We at Fantasy Football Scout, and I personally, would like to wish all of our readers and their families a very happy and healthy Christmas.

Often in our short seasonal message of goodwill we urge you to tear your retinas away from our site and spend some quality time with your loved ones but, while we repeat that sentiment here, it’d be naive to think that many of us won’t have half an eye on Gameweek 19, even when otherwise engaged on Christmas Day.

Whether it be points hits and postponements while the kids are opening the presents, weighing up a Free Hit over the figgy pudding or sizing up a Son-for-Salah swoop while Skypeing your nan, there’ll be the Jacob Marley-like spectre of a Boxing Day deadline preying on our minds.

Our FPL coverage nevertheless takes a break for a day, as it should, and we’ll return with a vengeance and possibly a hangover with some Gameweek 19 content tomorrow, starting with a timely piece from Lateriser on the Free Hit.

As the first glass of cheap fizz starts to take its effect, I’d like to extend a huge thank you for your continued support and patronage of the site throughout not just my brief stint as editor but over 2021 as a whole and the many years before that.

It really is a privilege to work for the site and I hope we can continue to make strides and improve on what we offer in the year ahead.

From myself and all at Fantasy Football Scout, we wish you a very merry Christmas.

    Merry Chrimbo all. I got home when the sun was up. Gf not happy! 😀

    1. BIGREDDOG
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Oh god top post. I've got the fear

    2. BIG TONES
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      She'll be right mate

      1. BIGREDDOG
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Haha

        1. BIG TONES
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          You can blame the blocked nose on the cold weather. All good

  2. MFC86
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Salah to KDB to ensure 11 starters for a -4 then captain KDB to hopefully make up the -4 ? Or play with 10?

    1. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      If Salah to KDB doesn't fund you Ronaldo/Son as well as KDB, I'd rather get someone like Bowen broja or other starting Defender

      1. MFC86
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah good point

    2. RogDog_jimmy
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Like that idea.

    3. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I'd do it

  3. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Bottomed. Best option here if all the games go ahead? 1ft, 2.5m itb. Thanks

    A. Salah Dennis > ronaldo foden/ moura
    B. Salah Watkins > son Ronaldo
    C. FH
    D. Something else?

    Ramsdale
    Cancelo rudiger Alonso tierney
    Bilva Bowen esr
    Watkins

    Foster Taa Salah Jota Dennis king

    1. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      A

    2. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      A as you need to get Dennis out

    3. SoulShakinTex
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I think I am going A with Martinelli, but do not own ESR.

    4. C0YS
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I did B as Son is imo essential moving forward…don’t think I’d take Foden (playing time uncertainty with the scandal) or Moura (not a good fpl asset overall)

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

      Surely don’t sell Salah if spurs game is off
      Dennis to Broja is a long term move
      Would lose Alonso too but doesn’t have to be this week
      I’m looking at getting in Bowen

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks

  4. Chelsea Dagger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    If I already made one transfer for GW19 and decide to FH before the GW19 deadline, does my team for GW20 include the transfer made this GW or does it revert to the team I had in GW18?

    Cheers

    1. SoulShakinTex
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      The last.

    2. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Reverts to old 15 players

    3. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Thanks

    4. Lucky Z
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      FH clears up any transfers made

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

    What to do here? 8 currently playing with Foden and Antonio 50-50?

    Ramsdale
    Livramento James Cancelo Dias
    Foden
    Watkins Antonio

    (Foster) (TAA) (Salah) (Raphinha) (King) (Brownhill)

    1 ft, 0.6 itb.

    a. Free Hit
    b. Raphinha to Bowen/Martinelli
    c. Salah and Raphinha to Son and City Mid/Bowen (-4)
    d. Salah, Raphinha and King to Son, City Mid/Bowen and Broja (-8)

    1. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      C looks good if Spurs game goes ahead

  6. WibblesTeam
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Thanks for all previous answers.

    Last call - Bruno or Martinelli as a Salah replacement between now and gw24?

