Five players to consider for the Sky Sports Fantasy Football Overhaul

The Sky Sports Fantasy Football Overhaul is here, meaning unlimited transfers can be made until Saturday 17 October without eating into your allocation of 40 for the season.

For some, their team may be set in stone and ready for domestic football’s return, but for others, crucial decisions are still to be made and Fantasy Football watchlists are to be narrowed down before the next deadline.

Make unlimited changes to your Sky Sports Fantasy Football team here

We’ve picked out five players who could make your starting XI below.

Harry Kane (£11.7m)

Why FPL Managers Should Focus on Premium Forwards in 2020/21

The statistics do the talking with Harry Kane. With three goals and six assists to his name, the England captain has already hit the half-century mark in terms of Fantasy Football points after just four matches. Kane leads the way with 50, the most in the game.

A hefty 40 of these came against Southampton and Manchester United alone, with the Tottenham Hotspur talisman now finding himself in 60.2% of the top 1,000 Fantasy Football teams ahead of the Overhaul period.

Kane said himself after the Manchester United result that the ability to drop deeper has always been a part of his game, so this could be seen more often in the coming weeks. Assists, as well as goals, could become synonymous with the addition of Kane into your Fantasy XI: the England striker is ranked fifth among Premier League players for key passes in 2020/21 and top for big chances created.

The most promising aspect coming out of the Overhaul is quite simply Spurs’ fixtures. Jose Mourinho’s side face West Ham, Brighton, Burnley and West Brom in their next four, which presents an opportunity for Kane to extend his gap at the top of the points chart.

Jack Grealish (£8.5m)

 1

You could have taken your pick of players from Aston Villa’s drubbing of champions Liverpool last weekend but Jack Grealish is the one who will bring you consistent averages, week on week. He was Villa’s highest point scorer in Fantasy Football last year and you should expect that stat to stay the same this term.

The English international posted an incredible 25 points against Liverpool, thanks to his two goals and three assists. This was after he scored against Fulham the week before and he had gone mightily close to doing likewise against Sheffield United, so again he is proving it on a consistent basis.

Grealish’s ownership figure (23.13%) makes him the fourth-most selected midfielder in the game, and for good reason. With fixtures against Leeds United, Southampton, Brighton and Hove Albion and West Ham United featuring in Villa’s next six and plenty of appealing matches beyond that point, Dean Smith’s side could build on their 100% start – and Grealish will be well placed to capitalise with more Fantasy points.

Karl Darlow (£6.2m)

The Newcastle shot-stopper’s man-of-the-match performance against Tottenham Hotspur was the highlight of the season so far from a goalkeeping perspective in Sky Fantasy. If there was a threshold for tier three save bonus points, Karl Darlow would have reached it, but earning a point for Steve Bruce’s side away at Tottenham will have done just fine.

Aside from this, Newcastle’s clean sheet on the opening day at West Ham landed Darlow with another eight points.

Despite his lowly price of £6.2m (only Illan Meslier (£6.1m) costs less among playing goalkeepers), Darlow is ranked second for points among Premier League custodians and he could be a potential bargain buy following the international break.

Although Newcastle face Manchester United, Wolves and Everton in their next three, you would still expect Darlow to register bonus points alongside a potential shock clean sheet.

The obvious caveat is that Martin Dubravka (£6.7m) isn’t expected to be sidelined for too long – but Darlow’s form is such (he has the best save percentage in the division) that the Slovakian may have a fight on his hands to reclaim his place.

James Rodriguez (£8.9m)

Much has been said about James Rodriguez since his arrival at Goodison Park, particularly within these Fantasy Football articles. The last time Rodriguez was mentioned, he had a goal and an assist to his name – fast forward the clock and the Colombian has now netted three goals and set up another two, collecting a pair of man-of-the-match awards in the process.

Rodriguez is the most-selected midfielder aside from big hitters Kevin De Bruyne and Bruno Fernandes, with 24.55% of Fantasy Football teams recruiting him thus far.

