    I’m currently sitting on 26,005th position, I am first in every group that is played for the prizes, and I have some serious doubts about few players, and the main question remains, should I go for wc? I have no woolves neither city players, and currently, my bench is not playing at all... any thoughts ?

    Mcarthy/nyland

    Trent/ digne/ justin/ mitchell/ douglas

    Salah/ Son/ smx/ abume/ stephens

    Ings/ calwert/ davis

    1. Puntillimon
      6 years, 1 month ago

      1FT? I would just do auba to sterling or kdb

      1. Jokanovic
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Abu to kdb for sure, and I'm thinking to do smx to zaha for -4...

    2. linkafu
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Aubam to KdB and Ings to Jimenez for a hit this week
      douglas to a 4.5 next week

      you re ok

      1. Hansel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 1 month ago

        No way Ings -> Jimmy is worth a hit

        1. Jokanovic
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Agree, ings is too worthy, and they have some nixe fixtures!

    3. Team Bobcat
      6 years, 1 month ago

      You cant have the key players from every team. Are you happy woth your team? You should be. No case to WC imo.

      Everyone will have issues with their team so long as your core (key players) is strong and you have faith in it then you are sound.

      1. Jokanovic
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I'm happy, but I have no bench players for backup... I have played this week with 9 players and scored 82 points... How about Zaha and Jimenez?

  2. Team Bobcat
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Have Mourinho Spurs resolved their issues now that they beat Sou away from home 2 -5?

    Surely not but impressive fpl assets in Son and Kane. From what I read were lucky not to be traling at half time. Did you see enough to invest?

    Discuss please !

    1. Ser Davos
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Southampton were bad. In fact they were worse than when they played Leicester. The chap with the Hazard grav made an excellent point about there were several disallowed goals too.

      I'm not too bothered by Kane I don't think and it appears that Son is the asset to have. He could easily blank v NEW, but at 8.9-9m, confidence high, explosive and a good pre season, I'm on him atm

    2. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      on WC and getting Son. aim is to be placeholder until chelsea mid (likely Pulisic) is up and running

      1. fish&chips
        6 years, 1 month ago

        This seems like a good plan

    3. Nightrain_
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Son is a proven explosive asset, as long as he's in form and not injured, he's not a placeholder IMHO, he's there to stay

      1. Ser Davos
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Now Delli is out of the way this has been set in stone now

        Salah Sterling KDB Son

        only costs 1m more this year than last

        1. KGFC
          6 years, 1 month ago

          I think three premium mids is too much. Also, could mean major compromises elsewhere.

          1. Ser Davos
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Yes, it's one to weigh up for sure

  3. thehodge
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Currently on WC and playing around. Think I’ve a squad I’ll eventually go with but it instantly gives me a benching headache

    1. Nightrain_
      6 years, 1 month ago

      How's your latest draft looking, mate ?

      1. thehodge
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Currently have two Midfielders 5.5 - Podence and Klich atm to allow for a front line of DCL, Wood and Werner.

        I don’t like DCL at all as a player so not sure whether I’ll end up with Rich or Rod in the end

    2. Ser Davos
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Think it could be the way to go early doors. Defending has been atrocious all over (even Wolves yesterday)

      Gives you time to assess which are the better of the cheaper options without transfers

  4. Miniboss
    6 years, 1 month ago

    A) McCarthy -> any other 4.5 keeper
    B) Auba -> Kdb
    C) both -4

    1ft, 0.0itb

    McCarthy
    TAA KWP Vinagre
    Auba Salah Son Soucek
    Ings Mitro Werner

    Button Mitchell Justin Bissouma

    1. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      B

    2. Lincos
      6 years, 1 month ago

      B - KDB could make up - 4

  5. davies
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Really think Under will make a mockery of his price tag once he’s fit enough to start

    1. Holmes
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Underpriced...

      1. Pep Roulette
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Underrated comment

    2. Fudgy
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Does seem daft at 6.0

      1. davies
        6 years, 1 month ago

        1.0 cheaper than Barnes is ridiculous

        1. KGFC
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Care to share some insights about him? And who he threatens the most in the current team setup? Thanks!

          1. davies
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Displaces Perez as soon as he’s fit/integrated

            Our Mahrez replacement so a lot of scouting has gone into this position - goal scoring winger was the criteria

            1. KGFC
              6 years, 1 month ago

              Fantastic, thanks mate!