    Note - Using FH gw22 so Martinelli bad fixture there doesn't matter

    1. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Martinelli

  7. C0YS
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Watkins to Ronaldo for a hit (-4):
    A) Yay
    B) Nay

    1. SoulShakinTex
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Nay

      1. C0YS
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Why not? Seems to be the best captaincy option out there aside in addition to Son…whose game may or may not be canceled

        1. Salan
          • 16 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Then why do you ask this question to us?

          You have your own answer already.

          1. Costa Nostra
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Most ask questions hoping they'll get the answer they want to hear.

            1. C0YS
              • 10 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              Close enough. Hoping for either confirmation of my preference or a reason to think otherwise (honestly prefer the latter fwiw, in order to take into account cons that may not have crossed my mind).

              What are your thoughts on that transfer?

          2. C0YS
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            My answer may be wrong. What would you prefer and why?

  8. BIG TONES
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone else still holding Wilson? Good run ahead after MUN

    1. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah considering it. Forwards market is dead anyway and he's one of the better ones

      1. BIG TONES
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Had other fires to fight and still got him. Reckon he's a decent option

  9. SoulShakinTex
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Not an original question this week, but: Salah and Dennis out for…
    A) Ronaldo and Martinelli
    B) Son and Broja
    C) Only Dennis out, keep Salah for Leicester game?

    1. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      C I reckon I’ll do
      Will get son for his next game

    2. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      A looks fire

    3. GRPunk
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I did A yesterday.

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

      My plan is A before deadline.

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

      Cheers, all!

    6. Gunneryank
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      A is delicious of course but C for me.

  10. Ray In Bruges.
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Any feedback appreciated...

    Sanchez
    Chalobah James Livra Tierney
    Gallagher ESR Ramsey
    Antonio Ronaldo Wilson

    Steele, Salah, Jota, TAA

    1FT, 0.1ITB

    a) Save FT
    b) Free Hit
    c) A transfer?

    1. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Salah to Son if Spurs game goes ahead

  11. Lucky Z
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    To keep Salah:

    Dennis + Foden => Ronaldo + Gilmour -4

    Yes or No?

    1. BIG TONES
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yes assuming you're capping Ronaldo

      1. Lucky Z
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        For sure (C)

        1. BIG TONES
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          I would do it. Best captain option this week and Foden not even nailed

    2. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Selling Foden can be risky though

      1. Lucky Z
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        That is my fear. Can do Dennis to Laca for free

        1. BIG TONES
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Points ceiling for Laca is quite low compared to Ronaldo (c). Laca owner by the way

          1. tokara
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            If only Laca was clinical last game

            Owner here

    3. tokara
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

    4. Lucky Z
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Thank you all!

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

      Can you get Ramsay instead of Gilmour?

      1. Lucky Z
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Exact funds unfortunately

    6. Gunneryank
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Damn. Tough. Not sure pitching Foden is correct here. Non-owner. But Ron for Toon and Salah for Leicester is spicy.

  12. james 101
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    A. ESR to Martinelli -4

    B. Mount to Martinelli -4

    C. Keep ESR and Mount

    1. james 101
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      D. ESR / Mount to Bowden (which?!)

    2. vova
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      C

      don't take hits to take out players who have a game this week

      1. james 101
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I hear you. I know he keeps scoring but I’m concerned about ESRs game time.

        And Marty is in beast mode

        1. Gunneryank
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Try thinking about it in terms of Emile not having a ton of miles on his legs right about now...

    3. griffzinho
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Keep ESR.

      1. james 101
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        So not A!

        What do you think, B or C or D?

    4. POGON 1948
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Keep ESR, he'll likely be a sub in GW19 but then start in GW20

      1. POGON 1948
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        B isn't a bad shout but like above I wouldn't take out any players actually playing football this week haha

      2. james 101
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Why do you think this mate?

        1. POGON 1948
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Just pure fixture congestion and need for rotation. There is only 46 hours inbetween GW19 and GW20 for Arsenal.

          1. james 101
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Ok that makes sense

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

      B for me.

  13. Original Sin
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    9 playing including Vardy and Benteke. Want to do
    SALAH+DENNIS->BOWEN+RONALDO (-8)

    Team currently:
    De Gea Bachman**
    CANCELO JAMES DALOT ait-nouri** Taa**
    MARTINLI BILVA MADDISON salah** jota**
    BENTEKE VARDY dennis**

    Should i also do Ait-nouri

    1. Original Sin
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Should i also do
      Ait nouri-> Davies for a further -4?

