Callum Wilson (£7.5m) comes into the 2021/22 season as one of several promising mid-priced forwards between £7.0m and £8.5m.

As Fantasy Premier League managers look to this bracket for their savings in a campaign set to center around very expensive midfielders, we have examined Wilson’s appeal since joining Newcastle.

      too much money in GK.

      i do not like not having an 8m striker because its an important price point - you are 2 transfers away from getting in DCL/Bambam/Martial/Ings if they start off strong

      1. Zimo

        Ok thankyou! 🙂

    Not many are considering City assets, why is that?

      It's June - I wouldn't take any serious notice of what anyone is saying at the moment.

        Agreed

    2. Holmes

      Expensive

      Basically it is a lottery and the fact Liverpool, Everton, and Man United have such nice fixtures on paper makes little sense to get Man City this early. I am bit tempted by Mahrez though at some stage.

    Hi all! So I've started a Zombie League this year and will try to make it the biggest one yet.

    I also have a twitter account (link on profile) and trying to get it off the ground now.

    For anyone not sure how it works, create a new team and you're not allowed any transfers, chips or captain changes for the entire season. It's just a set and forget dead team!

    League code: uw9o5d

      Having more than one team is against the rules, no?

      1. Holmes
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        You can create a team for your dog or cat

        1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          I have no pets

          1. Wheyyyy
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            You should definitely get a pet

      2. Wheyyyy
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Just create one under your partners/pets name and you're good to go!

      3. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…

        You could consider having a few kids to give them teams. But that should have been planned around 6 months ago it is a bit late now. You will have wait for next season.

    2. LarryDuff

      I really don't see the point sorry

      1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
        • 11 Years

        Dude is going to chuck in £100 first prize

        1. Wheyyyy
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Haha yeah £100 first prize will get people running!

      2. Wheyyyy
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Well i guess it's just a way of adding something unique to the season. It's always spoken about how high up some dead teams are ranked so if everyone puts in a purposely created dead team, it will be interesting to follow!

  4. LarryDuff
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Captain Jota Greizman or G.Moreno?

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Greizmann

      1. LarryDuff
        • 10 Years

        Cheers mate

  5. Sterling Archer

    France will need the win so they can avoid the mighty english, time for Mbappe to step up! think im myt switch the captaincy off KDB's 6 points and go for it with Mbappe.

    1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 11 Years

      Fortune favours the brave - good luck!

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      1-0 will do the job

    3. ivantys
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      England is an easy game for them and an easier half

    4. El Presidente
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Whichever team comes out of that group, England is out.

  6. amplifiedAnt
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Very thankful that Perisic has ended this week's captain hunt.

    Purely for fun, who do we think will score more points from Gosens, Gnabry and Havertz (as I have all 3)?

    Think I would've wanted to put it on Gosens, but being the last day I'd probably have bottled that and gone Gnabry.

    1. Wheyyyy
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Currently have it on Havertz as a punt today!

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Havertz, though I wouldnt change the captaincy...

      1. amplifiedAnt
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, not a chance on that. I didn't have an awful lot of faith in a Perisic haul, so was delighted with it!

    3. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 17 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Havertz I think he looks lively.

    Anybody else had an issue where their Euro Fantasy team has just disappeared? When log in it is just at the initial pick team stage?

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Nope

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years

      Mine is working fine.

    3. Gazwaz80
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      There’s 2 apps you can get your team on, the EURO app and the UEFA game app, try and download the other one to see if you can rescue your team…

    4. artvandelay316
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I did momentarily. I logged out, closed app and then logged in again. It was ok then.

  8. lawsy009
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Best captaincy choice out of the following..

    Alba, Gosens, Havertz, Gnabry, Mbappe?

    Any help much appriciated.

    1. Red Red Robins
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Ha. Exactly the same list as mine. Had kdb.

      Thinking gnabry but only as he's due. Think havertz maybe

      1. lawsy009
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Ha ha! Brilliant. Yeah I compared Havertz and Gnabry on comparison tool for these EUROs and Havertz is way out in front. Currently leading his direction.

