    Who scores more gw38?

    A) Ings, Greenwood
    B) Aub, Pieters (-4)

    1. Villa Velour
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Tricky one. I'd say B but I love Ings.

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      A

    3. eamonhegg
      • 6 Years

      B

    4. LE CHARO
      • 4 Years

      A

    5. Captain Scarlet
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Like for like, I'd say. A more explosive, potentially.

  2. eamonhegg

    GTG?

    Martinez
    Walker / Pieters / Brandwaith
    Mane / Striling (C) / Fernadez / D Silva
    Kane / Auba / Ings

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years

      Not sure on the Branthwaite and Auba picks. BOU will be gunning it and Auba wrapped in cotton wool for the FA cup final

      1. LE CHARO
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        The final is 6 days after the game, plenty of time to recover and Auba needs to play to keep his rhythm

  3. FPL Theorist

    Time for some score predictions? Here are a few interesting fixtures:

    Leicester - Man Utd
    Newcastle - Liverpool
    Chelsea - Wolves
    Palace - Spurs
    Arsenal - Watford

    *Unpopular opinion*

    Greenwood is just as good of an option as Aubameyang this GW.

    Last 4 Matches:
    MINS PLAYED: Greenwood (300) Auba (301)
    GOALS: Greenwood (3) Auba (1)
    GOAL ATTEMPTS: Greenwood (6) Auba (7)
    SHOTS IN BOX: Greenwood (5) Auba (6)
    CHANCES CREATED:Greenwood (3) Auba (2)

    GOALS: Man Utd (12) Arsenal (4)
    xG: Man Utd (8.58) Arsenal (3.17)
    BIG CHANCES: Man Utd (14) Arsenal (6)

    I just can't get excited about Auba. He and Greenwood essentially play the same position, albeit Greenwood plays for the better team and is over 6.0 million less.

    Depending on tonight's performance, I'm still considering Greenwood in my FH team. It opens up a power midfield (Salah/Sterling/Silva/Martial/Mane) and keeps the defence strong (Robbo/Aurier/K Long).

    1. eamonhegg
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Auba going to burn you.

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

      But what if you aren’t going for aubameyang?

      He is a viable option Greenwood but not a great one - just an enabler

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        You’re only saying because of his price. If he was 7m then things would’ve have been different

      2. Le Bluff
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I like Kane as an option and have had him in a few FH drafts. But I've seen people trying to shoehorn Jesus+Kane+Auba into their FH drafts and it really unbalances the rest of the team.

        You're right though - Greenwood a great enabler for those wanting to go for a power 5 midfield whilst not going budget at the back.

    3. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I have Greenwood coming of the bench tonight so hoping he starts and hauls like a mofo.

    4. FFSbet.com
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Auba 1.72 to score
      Greenwood 2.75 to score

      1. Le Bluff
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Of course the bookies will say he's more likely to score, which he is. My point is that Greenwood is just as good of an option as Auba when you factor in Greenwood's price and their huge price difference.

      2. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Le Bluff should put in a massive bet on Greenwood

      Stats do not tell that auba is chasing GB, most probably on PK and the main man.

      Nice input though

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Has he not been "Chasing the Golden Boot" in his last 5 games as well though?

        The 5 games where he has scored 1 goal?

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Yeah been unlucky. Plus Arteta rested him last GW.

          Fwiw I'd rather Kane for final push

          1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Yep that's fair - plus Auba's fixture is gorgeous & he's a terrifyingly good forward on his day

            He's just also a terrifyingly good troll in FPL for large periods of time 🙂

    Foden and Doherty to D.Silva and Pieters my best moves here?

    McCarthy
    TAA-Doherty-O'Connell

    1. Lav

      Yes, 100%. Do not overthink.

      1. Gazza2000

        Cheers Lav

  6. TheDragon
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Bottomed

    Which is better for GW38:

    A) Mahrez, Ings
    B) KDB, Greenwood/ Wood

    1. eamonhegg
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      A

    2. ElliotJHP
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Tough but A for Ings

    3. LE CHARO
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Very tough one, probably A

    4. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      B

    5. Lav
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      A because of Ings, but I personally prefer KDB over Mahrez. I know many here are all over Mahrez instead.

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

    Best captain?

    A) Krul (mci)
    B) Henderson (sou)

    Feel like there will be a pen save bonanza with so many poor penalty takers chasing the golden boot

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

      Surely this is a troll.

    2. JONALDINHO

      Krul cruel

  8. EL tridente
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Best transfer?
    A) Boly to Robbo
    B) Rashford to Kane
    C) Mahrez to D Silva
    D) Saka to Antonio
    E) Ings and Mahrez to Kane and D Silva for -4

    Reina or Martinez on FH?

