  1. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Salah highest EO ever surely

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      199%

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Triple Captains in DGWs cause EOs bigger than 200%

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Ah ok I guess highest for a SGW then

  2. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    I don't even own him, but I hope Havertz outscores Salah this week. Would be so funny if Salah blanked and Havertz got 15.

  3. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Andy Let’s Talk FPL (not transfers) has taken a hit to sell Azpil & Rapha - genius or just believing his own hype ? 🙂

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Fomo imo.

      Just really wanted Chilwell and Foden.

      1. ‘Tis the Season
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Good call if that’s true

      2. fusen
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        It's FOMO but also covering his bases.

        To maintain the good rank you do need to play a bit boring and use EO to your advantage.

    2. Gunneryank
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I'm cooling a bit on Raph myself as Leeds have looked so crap. May downgrade him to afford Chilly or some such.

    3. FOO FIGHTER
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Brought in Foden and Chilwell who both have higher celings.

    4. ‘Tis the Season
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Did Ralph to foden and Alonso to chilly myself

    5. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Horrible move imo. Once you start chasing bandwagons you're always 1 week behind and climbing will be difficult.

    6. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      well here is the swing if Andy had just held his position and done nothing

      Azpil - 6 points off the bench for Livra
      Rapha - TBA

      Hit -4
      Chilwell +8
      Foden +2

      … so zero overall change with Rapha to play.

      (so much for the Foden high ceiling 😉 )

  4. Smokey_Lowkey
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Piercing benching headache next week...

    Need to bench 3 from:

    A) Duffy (NEW)
    B) Livra (AVL)
    C) Saka (WAT)
    D) Raph (LEI)
    E) Antonio (LIV)
    F) Hwang (cpl)

    Secretly hoping injuries make the decision more straightforward...

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Like the word of the use piercing, very visceral

      Bench the 2 defs and maybe Hwang

      Think we all hope that forces outside of our control make our decisions for us

  5. Andy_Social
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    I'm very satisfied with my squad. Got up to 5K OR, but I don't see any real way forward now. Nearly all the transfers in I'm seeing are for players I've got - I'm really only lacking Son and Harvertz among popular picks. So whatever happens, my score will be much the same as everyone else. Gonna be really hard to significantly gain rank now.

    1. ‘Tis the Season
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Well done Andy mate

    2. fusen
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Surely going off what you've said the only way is to target the fixture swings. Someone like Son isnt a very popular pick, or go for Kane etc.

      Also the current form players will dip off sooner or later. Mount was not an option and now is, Benrahma was a staple and now isn't. Lots of change to come

      1. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        I'm not going to take reckless risks by going for differentials for the sake of it - that's what chasers need to do. The art will be in spotting the up-and-coming sorts, and jettisoning winners as they are about to take a dive. After Sarr, my next transfer could conceivably be Antonio. I'm not ready to lose him yet, but if he dries up I'd want to hop off a week or two ahead of the masses. Just this week I sold Duffy - he's done me proud, but my hunch is he's peaked.

      2. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Not that easy though. When our squads are heavily comprised of City, Chelsea and Liverpool assets, there are no fixture-swings as such. Finessing CWC and AFCON will be interesting though.

    3. Smokey_Lowkey
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      In a similar boat myself, maybe the case for a few weeks, but surely ACN followed by B/DGW etc. will mix things up. Until then keep the ship as steady as possible...

    4. Gunneryank
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Not falling is hard at that rank though and deserves a mention. You're still better placed to make a run than most though, surely? Well played.

      1. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        I'e taken a couple of nasty tumbles - from OR 500 to 22K in GW5, and down to 36K a couple of weeks ago, but I'm a bit Chumbawumba at the moment. Still, if it's tricky to rise much, it's harder to fall too much either if we've all got the same captaincy and squads.

  6. fusen
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    It's not exactly a new opinion on here but the 'FPL social content' growth is absolutely killing most of my leagues.

    In leagues where the last couple of years there's be like 10% doing 'sensible' FPL community picks, there is now probably 50-60% of the league all targeting whoever Let's Talk FPL or the official FPL twitter account is pushing through their "expert opinion" tweets.

    Just one big template for every single player

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Old man yells at cloud

      1. fusen
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Grampa Simpson wasn't pointing out the obvious though was he?

  7. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    What do folks think of Rodgers as next utd manager

    Having given it some thought I reckon whilst he's not Alex Ferguson, he would be such a step up from Ole it would be ridiculous

    Could you imagine where Leicester would be if Ole had been in charge the last 2 years like?

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

      Especially if he brought Tielemans with him

    2. ‘Tis the Season
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      He does idealize sue Alex. Remember the brown envelope gag on that Liverpool short doc film

      1. ‘Tis the Season
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Sir Alex lol

    3. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Probably the best long-term option out there - better than Conte. I reckon he'd accept.