        1. Red Red Robins
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          It's either havertz or gnabry.
          Muller out so sane could be in so with Havertz getting more central could be better.

          Honestly I'm so stuck on this haha. In going havertz

      2. PompeyUpNorth!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I think Gnabry will do a Depay so I’m thinking him

        1. Red Red Robins
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Gnabry due defo. But havertz was getting into good positions

          1. PompeyUpNorth!
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            I don’t disagree that he’s due as well but don’t forget he’s on a yellow so one more and he’s banned. Strong chance of him being pulled off when ahead perhaps? Whereas Gnabry more guaranteed 90? May be wrong but food for thought

            1. Red Red Robins
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Very very very good point. Hadnt even thought to look at that.
              Gnabry it is then.

              1. PompeyUpNorth!
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 13 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                No problems

    What does the word "ratio" means when used on social media?

    Aware of mathematical "ratio" but not sure about the social media one 😀

    1. Az
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      It means the reply has or will get more likes than the original post 😀

      1. MJF
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Kids these days.

      2. @persecuted_by_mods
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Ratio 🙂

      3. Holmes
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Stupid me, that was simple! 😀

    2. MJF
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Keep seeing that as well! Just people replying saying “ratio” and nothing else. It doesn’t detract any from the notion of Twitter being a cess pit. It’s like having a conversation with a group of people on coke all just loving the sound of their own voice.

    3. @persecuted_by_mods
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I believe it means, my response will get more likes/retweets than the original post

      The rebuttal doesn't need explanation either other than being understood as a disagreement

      E.g

      Person A "rashford is better than Saka"

      Person Bs response "ratio"

      A full stop is also used in place of the word ratio

        Just came across this

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

      It basically means you got one over on the other person.

      Basically happens when the person no intelligent reply so regurgitates the same old crap on every social media post

  10. Bambi
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Really liking the look of Sarr at 6.0. Good fixtures and he is the big fish at Watford

    1. ☈☾
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Would you go for Toney over Sarr?

      1. 3 A
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I get both in my 2nd draft. Feels good...

    2. ivantys
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I can't convince myself to pick him when Harrison is same price.

  11. Disco Stu
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Gnabry or Gosens today to replace KDB as Captain?

    1. Peter Ouch
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Haha same dilemma.
      Kdb C now but I have Gnabry Havertz and gosens

      1. Disco Stu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I have the same three. I kind of like Gosens for a clean sheet and at least 1 assist. That beats one goal for Serge or Kai

  12. Peter Ouch
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Gnabry or Havertz for C?

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

    How are we all doing rank wise in Euro fantasy?

    I have 172 points at 73k overall, with Gosens and Havertz to play today and wildcard still for later on.

    Had a good first week but awful second week. Good week again this week to pull it back a bit.

    Where are you aiming to finish? Got any chips left?

    What is your strategy for the knockout rounds?

    I'm possibly going to have 3 Italian defenders in the next round. Then possibly play wildcard at quarters or semis.

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I guess top 1k will be a good finish but I dont have any chips left, so top 50k will do the job.

      Strategy is to go all out on teams which play easier games and avoid double or triple ups in other games.

      Italy for now, will get 4 players. Only one from Wales vs Denmark.

    2. Joey Tribbiani
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      33k before subbing 5 points off today, 6 players left today. WC and LL used.
      2nd matchday ruined my chances of getting really good rank

      1. Joey Tribbiani
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Playing risky, not really caring if it goes wrong because I have a lot of other predictions and money bets on the line for euros

    3. Boom XhakaLacaSaka
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Will likely triple up on the winners of group F too they seem to have a nice knockout faze

    4. LSK
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      209 points. Ranked at 2043 with 5 to play today.

      No chips remaining so I’m picking players and teams who I think will go far.

      First four defenders are set in stone, Kimmich and Berardi will be in due to their price. Probably go KDB over Lukaku, Greizmann up front. Hoping Spain go through as they have some cheap options.

    5. amplifiedAnt
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Currently at 200, placed #6707.

      Gosens, Havertz, Gnabry and P. Torres to play today.

      No chips left, so I'll need to be slightly cautious with Round of 16 picks.

