    Any Brentford fans, is Toney gonna be fit for this weekend, could be a nice differential?

    1. Martin66
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Against Dan Burn….wouldn’t go there.

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      been seen in the latest training photos

    3. Conners
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Assuming he's fit to play, I'd be more inclined to punt on Saint-Max than Toney.

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

        Cheers all, I have Toney, had him on my bench last few GWs as had other fires so I'll keep this week.

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

          I'm thinking of keeping him for the foreseeable, tbh. Decent fixtures; plays in GW30; downgrading wouldn't free up cash or position; other transfer priorities.

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

            Good plan, very nice fixtures, on pens, will be a dogfight etc

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

              Oooh he's on pens, too. Yer good point 🙂

    DDG
    Cancelo - Digne - Coufal
    Foden - Bruno - Bowen - Cornet
    King - Dennis - Weghorst

    Ramsdale - Salah - TAA - Tierney

    Have the above team for this week. Plan to WC28 so any transfers will be for one week only.

    Do you think B below is worth it given the risk of one of my defenders not playing and being left with only 2 playing defenders?

    A) Salah > Son (free)
    B) Salah & Tierney > Son & Mee (-4) - play Mee and bench Coufal or King

    1. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A but Coufal could miss this weekend. Keep an eye on updates as it might be worth losing him instead of Tierney

  3. Ian Davis
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Best budget defender? I'm currently on Veltman. Pieters is tempting for the double, but could be a rotation risk...

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      If you can't go higher than 4.2m then Veltman over Pieters. Not sure Pieters is nailed when Taylor is available which could be this weekend

  4. George James
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Best move for this team? 1FT 2.2m ITB

    A) King >> Weghorst
    B) King + Gray >> Weghorst + Raphina -4
    C) Free Hit

    Sanchez
    Emerson • Cancelo • Dalot
    Ramsey • Bowen • Gray
    Kane • King • Dennis

    Pickford / Saka / Tierney / Salah / TAA.

    1. Junglist95
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      B

    2. waltzingmatildas

    3. Tonyawesome69

      B

  5. Hansel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    1) KDB + JWP
    2) Mahrez + Sancho
    3) Mahrez + Foden

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

      3

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Mahrez and Sancho.

      I have a feeling Foden might be benched. I think he's the most likely out of Sterling, Mahrez, Foden to get a rest imo.

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      2

    4. Pops15
      • 9 Years

      2

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

      Sancho and Mahrez are very exciting duo for this gameweek.

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

      Cheers all!

    7. Peter Ouch

    A. Mee
    B. Roberts

    1. Bednarek
    2. Livramento

    1. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      B1

    4. OptimusBlack

      A1

      1. CrouchDown
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Why Bednarek?

    5. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A2 pending Perraud's covid situation.

  7. Junglist95
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    King Dennis and Salah
    To
    Weg Broja and Bruno?

    Reverse Bruno to MO next week

    For a hit

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

      Already have Son?

      1. Junglist95
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yup

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

          Gtg

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I'm not a huge fan of the hokey cokey but if it saves you using a FH chip then yes

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

      For -4 and if you have no other pressing transfer priorities in the next couple of weeks, then yer!

    4. Junglist95
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Cheers all!

  8. CrouchDown
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Would you FH this?

    DDG

    Cancelo Livra Reguilon

    Son Bowen Salah* ESR*

    Antonio King Dennis

    Subs: Ramsdale*, Jota* TAA* White*

    1. Tanaka'd
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yes I would

    2. Conners
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I'm all for saving the FH this week if poss, but would FH that team in all honesty.

      Reggie might not play which leaves you with 8 starters including double Watford attack which isn't ideal.

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      if not willing to remove ARS/LIV players then FH

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

      I would.

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

    How likely Ars vs Che will be added to GW28?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      That game or Chelsea Norwich could be added to GW28.

      Chelsea should double in 28 due to the number of free spots available vs number of fixtures to rearrange.

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

    Is the Menace fit for today’s game vs Palace?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      RH didn't not mention any new injuries

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

        It will be delightful for Dennis Owners to feast tonight!

        1. GENERATION X
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Delightful enough that he made it to a second game in plus figures

  11. Parsnips
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Struggling on what to do here. 1FT

    Sa
    Digne cancelo Ait nouri
    Raphinha Bowen Ramsey Cornet
    Kane King Broja

    Foster Tierny Trent Salah

    King > weghorst

    And next week I’ll do corner > saka or Mahrez…

    1. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      King > Weghorst sounds good

  12. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    This is my differential FH team.