              Added to watchlist 🙂

    3. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I saw him today in the game for the first time and did some preliminary digging. Seems like he has winger stats which are a bit like Ferran Torres and not too great for FPL. We will see though.

      1. davies
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Almost got to discount last season it was riddled with injuries - before that he had good numbers and I expect them improve in our set up

    4. Andy_Social
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Be an Under taker.

    5. Railwayman
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I am a AS Roma fan and I watch them ost of their games during the season and 6 is just to cheap for him. Once he gets in the team he will be a bargain for that price.

      1. davies
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Yep hopefully he starts midweek, cameo vs city then starts vs WHU

  6. linkafu
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Aubam to KdB and Ings to Jimenez for a hit this week
    douglas to a 4.5 next week

    you re ok

  7. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 1 month ago

    How nailed are these players?

    1) Mitchel....till gw6 till PVA is back?
    2) Justin.....till gw7 till Pereria is back? Does Justin play LB or RB?
    3) Reece James....will rotate with Azpi?
    4) Taylor.....will he compete with Pieters and is rotation risk?

    Most nailed 4.5 defenders (imo):
    - Lamptey
    - KWP
    - Ayling

  8. gunnerboy
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Sorry if this has been asked a million times but is James nailed for Chelsea?

    1. ElliotJHP
      6 years, 1 month ago

      He's first choice but Azpi is waiting in the wings. Think he's worth the punt

    2. GROBARI
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Until Chilwell is injured,yes

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Even with Chilwell injured. He's starting now ahead of Azpi.

        1. UnitednationsXI
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          6 years, 1 month ago

          he could easily loose the spot though to azpi...azpi is club captain and not like he is 35

  9. afsr
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Klich or Podence

    1. Nightrain_
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Leaning toward Podence as Klich will soon enter a tough fixtures and Podence will likely to start with 2 back-to-back assists and Neto could be benched if Traore is pushed forward

    2. bootsmanus
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Go with your gut

  10. Malkmus
    6 years, 1 month ago

    A’noon all. Any thoughts on this WC? 0.0 ITB.

    Ryan (Button)
    Saiss - Taylor - Justin - Lamptey - Mitchell
    Salah - KDB - Son - Zaha - Anguisa
    Werner - DCL - Jimi

    Any thoughts?

    I would prefer J Rodriguez to Zaha but 0.4 short.

    Ta!

    1. Nightrain_
      6 years, 1 month ago

      It's just me but I won't go with Salah as in the next 3-4 fixtures, he's unlikely to haul or be your captain

      And since Justin and Mitchell will likely lose their spot, I'll go double on TAA/Robbo there

      1. Malkmus
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Ok thanks

  11. davies
    6 years, 1 month ago

    McCarthy > Martinez (-4)

    Y or N?

    1. ElliotJHP
      6 years, 1 month ago

      N, Southampton have a decent fixture

    2. Ser Davos
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yes as it may well save you the WC down the line

      McCarthy was atrocious and combined with Soton's high line? Recipe for disaster even v Wood

      1. Andy_Social
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Basically one tactical error. I'm sure they're spending the week correcting it. I'm expecting a 0-0 in that game.

  12. Railwayman
    6 years, 1 month ago

    9/15 players in my team scored 0-1 points, further 2 blanked and points coming only from Hames, DCL, Auba and TAA. Is it time for a wildcard or should I take a hit and wait for 1 or 2 more weeks. Roughest start in years for me...

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      6 years, 1 month ago

      depends how good those players are, plenty of good picks blanked this week

      1. Railwayman
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Salah, Werner, Che A., ASM, Ayling, Vinagre, Bavies... Not the best team right now tbh.

        1. SADIO SANÉ
          6 years, 1 month ago

          swapping Che and ASM to someone and Podence should be easy enough

          1. Railwayman
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Will give Che a game or two since he is finding himself in good positions, Podence seems like the best replacment for ASM, that is my plan anyway...

  13. gunnerboy
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Werner or Jesus? On a WC

    1. linkafu
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Jesus

    2. GROBARI
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Werner

    3. bootsmanus
      6 years, 1 month ago

      neither, go Jiminez + Ings and save yourself some cash - they are proven assets

    4. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Werner for me. I believe.