      Top 5k would do me very nicely.

    6. Salarrivederci
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      203 points and no chips left.

      Gonna be down to 193 after I sub out 10 points.

      Lewandowski, Morata, Gosens, Puchacz & Simón left to play

  14. Westfield Irons ⭐️
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Current captain is on 7 points, so 14 total so far.
    Do I twist for Gnabry? Could he get more than one goal?
    When I do my subs I'll have 59 points with Torres brothers, Gnabry and Goosens to come, so kind of happy with Matchday3, which puts me of moving armband. Thoughts please? Stick or Punt?

    1. JJeyy
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I’m going for Havertz

      1. JJeyy
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        On 6 points currently

  15. JJeyy
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Apparently Pau Torres is getting benched today, I assume it’s because he’s on a yellow

    1. Westfield Irons ⭐️
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      that would be a shame

  16. jason_ni
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Long story short, I'm due to get a massive(for me) win if Spain and France can win their groups.

    Spain maybe looks the least likely, that pen miss on sat was a heart breaker!

    Options are:
    A) stick it out, pick up 1.1k if it happens
    B) can cash out now for about 360.
    C) can leave it as is, and if neither win tonight, I'll pick up a minimum 100,be a bit more if 1 of them win.

    What would you do?!

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      C since you will get something out of it.

      Are A and C different or same scenario with different output?

      1. jason_ni
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        They are all the same, basically its a lucky 63( had never heard of it) but I picked all group winners, and it covers loads of others, like singles, doubles etc.
        Should say the initial outlay was 160, so c probably means I'd lose 60, rather than make 100 if that makes sense.

    2. ☈☾
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      B

    3. Dr. Rog
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      cash out to the extent that you cover your initial bet. run the rest.
      by the sounds of C you are already covered anyway.

    4. BrutalLogiC
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      B seems clesr to me although would want to know what I get if Spain don't win group and France do win group

  17. Silecro
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Bench one:

    A) Alba (svk)
    B) Gosens (hun)
    C) Havertz (hun)
    D) Lewa (swe)

    1. Red Star Toro
      • 11 Years

      Alba, just

  18. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Sanchez
    TAA, Stones, Digne, Cresswell
    Salah, Fernandes,Jota, Raphina
    DCL, Watkins

    How about this as a starting 11?

    1. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Sanchez
      TAA, Stones, Digne, Cresswell
      Salah, Fernandes, Grealish, Raphina
      DCL, Watkins

      Sorry Grealish not Jota

      1. Soto Ayam
        • 6 Years

        Looks good

    2. 3 A
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Sometimes Stones and Jota play, sometimes they just sit and watch the game peacefully.

      U just have 9 players then.

  19. Ksimparomenos
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Any possible 4m starters this year? especially from promoted clubs?

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Too early to see yet. Wait and see pre-season friendlies, injuries, players rested etc

      Hopefully a keeper and a 5th defender.

  20. Tcheco

    Any word on the German lineup today? Presume it's safe to say Gosens, Gnabry, and Havertz all start?

    1. LSK
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Can’t see many unenforced changes after beating Portugal 4-2 and still needing to get a job done tonight.

      1. gart888

        Yeah, I'm inclined to agree. Thanks.

  22. ☈☾

    1. farmerfat

      Bruno and Joao Pedro

      1. ☈☾

        Pedro won't play all the games, will he?

        1. farmerfat
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          He played most games last season, besides for when he was injured. I think he is Watford's 2nd most exciting player behind Sarr. Could be a risky pick but could also be a bargain at 5.5

  23. More Cowbell

    Howdy y'all,

    What the deal if I sub out Dumfries (1pt) and then P Torres doesn't play today? Does Dumfries get subbed back in? Or will I just get 0 for Torres?

      Just wait until the lineup is announced.

    Did FPL towers removed Jack Harrison from game? Cant find him in either name search or through club listed players. And I know he was there yesterday with 6.0 price...sure as hell hope they arent recalibrating his price

    My first draft. What do you think?