    Pope
    Mee/Cancelo/Varane
    Sancho/Mahrez/Maddison/Son
    Weghorst/Kane/Broja

    Forster/Zaha/Cresswell/Livramento

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      You have covered the core template FH team here. Not that differential...

      - What is Varane's ceiling? CS with little attacking threat?
      - Has Maddison played well in recent games? Subbed 72 mins v WHU then 16 min cameo from the bench v Wolves

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

      Differential? LOL

  13. Philip Jones's Diary
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone struggling to pick City forwards for a FH next week? Trying to pick one or two of the below:

    A. KDB
    B. Sterling
    C. Foden
    D. Mahrez

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Nope - BD

  14. DavvaMC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Is the triple up with City a good idea, I don't think the Everton game will be a walk in the park at Goodison?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Curious to know why you think it will not be straightforward for City? I haven't seen anything to suggest otherwise

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

        Everton appear to be a lot better at home is the reason...It's still City though so I'll be getting 3 City and hating myself lol

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Still not great...

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

          You're right EVE better at home but City coming from a defeat and LIV surely wins tonight it's 3 pts behind. They have already their CL tie done and dusted they will full force no mercy mode at Goodison

  15. Big Ronnie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Both Free Hits left. Changed plans last week and thought I'd be able to get away with saving FH but not so sure now. Biggest fear/threat is probably Kane and Son. Best option?

    A) Antonio & Archer to Weghorst & Broja (-4) 11 playing if Coufal fit and everyone plays
    B) Coufal, Antonio & Archer to Livra, Weghorst & Broja (-8) 11 playing hopefully
    C) FH

    DDG
    Digne, Cancelo, Saiss, Coufal*
    Bruno, Foden, Bowen
    Antonio, Dennis, Archer*

    Ramsdale* Salah*, TAA*, Saka*

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Just play the FH

      1. Big Ronnie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers Tony!

      More like Fat Ronnie

  16. KUNingas
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    On FH

    A) Cancelo, Broja
    B) Laporte, Sancho

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. Bobby Crush
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Since I am not too keen on Sancho, but like Laporte...I am torn.
      Adams is also in form.

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

        Yep, just trying to break the FH template somehow

        1. Keep calm and hoof me the b…
          • 16 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Worth keeping in mind that 60-70% of managers won't be using FH (or something like that), so even if you're bang on the FH template you're still gaining an edge over most people. I'm on FH this week and I'm only aiming for whoever I think will score best, with no thought to being 'different' as an end in itself

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

            That is exactly what I am doing. I see very little point in trying to differentiate with a player or two but if it makes it more fun or whatever for someone then they should definitely do it.

  17. LSP
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Any help would be much appreciated

    A) FH
    B) Salah + Watkons > Son + Weghorst (-4) (KDB > Salah next week)

    Foster
    Cancelo - Livra -
    Bowen - Ramsey - KDB
    Watkins - Dennis - King

    Bench: Salah/TAA/Tobbo - White/Saka/Ramdale

    1 FT & 0.0 ITB

    2 x FH, 1 x WC intact

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      probably FH

  18. Ruinenlust
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    How many DGW players will you have for DGW 28?

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

      8

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      5-6

    3. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe 10 or 11, plan is to FH, or WC then 7-8. Problem is I wanna get more players who has DGW29 so WC in that week also possible. Will decide when Gw30 games are known, and maybe more games announced, like DGW for Chelsea.

    4. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      5

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

      I think 6-7 enough

  19. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    1 FT and 0 ITB. Need to get rid of Jota and have concerns about Lamptey and Edouard starting every game. Still have both FHs and WC

    A - Use first FH
    B - Jota & Dennis > JWP & Weghorst for -4 (and hope Edouard gets points)
    C - Other suggestion?

    DDG
    Coady - Cancelo - Lamptey - Dier
    KDB - Bowen
    Edouard - Broja - Dennis

    Bachman - Salah - Jota - TAA - Saka

    1. Bobby Crush
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Keep Dennis and ditch Edouard.
      Dennis will play.
      Ed and Jota out.

      1. Jet5605
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks and agree makes sense.
        JWP and Weghorst are the best two replacements?

        1. Bobby Crush
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Well, Kane or Son would be nice!
          But I guess you cannot afford that.
          I like your ideas.

  20. carlosice
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    are there any managers with only 1 FH left, that are using it this week?

    And if so, what's the plans for GW30?

    1. Il Capitano
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No FH27, WC28, BB29 (or 36) no FH30, Jesus take the wheel 31-32, FH33? WC28 should give me enough to field a viable team in 30, especially if the Saints-Burnley game slots in there.

