Fantasy Football Scout is committed to celebrating Fantasy Premier League enthusiasts from across the globe.


Fantasy Football has become a truly global passion in recent years, which has created a beautifully diverse readership on our site.

We now have a genuinely international following, as regular visitors from 234 different countries have formed a part of the circa 4.7 million visitors to the site over the last 12 months.

From Australia, Brazil and Croatia to the Western Sahara, Yemen and Zambia, it is clear there are Fantasy managers fretting ahead of each Gameweek regardless of their geographical setting.

And with that in mind, we have set up a new initiative to reflect, celebrate and better serve this international audience.

FFS International is a new branch of the Scout Network dedicated to featuring the best content creators from around the world. 

There is Fantasy advice, insight and entertainment going out all over the planet, tailored to their local communities, languages and timezones and we want to help play a part in connect creators with their audiences.

To find the existing channels check out the detailed map below. 

But remember, we really are just getting started on this initiative, so if you are interested in shining a light on the Fantasy fanatics in your region please do get in touch USING THIS FORM.

  • Let’s Talk FPL (Ireland)
  • The FPL Hangover Podcast (Ireland – Academy)
  • FPL Greece (Greece)
  • Fantasy Chat (Palestine)
  • FPL Poet (Bangladesh)
  • Dream Set Go (India)
  • FPL Live Wire powered by Dream Set Go (India)
  • FPL Take the Hit (Australia)
  • KingFut.com (Egypt)
  • Americans Talk FPL (United States of America – Academy)

The content produced by FFScout is read in over 234 countries around the world from Norway to America, Nigeria to Malaysia and Tonga to Belize. The Scout Network is already helping us to highlight fantastic content from Palestine, Australia, India, Bangladesh, Greece and Ireland, alongside the Scout Academy which contains content creators from America, Ireland as well as the UK. 

The quality of the content internationally is one of the great pulls of the FPL community and hopefully that will only increase with the development of the Arabic language section of the Fantasy Football Scout website. 

As announced last week, this allows Arabic speakers to read an introduction to Fantasy Football Scout, our ‘How to play FPL’ article and, every Gameweek, they will be able to read our Scout Squad article in their native tongue.  

There will be many further Arabic language articles over the coming weeks and months, including translations of the FFS International articles. 

The comments feature is now active on Arabic articles and there are plans in place to launch Arabic language community articles in the near future. 

FPL Greece

FPL Greece are a founding member of the FFS International branch of the Scout Network. Here is an introduction to their FPL content.

FPL Greece started as a group of friends with common beliefs and life goals. United by our irrational love for Fantasy Premier League, and how much it has damaged us in 10 years of playing, we decided to share our experiences with the wider Greek FPL community in 2018.

Our mission statement was clear and precise: Somehow find a way to win this game and spread the love for Matt “The true Lord” Doherty.

Long-time lurkers of the early days of Fantasy Football Scout, we were among those who patiently waited every week for Mark and Granville’s Scoutcast and spent Saturday’s chatting to other users during games in the world’s first ever global FPL community.

Years went by and our love for the game has only grown. FPL is part of our lives and so is Fantasy Football Scout, so we are delighted to be a member of the FFS International branch of the Scout Network.

Our Team

Christos and Babis have consistently played and failed to win the game since 2008.

Between us, we share seven top 10k finishes, six of which were in the top 5k.

Some of our best finishes in the group include a place in the top 200 for Christos, 1,326 for Babis while Dimitris has come 2,694.

Our Broadcasts

In 2018 we started creating YouTube podcasts in Greek, hoping to connect the Greek Fantasy community which, at the time, was in an embryonic stage.

Over the last two years, we have appeared as guests in the biggest sports radio in Greece to talk about FPL and had the chance to make videos about the Premier League with some of the most popular football journalists.

These days, we stream primarily on Twitch at least twice a week (Monday and Friday at 11pm local time).

The Community

If there’s one thing we are proud of, it is our community of Greek-speaking FPL managers. As the game becomes more and more popular in our country, the FPL Greece Discord server experiences exponential growth.

We scheduled our first meet-up for the last game of the 2019/20 season, although we had to postpone it because of COVID-19.

If things return to normal soon enough, we hope to have one of these later in 2020/21.

Our Competitions

Our mini-league is the biggest in Greece with over 2,000 teams as of Gameweek 4.

We hold ‘Manager of the Month’ competitions with custom made trophies for our patrons.

Another popular competition is the annual FPL Greece Cup.

