    Would you FH this team ?

    Have no Spurs no Burnley no bench Edouard Olise not nailed...

    And have 2fh 1ft and 0itb

    Sanchez
    Cancelo Dalot Digne Ait Nouri
    Foden Bowen Olise Bruno
    Edouard Broja

    Bench pool/Arsenal

    1. Home Late From Age
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, I would

    2. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Same boat as me, and I think we “have” to

    3. El Presidente
      • 6 Years

      I think I would yes

        I count 9

  2. N00B

    Best captain for GW27?
    A) Sterling
    B) Mahrez

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A out of those.

    2. LC1
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A for me

  3. LC1

    Thoughts on this WC team;

    Ramsdale Forster
    TAA Digne Mee** Semedo Livra
    Salah Son Raphinha Coutinho Saka
    Weghorst Jimenez Broja

    Will be doing Mee to Rudiger (If Chelsea double in 28), which will give me 11 DGWers and in good stead for DGW29.

    Any suggestions are much appreciated 😀

    1. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Looks well balanced to attack the next few gameweeks, with an eye on the longer term too. Thumbs up!

      1. LC1
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Nice one. Appreciate it!

    2. jakethebeast
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Looking for a very similar WC myself. Really like your team, and the idea with a Burnley defender to Rudiger next GW.

      Are you looking into a possible BB in 28?

      1. LC1
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yes mate will most likely BB with Ramsdale, TAA, Saka and Salah.

        Good luck bro

  4. Strchld

    4 years, 1 month ago

    Who are playing FanTeam second change season game, when is your plan to play WC?
    Probably getting and dead-end team for GW30 and activate WC after that? GW28?

  5. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone know anything of Webster’s fitness? Kinda need him back for my team this week!

    1. Kay317
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I think they said he just had a slight groin issue and was fatigued so should be fine. But not 100% sure. I'm in the same boat and am banking on him being back.

  6. Cheeto__Bandito
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Would be a shame if Origi starts, will take some chances from Salah

    1. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Klopp will most likely just stick with Mane, Diaz, Salah.

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

        twitter rumours saying origi starts

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

          Instead of?...

      2. TopBinFC
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I think mane might get a rest ahead of Sunday

  7. PascalCygan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Who are Free Hitters captaining?

    Finding it hard to choose between Kane/Son and Weghorst. City mids an option too…

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

      Kane

    2. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Currently on Weg. What about Pope??

      1. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        That’s a tempting outside bet!

  8. Malinwa
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    RMT my FH team please

    Pope
    Cancelo-Mee-Bednarek
    Sterling-Bruno-Son-JWP
    Kane-Broja-Weghorst

    Gunn-Ramsey-Veltman-Amartey

    1. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Standard. Looks strong. 9/11 same as me.

      1. Malinwa
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers

  9. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Have 8.9 to spend on 2 defenders - thoughts on Livra and Roberts ?

    Pope
    Cancelo/X/X
    Bruno/Sterling/Son/Mahrez
    Kane/Weghorst/Broja

    1. Malinwa
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Not sure Livra is nailed? Roberts should be a good pick

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Agree, not sure myself

      2. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I shied away as not sure either

    2. Bavarian

      Bednarek-Roberts

  10. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Definitely seeing the FH momentum gathering. Am still holding out for a better GW down the line...

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

      Me too, but we may be wrong.

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

        It's always possible I guess, but if you have Weg, one of Son/Kane, some City and Soton coverage I think you'll do just fine.

        1. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Agreed! I'm gonna add Weg and JWP (-4) to Son and Cancelo. No MCI/MUN mid is a bit stressful, but not have either for a while.

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

      I think if you're team has the key players it's a fine strategy. I'm not playing FH either

      1. Gon Freecss
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Is it completely bonkers to not play FH with triple Arsenal and Liverpool?

        Which key players could enable you do this?

        1. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Thats why ive played it.
          Had 5 of them.
          What you think of team below?

        2. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I've only got five ARS/LIV. Switching Saka out for JWP for the week; then bringing him back for Bowen in 28.

          1. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            I might not have played it if I only had one left, but I still have another intact for later

            1. Gon Freecss
              • 4 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              I've only got one FH. I have 6 blank players. No Weg, no spurs, no United... all things point to FH. But I'm considering gambling on it being a damp swib. Am I INSANE!?

    3. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      That’s what the other FH is for

      1. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Already used, alas.

    4. TopBinFC
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I have 2 FHs and not using one this weekend, most likely a red arrow but my hope is that I can gain more by using in 30 and another GW.

      1. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Not to be a total free-loader, but what's the second FHGW you're thinking of? Or is it a wait and see if a good option develops.

  11. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Just seen that none of the EPL games are on UK TV tonight.

    What an absolute joke.

    1. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Clash with Champs League
      Part of the deal

    2. GENERATION X

      Old school radio. Takes me back to childhood days listening to Brian Butler and Peter Jones cracking away in Dynamo wherever as A British side looked to bag an away goal

    3. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE

      Get a cracked Amazon firestick, all the 3pm KO’s, PPV Boxing etc

        This its 2022

  12. Woyofthewovers66
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    To free hit, or not free hit….that is the question!

    Current team with transfer used:

    Foster
    Kilman cancelo laporte
    Ramsey Bowen KDB Gallagher
    Dennis Broja Weghorst

    (No bench as it is Arsenal and Liverpool players)

    FH team

    Pope
    Cancelo livramento mee
    Mahrez KDB Bruno son
    Kane broja weghorst

    (McGovern, Ramsey, Veltman, Amartey)

    I also think my ML rival (whom I am trailing) will free hit as he has triple arsenal and triple Liverpool!

