    The 2 Coles going on like they've won the competition. Bloody hell.

      Fortunes always hiding.

    Few questions. Feedback would be appreciated as always;

    1. ML leader has Coady and 11 players, I only have 8. Shall I bring Coady in and peg myself as a -4? The upside is if Coady gets more than 4 points, I don't lose out. Downside is if Coady just gets 3 or less then I could have gained a point on him vs the hit.

    2. Any news on if James will be back for GW31?

    3. Ought I get Toney in for a hit? He'll be a differential vs ML leader. Then should I captain him?

      1. Don't pay any attention to your rival just play your game.
      2. He is back and may start in FA this weekend.
      3. Go for it

      1. Nah
      2. Dunno
      3. Probs not, Kane (c) for a hit maybe

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

      1. No
      2. Called up for England so appears to be fine for 31
      3. No

    Feel we could’ve done with Leicester going out (sorry Leicester fans)

    1. Dammit_182
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Na, routing for them to win the inaugural competition. What we need is vardy back for the weekend so I can spend my FH money

  5. Cheeto__Bandito
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Who scores more?

    A) Kane (C), Barnes -4

    B) Son (C), Watkins

    1. BeWater
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      A

  6. BantasyFootball
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Is Son essential in GW30? Want to avoid removing Salah, so will try to get Kulu in for Willock somehow.
    Already have Kane.

    1. BeWater
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      I have him. I don't think he's essential at all.

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Kulu over Son

    3. DycheDycheBaby
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      No. He has been a bit off it lately.

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

      Definitely not. Kulu is a great alternative

    5. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Kulu > Son

    6. Gunneryank
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      As a Son and Kulu owner, I think going with the triple of Kane, Kulu, and Doherty seems absolutely viable and good.

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

    Torn between the options below.

    A:
    GW30 - Save FT
    GW31 - Digne, Bowen and Watkins to James, Havertz and Gelhardt (-4)

    B:
    GW30 - Bowen to Barnes
    GW31 - Digne and Watkins to James and Gelhardt/Weghorst(-4)

    No FH. WC and BB left

    1FT 0.1ITB
    Ramsdale
    Tierney Doherty Digne*
    Raphinha Saka Kulu Bowen*
    Watkins Kane
    (Foster VVD TAA Salah Broja)

    1. BeWater
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      A

  8. Eddie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Anyone got the perfect FH team for me to copy? Thanks in advance.

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      FFS bus team

    2. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Yep, just send £50 in the post.

      1. Eddie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Done

      2. Eddie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Ooh, actually. As a Wolves fan any advice on what attacking Wolves asset to pick. Had Neto locked in til just seen he's injured. Jimenez is still in my starting 11 but not convinced, would you pick anone else?

        1. The Polymath
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 1 month ago

          Jimenez maybe starting a good run.

  9. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on Jonny?

    If nope, anything between Saiss and Coady?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      I like his attacking upside over Wolves CBs

  10. camarozz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Hwang definitely out yeah?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years

      https://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2022/03/17/fpl-gameweek-30-team-and-injury-news-leeds-and-wolves-latest/

      No news may be good news where Hwang Hee-chan (dead leg/lower back) is concerned.

      The South Korea international wasn’t pictured in training ground images on Wednesday but was called up by his country for the forthcoming internationals and wasn’t mentioned by name by Bruno Lage in the broadcast section of Thursday’s presser.

  11. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2 years, 1 month ago

    A) Wood to Ihenacho for one week and move to Weghorst the week after.
    B) Schar to Fofana or some defender

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      A - depends on Daka illness status. Not covid related
      B - Amartey

    2. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      I am in similar situation. However I am actually considering Toney over Nacho atm. Another consideration has been just going down to Gelhardt and getting Robbo/James later.

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Eriksen in the team may have improved Toney's chances. Haven't checked the stats though. Transfers are expensive though 🙁

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Evening all!! Best option here??

    A- Maddison and Martinelli
    Or
    B- Barnes and Odegaard

    Many thanks!!!

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Barnes and Martinelli

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers mate!! Even after Barnes minutes this evening??

  13. melvinmbabazi
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Willcock to Martinelli or Eriksen

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Martinelli - good pick beyond 30

  14. Big Ronnie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    1FT and £2.6m ITB. Want a Leicester player but don't want to get rid of any mids and forwards seem too risky.

    Ramsdale
    Doherty, Saiss, Digne*
    Saka, Kulu, Raph, Ramsey
    Kane, Antonio

    DDG*, Salah*, TAA*, Cancelo*, Archer*

    A) Digne to Tierney
    B) Archer to Toney
    C) Both for -4
    D) Something else (Coady instead of Tierney? punt on Leicester forward?)

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Digne to white

      1. Big Ronnie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers. The saving might be handy the next few weeks as well.

        1. Baps hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 1 month ago

          You have to sell Digne anyway. You could do it as well now, since you should get some immediate pts back.