We had over 1,800 participants last season and we, unlike the official FPL site, actually paused it during the COVID-19 outbreak, calculating all scores properly without having to rely on a virtual coin toss.

We also offer many other gifts and trophies to those who enter our competitions or win them such as original team jerseys or even tickets to football games (two tickets to watch last year’s game between Chelsea and Arsenal at Stamford Bridge).

Our ambition

We are optimistic that this year at least one member of our community will finish within the top 50 of FPL, or even WIN IT.

Oh, and we will continue searching for a good excuse to always have Matt Doherty in our teams.

    Out of 10???

    Wc team

    Martinez

    Chilwell/Coady/Lamptey

    Son/kdb/Salah/Trossard
    /Jrod

    Kane/Watkins

    (Bissouma/Mitchell/Burke)

    Cheers.

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      6 years, 26 days ago

      Looks decent. 8/10. I’d have a full back over Coady and probably Sterling over KDB.

      Watkins is tricky too. Perhaps a more established Antonio or C.Wilson

      1. Sanchit
        6 years, 26 days ago

        Because sterling scored last week?

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          6 years, 26 days ago

          No. Because of his opportunity to play up front. I also said “probably” not definitely.

    2. DRIZ ✅
      6 years, 26 days ago

      6 years, 26 days ago

      8.

      Don't like Coady. It's Brewster as your 3rd sub right?

      1. camarozz
        6 years, 26 days ago

        Yeah Cam

        I can go 343 with Dcl up top and Grealish coz i can't afford Jrod going that way.

    5. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 26 days ago

      Is must be Brewster over Burke? Säiss over Coady

    6. Brosstan
      6 years, 26 days ago

      No Grealish, very questionable defense

  2. RAFA THE GAFFA
    6 years, 26 days ago

    IB boredom so... Best early captain pick here? And play Davies(WHU) or Mitchell(BRI)?

    McCarthy
    TAA, Justin, Saiss, Davies
    KDB, Salah, Rodríguez, Son
    DCL, Ings
    (Nyland, Mitchell, Bissouma, Davis)

    1. DRIZ ✅

    Salah - Son - ____ - Zaha - Bissouma
    ____ - DCL - Maupay

    A) J.Rodriguez & Kane

    6 years, 26 days ago

    Hi guys. Would really appreciate the advice. OR 31k and already 100 behind 1st place. Hate 2020! Should I do the below for a -28 hit?

    Out:
    McCarthy
    TTA KWP Justin Digne
    Salah. De Bruyne Rodriguez. Barnes
    Kane. Wilson.
    In:
    McCarthy
    Zouma Chillwell Cresswell
    Son. Jorginho Rodriguez. Grealish
    Kane. Wilson. Watkins

    2. Bank$y
      6 years, 26 days ago

      You’re trolling right? 28 pt hit? Defence needs sorted but otherwise a good team. WC if you really need to.

    3. skodaole2
      6 years, 26 days ago

      Great moves, i d take one more hit to drop McCarthy for Patricio if you have the cash. Perfect -32, you can then play BB chip to equalise that

      1. Ronniie
        6 years, 26 days ago

        This!

    4. cravencottage
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 26 days ago

      Ive never seen a 28 pt hit

      1. JonSnow
        6 years, 26 days ago

        i did a -64 two seasons ago by forgetting to hit WC whilst drunk

      2. Paulybaby123
        6 years, 26 days ago

        I did a 16 pt hit last week and moved up 1million spots. I've also done a 24 pt hit for this gw upcoming. Nothing wrong with it. Will make the points back and likely stay or move up whilst having the players in I want

  5. umerlfc
    6 years, 26 days ago

    R.James + H.Barnes + Adams - > Chilwell + Son + Maupay (-8) ?

    How does this move look?

    1. DRIZ ✅
      6 years, 26 days ago

      Looks good i would

    2. skodaole2
      6 years, 26 days ago

      All the moves look great, any chance you can keep the Chelsea move for next GW and do two moves now for -4 and one move after? Or not enough defenders to field?

      1. umerlfc
        6 years, 26 days ago

        I can. Have Lamptey and Mitchell as backup

        1. skodaole2
          6 years, 26 days ago

          Then i would read the Chelsea news every day until the deadline before deciding about the third transfer. Probably its good to take a -8 and rearrange things but James missed just one game and i am not sure at all he missed his spot. I d say do it but not all of them now, i expect many players unavailable until the deadline. Good luck with your choice

          1. umerlfc
            6 years, 26 days ago

            Thanks for the detailed reply. Will surely look into any hints through team news, etc.

