    Best option?

    Sanchez
    TAA, Shaw, Coufal +

    A. Fofana+Holgate/White
    B. Lamptey+Ayling
    C. Justin+4.0

    Supposing all fit and White goes to Arsenal…

      If Justin starts off like he did last term he’s straight in my team

        Not sure if he will be fit, but we shall see that…

    Options

    A. Tierney and Barnes

    Or

    B. Fofana and mount

    Thanks

    1. LegendMoon

      I’d be very tempted with A, not too lean on Fofana but I seem to be the only one round here to think that!

      1. Andy_Social

        Fofana is so clearly 0.5 under-priced, hence the temptation.

    Whats your best tip for a decent start in FPL?

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Pick the right players?

    2. LegendMoon
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Cover the big players and big teams, don’t pick too many euro championship players initially pick ones who have had a good rest- TAA, Maddison/Barnes/ Watkins etc , don’t go too differential

    3. LAMELA_AND_CONSUELA

      It is very simple. Build your squad with 7 or 8 most owned players in the game and find respectively 3 or 4 differentials, who score big in first three weeks. It is very simple:)

      Hack a account that's doing well and take it for yourself.

      I don't know if it would work or not, but I have this crazy idea that you could skip week one to see how every team lines up. Then jump on ALL the early bandwagons.

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

        But you're missing out on like 60-80 points that way

        1. Dthinger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          I think you could make it up

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

          Oh no wait. The game just gives u average points for GW1 doesn't it ?

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

            If this is true could be a valid strategy

            FPL doesn't. You just get zero.
            Better to take enough hits in GW2 to get all the players you want.
            Or play an early wildcard in GW2.

            GW1 points + GW2 points - GW2 hit points should be greater than GW2 points on their own.
            Even if you change your entire squad, that only costs 14*4=56 hit points.
            You should expect to score than 56 in GW1 (you could even set up your squad to Bench Boost in GW1 and then replace most of them for GW2), and you probably won't need to change all 15 of your players anyway.

              this is true. I hadnt thought of that

      2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Why skip the gameweek when it would “only” cost you 40 points to hit an entire new XI in GW2?

    6. Joey Tribbiani

      Sort players by ownership%, pick those.

    Any good football on today?

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      That was yesterday.
      Now if you want BAD football ......

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

        😛

        14 x goals in two games yesterday, no including penalties.

        We’ll be luck to get four goals today….

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

    Who are you most likely to select as your 4.5 goalkeeper(s)?
    Sanchez, Raya, Bachmann, Guaita, Dubravka, McCarthy, Krul.

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Definitely Sanchez for me, but as backup to a 5.0. Still deciding between Pickford and Henderson.

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Was all set on Sanchez, but White moving means I might just swerve Brighton defence now (or maybe punt on Lamptey)

      Watford kept 23 clean sheets last season, including 14 in 23 home games so Bachmann has the jersey for me at the minute, plus his 4.0 backup in Foster

  7. Charlie Price

    Anyone actually avoided the carnage of Netherlands & France going home early? Can only manage 6 players at best myself in QFs. Looking at multiple hits or hoping to muster enough points with 8 - 9 players.

    1. King Kohli
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Currently on 6 players + KDB, hoping Sweden win to give me a gk.

      Will likely just use FTs and not bother with hits as the players you bring in for a hit could easily be knocked out

    2. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I only had one player from those teams. However, I got the Denmark/Wales match WAY wrong so I have three Wales players to get rid of. And I have three Sweden players, so I'm leaning towards wildcard

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

      I think it’ll be hard to predict who is going to score more than 4 points so I don’t think hits are worthwhile. I have 3 French, 4 Dutch, KDB and Berardi but will probably just use my 3 transfers and hope for the best.

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

    I had a dream England won on penalties against Germany and then i realized it was a dream so I woke up.

  9. Charlie Price
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone still holding a wildcard right now is way ahead of the game. Well done to all those who didn’t follow the template of LL in GW2 followed by WC in GW3.

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

      Does still depend how well the wildcards are used, mind.

      I was feeling pretty down about my lack of wildcard yesterday, though am taking a slightly different view on things now.

      262 points in the bag and inside the top 9k; yes, my rank will inevitably take a hit in the QFs. But equally it's a lot of points to have in hand.

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

      Only if they have a high rank or are ahead in their mini leagues - whichever they care about most. No good having chips if you’re already too far behind.

  10. Eze Really?
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    If anyone interested England have played Germany 32 time and so far it is 13 wins 6 draws 13 losses. England scoring 7 goals more than Germany. Not such a bad record as everyone seems to think.

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

      Bad mouthing England is a way to keep expectations in check. That way you're not as disappointed if they lose but pleased if they win

      It should be with the way the draw is …….. but it probably won’t

  12. 03farmboy
    • 7 Years

    Sterling or Mount?

  13. KGFC

    Just hoping for Gosens to start!

      1. KGFC

        Yeah just saw...!!!

  14. Simon69

    Worth switching (c) from Sarabia to Forsberg? Currently on 52 points

  15. Life_Ban

    Hypothetically if you didn't have a BBC TV licence, how would you watch the England game at home???