      Chelsea had the 2nd highest xG in the league behind City last year. They now have a striker who scored over 30 goals. He will score. And when he does, he will get a few.

  14. Andy_Social
    6 years, 1 month ago

    The Spurs new signing will Bale into insignificance, but there will be a few Under takers for the Leicester guy.

    1. The Wise Owl
      6 years, 1 month ago

      7.2 before the end of the season

    2. Marvin.
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Call the police.

  15. linkafu
    6 years, 1 month ago

    GTG on WC?

    Mc Carthy
    Taylor James Saiss
    Salah Costa KDB Hamez
    Richarlison Bamford Jimenez

    Steer Zaha Castagne Lamptey

  16. Gazza2000
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Have a decent team but that wildcard is burning in my pocket so just made a wildcard draft and I would change 10 players.

    I'm just looking for an excuse to pull the trigger...

    1. Nightrain_
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Go for it

    2. SADIO SANÉ
      6 years, 1 month ago

      funny how people see things so differently, never has a WC burned in my pocket - I see it as a last resort or a fixture swing chip - and I've not even started particularly well

      1. Gazza2000
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 1 month ago

        My weakness I guess 🙁

        1. SADIO SANÉ
          6 years, 1 month ago

          a WC can work at any time tbf, DO IT 😀

  17. Team Bobcat
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Could we talk about kane a little. Very good price and very explosive, surely leads the way this weekfor the armband? Or will it fail. Newcastle are a steady side.

    1. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      totally disagree on good price. very awkward price. Son +2.5m feels a lot better imo

      1. Lazaretti
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Then you need to cut that 1ml from somewhere. Son 9 Kane 10.5

  18. afsr
    6 years, 1 month ago

    My fiddling with WC team is down to choosing 2 out of 3:

    - Liverpool def
    - DCL, Werner, Jimenez trio
    - Son, Salah, Sterling trio

    1. Tempestic
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yep, tough decisions

  19. akhilrajau
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Who is best 4.5 mid to bench. Currently i have bissouma and he is suspended.

    1. PompeyUpNorth!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      He could only be out one Premier game due to 2 cup games.. I’m holding..

      1. PompeyUpNorth!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 1 month ago

        But if you really want to shift him, I’d suggest the Fulham one (can’t remember name sorry, but got an assist last week)

        1. akhilrajau
          6 years, 1 month ago

          M yea thats my thought. Actually i am also holing but want to check any Fulham mid like reed or anguissa is worth

  20. sirhct
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Possible wildcard:

    GK: Martinez (Steer)
    Def: TAA, Justin, Saiss (Lamptey, Dunne)
    Mid: Salah, KDB, Son, Podence, James Rod
    FWD: Jimenez, DCL (Brewster)

    Wondering whether to go James or Zaha

  21. Peskey
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Already took a hit and seriously considering a wildcard.

    McCarthy - Steer
    TAA - Dallas - Ayling - Justin - Mitchell
    Auba - Son - Bruno - Rodriguez - Saka
    Werner - DCL - Davis

    Comments?

  22. marcus2704
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Jiminez + Mitro or Richarlson and Wilson?

    1. GROBARI
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Jimmy+Mitro

  23. ivantys
    6 years, 1 month ago

    There are way too much prejudice against certain teams here.
    Manu and Everton face the same 2 teams yet Manu's assets are trash while Everton's ones are world class.
    Spurs scored cos they were lucky while Everton scored against 10 men promoted team cos they are "world class".
    And newcastle are def parking the bus against spurs while palace are gonna play open football against Everton. And if spurs nets against Newcastle, it's luck again cos of Newcastle's play style. And Zaha is forever a trap even though he could have scored hat tricks in both games.

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Agreed.

      The first game is skewing a lot of people's opinions on teams. Spurs were suddenly lucky against Southampton because they were poor against Everton. And Everton were class against WBA because they did well against Spurs too.

      Zaha is a trap though because Palace's attack is set to change. Talk of them being in for Brewster, and they also have Eze yet to be integrated. Zaha is unlikely to continue to play upfront for Palace and his history suggests that he will regress.

      Newcastle being a shithouse low block team is no more. Since restart they've been quite an open attacking team. They've shed the ugly football from last season but the prejudice from first half of last season still haunts them.