    3. Amey
      6 years, 26 days ago

      James to Chilwell can wait.
      He might be dropped to deal with Zaha & Eze vs Palace.

  6. DRIZ ✅
    6 years, 26 days ago

    Mesut Ozil gets one over Arsenal again

    1. GENERATION X
      6 years, 26 days ago

      He probably only did it for fear of being given the dinosaur suit to wear himself

  7. Jimjam
    6 years, 26 days ago

    On WC:

    (1) KDB or Sterling?

    (2) JRodriguez or Pulisic?

    (3) Wilson or Antonio?

    1. Jordan.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      K
      J
      W

    2. Dexters Laboratory
      6 years, 26 days ago

      KDB, JRod, Antonio (Or Muapay?)

    3. Make United Great Again
      6 years, 26 days ago

      KDB
      Hamez
      Wilson

    4. Tigers Time
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 26 days ago

      I would keep your powder dry on Man City - not sure what's happening there.
      I would have both JRod & Pulisic and it's Antonio for me - he's a beast.

    5. Warby84
      6 years, 26 days ago

      S/JR/W

    6. Sgt Frank Drebin
      6 years, 26 days ago

      1. Hard ot say. Leaning slightly towards KDB.

      2. Rodriguez short term. Over the course of the season maybe Pulisic but depends how much rotation is Frank planning.

      3. Wilson for the next couple of few, then Antonio. But both are great options, personally planning to get both.

  8. SteJ
    6 years, 26 days ago

    So far this year FFS does not stand for Fantasy Football Scout

  9. LewanGOALski
    6 years, 26 days ago

    This year and FPL season are that crazy I look at my WC Team I am happy with and my only worry is that I have no Aston Villa MID / FWD 😀

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      6 years, 26 days ago

      Grealish over Zaha for me. Easy

  10. Zalk
    6 years, 26 days ago

    If this comment section banned RMT comments it would probably be much more rewarding to read.

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 26 days ago

      The forum is not bad this time of the week. There are much fewer RMTs with so much time to go and people are actually contemplating the long term value of players.

    2. Brosstan
      6 years, 26 days ago

      It's very slow right now so it doesn't matter. They should ban RMT once we get a new WC

    3. Amey
      6 years, 26 days ago

      One page is staying for 2 hours.
      I don't mind RMT right now.

  11. Brosstan
    6 years, 26 days ago

    Jimenez has never blanked 3 times in a row in FPL

    Im keeping for Leeds game as the stats clearly say he's due

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      6 years, 26 days ago

      I don't think that's true? I'm sure he blanked 4 last year

    2. Third Eye Vision
      6 years, 26 days ago

      Your one of those posters that I see on here a lot (spouting off) and I can’t work out if you’re trolling or genuinely just a bit dim.

      1. Third Eye Vision

        *You’re

      2. Amey

        1. Brosstan
          6 years, 26 days ago

          Can't make it too obvious 😉

      3. Goonsquad245
        6 years, 26 days ago

        Balancing your trolling range is a real skill

    3. Je suis le chat
      6 years, 26 days ago

      He can blank off, I've binned for - 8, sick of him, one of these players who've trolled me!

  12. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    6 years, 26 days ago

    Sterling/ KDB to Son for a -4? Or should I wait for one more GW and not take a hit?

    1. DRIZ ✅
      6 years, 26 days ago

      Would do it for Son

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        6 years, 26 days ago

        Sterling or KDB is the question now! Sterling looks hungry. KDB's positioning does not do him any favours.

        1. VincentVega
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          6 years, 26 days ago

          I'm just waiting for the KDB price falls then i'm in

          1. MSTRKRFTSMN
            6 years, 26 days ago

            Great news, hadn’t noticed this

    2. Goonsquad245
      6 years, 26 days ago

      Utter madness. Surely wait

  13. Gunners in Haaland
    6 years, 26 days ago

    KDB price fall tonight?

    1. MSTRKRFTSMN
      6 years, 26 days ago

      Yep looks like

    2. Goonsquad245
      6 years, 26 days ago

      Maybe. Tons of wildcards

      1. Tinkermania
        6 years, 26 days ago

        Kdb peaked last season. He will do very well to get closer to last season's haul.

