    This would have killed my non-FH team. I luckily escaped. Wow

    4. Botman and Robben

    3. The Pesci challenge

    4. frenchfries

      Thanks, appreciate it!

  3. Hairy Potter
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Jimi to come on against tired legs.

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

    Bowen time

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

    Which Chelsea defender has the highest chances of starting both potential DGW matches?

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Rudiger

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

        Thanks a bunch.
        How about thiago Silva?
        Short on funds

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

          Nah, 37 years old, wont play against Norwich

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

            Thanks, helpful

        2. The Mentaculus
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Check his record, hardly missed any league games. Think he's a good pick

  6. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Shame all the expensive Manchester punts failed for FH yesterday
    Could have been a real gain for FHers with this Wolves rotation

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

      51(-8), couldn't be happier really how it went without FH. Even so with Dalot benching. Only real damage coming from Cancelo, couldn't count Son because I still god 6 points for Kane's assist.

  7. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Pick one:

    A) Willows
    B) Fraser

    X) Rudi
    Y) James

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Willock *

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

      A and X

    3. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I'd love to get James back in but probably going to get Rudiger for nailedness.

      1. Van der Faart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Plus Willock

      2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        An occasional benching for attacking returns?

        1. Van der Faart
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Want to see him in action again first. He was a disaster for me when I had him before his injury

    4. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Tough, probably AX.

      Fraser looked great yesterday on the left wing, but if ASM is back, he'll move to the right where he doesn't look as good. Rudi might be more nailed than James.

    5. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      a y

  8. 1-1 at Newcastle
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Come on Jarrod, a little double would not go a miss here.

  9. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Wouldn’t know whom to get from Chelsea even if I did go there? Rudiger perhaps but that’s about it really. Tuchel will do the rest for us with his random benchings.

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

      Yeah I think I'll avoid, are 2 clean sheets a given?

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Not great
      At least with the Arsenal DGWs you can get a nailed DEF in for 4.5-5m and the likes of Saka for 6.5m
      With Chelsea you are paying 6m+ for the more nailed defenders (Rudiger, Mendy) and the midfielders/forwards don't appeal much

  10. ClassiX
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    So, just confirming that everyone knows that, in true FPL fashion, today is the day Antonio doubles, with an assist, right?

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      If all involve Bowen I’m game

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

      Yes please, although I also own Coady

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

    Jimenez benched. Interesting.

  12. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    If Bowen can do a madness and score goals galore...that would put the icing on a great gameweek!

  13. mdm
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Why Jimi bench?

    1. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Rotation due to fixtures apparently.

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

      Good news for the dgw

  14. Hairy Potter
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Fancy West Ham to win this. Rice should have got over being outclassed by Joelinton last time out.

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

    Would you keep Cancelo on WC?

    1. mdm
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No

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

      Yes absolutely, stupid question

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        bit harsh

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

          Hes one of a very few essentials, scored 9 points yesterday, why would he be a sell?

          1. Ajax Hamsterdam
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            to accomodate other players I suppose

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

              Sorry I didn't mean to be rude, dont see what players one needs to accommodate going without Cancelo

    3. The Mighty Hippo
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      yeah, but I've had him since gw1, so he'll only be leaving my team this season if injured.

    4. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Season keeper I think!
      14 points vs. MUN last time out too

    5. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yep

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

        Yes

    6. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    7. FPL Bargain
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    8. Ian J
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I have to agree, Cancelo is a season keeper
      Fabulous season, clean sheer points, bonus points, attacking returning, playing for leaders with a fab defence, and you probably bought him for a much lower price.
      Cannot think of where you would get that value else where.
      No brainer imo.

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

    48 points with no hits with Antonio and Coady to play, I'll take that. 2 FHs still in tact

  17. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    why choose rudiger when silva is just as nailed? just wondering.