    1. La Roja

      Martínez

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

        Thanks. So tricky coming up with a solid three man defense + a playing fourth with a front seven of Salah Raz KDB Martial DSilva Kane Ings. Going to have to drop TAA for sure, which worries me despite his form.

        1. ElliotJHP
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Ooft we are working with same front 7.

          Defence I am currently on

          Martinez
          Pieters Braithwaite Robbo

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

            Looks great. I am thinking

            Martinez
            VVD Aurier Pieters (Braithwaite) and then Williams as 5th.

            Pieters is a lock, Williams is a lock due to price. Braithwaite probably a lock as fourth. VVD & Aurier I am unsure.

            1. ElliotJHP
              • 11 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              Yeah nice, have weighed up Aurier.

              I am really thinking of risking it all on Braithwaite and going Williams and 3.9 as subs

  10. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Theres no better midfield pick than Antonio at sub 7.4, right (already have D.Silva)? Villa defensive form is putting me off a bit but still hard to look elsewhere. Stanislas is tempting me a bit but probably just a dumb punt 😆

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

      Correct, no other good pick.

    2. FFSbet.com
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Robbo and 4 at the back?

      1. fc_skrald

        I thought alcohol was on the doping list.

    3. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Saint Maximum against a drunk Pool defence

      1. fc_skrald
        • 8 Years

        Wrong, drunk joke above..

    4. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I like Pulisic

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

      pretty slim pickings, maybe lucas moura if you feel really really punty

      1. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Id rather pick Zaha in the Spurs game tbh

    6. MrZ
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      If you still have man city slot, foden. Antonio is intriguing but villa's defence has been good lately.

      1. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I think Foden is close to 0 percent chance to start the final game.

  11. Strchld
    • 7 Years

    For FH38.

    A) Trent 4-5-1

  13. Rains of Castamere
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Bit of a bench quandary this week.

    Pick one to play - other two will be benched.

    A) Jimenez (che)
    B) Pulisic (WOL)
    C) Greenwood (lei)

    Currently have Pulisic starting and two strikers benched which isn't ideal.

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Jimenez. Greenwood also better than Pulisic this week imo

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

      Have to play Pulisic. Jimenez's wife just had the couples first child. Unsure if that will factor into if he plays or not.

    3. Kno
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Its some rough choices, could make a good case for starting all three tbh. See how the boys look tonight

  14. Respect My Authoritah

    Do Sheffield United have anything to play for? Can 8th net them Europe?

    D) Fernandes + Jiménez > Salah + Connolly -4 (play Greenwood)

    On the off-chance someone might have some details:

    1) “If you ain’t first, you last!”
    2) 2019/20 Invitational

    Both money leagues, both advertised by a poster on here, and I can’t get hold of the admin. Any folks on here in the same leagues? If yes, any info you might have on the status of either would be appreciated. Ta!

      I’m in 1). Admin hasn’t answered anybody in months now

        Aye, I’ve sent a couple of mails recently but no replies so far. Scoundrels.

      Shame... mods should do a better job of removing posts about money league invites from randoms next pre-season. Recipe for getting scammed

    Is Pulisic even fit for tonight?

    1. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yes.

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yes - have heard he starts tonight

    A) KDB+Bruno to Dilva+Sterling -4
    B) KDB+Jimenez to Dilva+Kane -4
    C) Pulisic to Dilva for free
    D) Vardy to Kane for free

    Last gw of the season, has to end with a hit. Any exciting suggestions? 0.6m itb. Did jimmy > Ings with the ft.

    Schmeichel
    Taa Doherty Tark
    Salah kdb Bruno Mahrez

    Auba of Ings? & Why?
    Ings is on fire & chasing golden boot. & SHU hasn't been good defensively.
    Auba has Watford who's more leaky, but he has FA cup final 5 days later.

    1. Gazza2000

      Ings, don’t like Auba

    What looks best on FH? Pieters is third defender.

    A. TAA & Bardsley
    B. Robbo & Bardsley

    The full story

    A) -4
    Martial-->D Silva
    Jimenez-->Auba

    B) -8
    Martial-->D Silva
    Jesus--> Wood
    Saka-->Sterling

    Leading ML by just 15 and he has a bench boost.
    Play it safe or just go for it?

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years

      I'd go for B brother, especially if he has Sterling. Wary losing Martial though. Good luck!

      Help below?

    Assuming tonight goes well for my LIV & MUN players, how do these final GW moves look? 1 FT 1.1 ITB

    KDB Vardy to DSilva Kane (-4). Unsure on losing KDB v Mahrez (form, arguably, versus likely to play). & the moves also leave 2.8m ITB if losing - a further hit worth it anywhere?

    Pope (3.9)
    TAA Aurier Pieters (Doherty 3.9)
    Mane KDB Bruno Mahrez (Guendouzi)
    Rashford Vardy Greenwood

    Thank you all - last one!

      D Silva, Kane looks like a good move.