        1. Goonsquad245
          6 years, 26 days ago

          I don’t agree. KDB overperformed last season, but if he remains on penalties, it’ll bridge the variance gap somewhat. I’d expect 230-240 minimum if he stays fit

          1. Tinkermania
            6 years, 26 days ago

            By saying he overperformed, you kind of agreeing with my 'peaking'. Penalties have helped him go to start at same price as Sterling.

            1. Goonsquad245
              6 years, 26 days ago

              KDB in his previous guise (no penalties) overperformed a lot. With penalties, it’s not unfathomable he repeats it or even goes higher. He’s a different proposition to last season.

              1. Tinkermania
                6 years, 26 days ago

                You might be right. Am only playing Sterling. I expect a hatful of hatricks from him. There will be very little Pep roulette too as they are playing catch up.

                1. Goonsquad245
                  6 years, 26 days ago

                  Sterling is a good pick too!

  14. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 26 days ago

    Best option here?

    A) Holding -> Saiss (save FT)
    B) KDB & Davis -> (6.3) Perreira & Kane
    C) VVD, KDB & Davis -> Saiss, Hames & Kane (-4)

    McCarthy
    TAA, VVD, Mitchell
    Salah, KDB, Son, Foden, Bissouma
    Jimenez, Antonio

    Steer, Bellerin, Holding, Davis
    Bank 0.9m, 2FT

    1. Giovanni Giorgio
      6 years, 26 days ago

      I'd probably do C as you don't own DCL and need some EVE cover

      1. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 26 days ago

        Cheers. Just spotted I have the exact amount for:

        D) KDB, Davis & Antonio -> Soucek, Kane & DCL (-4)

        Thoughts?

    2. Amey
      6 years, 26 days ago

      A

    3. VincentVega
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 26 days ago

      Holding -> Chillwell

    4. Goonsquad245
      6 years, 26 days ago

      A easily, the other two will actively lose you points.

  15. Giovanni Giorgio
    6 years, 26 days ago

    On WC.
    Konsa or Dallas/Ayling?

    1. St. Stephen XI
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 26 days ago

      Even though I generally prefer fullbacks, Villa have a pretty amazing run of fixtures once you get past the first game back from IB. I'm on Konsa through week 29 when the fixtures turn to the diabolical.

      He's my number four defender on a team that plays primarily 343, but I'm feeling good about him being a useful option on any given week.

    2. YEAH PITCH!

    2. MSTRKRFTSMN
      6 years, 26 days ago

      Defence needs ripping up and start again. All will be dropped soon skate from chilwell, who is a bandwagon pick. And considering that, you’ll have to allocate more funds to defence and change your whole team

    3. Giovanni Giorgio
      6 years, 26 days ago

      Podence --> Bissouma
      Justin --> Castagne

    4. Third Eye Vision
      6 years, 26 days ago

      Yeah, defence needs a rethink. I don’t mind Chilwell though. He’s only 5.5 and on some corners. I always think Chelsea pose a threat from corners. Don’t know if that’s backed up by stats though.

      I agree with the Podence to 4.5 and spend the change on def.

      6 years, 26 days ago

      B

    2. Sgt Frank Drebin
      6 years, 26 days ago

      B for me. DCL has much better stats than Watkins and Grealish almost matches JRod for less (altough the last game was quite strange, hard to asses how good Villa really is). Besides DCL is a set and forget at this point with such high ownership, you own him just to mitigate any damage. You won't gain much from his points.

      Brendan Williams who has now joined Southampton

      1. My Name Is Prince
        6 years, 26 days ago

        Isn't he a left back? Most likely won't be first choice over Bertrand one would think...

        1. Vazza
          6 years, 26 days ago

          Not sure why he would have moved from Man U if his security of starts is still next to nothing

          1. My Name Is Prince
            6 years, 26 days ago

            Not sure either but even if what you're saying is true Bertrand is one of Ralph's trusted men at Saints, no way they are taking a player on loan from another club and demoting Ryan to the bench...

      2. Make United Great Again

        No he hasn’t...

        No he hasn't.

      4. Amey
        6 years, 26 days ago

        I doubt that because we let go Dalot on loan too. And as far as i know he's going to be backup to AWB

      Lewis through week 15. Fullback with a very friendly schedule. Wouldn't be at all shocked to see him get a price rise over that period and give you an opportunity to move to any of a list of 4.5s when the Geordies' fixture list takes a nasty turn on Boxing Day.