  15. The_FF_King
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Willock to Kulu for free an easy transfer tonight ahead of price changes?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    2. DycheDycheBaby
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Sounds good to me.

    3. The_FF_King
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks chaps

  16. DycheDycheBaby

    2 years, 1 month ago

    Currently got 8 players for BGW30 but it's a little annoying when you got 4 midfield players available and the other midfielder left is Salah. Not a lot of choice in terms of defenders and strikers to go for.

    1. No Kane No Gain
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Exactly my dilemma. Looking for punt but it’s hard without selling salah.

  17. Firminooooo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Dennis and Digne to Antonio and Johnson (-4)? Very good fixtures after GW30. Keep Bowen.

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      I wouldn't do that.. Westham are playing spurs this week after playing tonight 120min.
      Not sure why you're considering those move tbh.

  18. klopptimusprime
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    those still with WC, when are you planning to use it,

    My current plan:
    GW30: play 9 (-4)
    GW33: FH2
    GW34/35: WC
    GW36: BB

    1. Percy Johnstone
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Similar thoughts here
      GW30 FH1
      GW33 FH2 (possibly)
      GW34/35 WC
      GW36 BB
      GW37 FH2 (possibly)

      1. klopptimusprime
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        you're so set to finish strong wow

        1. Percy Johnstone
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 1 month ago

          Looks like you are in a similar position, I have to play FH1 as only have 7 players for gw30 one of which is Digne. Good luck!

  19. rozzo
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Sa
    Ait Nouri
    Son Kulu Raphina Saka

    Ramsdale TAA Robertson Cancelo Laporte Salah Weghorst Broja Dennis

    1ft
    1.5 itb
    2 free hits

    Salah and Weghorst to Ramsey and Kane -4 sound OK?

    Leaves me enough to get Salah back in for Son and James in for Ait Nouri and switch to 541

    Cheers

    Does anyone know if Dewsbury-Hall is likely to start this GW? Is he a viable bench fodder option?

    MARK'S VIDEO DOESN'T WORK.

    He's sucking on a helium balloon and his microphone volume is on the lowest setting.

    Can we get a partial refund of our membership fees for not getting this membership benefit?

      Five years on here and still virgin? Mark still ignoring you it seems.

        Have you watched the video?

        It's amateur hour! So frustrating.

      Had to give Black Box priority after missing so many episodes

  22. OptimusBlack
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    If u have Sana and Laca would u get Martinelli or Maddison

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Saka*

    2. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      I don't see any issue having both Saka and Martinelli. Laca may have to go one day.

    3. Gunneryank
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      I would get Maddison (or maybe Barnes). With a hit i will have Saka and Laca and i wouldn't want a 3rd Arsenal attacker...and i'm a gooner. Ramsdale is just too valuable. Imo.

  23. BUZZBOMB
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    I love a successful David Moyes. Magic guy. Like me he's just too honest.

    1. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Lost so much respect for him after the Zouma incident

      1. BUZZBOMB
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Respect what you're thinking mate but we all make mistakes in life. He's a good, honest, guy. Morales, ethics andnattitude.

        As a complete neutral, I loved how the Cole twins ripped it up on BT tonight.

  24. putana
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    what to do:

    A) livra -> kilman to have 11 players

    B) save ft and play with 10

  25. No Kane No Gain
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    If chasing. Is digne to cash -4 worth it?!

    Only got 8 playing so far and done a transfer already.

  26. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Toney or Nacho?

    1. The Mighty Whites
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Toney

  27. The Mighty Whites
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    1FT, 2.0 ITB:

    *Ramsdale - Bachmann
    TAA - Cancelo - *Coady - *White - Livramento
    Salah - *Raph - *Saka - *Kulusevski - *Douglas Luiz
    *Kane - *Antonio - Wood

    A - Wood to Toney
    B - Wood to Jimenez
    C - Livramento to Doherty
    D - Livramento to Leicester defender
    E - two of the above (-4)
    F - other?

  28. JONALDINHO
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Which option would you go?

    A) Wood -> Toney this week and possibly Toney -> Weggy next week

    B) Salah -> Barnes / Maddison this week and Raph / Coutinho -> Salah next week

    C) Save FT (Currently have 9 players)

    1. Dwotle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      I have the exact same choices. Leaning toward B.

  29. klopptimusprime
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    the only players I can downgrade this week to sure up funds are:

    Salah
    Robertson
    TAA
    Cancelo
    DCL

    am I right to get rid of DCL despite his upcoming double? (Plan on WC34/35)

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

      DCL the best option to downgrade out of those listed

  30. School of Poch
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    A: Liv > Leicester defender (-4)
    B: Play 10

    Sa
    White Doherty
    Saka Kulu Raph Ramsey
    Kane Jimi Toney

    Foster Salah TAA Rudiger Liv
