling about him, he likes a shot.

    1. BIind Moth
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Not really a surprise because he's class... but I think Auba is gonna smash up the template in coming weeks.

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I like the look of Anderson for the next few gameweeks. Norwich at home next who have already conceded 8 goals and then Villa after that. He is on my watchlist for sure.

    3. Jordan.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      zaha as soon as hes settled down,completely off the radar atm ,certain bandwagon soon,timing will be worth a nice few points if you get it right...

    4. EMBOLOFAN
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      hardly surprise tips

  13. ‘Tis the Season
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Ceballos, mount or Cathcart?

    1. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Mount

  14. sully29
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    I've seen a few people talking about a GW8 wildcard. Any particular reason why? Is it just because Liverpool's fixtures take a turn around then?

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Will you be able to fit in the players you want with price rises only playing your WC by GW8?

      We have already seen what is happening with Pukki.

      1. sully29
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        By GW8 I will almost certainly want entirely different players than I want now anyway. Aside from that, mine team is already pretty okay so my team value is fine.

        I'm more trying to figure out how big a block of fixtures to now look at for transfers. If I know there's a fixture swing in GW8 then that's a natural target.

        1. FOO FIGHTER
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Sure things can change but unless you do not have Sterling, Salah and KDB plus a decent defence by now then you are most likely to play your WC after IB cause that is where the points are. The ones who got rid of Salah are now taking hits on players to get him back in.

          If you played your WC already and have Sterling, Salah and KDB plus a decent defence and 3 forwards who can make up for Aguero hauls then you have no fires yet. Should you need to fix your defence having Aguero up top eating away at your defence, you need to get rid of Aguero. Then you need a replacement for Aguero when there is no money in the front 3 as fixing your defence cost money.

          ITB over, I have no WC but points spread around my team with 2 FT's should I need to use them.

          I played my WC as GW3 has pretty much paved the way that and to avoid price rises and to have less fires to put out once the IB is done. Well hopefully. No point in thinking about injuries over the IB when the players you do not have and want could get an injury.

          Defence and Midfield is where the points are at. Your forwards will either rescue your GW or let you down. I would rather have 3 forwards than depending on one.

      2. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        This.
        I'm considering WC with Martial out and these flippin price rises are killing me.

    2. Werkself
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      International break I think.

    3. Pranav Santhosh
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Liverpool fixtures take a turn for the worse and arsenal and Chelsea fixtures clear up

    4. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks guys, exactly what I needed to know.

    5. Cok3y5murf
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Sold Salah during a similar fixture turn last season and he went nuts.

  15. jordanconstant10
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Dendoncker, Greenwood or Lundstram for Martial?

    1. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Donk.

    2. Bleh
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Green’d

    3. FOO FIGHTER
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Lundstram. He has shown way much more than Dendo and Greenwood combined.

  16. Ludde
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts of my WC?
    Pope Button
    TAA Laporte WanB Lowton Lundstram
    Salah Sterling KDB Mount Cantwell
    Pukki Barnes Greenwood

    1. Bleh
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I like it.

      1. Ludde
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Like it too. Had this team before
        Pope Heaton
        WanB TAA VVD Montoya Lundstram
        Salah Sterling Ceballos Martial Dendoncker
        Jota Rashford Wickham

  17. Bleh
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Heaton (Button)
    VVD Robbo AWB Digne (Kelly)
    Salah Sterling Martial McGinn (Hayden)
    King Pukki (Greenwood)

    Martial to KDB, then King to Barnes after Burnley vs Liverpool? Yay or nay?

    1. Bleh
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Forgot to add 1 FT, 2.7 ITB. Wildcard available.

  19. KagKagKag
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Cant work out if I should go for a premium forward in my wild card team or not. My options are -

    1. Haller + Barnes + Zinc
    2. Greenwood + Auba + Mings

    If going to the premium forward route, I have another question on going for
    a. Aguero + Mane
    b. Auba + Salah

    1. Bleh
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      1 more balanced IMO.

  20. MarcusAurelius
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    What the latest with Mount injury?

  21. Nomar
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone else thinking Barnes will stop scoring if you get him in this weekend?

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah that’s how I think.

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      😉 got Wood here and he may be firing, prob GW5 onwards

    3. Cok3y5murf
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      That and that Wood is going to start scoring instead

    4. el polako
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Need to check Adrian's team, if he have Barnes then he might be even captain material.

      #assisttoIngs

    5. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Against Pool? Yes, very likely. Considering Rashford over him on WC

    6. EMBOLOFAN
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      for 1 week thats likely yeah

  22. JurgenRodgers
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Which option please
    WC used

    (A) Martial - Mount FT

    (B) Martial/Kane KDB/Haller -4

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      A, I would play Kane on derby if I had him

    3. as33
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      A

  23. as33
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    RMT on WC
    Pope
    Emerson, Pieters, Lundstram
    Salah, Sterling, KDB, Dilva
    Haller, Rashi, Barnes

    1. as33
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Could do Emerson>TAA and Dilva> Mount

      1. Not again Shirley
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Emerson better this week though so good shout on WC

    2. Werkself
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Bold n Brassy

  24. Yank Revolution
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    -8 pt hit here

    KDB, Mount, Haller in
    Martial, Dendoncker, Kane out

    Thoughts and feelings?

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      i'd be tempted

    2. MTPockets
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I'll probably take -4 to have the same 3

      1. Yank Revolution
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks fellows. Also, my top 2 subs for Martial would be Dendonck (risk to start) and Montoya (vs Man City)

    3. EMBOLOFAN
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      dendo to mount not worth -4

      1. Yank Revolution
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        It's all part of a plan though....and I dont have a good sub for Martial (Dendo is my first sub and likely wont play this weekend, Montoya my second sub, Hanley my third). So, the minus 8 will be mitigated by having a good player like Mount stepping in for him immediately.

        1. EMBOLOFAN
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          dendo likely will play this weekend

          1. EMBOLOFAN
            • 8 Years

            dendo +2 outperforms mount most of the time, hes not likely a 6ppm+ player

              +4

            He played EL last week and didnt start on weekend. Why would he this time?

      Kane is just really annoying. Own him now after last weeks failed WC and now may bee to lose for further 4 points costs. He may do well against arsenal though so may give him little longer. Then again, Kun swap could also be good plan with his fixtures.

        I think its time to move on from Kane and Spurs assets until they get their act together.

    Is this crazy?

    Martial + Bilva + Jota (-8) > KDB + Mount + Wesley

    Thanks guys

      Maybe swap Mount and Wesley to Cantwell and Haller?

        Already have Pukki so wary about double Norwich. Just worried about the - 8.

    I have Rashford + AWB already so should I get rid of Martial using my FT or just play Lundstram this week?

      I have a similar question below. Think Martial to Mount if the latter is confirmed fit

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Already have Mount...

    A) Martial and Greenwood to Cantwell and Haller
    Or
    B) Martial to Mount on ft
    Or
    C) bench Martial and play Dendoncker

    1. Hog Roast Junkie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      -8 for A

    Got Son and the injured Martial. Would you do the following for a -4?

    Son, Martial & Rash -> Salah, Mount & Haller

    ?