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

        Yeah the game isn't exactly coming down with good managers

        Rodgers is the best available - prefer him to conte or the ajax lad

        Although

        In fairness to conte - there's a part of me that wants nothing more than to see that squad put in the hands of a sad-masochist fitness freak like Conte

        Would be poetic justice to see them crying & vomiting from his training sessions as he whoops them into shape

    4. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Do a good job. Maybe he could send Harry back

      Wouldn't mind Conte either, problem is that the set up at Utd outside of the coach. Chelsea and City are set up to roll on with a change of manager, but Utd have to start again every time.

    5. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I think you have underestimated how happy Brendan is at Leicester and how much he believes in the project. He isn't leaving for anywhere.

      Things continue on current trajectory then Leicester will be a bigger draw than Utd in 3/4 years time anyway.

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

        Not saying he's going, more asking how folks think he'd do if he did go

        Utd is a poisoned chalice at the minute

      2. Bennerman
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        I think you underestimate the draw of United.

        To paraphrase Gordon McQueen, 99% of players of asked would say they'd love to join Man United. The other 1% are liars.

        1. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          The same Gordon McQueen who played for Utd for 8 years, back in the 80s, aye?

          I don't support either team, but there is a delicious irony in Utd laughing at Liverpool for their cloying nostalgia (rightly) only to basically become what they laughed at.

          1. Bennerman
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Yeah, that big Gordon.

            United aren't where Liverpool were just yet, let's be fair - they were waiting from 1999 to win the league.

            United went through that 1968-1993. Won't be that long again, I'm sure.

  8. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    I see Mark chose Jota on his WC. And a strong bench too.

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      How stupid.

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Ouch. The Jota pick or expensive bench?

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          The Jota pick. Theirs so many options at the moment and he’s gone for someone everyone knows gets rotated. Bored of that guy.

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I agree with Mark that if you want to gain from Salah, you need someone like Jota too.

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Robertson is nailed

      2. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Understand the logic, but still feels wrong

  9. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    What players do you have for this week that are under 20% EO?

    For me, I only have Kane and James that fit that bill.

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Sarr+Jota

    2. Agent J
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Auba + Saka + Foster

    3. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Salah

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Oh you said 20% not 200% 😉

    4. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Of the starters, only Sarr - and I'm intending to sell him for Mbeumo next transfer.

    5. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Kane, havertz and Townsend (lol)

    6. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Azpi, Benrahma, Kane, Rodrigo (1-week punt)

    7. Bury94
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Dias, Christensen and Jota

    8. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Not sure of their precise EOs but I imagine they are fairly low:

      Kane
      Son
      Sarr
      ESR
      Livramento?

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Livra is 41% but the other 4 fit the bill, yeah.

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Cool

    9. ritzyd
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Guita, Azpi & Auba

    10. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Guaita, James, ESR, Gray, Ronaldo (6% haha)

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Ronaldo at 6% is really nice! I think he could be great this week.

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          I'm sceptical. Just removing him involving a hit felt wrong. Managed to bank the FT for a big restructure next week. I hope Ronaldo gives me something to think about, but probably not.

    11. fusen
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      You're basing this off the top 10k EO though right? Not the EO of players from users around the same rank.

    12. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Sa Bruno Gray Ings

    13. People in Preston
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Dias + Son

    14. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      James, Cucurella, Son, Broja, Allan

    15. Rassi
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Schmeichel, Sarr, ESR, Kane

    16. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Only James and Hwang who I got this week.

      Next week will be a fun one though, lots of low ownership, including getting to unleash 0.15% Maupay lol. If he bags a hattie...

    17. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Sa, Gray, Saka, Auba

  10. have you seen cyan
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    For Aubas next trick, a hattrick but only 9 points, how will he do it?

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

      Missed penalty scores from rebound, booked for removing shirt in celebration

      Scores own goal

      Misses another penalty
      Scores 2 goals

      Sent off for dodgy tackle late on

      1. tiger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Definitely watching that match

      2. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Sounds probable lol

  11. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Salah 199.17% top 10k ownership. Staggering.

    1. Agent J
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Imagine a no show and VC doing jugglery with ranks

    2. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Looking forward to that 1% gain of every point he gets

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Oh no, you’ll gain ground down at your rank.

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Woohoo!

    3. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Within those 10K his score is effectively irrelevant. Perhaps a chance for some of those in the 10K to 50K range to catch up if he has an off day.

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah completely.

  12. ritzyd
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    With Salahs crazy EO would love a no show just to get some variance from all the VC's!

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      There is not even a 1% chance of that happening.

      1. PartyTime
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Except he gets injured during warm up?

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Nope. No chance, he doesn’t do injuries.

    Ha! Took Smith-Rowe out of my WC last minute so I could change James to Rudiger.
