    Aiming to build a team in GW 30 without using a FH. Currently have the 6 outfield players not playing in that GW. Do I offload one this GW with a FT or save and use 2FT and a potential hit to change the team for GW30? Team below

    Doesn't play in 30
    Broja
    Liv
    Salah
    TAA
    Rudiger
    Cancelo

    Sa
    TAA Cancelo Rudiger
    Salah Saka Kulu Raph
    Kane Jimi Broja

    Foster White Liv Ramsey

    1FT 0ITB

      I would offload one for an Arsenal or spurs player take advantage of 3 fixtures v 1

      1. School of Poch
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Who would you offload and who for?

        Already have defence covered with White and don't fancy double up for those fixtures. Not keen on losing Liverpool assets so would leave Broja > 5.5 forward of which there are no options for Arsenal or Spurs. Unless I lose Rudiger or Cancelo for a Spurs defender but would any of those be worth starting this week over anybody I already have?

    So tempted to take a -4 hit, James & Hoever out for Doherty & Reguilon GW29 so I can have a full squad and BB. Also means I'll have 9 or 10 for BGW30

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Oft double spurs defence is brave

  3. Golazo1357
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Current Squad:
    Foster/Guita, TAA, Cancelo, Cash, White, Rudiger, Jota, Salah, Saka, Coutinho, Laca, Dennis, Broja

    Thinking -4 or even possibly a -8 this week...

    A) Jota to Diaz and Bowen to Kulu
    B) Cancelo to Robbo and Jota to Kulu
    C) Jota to Sonaldo and Bowen to Kulu
    D) Some other transfers you see (please list)

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Why lose Jota for a hit? He could be the golden goose!

      1. Golazo1357
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Because Jota played 83' in CL this week and Luis Diaz is taking his spot....Jota definitely will not start both games of the DGW

        1. ILOVEBAPS
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          I don’t think Diaz will either.
          If you want to take the risk then I guess B.

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I would stick with Jota

  4. Tonyawesome69
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Son or Kane (-4)?

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Son

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I should specify I don't have either of them yet. Son with a FT or Kane (-4)

    3. Qui-Gon-Joe
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Whose the other half of the -4?

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Son and King vs 4.4m and Kane (- 4)

    4. basilfawlty
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I’d get Kane. He’s in awesome form, best captain for 30, plus Son is regularly getting hooked early

  5. waldo666
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    1FT and 1.4 ITB

    Thoughts appreciated.

    Ramsdale*
    TAA* Rudiger Cancelo
    Raphinha Salah* Saka* Willock*
    Kane* Jimenez Broja

    (Dubravka* Ramsey Livramento Coady)

    A) Raph to Kulusevski
    B) Ramsey to Kulusevski and bench Raph
    C) Something else

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Raphinha is a tough one. Unlucky against LEI but not great tonight. Norwich next though

      1. waldo666
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah it's tough for sure, Leeds were just woeful as a whole.

    2. ILOVEBAPS
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Raphinha killed my tank this GW but he gets a stay of execution just because it’s Nor. Who knows he may get something.
      Hold the rage.
      C. Ramsey to Gordon?

      1. waldo666
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Yep, I captained him!! Will take Ramsey to Gordon under consideration, cheers.

        1. ILOVEBAPS
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          I did too 🙁

  6. Energetics
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Ramsdale
    Taa Robbo Doherty
    Salah (TC) Saka Kula Coutinho Raph
    Kane Pukki

    Dubravka ThiagoSilva Broja Saiss

    Guess the biggest question is who to bench and order of subs?

    Have I got it right?

  7. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Seeing Kane on pretty much every single team on here is scaring me!
    But I really can’t find an obvious way of getting him in without at least a -8, particularly when it’s King that needs to go rather than Jimenez who hopefully should play in BGW30 (though not guaranteed!)

    Current team:
    Sa
    TAA Robbo Tierney Reguilon Cancelo*
    Salah Son Saka Foden
    Jimenez
    Foster Broja Bowen* King*

    Thoughts on:
    A) Save FT for GW30
    B) Cancelo + King to Amartey + Lacazette (-4)
    C) Foden to Kulusevski
    D) Cancelo to Doherty
    E) Other ideas?

    1. jonnybhoy
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      C+D?

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Have Reguilon stinking up my team so would have 4 Spurs lolly
        If I did C, I would probably look at bringing in Toney for King (but probably the following week) given I quite like the Leicester fixture in the blank and his nailedness
        Think Foden more likely to play this GW, but Cancelo would rather hold longer term due to value I have in him

        1. jonnybhoy
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Has to be C then imo

          1. Sun Jihai
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Makes sense

    2. banskt
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I think I would save the FT. Decent team this week and gives you more options to tinker in GW30.

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks, think I‘ll just wait on news.

  8. jonnybhoy
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    This worth a BB?

    Dubravka* Kilman Jimmy Digne

    1. Energetics
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Definitely not imo

  9. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Who scores more across GW29 / GW30:

    1. Saiss Coutinho Kane
    2. Robertson Son Jimenez

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      2

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      2.

      I think Son has a shot at top scoring player this week. Both opponents are weak to fast transitions and he's the king of those.

  10. banskt
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Suggest me the best defender to buy for *GW29 only* (except Liverpool and Cancelo). Money doesn't matter.

    A. Gabriel / Tierney / White - Great options long term but for GW29, their fixtures are difficult. Leicester and Liverpool both difficult fixture, but Arsenal has the home advantage.
    B. Dier / Davies / Doherty - Spurs have been inconsistent. Clean sheets against Leeds / Everton does not mean they will be able to do so against United and Brighton, especially away from home.
    C. Stones - City defense has the highest chance of a clean sheet this gameweek.
    D. Everton defenders - Poor form, but two home fixtures. Their home form is still ok; one cleanie?
    E. Newcastle defenders - second best form in the league, but can they keep a clean sheet away from home?

