    What chance Salah goes down in price again tonight? He’s on -103.5. Thinking of getting him back

    Had 6.4m for a midfielder after selling Salah and it was a choice between Trossard, Lucas Moura and Gallagher. You can guess which one I picked! Eff off!

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years

      That's the way it goes.Lucas would have been sweet.

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      A rival of mine benched Moura on his FH and won't be getting him, miracle!

  3. DA Minnion (Former great)

    My free hit will get me 17 points extra and I still have Salah against Leicester next week who I would have got rid of if I'd done two transfers. (Salah and Dennis to Martinelli and Ronaldo.)
    Not amazing but not a total disaster.

      How many hits are you going to take this week?

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Don't know. Missing a lot of players.

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          • 12 Years

          Take them off the 17pts before you declare a succesd

          1. DA Minnion (Former great)

            Why you trying to burst my bubble.

            1. Norco
              • 9 Years
              2 years, 4 months ago

              Because you're trying to blow bubbles over all of us

              1. DA Minnion (Former great)
                • 11 Years
                2 years, 4 months ago

                Wasn't intended. I'll retreat to the shadows again.

      They were my transfers which just went through but captain never went through before site crashed…ended up on martenelli (c) lol

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        At least I've Ronaldo captain.

        1. Pat Bonner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          2 years, 4 months ago

          That’s what I had intended! Frustrating but what can you do

    Given next week means 3 blanks in next eight for Arsenal plus games against City and Spurs, then this is probably the time to shift them right?

    1. estheblessed
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I think so

    2. FER FUSCH AKE
      • 7 Years

      no brainer.

    3. estheblessed
      • 9 Years

      I might keep ramsdale tho. No harm as he will get save points

      1. Biggsy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Not if he isn't playing. Who's your backup?

    R. James is a funny asset, he either hauls or get 0

    He just can't get a 2 pointer to save his life

    1. Alexis Nonsense
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      In fact hasn't got a single 2 pointer this season...

    Maupay only scores when I don't have him.

  14. Kodap

    How's Lamptey playing?

  15. estheblessed
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    I'm sure I ask this every season! But if I make a transfer then use a FH does that transfer still count?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      no

      1. estheblessed

        Thank you and does it mean I will have 2 ft the following week?

    Exact money to do DDG & Antonio in for Forster and Lacazette.
    But I need to wait...

    1. FER FUSCH AKE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah wait.

  18. Sun Jihai

    Nice goal

  19. HuttonDressedasLahm

    My FH draft (that I didn’t play) is doing annoyingly well 🙁

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      DDG
      Lamptey Cuccarella Dias
      Trossard KDB Mahrez Bowen Bruno
      Ronaldo Broja

      Caballero Toney Johnson Tsimikas

      1. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Though still annoyed I takes myself out of Moura and got Bowen instead

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Always the way isn’t it. I was considering doing it last min so who knows how that would’ve gone!

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

      Same here…

  20. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Streetwise Scot.

  21. dshv
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    1. Ramsdale and Esr ->> DDG and Gray (for free)

    2. Watkins to king??

    Upgrade 2nd keeper??

  22. FER FUSCH AKE
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Is DDG really essential. I'm 0.3M off getting him.

    Are Sanchez or Guaita able alternatives?

    1. Norco
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      See what happenz after their game this week.

      No way "essential"

    2. Alexis Nonsense
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I don't think so

      Man U are dodgy at the back, and Ramsdale/Sanchez etc. could very well match him or even outscore him

  23. manu4life99
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Save FT?

    Ramadale
    TAA Cancelo Rudiger Tierney
    Salah Jota BSilva Foden ESR
    King

    sanchez dennis reguilion jimenez

  24. Norco
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Foden > Jota for free (don't own Salah)?

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I’d say 99.9% yes

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Easy move that but wait Tuesday

    3. Utopsis
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Absolutely not, don't sell Foden now

  25. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    What are the chances of Everton v Newcastle being called off? I'm eyeing a move for Wilson and may still get him anyway and bench him.

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Assume quite high

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Would wait as long as possible, especially for a Newcastle striker you’ll be benching!

  26. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    It’s been a total Christmas disaster for me so far, should’ve gone with FH ofc…

    Had only 10 set to play including double Chelsea def, Duffy, Foden, transferred in Martineli this week, while have no Son, Mahrez, ESR/Saka, Spurs def…can’t really catch a break!

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Can’t change it now. Been a bit of a lottery the last few gws. At least you have the FH for the doubles

      1. Atimis
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        True that, cheers

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

    This is unbearable 3 ARS 2 AVL ... probably time for FH, unavoidable ...

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Sure you could get by with a -4

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

        Think I will FH this time

        1. Pat Bonner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          You’ve got 9 currently? Having the FH in 22 and later in the season will be so useful

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

            Yeah got 9 but with Foden ... it could be -8 for me. Damn 😛

            1. Pat Bonner
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              2 years, 4 months ago

              I’m in the same boat. Team is limping along and not even playing with the keeper just now (Guaita!)

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

                😆 oh dear, hope for a good 2nd half of the season. Good luck to us!

  28. manu4life99

    Arsenal vs Wolves postponed now? (Removed from fpl website fix)

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      yes

  29. Lord of Ings
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Why are people selling foden this week? He got minutes today,game is in less than 3 days you’d surely expect him to start vs Brentford?

    1. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Unpopular opinion- he is a good captaincy option this week if you dont have Salah ofcourse

    2. Iwantmorepointsthanks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      That's fine for those who keep him 🙂

      Zero idea

    4. Patio Kev
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Agreed - Both Foden and Jack look great bets for next GW. Can’t understand the sellers.

  30. lilmessipran

    All I want from this game is Lamptey to make it past 60