    I had thought I’d save both free hits for GW33 and GW36…but bow think I need to go on the offensive earlier (and potentially the defensive as my FH team likely out scores non-FH team by a bit)

    Any thoughts very much welcomed

    1. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Id FH
      Like the team. KdB could he a differential. I couldn't swueeze hin jn

      See mine below and let me know what you think?

    2. mrelpea
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      If your rival is free hitting, I would too, especially as you still have both.

      As an aside, if you still have bench boost, I would save that for GW36 when the biggest DGW will be

  13. as33

    Hello every1, i have Kane in my team, should i bring Son or Bruno? Salah>Bruno-Son

    1. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Son hard to ignore I feel

  14. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Im sure lots of these posts, but any advice (even if short) would be great.
    On a FH.
    Had Ronaldo, but downgraded to spread around.
    Have this

    POPE
    WALKER MEE MAGUIRE
    SON(c) BRUNO MAHREZ SANCHO
    KANE WEGHORST BROJA

    Bench: Gunn, Walker-Peters, Ramsey, Salisu

    Should sub 1 be Ramsey > Peters ?

    Cheers for some input. Trying to sort now as will be in hopsital all day Thu and Fri.

    1. Woyofthewovers66
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Walker a differential but too much of a risk imho

      1. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Surely his euro ban means he plays?

        1. mrelpea
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Agreed, think he plays because of the ban

          1. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Though ive assumed the euro game is next week.... need to check on that...

    2. mrelpea
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Are you sure about double United rather than triple City? Can you afford Bruno to KDB?

      1. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Maxxed out on that FH team.
        So would need to change another down
        Was thinking foden in for sancho. But foden trolls me and not guaranteed start.
        Sterling in for fernandes...? But again.... security...

        1. mrelpea
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I see, damn! I know what you mean about Foden!! Could you afford KDB by downgrading Maguire to, say Livramento, or even to Amartey? I’d say if you have the more secure starters, Ramsey should be enough cover really

  15. OffsidePenalty

    Maybe Weghorst shouldn't be on pens for Burnley. Haha

  17. DALEDOBACK

    Save FH right? 2 left.

    DDG,
    Cancelo, Digne, Dalot
    Son, Bowen, JWP, Mahrez
    Broja, Édouard, Weghorst

    1. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…

      Yeah probably

  18. Timbomars
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Is anyone else really confused on how to navigate these upcoming doubles? I have 1FH, BB and Wildcard left - absolutely no idea how to maximise the bench boost chip with DGW28 and DGW29 back to back. Want to save the FH for BGW30 ideally!

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Just hit it when you have an injury free squad, at the first opportunity and reasonable fixtures to play into.

  19. Hazardous1983
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    king or edouard for weghorst?

  20. Gon Freecss
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I've only got one FH. I have 6 blank players. No Weg, no spurs, no United... all things point to FH. But I'm considering gambling on it being a damp swib. Am I INSANE!?

    A) Yes. Slap yourself in the face and get with the program

    B) Its a gamble but it might pay off when you FH for a DGW or GW30

    C) Just take some hits for Saka and Diaz, cpt Son, then you can field 10 which isn't so bad

    D) you've clearly lost the plot. Time to hang up your FPL hat

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      B if you have 9 players.

      How many would you currently have for the 3 gw30 matches?

      1. Gon Freecss
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Only have 4 players for gw 30

        1. OptimusBlack
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Which teams that surely play GW 30 ?

      I have five blank players and i am not gg to FH

      Selling Salah for Son

  21. Hazardous1983
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    best week to use 2nd wildcard

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      With at least 5 weeks remaining and when your team needs it.

      It's normally fairly obvious.

    2. tokara
      • 11 Years

      With BB

  22. G Banger
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    In advance of WC28, would you FH (still have both) or play the following for (-4)

    De Gea
    Cancelo / Ait Nouri / Mee
    KDB / Ramsey / Cornet / Bowen / Son
    Broja / Dennis

    (Ramsdale* / TAA* / Alonso* / Antonio)

    a) Use one FH
    b) Play team (-4)

    1. waltzingmatildas
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      B. I'd even consider Antonio to Weghorst and bench Ramsey

  23. waltzingmatildas
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    A) FH
    B) Salah to son (Salah back in for Bruno next week)
    C) B and VVD to Coady (-4)

    Pope
    Cancelo Dalot
    Bruno Bowen Ramsey
    Weghorst Maupay Broja
    (Sanchez TAA VVD Tierney Saka Salah)

  25. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    Coming around a bit to Bowen on FH. What would you go?

    Bowen + Sterling or Foden + Sancho?

    1. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Foden + Sancho

      1. waltzingmatildas

    1. Dynamic Duos

      Mee or Tark

    2. Reacher
      • 15 Years

      Is he confirmed out? I'm clinging on to the fact he may be back as I have more pressing issues

        not confirmed, but a hernia is a painful one to recover from and they have Johnson as coverage? Hopefully we hear soon regardless.

        Same as you, I'd much rather take out 1 of my watford strikers for Broja this week but if Coufal is out then I won't be fielding 11

          Ill be taking out one of my Watford strikers for Weghorst, can remove the other for Broja and plan 10 if Coufal is out

    Alternatives to Raphinha, his minutes and points haven't been the best?

    * On WC and already have Bowen & Ramsey (7.0 or below)