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

      Silva is not as nailed, 37 years old, wont play Norwich with CL etc

    2. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Thiago Silva has only missed 2 of the last 23 league games, been playing 2 per week for a while now. Think I'll go for him over Rudi (if I dont get James)

  18. FPL Bargain
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    RMT on WC

    Ramsey Foster
    Cancelo VanDijk Rudiger James Coady

    Son Salah Saka Jorginiho Ramsey
    Kane Dennis Broja

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

      Nice but you need TAA

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      no taa. not keen on jorgh. drop son and strenghten the rest imo. imo 🙂

    3. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Hwang over Dennis and use the funds to upgrade elsewhere?

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        dennis nailed. hwang isnt though. dennis a good shout with remaining fixtures i think.

        1. Hairy Potter
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah, maybe. Depends how often you're going to have him in your starting 11. The extra cash could be used to upgrade Jorginho.

    4. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Not bad I would get hwang over Dennis as he has a game in gw 30. Agree with top bin it needs TAA or at a push Robertson. Jorginho not for me, need to see if you can push someone like willock i think. James or rudi for me (saints def instead?). Prefer raphinha at the moment to saka

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        why raphinha over saka?

        1. The Pesci challenge
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Just think with the new manager you may see a new lease of life out of him and just think he is a better player than saka. Also if you look at the next 3 gw’s Raphinha has better fixtures

    5. Ginger Pele
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I’m not keen on Jorginho or Dennis. Also, I personally think spurs are too inconsistent to have both son and Kane. One is enough and at the moment I think that one is Kane. So I would think about downgrading son and spreading that cash around with a few upgrades.

  19. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    2 FHs still intact. If Bowen, Mee and Weghorst (c) can get some points, it would put me in a great place for the rest of the season.

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

      Same

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Bowen ceiling is 3 here

      1. mdm
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Don't think he will put 3 past Sa

        1. Big_Andy_GAWA
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          😆

  20. Nightcrawler
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Wolves

    Only Burnley and Norwich have scored fewer

    Only city and Chelsea have conceded fewer

    So boring

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

      Defence is worth getting so,

  21. winchester
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    hi guys. used FH gw27. have 1ft and 0.4m itb. Have 1fh, wc and bb left. What could be done here? when would be the best scenario to wc+bb?

    foster
    taa cancelo saiss livra
    bruno bowen salah saka
    dennis watkins

    (ddg edouard jota* keane)

    a) jota -> raph/coutinho
    b) bowen -> raph/jwp
    c) wc?

  22. JONALDINHO
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Chelsea double news bad as a WC26er

    Foster
    Trent • James • Rudiger
    Salah • Son • Coutinho • Raph
    Jiminez • ASM • Broja
    (Ramsdale / Saiss / Kilman / Saka)

    VVD and Gabriel -> James and Rudiger(-4)? Will be bench boosting too. Gives me 10 doublers + Trent, Salah, Son, double Arsenal

  23. Duke Silver ☑
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Sofascore admins on the pish last night. They've had Wolves 1 nil up for the last 5 minutes.

    WC team.

    Sa 3.9
    TAA Cancelo Rudi Coady White
    Salah Foden Bowen ____ ____
    Broja Jimmy ____

    Also choose one:
    A) Ramsey McArthur Kane

    Or

    B) Sonny D. Luiz Dennis

    Also if you have any other suggestions they are very welcome.

    1. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A, though maybe Brownhill over McArthur?

      1. iL PiStOlErO
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Very good. Would do. Cheers.

  26. sunzip14
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    61 points with Bowen and Weghorst left and I was about to FH. Thanks to some valuable suggestions from here, I am left with both FHs (humble brag with feeling of gratitude 😀 )

    Dalot & Maupay > KWP & Jiminez for -4?

    1. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Decent enough

  28. L'Aeroplanino
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Antonio close

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Argh, close but no cigar

  29. Ze_Austin
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Jose Sa might be the best EPL transfer of the season

    1. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Easily

  30. Postman Ty
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Fernandes (c) blank was hard enough to take yesterday when he should have had a hatrick. I can't watch Antonio do this to me now.