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Doherty for me

      1. banskt
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Even though there's a definite risk of him not playing both matches?

        I am definitely considering him but somehow feels like chasing past points.

        1. dunas_dog
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          I think he will play both. Emerson is pretty hopeless

          1. banskt
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Agree with that.

            I think I am leaning towards Doherty, but clean sheet chances are pretty low for Spurs in both matches. Attacking returns has to make up for them.

  11. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    To triple up with Ramsdale and Saka

    A Tierney
    B Martinelli
    C Lacazette
    D Ødegaard

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      C then B

    2. ManUtdForLife
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      B

    3. banskt
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Lacazette.

    4. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      B seems the best value

  12. Mighty
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Wildcard:

    Ramsdale, Foster
    TAA, Robertson, Doherty, Rudiger, Amartey
    Salah, Kul, Saka, Raphina, Brownhill
    Kane, Lacazette, Jimenez.

    9 DGW players for GW29.
    9 players for GW30.

  13. Teahupo'o
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Is Kane worth losing Coutinho?

    Dubravka
    TAA James White
    Salah Son Saka Coutinho Raphinha
    Jimenez Lacazette

    (Sa, Broja Saiss Digne)
    1FT .5ITB FH WC BB

    A) James Raphinha ➡ Doherty Kulu -4
    B) James Coutinho Jimenez ➡ Doherty Gordon Kane -8

    1. sulldaddy
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Villa games not great moving fwd.
      Kane in form. Most strikers stink

        Thanks

  14. boroie

    How accurate is http://www.fplstatistics.co.uk?

    Is there any chance that James will price drop tonight?

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Nah. FPL Towers don't want him to drop. They under-priced him.

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Shouldn’t drop tonight.

  15. ManUtdForLife
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    I’ve tried stopping people from selling Coutinho & Raphinha as much as possible tonight so I think I’m allowed to say it - I’m excited that people are selling them anyway.

  16. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …

    Never again Ward Prowse. Get the F out forever

    1. Milk, 1 Šuker

    2. mr messi

      1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Broja as well. Still got 80 which seems ok.

        Glad Jimi came through still

    3. DycheDycheBaby
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      But he's gonna haul against Watford 😀

    4. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Set pieces is the only thing he offers really

      1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        I have to pick two of Jimi, Broja and Ward Prowse next gw.

        Jimi is playing

    5. NorCal Villan
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I fell hard into that trap

  17. Milk, 1 Šuker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Cashy the performer of the GW in my book. Who's yours?

    1. camarozz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      My rival. 121 pts.

    2. zon
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      James. Didn't even need another game

    3. banskt
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Less points, but I would say KdB. The way he destroyed Man United!

      1. ManUtdForLife
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        We could all do that in fairness

    4. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Defo

  18. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 3 Years

    Saka or Kulusevski going up anytime soon?

        No it doesn't. I just asked a simple question, but thanks.

    Already done JWP to Saka.
    Is James to Doherty worth a hit?
    KWP to Tierney? Both? No FH30

    Dubravka
    TAA James KWP Saiss
    Salah Son Saka Raphinha
    Kane Broja

    Sa Hwang Ramsey Digne

    1. sulldaddy
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Id sell James. Too much money to be dead on bench.
      Kwp to Tierney less of a sure, thing.
      ARS matchups not great TBH

  22. Botman and Robben

    1. banskt

      B among those two. Can't see many clean sheets this week.

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers. Also looking at gw30 players as I want to avoid a FH.

  23. jonnybhoy
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone got any analysis on how Mun Utd + Brighton are down the left side for chances conceeded with so many going for Doherty + Kulu?

    1. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah my analysis is Luke Shaw is only interested in NFTs these days and has chips and mash when he eats out and Harry Maguire is an actual clown and drives a little clown car.

      Hauls incoming for kulu and the doctor

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Good Q
      MUN noticeably weaker in recent games on their right side (so favouring the Spurs LWB). Conceded twice as many chances here vs left and a number of actual assists vs. zero on the other side.
      BHA it’s the other way around but less clear cut.

      1. jonnybhoy
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers. Reg could be a good differential this week especially if you have Kulu for the right side. Food for thought.

      2. bench boost for every gamew…
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        That would suggest, with Doherty's knack for coming inside when left side swungs in, a lot of Doherty goals from Wolves came tgst way, bursting into the box from right hand side and scored.

  24. Saka Rice
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    King has had 1 assist and 0 goals in the last 14 games. Is there a playing striker with a worse record than that?

    1. banskt
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I offer you Jay Rodriguez. Pretty sure his returns are lower. Haven't checked.

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Ronaldo not much better for 12.3m
      1 goal, 0 assist in last 8 appearances

    3. ManUtdForLife
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Ronaldo’s probably not far off

  25. Zimo
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Captain Son or Salah?

    I see many people starting likes of lBroja Ramsey and Kilman swhile bench boosting with likes of Saka Robertson and calling it a success

    Lets not kid ourselves. Deep inside they really know who the real bench fodders are.

    James ➡️ Doherty

    Wilock ➡️ Kulu - 4

    (have Kane)

    1.3itb to do Rudiger➡️James when he's fit again.

    Means I can keep Havertz + Raphina for their 'easy fixture'

    Who to start...

    Sa or Dubravka

    I'd fancy Sa for a clean sheet but Dubravka has a double so torn

      Only behind Liverpool in the PL form table:
      https://thefishy.co.uk/formtable.php?table=1
      The FPL site showing them as a ‘green’ opponent fixture is a big trap!