A Merseyside derby awaits Rodriguez next, so he will have to be at his very best after the long trip back from South America to keep his ownership percentage so high. Southampton and Newcastle follow, so there is as good a case as any to bring in and keep the silky midfielder in your team for weeks to come.

Ruben Dias (£9.1m)

You will not transfer in a better player, for the price of £9.1m, than Ruben Dias of Manchester City. Although there has been an abundance of shocks, goals and penalties so far this campaign, many forget that Ederson walked away with the Golden Glove in 2019/20, so there is no doubt that Manchester City will keep clean sheets again this year.

The signing of Dias from Benfica for £65m will bolster the sometimes frail defence of the Citizens, as Pep Guardiola identified the Portuguese international to be the final piece of the puzzle. Partnering Aymeric Laporte against Leeds, Dias looked composed and eager to impress on his debut.

As well as clean sheet potential, the possibility of attacking returns from set plays and likely passing bonus points furthers his appeal.

Dias twice got his head to the ball from corner-kicks at Elland Road and was unfortunate not to see one of those efforts nestle in the back of the net.


To leave you with one bit of general advice: your Overhaul team should be planned with the long-term fixture schedule in mind, with a couple of differentials and cheap picks thrown in to make all the difference in your mini-leagues.

      You have £3.4m ITB. Use some of it to get either DCL or James Rodríguez. Y

      1. Lignja
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Is it thst important this week since they play Liverpool?

        1. Nomar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          This the same Liverpool that just conceded 7 goals to Villa, no?

          1. Lignja
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Not sure it will hapen again any time soon tbh

            1. Sleep Talk
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Alisson won’t be back soon.

    2. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Can't really argue with the WC in your case. Otherwise you'll soon find yourself unable to field 3 defenders.

    3. Doctor Evil
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      How many times are you going to post this?

  2. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Best Combo ? 8th attacker and 4th/5th defender

    A) Soucek and Lamptey
    B) Klich and Ferguson/Mitchell

    1. Emiliano Sala
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      A long term

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      B gives you Leeds pens.

      However, Mitchell will probably lose his place soon (I own him myself).

      Tough one as A gives you 2 nailed ons but I like having a pen taker.

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Could just have Ferguson and wait for him to recover

        1. GreennRed
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          By the time he recovers Mitchell's price will cover him if he displaces Mitchell.

    3. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Brewster and Mitchell. Use the cash to make your 11 stronger.

    4. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Cheap, cheap and cheaper

      Squeeze the pennies and don't have too much dollas on the bench

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

      A

    6. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      8th attacker is a waste of money with anything above 4.5

  3. wslnpt

    3 years, 5 months ago

    Thoughts on this WC?

    McCarthy
    Ayling - Castagne - Chilwell

    Salah - Hamez - Son - Grealish - Barnes

    Kane - DCL

    (4.0 - Brewster - Mitchell - Kilman).

    2.2 ITB here.

    1. Nimby
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Your bench could do with a better playing defender at least.

      1. wslnpt
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Konsa in for Kilman then.

    2. HashAttack
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Prefer 3-4-3 .. Instead of Barnes+Brewster I went with Jorginho+Wilson but you could also do Klitch+Watkins

      Think this gives me a better 1st sub

    3. sandman58
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Downgrade Cas to Justin and try fit Bruno in for Barnes

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

    Does anyone know status of Bats in Palace lineup??

    Is he starting or going to start games ??

    1. Emiliano Sala
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Ayew is working fine there.

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

        Okay ...
        Thanks mate.
        Actually he's an option in a draft game. So ...
        Sighh

        Thanks !