      1. My Name Is Prince
        6 years, 26 days ago

        Yep, exactly who I'm leaning towards as of now... Might sneak in a few assists as well during that period

        1. St. Stephen XI
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          6 years, 26 days ago

          I don't know enough about his history to know if he's a YC magnet or whether early games are just a fluke with respect to bookings, but that long run of green fixtures is hard to ignore.

    3. Sgt Frank Drebin
      6 years, 26 days ago

      I don't think there is a 4.4m defender worth attention or playing him every week. Mitchell maybe if he's not going to be benched (I have no idea on his situation)

      1. My Name Is Prince
        6 years, 26 days ago

        -0.1m on a move I want to make so I’m downgrading 4.5m def to a 4.4m def, to play occasionally, already have Mitchell...

      2. Goonsquad245

        PVA back in training.

        Despite what Hodgson has said about him, I think he’s dead as an option

        1. Amey

          Agree

  22. Vazza

    Please pick best combo

    A. Chilwell, Salah, Jimenez (4-4-2)
    B. Maupay, Mane, Jimenez (3-4-3)
    C. Watkins, Salah, Jimenez (3-4-3)
    D. Kane, Mane, Brewster (3-4-3)

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

    Barnes back to Son?

    Villa Arsenal Leeds Wolves and Liverpool don't seem like great fixtures for Barnes

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      6 years, 26 days ago

      Yes

    2. Sgt Frank Drebin
      6 years, 26 days ago

      Villa Arsenal Leeds maybe isn't that bad but Son is much better & has better fixtures.

    3. Je suis le chat
      6 years, 26 days ago

      All day, Son is the definition of a season keeper, steal at his price (I've spent - 12 transferring him in and out for 1 point!).

    4. Goonsquad245
      6 years, 26 days ago

      Do you have any other options? I’d want to keep Barnes for Villa but can see why you’d sell

  24. Pep Roulette
    6 years, 26 days ago

    Sell Barnes or Podence?

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Podence

    2. St. Stephen XI
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 26 days ago

      I would be asking myself if those thoughts are coming from a concern over consistent minutes or a frustration with recent play.

      To me, Barnes gets consistent minutes in a productive offense and finds himself in positions where he's likely to be involved. I'd be inclined to want to stick it out with a player like that (as I am with Phil Foden even though at times it looks like he couldn't score in a brothel).

      I'm not as locked in on the idea of Podence, but the departure of Jota seems to have opened up what looks like regular minutes (he's a left-sided player and I don't see him as being all that under threat by Neto and Traore). If Podence gets regular minutes given where he's be playing in the formation, he could be one of THE bargains of the season.

      I'd kinda want to keep them both for now unless I had a FT to burn.

    Think I’ll drop Havertz after SOU

    mun bur SHU new TOT isn’t all that appealing

    Grealish looks like a good option and save 1.4mil

    1. Amey
      6 years, 26 days ago

      Actually I think he'll end Up being best Chelsea guy to get.

      Do you think Werner can play #9 ?
      Sole striker ?

      Or will he rotate with Pulisic making both of them pathetic FPL options.

      1. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 26 days ago

        It’s going to be a mess imo

        You’ve got ziyech and puli coming back so who gets dropped

        CHO makes way, mount already dropped, Werner back to 9 with puli in?

        Getting that to gel without upsetting the dressing room isn’t going to be easy - if anything injuries have helped the easing in process

        1. Amey
          6 years, 26 days ago

          In all that i just don't think Werner can play as 9 on himself. He just sways away too much. Bit like United. Chances are created but a pocher, out n out #9 with instincts is not available.

          (Or we've solved that by getting Cavani 😛 )

          1. Goonsquad245
            6 years, 26 days ago

            How do you think Cavani playing at 9 will affect Rashford?

            1. Amey
              6 years, 26 days ago

              Main problem for me is Cavani doens't fit the OGS mould.
              One touch, fast attacking football (or that's what we're trying)

              System would be changed. If anything Rashford output would increase as he's going to be main threat to run in behind the lines as Cavani won't have legs to run.

              I'm more interested in RW spot tbh. Either martial is moved to RW or we'll see rotation between Rashford Martial Cavani for LW & striker spot with GW/James/mata covering RW.

              1. Goonsquad245
                6 years, 26 days ago

                Will Cavani even play when Tony is back? Feels like a really strange signing if the plan is to move Martial/Rash to RW when both are settled

                1. Amey
                  6 years, 26 days ago

                  He's given #7 jersey !
                  After watching that I'm also not sure about the plans.