      1. RogDog_jimmy
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Nah. First one is plenty.

        1. Original Sin
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Wanted to get 1 playing sub as both Vardy and Benteke are doubtful for a start.

  14. WibblesTeam
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    8 men playing

    Ramsdale
    Cancelo James Livramento Manquillo
    Foden
    Antonio Lacazette

    Salah and Raphinha to Bowen and Martinelli/Bruno?

    Will get Son if Spurs game on

    1. BIG TONES
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Make two plans: one for spurs game on, and one for not. Then make your decision based on whether the fixture goes ahead

      1. Gunneryank
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Why have you injected a reasonable, logical course of action into events? Why?

        1. BIG TONES
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Because I learned from my dumb arse mistakes of the past lol

  15. FPL ElasticO
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Are the Spurs vs Palace match going ahead? Listening to some news about the match got postponed.
    Any news guys?

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Was some rumoring going on a few hours back. Hard to know how for real it is.
      Currently the game is on. That’s all anyone can be sure of right now. Would definitely pay attention as late to deadline as possible.

    2. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      As it's the first match this gameweek, you will hopefully know within 20 mins of deadline at the latest

  16. ZTF
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    How likely is KDB to start?

    1. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Very likely unless he has COVID

      1. ZTF
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Cool. You don’t reckon he might miss this one and play the 29th? Easier fixture on paper but I wouldn’t be so sure with Leicester injuries + the fact it’s at home

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          It's games like this that would build KDB's fitness further and his confidence with goals.

  17. Gunneryank
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Not gonna lie. My GW is hanging by a thread.

    I need my boys to churn through the Canaries with officially countable carnage or I'm toast.

    Game over, man!

    Hudson!

    1. POGON 1948
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years

      As a Lpool fan with Arse triple - UP THE GUNNERS

      1. Gunneryank
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Love it! Back at ya, Arsenal fan with triple Pool, because obv. 😀

  18. Grand Thibauto
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Tomiyasu seemingly out and Antonio very likely out.

    Transfer plan Salah+King to Bowen+Ronaldo (-4)

    Current team
    Ramsdale
    Cancelo James Alonso Tomiyasu (?)
    Foden Bernardo
    Antonio Watkins

    Foster King Jota TAA Salah Brownhill

    Would you also transfer out Brownhill for Martinelli for another -4?

  19. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Right, think I'm settled on FH team now in a 352, opinions if you will please gents?

    DDG
    Tierney - Cancelo - Reguillon
    Martinelli - KDB (vc) - Son - Foden - Bowen
    Ronaldo (c) - Lacazette

    Cheers 🙂

    1. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Isn't the Spurs game off?

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        First I'm hearing if it's definite, just rumour

        1. lilmessipran
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          I am not sure myself, saw some tweets from a few reliable twitter handles regarding it

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            That's fine, I'm sure we'll know for definite before deadline l, I hope anyway, can change it according to that if it gets cancelled.

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I'd go Ramsdale over DDG (Newcastle is more interested in attacking than Norwich), Sánchez over Gunnarsson (playing backup), Laca to Toney (bench), Lamptey to James (start)

      But that's the way I play. Yours could match or beats that

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        *beat

        Another round of sleep, then

      2. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers bud some good reason if there. Just already have the three Arsenal lads and really not keen on Toney in a FH team at all. I have James in my normal non FH team but I kind of want nothing to do with that game now, I think it could be a cagey match or even a Villa win there.
        I reckon United have more chance of a cleanie under Rangnick shaping thinks up,!but could go either way like you say.

        1. Ze_Austin
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Toney's for the bench. Playing backup from another match, and confirmed starting by his coach

          Okay, I'll visualise it so you can compare more freely:

          Ramsdale
          Cancelo James Reguilón Tierney
          (VC) KDB Son Foden Bowen Martinelli
          (C) Ronaldo

          Sánchez Dalot Broja Toney

          My FH team (if I play it) actually has James + Alonso over Dalot, but I see the reasoning with Dalot

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 14 Years

            Ahh gotcha it's clearer seeing it wrote down. I do like it, on a FH though with only one forward? I'd at least want 2. I donMt have a lot of faith in James for this game, Chelsea been so poor of late in defence, he can get attacking returns sure. I do like it though, fire tjust need to know if even the Spurs game goes ahead haha!