      1. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Ja if I were palace I would totally move zaha out of the forward role where he has been crap so far

      2. ivantys
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I look at Everton's fixtures and they don't look easy at all, but suddenly their players became "must-haves". Yes I get that they are good budget and pretty cheap but certainly not must-haves.

        I believe Palace are gonna carry on with 1 striker if not they would have started with 2 on GW2. They actually playing 4-5-1 most of the time since everyone is mostly all behind defending.

    2. SADIO SANÉ
      6 years, 1 month ago

      correct, people just see what they want to see on here and luckily for them stats can be framed in a way that can support a variety of different conclusions

      1. ivantys
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Yup, I just don't understand the hype over Everton players here when manu's fixtures are actually easier than theirs. I rather face spurs at home than Liverpool. I'm curious to see how ppl here gonna react when everton blanks while spurs thrash Newcastle.

  24. Do I Not Like Orange
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Is Burke likely to be a regular starter for Sheff? Trying to decide whether to go with him on WC or spread the money about a bit more and get Podence.

  25. PompeyUpNorth!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 1 month ago

    ASM To Foden for a hit? Exact cash n ASM going down very soon.. No brainer, yes?

    A. Yes
    B. No
    Cheers!

    1. bootsmanus
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I think you'll find that Mahrez or Bernardo plays this week and not Foden...

      1. PompeyUpNorth!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Ah right thanks..

  26. You've got red on you.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Martinez over McCarthy on WC?

    1. PompeyUpNorth!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    2. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Certainly. Saints defence is gash.

  27. FFSbet.com
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Better option long term,more explosive or go dullard

    A) Son + Pulisic(when fit)

    B) Bruno + Hamez

  28. merin
    6 years, 1 month ago

    A penny for your thoughts:

    McCarthy Nyland
    TAA KWP Justin Saliba Mitchell
    Salah KDB Bruno JRod Soucek
    Werner Adams Davis

    0 FT, 0 ITB

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Issues:
      Mccarthy
      KWP
      Justin
      Saliba

      1. merin
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Whats wrong with McCarthy, KWP and Justin?

        1. have you seen cyan
          6 years, 1 month ago

          This team is looking stale fast imo

          1. merin
            6 years, 1 month ago

            What do you mean with "stale fast" ?

            1. have you seen cyan
              6 years, 1 month ago

              As darkside said;
              McCarthy, KWP, Adams, Soucek, Saliba..

              I'll let you off Justin because he has got returns somehow despite being awful. But Saints look dammed, maybe Adams will come good soon but the defence I wouldnt count on it. Saliba doesnt even start, Mitchell wont be starting soon enough and Soucek has horrific fixtures. And if Werner dont do anything vs WestBrom then you will want him out as well

              1. merin
                6 years, 1 month ago

                Cheers. Won't be too many weeks before I hit the WC-button :p

                1. have you seen cyan
                  6 years, 1 month ago

                  gl, things change fast here 😀
                  Maybe Saints get a kick up the backside and sort their defence out

                    Hehe, I was kind of hoping Saints to continue their defensive form from the end of last season. Guess that hope has gone, at least for now

                      Same, I think everyone did, until a few days before the dealdine and I realised triple saints cant be right lol.
                      After Leicester smashed them last season they changed into a different team, so they could sort it out tbh.

      You have too many issues and price drops won't help. So I reckon WC next gw if you want the players you are after or else you will be priced out by £1m very soon

    Are Liverpool defenders that essential? What if just sacrificing TAA for a 4.5 defender like Lamptey helps you upgrade Zaha/ Rodriguez in order to get a KDB + Sterling double up? Example below:

    Martinez (Steer)
    James Saiss Lamptey CTaylor (Mitchell)
    KDB Salah Sterling Son (Bissouma)
    Jiminez DCL

    Thanks!

      TAA will haul soon and you will want him back.

      It's worth it go ahead. The thing i don't like about doubling is that if the team has a bad week, then at least one of them is most likely to blank.

      4 4 2 in a season which looks to be free scoring isn't smart

    Took a hit last night to do Auba and Egan to KDB and Saiss. Is this good to go?

    McCarthy
    Saiss TAA Mitchell Vinagre
    Salah KDB Bruno Son
    Wilson DCL