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

        And from your team I'd drop Dias 🙂
        Sorry missed last question as was away

        1. Emiliano Sala
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Thanks. Personally prefer dias.
          And I can swap taa to richarlison without a change. Dias-richarlison needs a bit of surgery.
          Will get back TAA after 4 weeks. When alisson is back and they played everton-whu-city

    2. HashAttack
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      He's only good enough for Belgium !

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

        Ha

  5. GreennRed
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Is Coufal gonna be the Hammers nailed on right back?

    1. Nimby
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Definitely.

  6. Dwotle
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Thoughts on this WC draft?

    Martinez (Steer)
    Robbo Saiss Chilwell (Dallas Mitchell)
    Salah KDB Son Grealish (Bissouma)
    DCL Maupay Antonio

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Similarish to mine with Rodriguez for Dé Bruyne and Jimenez and Ings up front with DCL. Slight chance that Button will get gametime if West Brom defence keeps performing poorly.

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Looks strong, especially if Maupay and Antonio keep ticking.

    3. Dwotle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Cheers

    4. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Looks solid and as balance as it could!

    5. Who are all Lukakus
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Good team. I prefer Wilson over Antonio for the fixture - can easily switch when Westham get better fixture.
      And you might want another 4.0 keeper - having 3 Villa is not flexible, you may need Watkins later for example

    6. HashAttack
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      As above - best to get rid of Steer to keep a Villa slot open - I am in the same position and have just swapped him to Bailey Peacock-Farrell (back up to Pope)

      1. Dwotle
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Good point. Watkins is great value if he ticks along.

  7. SharkyJon
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    HELP!
    2FT but no idea what to do, happy ish with team and burning a transfer seems mad!
    Team:
    Martinez
    TAA, Saïss, Lamptey
    Salah, KDB, Son, Soucek
    Ings, Jimenez, DCL
    Subs
    Steer, Justin, Mitchell, Anguissa

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Any cash?

      Jimenez and Anguissa to Maupay and Grealish can work

      1. SharkyJon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        No cash, don’t fancy the benching headache of a decent front 8 as keen to play Soucek most weeks, tempted to do Ings to Maupay or Justin to another 4.5 as he has run out of useful ness after this week

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      TAA > Robbo if you are bored 😉 or doing crazy stuff Ings Jimenez> Kane Antonio ...

      1. SharkyJon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I guess TAA our could work but just feel I will get burned, quite like the Kane move though...something to ponder

  8. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Are people really surprised city have had a slow start? They have no striker and in addition to that bloody Foden, a kid who has nearly no experience, is a starter in their midfield... Next David Silva my bum..

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Foden is class. He’ll be fine.

      1. GreennRed
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Aguero missing is a big loss to City and Foden. Takes a lot of pressure off them. Himself, Dé Bruyne and Ederson are the only quality starters that'll do it in a big game.

      2. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        He's a kid with potential, nothing more. City will have no chance to win the league if he's in their starting 11 regularly

    2. Squires FC
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Foden has a fair bit of experience at this point. City do need another midfielder though i think.

    3. Pepeye
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I'm more surprised Utd and Liverpool were annihilated . Foden is fine, he is real class. Dias will seal most of City's gaps but they do need a striker and their injury record is appalling. Still see them in the top 2 in May

    4. Pepeye
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Foden a brilliant footballer. England certainty in 6 months time. Blotted his copybook along with Greenwood. Both are too good to leave out of the England team

  9. Ci Siamo
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Is Gibbs a starter for West Brom?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Draft game?

      1. Ci Siamo
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        No I just want to know

    2. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Not nailed but even if he was West Brom will leak goals. You're looking to McGyver a 4.4m defender in there? If it's a fifth defender get Mitchell if you don't have oran other 4m fodder and use the 0.4m elsewhere. Jamal Lewis looks a nice pick but might not be if all Toon defenders are fit.

      1. Dichio24
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Cooper at Leeds might be a better option

    Hey all,

    Mark and I recorded FPL BlackBox Episode 6 – The Comforts of Madness on Thursday night and there's lots of ways you can watch / listen if you missed it.

    The idea of FPL BlackBox is to reflect back on the mistakes we make during the season to try and become better managers.

