    Sold Raphina a few weeks back. Now he has a decent double are we thinking he is a good option. Looking to get rid of Bruno and Elanga. Coutinho his one MF in my thoughts so Raph could be the other. Not seen him play much recently so can’t make any judgement at all.

      Could be, especially if Leeds get that mythical new manager bounce!

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 7 days ago

        As a Sunderland fan, I can tell you that new manager bounce is very much a myth.

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 days ago

      Mount, Raphinha, and Coutinho all good options.

      Favouring Mount atm, but it's difficult to separate them.

    Missed the kickoff. Did Chelsea front anything to support Ukranie?

      Both captains came out with wreaths in the Ukrainian colours in support of the country.

    Fabinho no YC?
    If so, truly awful refereeing, again.

    1. Optimus.
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 7 days ago

      The ref has been decent actually

      1. Free Hat
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 days ago

        Fouls from Fabinho and Azpi are YC all day long...

  4. Jones Kusi

    Do I FH or WC this team now?
    Got both FH left and BB.

    1 FT 2.8 ITB
    De gea Gunnarsson
    Dawson Dalot Cancelo Taa Livra
    Bowen Salah Son Bernardo Brownhill
    Weghorst Jimenez King

    1. Fish up a tree
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 days ago

      WC for me as you have only 6 players who double in the next 2 wks so can set yourself up nicely

    2. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 days ago

      WC

  5. Nanoelektronicar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Chelsea have Liverpool right where they want them.

    1. Marvin.

      K

  6. Cali

    4 years, 7 days ago

    Thoughts on this WC draft?

    Sa, Duvravka
    Thiago Silva, Cancelo, Trent, white, armartey
    Salah, Maddison, Willock, Saka, Coutinho
    Kane, Adams, Hwang

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 days ago

      Needs more Son

      1. Cali
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 days ago

        Not sure that I want to commit to the double-up quite yet.

    2. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 days ago

      How many 29 & 30 players?
      Any plan for Chelsea?

      1. Cali
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 days ago

        7-8 players for DGW29 plus considering BB. 7-9 for GW30. Not sure which Chelsea asset to pick due to rotation so I think one defender might be a good start. Does all that sound reasonable?

    3. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 days ago

      Looks good. Only wondering have you BBed already? If you're going to do it soon, I'd try upgrade Amartey somehow. If have already or wont til 36/7, maybe Hwang - fodder, Willock - Chelsea mid?

      1. Cali
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 days ago

        Cheers. I was considering to BB in 29 right after my WC. That way I can introduce more fodders for the rest of the season afterwards.

      2. Cali
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 days ago

        Any Chelsea mid that seems mostly nailed? I feel like it’s pretty hard to pick one right now.

  7. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 days ago

    Ramsdale, DDG
    Trent, Rudiger, Cancelo, Coady, Livra
    Salah, Saka, Bowen, Raphinha, Coutinho
    Dennis, Antonio, King

    Need to address that fwd line, but only 1FT. 2.3itb
    1) Antonio > Laca
    2) King > Jimenez or Adams
    3) Save FT and go 451 in gw28

    1. Sandy Ravage
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 days ago

      I'd narrow down your front line to fit Kane in.

      1. Sandy Ravage
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 7 days ago

        Gonna need a couple of hits before DGW 29

      2. jdp219
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 days ago

        Yeah, that's probably a better idea, isn't it?

  8. Silecro
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 days ago

    Mendy with the double save of the season. Travesty he wasn't given best keeper of the year award

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

    Think Gelhardt gets some games now. Bielsa was super stubborn about not using him. James in that role is a hit and miss.

    1. Nanoelektronicar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 days ago

      It might be.

    2. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 days ago

      Good call, tbh. Think if Bielsa used Gelhardt a bit more frequently, Leeds would've done better than they've done this season tbh.

    3. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 days ago

      Hey, are you WCing for gw 28?

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

        Already used my second in 24. All I have is 2 FHs and BB.

        1. Botman and Robben
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 7 days ago

          Ah yes...my memory guess is not so good. Funny enough, I am thinking of using y 1st FH for 28 if Chelsea get a double.

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

            What's your team right now. I am thinking of taking a hit and getting a Chelsea defender. No Salah though in 28. Edouard + Davies to Gelhardt + James in 28.
            Bowen/ Raph + Bruno to ESR/ Martinelli + Salah in 29.

            1. Botman and Robben
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 7 days ago

              Those are good plans imo. This is how I am right now. Planning Bruno -> Mo

              Ramsdale
              Cancelo Coady* VVD TAA
              Bruno Bowen Ramsey* Son Saka
              Broja*

              Sanchez Maupay Weghorst Mee

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

                With that team you will have to use an FH in 30 also I think. Wouldn't you want to save the second for a big DGW later? I would look at getting a Chelsea def in my team long term rather than just for a week on FH.

                1. Botman and Robben
                  • 9 Years
                  4 years, 7 days ago

                  True, maybe get Salah and a -4 for James/Rudiger.

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

                    Yes.

  10. Warby84
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 days ago

    Sa Ramsdale
    Ait-Nouri Digne Cancelo Trent Robbo
    Mahrez Son Bowen Coutinho Salah
    Weghorst Dennis Broja

    Worth a bench boost, Ait-Nouri a slight issue though..

  11. Sandy Ravage

  12. Karan_G14
    • 9 Years

    Ramsdale
    TAA Cancelo Digne* Livra*
    Salah Bruno Raphinha* Saka
    Laca Broja*

    (Gunn King* Bowen Dier)

    Gunn, Bruno & Dier ➡️ Sa, Son & Rudiger for -8 and use BB?

  13. g40steve

    Crosses Mount off the list for dgw

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 days ago

      At least he's getting good chances.

  14. FPL Brains

    Mountain of chances being missed here.

    Would you WC this lot? Or use one of 2 FH

    DEGEA foster

      Nailed to wc immediately.

      1. Silecro
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 days ago

        Same here. There's another monster 18-pointer or two in him this season

  21. Silecro
    • 8 Years

    Cmon Reece, unleash hell

  22. FPL Brains
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 7 days ago

    Think if Chelsea get their GW28 double, that might be enough for me to trigger a FH.

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 days ago

      Same. If GW30 looks navigable without a FH, might use one in 28.

  23. King Kohli
    • 13 Years

    Would you BB this?

    Sanchez(new)

    Who has been the best RB in the Premier League era?

    Azpilcueta surely has to be up there.

    Zabaleta maybe?

    1. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Gaz

    2. Gunneryank

      4 years, 7 days ago

      Maybe Neville?

    3. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 days ago

      Dennis Irwin imo.

    4. @persecuted_by_mods
        4 years, 7 days ago

        Azpi easily for me

      • Ginkapo FPL

        Asm if fit.

        Too many Coady & need a better keeper than Sanchez.