                  Surely United would want #7 to play most games 😮

                  1. Sgt Frank Drebin
                    6 years, 26 days ago

                    Didn't Cavani play at right side at PSG when Ibra was there? I assumed Man United is getting him to play at right wing but not sure.

                    1. Amey
                      6 years, 26 days ago

                      He didn't like that though. I can't see him playing RW.
                      Let's see

    Thanks

    1. Tonyawesome69

      6.5/10 - suggest you look into bringing in Son/Kane and Salah

    2. Goonsquad245
      6 years, 26 days ago

      Jorginho is a shocking pick. I would be looking to move Fernandes to Salah next week to avoid serious punishment

  27. Tonyawesome69
    6 years, 26 days ago

    Is it worth considering WCing this team? Already use FT to bring in Son

    0.8itb 0ft
    McCarthy
    Robbo TAA* Taylor Justin*
    KDB Salah Son Podence*
    DCL Jimenez*
    (Peacock* Ayling Bissouma Vassilev*)

    2.1itb after these transfers:
    McCarthy to Martinez
    Peacock to Steer
    Taylor to Dallas
    Justin to Castagne
    TAA to Chilwell
    Podence to Grealish
    Jimenez to Antonio
    Vassilev to Brewster

    1. Je suis le chat
      6 years, 26 days ago

      No imo. However, if wildcarding brings you pleasure, go for it! I've just spent - 8 to bring back Kane and Son based on this tenet.

      1. Tonyawesome69
        6 years, 26 days ago

        I'm not sure if it'll bring me pleasure. I do like the idea of doubling up with Kane and Son but I'll need to take a - 8 downgrading TAA to a 6.2def and Jimenez to Kane

        1. Je suis le chat
          6 years, 26 days ago

          Chilwell and Kane in for the - 8 would be worth it I reckon. Kane is hungry, Spuds might even challenge when Bryson De Bale starts, can't wait!

    2. Goonsquad245
      6 years, 26 days ago

      Not for me, way, way too few high impact transfers there

      1. Tonyawesome69
        6 years, 26 days ago

        Interesting point. The two players I'm not overly keen on keeping is Podence and Jimenez. Wolves have been poor in the last two games but they still have 3 interesting fixtures coming up

        1. Goonsquad245
          6 years, 26 days ago

          The Wolves boys are fine for the next 3, and if you’re really not happy you can shift Podence to Barkley/Trossard next week

    3. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      6 years, 26 days ago

      Personally I like your team and don't think it's worth wildcarding. I'm jealous of that double pool defence.

      1. Gingerman
        6 years, 26 days ago

        Your team looks just fine

      2. Tonyawesome69
        6 years, 26 days ago

        Adrian and the high def line isn't giving me confidence to keeping both Robbo and TAA but you have those two for their attacking points. However, TAA hasn't been great and I think I could downgrade him use those funds in either Jimenez to Kane or Podence to Grealish

  28. ThisPostsOnFire
    6 years, 26 days ago

    Potential WC Team for GW8 fixture swings:

    Martinez (Button)
    Robo, Bellerin, Konsa (Lamptey, Mitchell)
    Salah, KDB, Son, Grealish (Bowen)
    DCL, Wilson, Antonio

    Rotate the two 6.5 forward positions between Wilson, Antonio, Maupay, Watkins, Wood and Bamford

    Bowen can come in for any forward with a difficult GW

  29. Teror
    6 years, 26 days ago

    Should I wildcard? I never wildcard this early and never want to wildcard before GW7/8 but kind of feel like I'm wasting my transfers atm and sorting out the dross would give me a renewed focus

    1. ThisPostsOnFire
      6 years, 26 days ago

      Would wait for fixture swings around GW8.
      That team looks fine fixture wise up until then.
      I'd maybe transfer Ramsdale before then, but wouldn't be in a rush with any of the rest.

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

      Do it (:

    3. Wonderful Wizard Hazard
      6 years, 26 days ago

      Depends on who you are looking to transfer. You are missing Son/Kane/J-Rod/DCL/Grealish.. I'd say a -8 is OK. If you can get in a few of the players you want, then maybe wait on WC. For me, I want Son/Kane/J-Rod now, and I can't get them in with a -8.

  30. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

    Who to play?

    A) Foden (ARS)
    B) Brewster (FUL)

      A

    2. ThisPostsOnFire

      Can't see Brewster getting a lot of mins (if any at all) for his first outing.

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        6 years, 26 days ago

        Sheffield can't score and their forwards are crap. He should start imo?!