    1. People in Preston
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I'd probably make Google my friend and ask "Where can I watch England v Germany free online?". Hypothetically.

    2. Jafooli
      • 14 Years

      Hypothetically 😀

      I’m using the Live Now app and it’s been brilliant for games so far. Paid about $100 for access to all games live. Or you can pay $10 for one game.

  16. KGFC
    • 9 Years

    Gosens starts... wohoooo!!!!

    Grealish, Foden, Mount benched

    Sterling and Saka start

  17. People in Preston
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    I'm as pessimistic about England's chances as normal. Big jingoistic press build-up, shite performance on the pitch.

    But living in Germany and talking to my German footie mates, they don't feel as confident about the match as usual.

    Even German telly are currently bigging up the England team.

    It's a strange one.

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years

      Sympathy?

      1. People in Preston
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        More like self-deprecation.

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      They needn't worry with the team Southgate has picked.

      1. People in Preston
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yeh, just seen the line-ups. The big advantage for England is Werner is leading the line. (I'm a Chelski).

  18. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Too much fun had watching football yesterday, Southgate bringing us back down to earth.

    His plan would want to work sacrificing all that attacking talent...

  19. KGFC
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Feel Germany will be all over England in the midfield. Very defensive tactics from GS.

    Germany front three - Muller, Kai and Werner
    England front three - Kane, Raz and Saka

  20. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    So England are starting with three attacking players, of which one plays in defence for his club?

    So Sterling & Kane up top, everyone else in defence?

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

      to me this is hilarious.
      and not at all surprising.
      was hoping when it came out Saka would start that it meant as a wing back, but ultimately it was always going to be this way.

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

      2-0 Germany

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

        1-0 england to me

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

          GK - 8 - 0 - 2 formation is interesting

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

            well i know you're being obtuse but it's effective a 3-4-3 going forward and a 5-4-1/5-2-3 in defense.

            which is pretty normal

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

              Would have preferred to see Henderson start over Sterling, then it’s a decent team…

              1. Dthinger
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 9 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                to make it even more defensive?

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

                  😉

                • 16 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                Honestly suprised he didn’t go the full hog and play Henderson in place of Saka or Sterling

                He’ll probably do that next time around if they get through though

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

                  Each round add a defender, remove an attacker….genius 😛

  21. Old Man
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Just logged in after a few weeks rest. What do peeps think of that team - it looks particularly unenterprising to me - quite negative.

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

      The bench looks awesome - Grealish, Foden, Mount, Sancho, Rashford, Bellingham, James.

      As Chelsea Twitter feed said - not a single Champions League winner in the team 😮

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I don’t know how he gets away with it - if Allardyce or Woy Hodgson started with these defensive teams the media would be screaming at them

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

        He’s an FA poodle, perfect for what they want……..

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

      i completely understand why they're set up like that.

      i don't understand why people are surprised.

    4. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      It's the exact one I wanted, so happy. Trippier and Shaw will push up to make a front 5 in the attacking phase.

      But in knockout football it's defences that win trophies. Just look at what Chelsea did in the Champion's League this season, what Portugal did last Euros, and how Jose won all those cups... Defence.

      We have the attacking talent to sneak a goal, but we need to condense the space at the back.

  22. Milk, 1 Šuker

    De Boer resigns. Not a surprise.

  23. EmreCan Hustle

    Stick with Mbappe(c) or twist to Forsberg? I might just stick.

    45 points. Forsberg and Danielsson to go.

    Thoughts?

    Thanks.

    1. EmreCan Hustle

      Mbappe 10 points.

    2. Flaming Flamingo

      I'd stick

  24. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

    If Southgate had any balls he’d have one of Grealish, Foden, Mount, Sancho or Rashford in for one of Walker or Trippier

    He’s such a coward with all those defenders and two DMs

    1. CBonci
      • 10 Years

      Playing not to lose- poor decision

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        5x defenders & two DM’s… when they have a squad full of gifted attackers

        They have to be sick of it by now in the dressing room

      2. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        none of them would make sense as replacements for a defender or wingback, but in place of a holding mid....surely Mount is a better option than Phillips. And I think Rashford is a better choice than Saka in a front three.

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 16 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Obviously not to play the attacker as a defender 😆

          Playing 4x defenders and one DM is plenty, go two DM’s if you’re really afraid

          But 5x defenders AND 2x DM’s?

          Ridiculous when you look at the talent he has, he gets such an easy time from the press for this

          1. Dthinger
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            I can see him wanting to play two holding mids if the wingbacks are particularly attacking (James and Saka maybe) but Shaw and Tripper are not. They are pretty much standard fullbacks.

            I notice no one is complaining about Mings being benched, which I think is really dumb. He's been a bright spot for England in my view. I'd much rather see him in the side than Walker.

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      • 14 Years

      Its like how Deschamps started with Lenglet last night and was then forced to bring in Coman.

  25. My heart goes Salalalalah

    1. Jafooli

      I’ve gone with Forsberg, because I’m having an awful GW and have to gamble….

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      • 14 Years

      I might stick. 45 points. With the way things are going, I'll just hold what I have.