      Watched this, nice stuff. The tabulated stats and KPIs are provoking, save me some times for analysis when life is on the way of FPL 😉

    2. Squires FC
      • 10 Years

      Really enjoying your box az, good stuff. Very insightful.

    3. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      It's a great pod Az. Don't let Ville/Sean/Lateriser/Joe with their team values rattle you. Team value or no team value, the bottom line is that they wasted their wildcard!

    4. Joey Tribbiani
      • 3 Years

      My favourite!

    5. Badluck Jonathan
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Great listen as always.

      Az, you hit the nail on the head talking about Brewster blocking the many other strikers you might want... course he could be gold but if it doesn’t work, it’s a real pain to get out of.

        pff it's Mark, he probably will be the next Harry Kane!
        Thanks for the kind words 🙂

    6. Silver_and_Gold
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Shot conversion rate spike linked with no fans seems to be the right hypothesis. Insightful set of data. Was a joy for me to watch Episode 6 on Saturday morning 🙂

      1. HashAttack
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Or that players have done a lot more shooting practice ... I think the no fans = no pressure is a very plausible reason

    7. BeWater
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I never listened to any FPL podcasts or followed any YouTube channels but this year I'm listening to loads. Let's Talk FPL, FPL Wire, Who Got The Assist, Fantasy Football Hub Podcast and FPL Tips. Have to say FPL BlackBox is my favourite! Doing a long run tomorrow so have been saving episode 6. Love listening to AZ and Mark. Great work guys.

  11. FPL ElasticO
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Who should you have on WC in rotation with McGinn??
    Need some opinion guys?

    A. Soucek
    B. March

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Why rotate? Takes up cash you an use elsewhere. McGinn and Bissouma and 0.5m.

    2. Squires FC
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Soucek

  12. smix
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    GTG on WC ? Planning to get in Kane for Jimi after 2 weeks:
    Martinez
    Chilwel Sa’iss Lamptey Sakho Coufal
    Salah Pulisic Son Grealish Zaha
    Jimi DCL Maupay

    1. Squires FC
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I like it. Zaha unsure though

    2. SharkyJon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Just play Soucek, points coming....

    3. King Kun Ta
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Maybe Ziyech instead of Pulisic?

  13. I Must Break You
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    I think what everyone is missing in the Son pricing sage is that he's currently roughly the same % ownership (28%) as when the season started. He had nearly 1.3M net transfers out after his GW3 "injury" and his price was locked from dropping. So now that he has 830,000 net transfers in this GW, he's just getting back up to where he started, when he was £9.0.
    From that point of view, we shouldn't be surprised at all that his price hasn't risen.

    1. The Big Fella
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      My take is, unless you are going to sell him, then his price changes are irrelevant and let's face it, nobody is going to be selling him short of a long-term injury

      1. I Must Break You
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        That too

      2. FPL Theorist
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        It's not irrelevant though. If he had gone up in price, it would make it more difficult for the latecomers (such as myself -- I'm not making any transfers until all internationals have been played) to get him in.

        If I'm still able to get him on Wednesday for 9,0, I'll have been very lucky indeed.

  14. abhirup780
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Best 4.0 ded to have long term?

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Mitchell.

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

      Ferguson

    3. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      No 4m defenders nailed

    4. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Brainwaithe

  15. noone
    • 6 Years

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years

          Nope, won't be able to afford without getting rid of Kevin De Bruyne.

    1. FPL ElasticO

      Downgrade Bruno >> Son & try to upgrade Justin ....

      1. FPL Theorist
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Agreed, just this move for this week for no hit, then can look to do something else next week.

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Wouldn't bring in Digne. Own him and planing to replace him soon.

      What is your TV? Great team.

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        100.4m with 0.8m itb

        1. bso
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years

          Good job. I don't have Sterling, but have Kane...otherwise similar. All the best.

          1. Dynamic Duos
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Cheers , gl

    2. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      You can keep that 11 and still have less money on the bench.