              4-5-1 and 5-4-1 have been in vogue recently, for good reason

              Have you watched Laca? I'm selling him for a hit

              Yes, it's one starting forward in your XI, but Toney is definitely going to play, and so is Broja. So if anything happens to Ronaldo or the Man U game, you get clear replacements who don't have horrible matches themselves (so, not Watkins)

              Good luck! 🙂

                Oh for sure, I've even rocked a 451 a couple times but just spreading the risk out more with the 352, and all my bench should play regardless.
                A lot depends entirely on this Spurs game going ahead.

                Thanks mate! Good luck to you too.

              About Chelsea: they aren't poor with Kanté and Joginho fit. That bad defensive period involved all their DMs being injured, and that's where their defence lies

              Kanté was rested in midweek. Villa has a much better defence than attack atm (that's where most of their improvement has been), so I'm not worried for Chelsea wingbacks or even Rüdiger here

              1. Salah’s Sonnet
                • 14 Years
                4 years, 3 months ago

                Fair points, but if James allows me another forward, and against Norwich, I think I'd just prefer that instead of trying to bank more on a James output, I do believe Laca can do really well.

    Looking for a differential captain for a H2H league -

    A) Foden
    B) Cancelo
    C) Bowen

    1. POGON 1948
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years

      (C)ancelo is pretty popular I think. Bowen is a great differential against saints defence at home currently going under radar

    Merry Christmas everyone!

    Thoughts on this team?

    Not keen on a FH.
    A lot of uncertainty with City trio, Antonio and ESR.
    Also wondering if Ronaldo's Monday kick off is too risky?
    Salah to Bowen for free?

    Ramsdale
    Cancelo James Alonso Duffy
    Bilva Gundogan ESR Salah
    Lacazette Antonio
    -------------------------------------------
    Foster TAA Jota King

    1FT. 0.5M.

    Thanks.

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Merry Christmas back at ya!

      Team looks strong. Obvs move is Salah out for Son, but might be worth moving King too if you want Ronaldo.
      Maybe King > Broja? alone.

      Could even roll! That would be a rare one I bet.

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers.
        I am hearing rumours that Spurs game might be postponed. Otherwise I will bring in Son for Salah.

        1. C0YS
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          If it is postponed, Salah to Bowen is a good shout for this week as well as the kind potential upcoming DGW fixtures…although rolling until it’s confirmed is a good idea too

    My GW20 transfer is shaping up to be the action-packed FT of Gelhardt to Cucho

    Glorious times

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      How are you planning for gw20 transfers and have not planned mine yet for 19?

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Just whiling time away

        Nothing's concrete until 30 minutes to each deadline. Not even FH or WC

  23. Loðbrók
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Odegaard -> Martinelli (-4) ?

    Worth it as Martinelli is season keeper?
    Otherwise wont get him for free until gw24/25...

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Those fixtures and blank mean Arsenal attacking transfers are going to be skewed towards sales from GW20

      I wouldn't go sideways for a hit in GW19

  24. The FPL Units
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Dennis or King to Broja?

    1. C0YS
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Dennis - out for Afcon + will drop a lot in price

      1. The FPL Units

    Who is more nailed on guys-Dalot or Telles?

    Thanks

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      GW19 will be the first time all Man U defenders would be fully fit under Rangnick

      So, we actually don't know. We're about to know

      There are many claims of certainty going around that Dalot is nailed as a natural fit for Ralf's system, but we haven't seen Wan-B play in this system yet... And if anybody's gonna try to find out, it will be Rangnick (or Tuchel)

      1. POGON 1948
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah I dont think all the "is X nailed" people realise we have another game in literally 48 hours after GW19. Very slim chances of players playing both except the few fitness monsters.