    Sanchez Söndergaard
    TAA Shaw Digne Lamptey Sierralta
    Bruno Mount Raphinha Almiron Bissouma
    Kane DCL Watkins

    0 ITB

      Well if England stays in the European World Cup for much longer chances are, that your forward line is sippin' Daiquiris in the Seychelles Islands with Shaw and Mount come GW1.

      1. ivantys
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        They won't, will get knocked out next round.

        1. Salarrivederci
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Even so. That's 6 weeks combined vacation, and pre-season. I'll bet you that all 5 of those won't be matchfit in GW1

          1. merin
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            It's just a first draft based on the information we have now. It's all subject to change as we get closer to the GW1 deadline, ofc.

      Is this a reliable source? I can read Spanish to work out who he is lol

      1. More Cowbell

        Can't*

    3. Holmes

      Good good, highly owned defenders arent starting.

    4. JJeyy
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      It’s one of the two teams in training so some of this players could change. Though Gaya was always gonna play one of the group games so he will likely start.

      1. Pukki Blinders
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        It’s a must win for Spain though, think they should be playing their best team which does not include Azpi, Garcia nor Gaya

          No Rodri & Koke is also suprising.

            Tweet says that Luis Enrique tried this team out this morning, it is not the definitive lineup.

      I subbed him in for a 2 pointer already. Hope he gets gametime at some stage.

    How are UEFA deciding who plays which 3rd place team eg official site says Holland play 3rd in Groups D/E or F... how they deciding which one?

    Who to tranfer Gosens in for?

    a) P Torres (benched)
    b) Dumfries (1 point)

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A, wait till lineuos

    2. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A.
      Dumfries can't get more than 1 point.

    Not sure if reported here already but Luuk De Jong is out for the rest of Euro 2020.
    Which makes Malen the only sub for Weghorst and Depay

    1. Pascal
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Weghorst is the only sub for Malen and Depay, the trio Gini/Memphis/Malen got a lot of praise and Weghorst will only come of the bench when Holland are behind, such is the general concensus in Holland.

    How is this team?

    Sanchez
    TAA Maguire Tierney Dunk
    Salah Bruno Bowen
    Watkins DCl Nacho

      I like the Bowen pick one I did not consider. I am curious why you have gone Dunk instead of Lamptey though.

      I assume the 1.5m in the bank is to make changes for value players that arise during the first few weeks.

      1. Totalfootball
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yes 1.5 is for that!
        Dunk is captain, will play 90,got 5 goals last term, can still change though

        1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
          • 17 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          It looks very solid on paper Ineanacho could be a question mark, but I assume he pushing for starts most games now. I assume the bench is very weak though. I planned a similar team to yours 3-4-3 except nothing in the bank or on the bench. All in double livepool defence etc
          Your approach seems more prudent with the 1.5m in the bank.

          1. Totalfootball
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            What are your 4 midfielders?

            1. Totalfootball
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              I m guessing you went toney for the 3rd spot

            2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
              • 17 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Whoops sorry I meant I created an initial 4-3-3 draft with

              Sanchez
              Tierney-TAA-Roberston-Shaw
              Saka- Fernandes- Salah
              Antonio-Wilson-Iheanacho

              With nothing on the bench two 4.5 mids and a 4.0 defender and GK.

              But for some reason I did not really like the look of it. Maybe I am blinded by how I was stung two years ago. When I went treble liverpool defence v Norwich - Alisson got injured and liverpool conceded worse still I captained TAA

              --

              So I have now swtiched to a way more balanced squad

              I might take a risk on getting Henderson - If I do not I will get Shaw instead of Ayling.

              Henderson (foster)
              -
              Lamptey-TAA-Tierney (Ayling-Omobamidele)
              -
              Trossard-Fernandes-Saka-Salah (Raphinha)
              -
              Watkins-Joao Pedro-DCL
              -

              Mainly because I became very tempted by the value and variety in the 6.5m midfielders.

              Initially I did think of getting Toney in a 3-4-3 like you suggest. But I am not sure about him and would prefer to use that 1m on the 6.5m mids. It all hinges on whether Joao Pedro is a starter. I did a bit of research and he is very versatile, had a good season and can play on the wing or upfront.