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Strong bench is important imo, especially in the current situation

        1. Evans
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Agree

  23. The Mandalorian

    Influence of no fans in the stadium on EPL:

    Less or little home advantage

    Players under less pressure are performing better especially those outside of last seasons top 4.

    Players from smaller clubs performing better against top clubs

    Liverpool, MUFC and Man City have all suffered big defeats from lesser apponents

    More goals being scored, fewer clean sheets

    Big teams scoring less points

    EPL maybe won with a lower points score, also competition for Europa and Champions league places maybe alot closer

    Feel free to disagree or add additional points

    1. Evans
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      It’s definitely having an impact but how much is hard to measure

    2. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I think the 'bigger' teams should get on top of this eventually. Liverpool definitely seem to suffer from the lack of a crowd either home or away. VAR and refereeing of penalty decisions are another factor. A defender can barely touch an attacking player in the box without fear of conceding a penalty. Could be a season like the Leicester win. Some players from so called bigger teams see their title ambitions ebb away and they stop trying while teams with less heart but more stomach for the fight will scrap it out for the league.

      1. FPL Theorist
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I doubt there will be a surprise winner like the Leicester season. One thing that has hurt the big clubs so far is making new signings very late, some of them after the season started. Compare that to a team like Brighton that signed Lallana and Veltman in the first week of the off-season, and then they were basically done with the window. Everton maybe not quite as much, but Rodriguez is playing for his favourite manager.

  24. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Martinez
    Robertson, Castagne, Lamptey
    Salah, KDB, Son, Podence
    Kane, DCL, Watkins

    Subs: Forster, Mitchell, Dunne, Reed

    What do you think of this squad going forward???

    1. Evans
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Template ish

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        This means good

        1. Evans
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Yeah nothing wrong with it

  25. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Pick 1
    A. Sterling
    B. KDB

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      A

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

      B

    3. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      B.

  26. Evans
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Choice between

    A) Robertson and 5.1 mid (4th midfielder)
    B) 5.1 def and Grealish

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Do you have Saiss and/or Zouma?

      1. Evans
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        No, but it would mean no Liverpool defender

        Team now is

        McCarthy
        Digne, Robbo, Walker Peters
        Salah, Son, Hamez, Podence
        Ings, Kane Jmimez

        4.0 gk, Bissouma, Mitchell, 4.0

        The plan is to Kane, Son, Jimenez, to Aguero , KDB, Antonio in GW10. Other than that open to transfers

        1. Dynamic Duos
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          One of them and Grealish i reckon

          1. Evans
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Good be right ...Liverpool going to be short of clean sheets whilst Alission is out

            I just asked another question because I saw Crystal Palace’s fixtures and would be a good diff

  27. Jässi
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Do you think Branthwaite will get playing time after his injury? Last season he played well if I remember correctly.

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Is he a CB?

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

      Not sure haven5 Everton jus5 bought anew CB

    3. Dichio24
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      5th choice, behind Mina, Keane, Holgate and Godfrey. So no

    4. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Get Mitchell? If Ferguson replaces him when he's fit it's an easy swap.

    5. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Waste of everton slot

    6. The Hunt
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      3.9m so could be a Godsend if you really need that 0.1m.

  28. I Must Break You
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Why is the GW4 captaincy poll still posted?

    1. Evans
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Because it’s an international break

      1. I Must Break You
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I need a bit more

        1. FPL Theorist
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          More polls would be a fun way to maintain engagement during these times. If they're not ready to post the new captain poll, maybe they could post something like, Are you wildcarding for GW5?

          Yes
          Maybe
          No, already used wildcard
          No, saving it until later

  29. Evans
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Another question

    Who will come out on top in the next six GW

    1> Grealish
    2>Zaha
    3> Robertson

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I'm going with 1 and 3 , but it is going to be very close with these 3

  30. The Train Driver
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Any hidden gems in CL fantasy?

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      None so far TD. But something to think about tonight. MD3 used to be a good week to wildcard, get some of the bigger clubs home and way in MD3 and 4 against the group fodder teams. Though those games are less predictable this season.