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

      It's not me, but I guess the plan would be to WC before GW30 or just navigate it with FT and hits

    3. I Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yes. I played WC in 26 so I'm well set up for 30 with 3x Arsenal, 3x Wolves, 2x Villa and Raphinha.

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

      I have only one left, but took -16 last week and will take -8 this week to save FH.

  21. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    @AnfieldFootball is suggesting that Origi starts tonight. Be afraid.

    1. Bobby Crush
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Who sits out then?
      Mane?

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I would guess either him or Diaz, but Salah can't be ruled out.

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

      So us Salah regular captainers can dream before getting our hopes crushed.

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Hopefully 🙂

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      He is just back from injury and came on as a sub 62 mins in the last game. Not sure he will be ready to start a game v Leeds.

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

    Anyone else totally forget that this is a DGW and there's a load of games tonight....

    .....me neither.

  23. JohnnyCroat
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Just seeing rumblings that Salah didn't travel. Goat mentioned it anyway.

    Anyone have anything concrete?

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      DGW disaster

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Twitter jokes, they're playing at Anfield, doesn't need to travel

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

        Heh, yeah. But did see talk of no start. For the record I've yet to bring him back after selling in 22 or 23 or whenever.

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

          No way Salah is rested. It is a too important match for Liverpool.

        2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Seen a few mention the Origi starting rumour so it's definitely possible, although honestly he's been out for a fair while and had a lot of setbacks so I'm not so sure I'll believe that until I see it

    3. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      My money is on you making this up after seeing my post above. 'Seeing rumblings' 🙄

      1. JohnnyCroat
        • 10 Years

        Nay, no, never.

          Same, prefer subtitles as well, emotions are delivered in a better way. You should binge watch S2 and S3 quickly 😀

      Doesn’t necessarily mean anything but I saw Ian Rush hanging round outside Elland Road a couple of years ago. Could be nothing though - Salah TC’ers shouldn’t panic.

    On a FH, would you go:
    KDB and Bowen
    KDB and Cornet
    Sterling and Mahrez?

      Sterling and Mahrez

      I know it is the "FH template" but for a reason, I guess.

      I like KDB and Cornet for a differential FH

    So is salah and robbo gonna start tonight?

    1. Rassi
      • 11 Years

      Nobody on this site knows but I would be very surprised if they didn't.

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

      They are

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

        Robbo 100%
        Salah 99.9%

    3. Holmes
      • 12 Years

      its not like we can do anything about it, atleast Salah TC wont be a failure if he goes awol tonight

    4. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Robbo surely will. As a non-TC’er, I hope Salah won’t, but I think he’ll have to play with Jota and Bobby both out

    5. Rupert The Horse

      Robbo was rested for this game.

    On FH:

    A) Livramento (Veltman, Tsimikas)
    B) Bednarek (Amartey, Williams)

    Cheers

    I can field 11 this week by taking a -4, something along the lines of Saka > JWP & Eduoard/Maupay > Weghourst. Alternatively, something like Salah > Bruno? However, if I was to use a FH chip, I'd probably change all but 3 of the players I currently have..

    DDG
    Cancelo - Taa - Dalot - Nouri
    Son - Bowen - Coutinho
    Eduoard - Broja - Maupay

    Ramsale - Saka - Salah - Robbo

      I'm doing something very similar:

      Saka --> JWP (and Bowen --> Saka next week)

      Toney/Maupay/Dennis --> Weghorst (and then to Broja next week)

        That actually sounds like a plan 🙂

        1. Kodap
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah sounds good.

          Haha thanks - I'm like a broken clock... every so often, something will be right.

    2. sunzip14

      Got similar dilemma but leaning towards saving FH. However, I don't know when is the better time to use the 2FH chips 🙂

      1. Kodap
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I guess one can be used in 30, and then another in 33 potentially if you want to maximise a blank/DGW?

  28. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …

    I'll stick my head on the chopping board and say Salah, Trent and Robbo start tonight.

    Will I then be a trusted ITK if this turns out to be true?

    Just hoping Chelsea don't get a DGW in 28. Messes up my entire chip strategy.

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

      Even if they do I wouldnt be bringing in many only maybe Rudiger, James wont play both games.

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

      I think they will.

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      It'll be a massive headache for fixture schedulers if Chelsea don't double in 28

    Geez, Antonio and Jota still haven't dropped. Hopefully my early transfer of them out for Kane and Brownhill doesn't come back to bite me.