        1. POGON 1948
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          And to answer OP neither is nailed, you could argue Dalot is bluetacked

        2. Ze_Austin
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah. No better time to find out his best XI in a competitive setting by trying most of 'em out during the congestion

          It had been easier for us in FPL so far with all those absentees, but this is the time to find out who's truly nailed or preferred or horrible in his system

          1. FortunesAlwaysHiding
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    If you could get the following team out, not only without hits, but actually rolling a transfer, would you just go with it?

    Ramsdale

    James, Cancelo, Reguilon, Livramento

    Saka, ESR, Gallagher

    Ronaldo(C), Watkins, Broja

    Or do you think a Free Hit taking advantage of the Man City and Spurs fixtures would still be worth it?

    Also, any obvious improvement with my free transfer, or just roll it?

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Livra to anybody. Do not rely on Southampton defence atm, even against Norwich

      1. Sam (Team Sam)
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I considered swapping him to Davies.

        Just not sure what is more valuable, a defender instead of Livra or an extra free transfer next week

        1. Ze_Austin
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          If your absentees here are Liverpool players, I think you're fine with just 1 FT in GW20

          I'm not sure you'll find where to spend that, even

          And Livra out is a long-term move. 1 FT will still end up going there

  27. AppleDunk
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Which pair do you fancy for mid-long term?

    A) Son, Watkins
    B) Ronaldo, Gallagher

    1. C0YS
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      It’s close.

      Son >> Ronaldo
      Gallagher >> Watkins (however less essential)

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      A

    3. AppleDunk
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Cheers guys, appreciate the replies.

  28. WibblesTeam
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Martinelli or Bruno?

    Note - Wont be spending the extra cash, just keeping there until Salah returns, so dont pick Martinelli based on the price please.

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Marti, Bruno is just not doing anything.

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Martinelli. CR7 broke Bruno as an FPL asset.

  29. C0YS
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Is Watkins -> Ronaldo for -4 a bad move assuming FH in GW20 for Watkins’ DGW?

    1. vova
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      wouldn't take a player that has a game out for a hit this week, especially if you would want him back the next week. I am likely getting Ronaldo/Bowen in but for Salah/Dennis (blank and AFCON coming up)

      1. C0YS
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks!

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      It's almost impossible for there to be a DGW in GW20. Short turnaround before GW21

      Watkins probably gets DGW21, yes. Quite the chance that his GW20 game is off too, though. Leeds outbreak won't have enough time to end isolation, I think. Not confirmed though

      Considered joining me on WC21 instead? Makes GW19 moves easier

      1. vova
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        what does your team look like now/what are you planning for your WC?

        1. Ze_Austin
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Now, on -4:

          Ramsdale
          TAA James Cancelo Alonso Tierney
          Salah Foden Bilva Jota
          Ronaldo
          .
          DDG Ramsey Broja Gelhardt

          WC21:

          DDG
          Dalot Cancelo Targett
          Gallagher Son Maddison Bowen
          CR7 DCL Watkins
          .
          Bachmann Jota TAA Coufal

          TC22:
          (TC)TAA Coufal Dalot
          Jota (VC)Son Bowen Maddison Gallagher
          Ronaldo DCL
          .
          Bachmann Cancelo Watkins Targett

          FH?, BB36, FH38

          Yeah, a lot of free time over here 😀

          1. Ze_Austin
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            De Gea's missing on TC22

      2. C0YS
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        You’re right, DGW21 🙂

        I thought about WC21, but the best teams for DGW21 and DGW22 are so different that I decided to build towards DGW22 (2-3 hits away from a team I can BB) and FH21

        1. Ze_Austin
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          My current plans for WC21 and TC22 are filled with doubles

          Well, likely doubles according to Crellin

          I'll change everything if things turn out differently, including chip plan

          WC21 is set for me anyway: Salah, Chelsea wingbacks, DCL + Watkins, City midfield double-up (I'll get Foden for Son in GW23, hopefully), etc

    1. Old Man

      No change there, then.

      Makes a change doesn’t it

    4. vova

      would be a shame not to get plastered on Boxing Day

      Root worked hard for his 50, had a bit of luck but played well. Should have knuckled down and stayed in a bit longer though.
