    Hopefully kdb has another Madrid style mare against the toons

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I certainly hope that he doesn't!

    2. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Don’t say such things

    3. Tomerick
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Newcastle 1-0 win is the dream

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

    Didn’t deadline use to be an hour before kickoff?

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

      Yeah but team leaks happen 75 mins before kickoff so it got moved.

    2. Jock Grealish
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yes they changed it so no leaks

    3. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Changed at the start of this season

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

        Think it was last season

    4. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      90 mins for ages thanks to Rockstar leaks.

    5. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Your welcome by the way…

    6. Feanor
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      It should be half an hour.

      1. TRIPOS TOPPER
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Should be after the game has finished !

  3. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Best team for this GW - FH

    Pickford
    Alonso James TAA Robbo Cancelo
    Salah KDB Son Saka
    Richarlison

    1. Jock Grealish
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Most people have those players

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

      I can get 9 of those without FH

    3. mixology
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Team Value would need to be insane. One of the defenders or Richa would have to give

  4. The Final Boss
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Sitting at 5k, took -12 to bring cancelo Cash Gordon nketiah in place of white saiss kulu broja. Horrible feeling already. BB active also.

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Why soold kulu

      1. The Final Boss
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Coz my rival don't have him but he has cancelo nketiah cash and I have son also.

    2. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Great rank well done! Yea not sure about the kulu move he looked really sharp when he came on last week. Hope you have a good week

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

    Schmeichel **
    TAA, Alonso, James, Cash**
    Salah, Son, Kulu, Gordon**
    Richarlison**, Watkins**

    Foster, Cancelo, Dennis, Saka

    If you could get this for GW37 for free would you ?

    A) FH
    B) Save FH for GW38

  6. Hughes Your Daddy
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Butland, Clyne, Andersen, Guehi, Ward; Hughes, Eze, Gallagher, Olise, Edouard, Zaha - our reliable team leak source as usual, changes as expected with no Mateta or Guaita, probably academy players on from the bench.

    1. Moose™
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Mateta not even in the bench? Gg

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No Mitchell, Kouyate & McArthur. Need Dennis to feast 😆

      1. Hughes Your Daddy
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah - its abit worrying so many changes - cant let Roy get one over us with Watford 🙂

    3. YoungPretender
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Awful start to my BB with Mateta being my only SGW player

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Team predictions had him out with the gaffer saying Zaha starts up front.

    4. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Thankfully I cancelled BB.

      More hits next week!

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

      My timing with Mitchell was atrocious

  7. Random Name
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Every time I say Rice is not worth over 100m I get the response that I don’t know football and an incorrect take. No one can ever justify it though. My goodness if someone pays 150M for him, the Saudi’s bought an entire football club for two Declan Rice’s lol

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

      Pogba 90mil
      Maguire 80mil
      Lukaku 100mil
      Rice is definitely worth 100mil on that basis

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        None of those are worth the money any more

        1. Bobby Digital
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Pogba 55m
          Maguire 40m
          Lukaku 85m

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

          that's my point
          Rice plays a far more significant role for West Ham than any of them
          He's Quality

      2. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        This isn't a good basis

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

      150m becos he is English

      Like Kane, Grealish

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

        To be fair Kane is as good as any striker out there across Europe and if 150m is the going rate surely he’s value for it

    3. Klaren
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      It's the price West Ham is valuing at, it doesn't mean anyone thinks it's the fair market price (and it's not), including West Ham.

      Clubs can set any price for their players, it's just arbitrary and usually to create publicity and start from as high a point as possible when negotiating.

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

      Transfermarkt value him at 75 million Euros, but it's highly unlikely West Ham would consider selling for that. There will always be a difference between "intrinsic" value and price, especially for home grown players.

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

    So what did everyone do? FT, -4/-8/12, FH, BB?

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

      BB -4 to bin Ramsey for Gordon

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Missed the deadline so saved a transfer 🙂 I was planning a -4

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

      Saved an FT and will be fielding 15 DGWs on BB

    4. Doug McCasual
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      -8
      white werner coutinho out
      mahrez alonso richarlison in

      1. Doug McCasual
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        15 Dgw'ers on a BB..what could possibly go wrong?

    5. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      -8. The Ramsey injury & Mateta benching pushed me into hit territory. Had 2FTs too!

    6. Forgetmeknot
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      -12 BB.
      14 doubles and smegweg.

    7. Sharkytect
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      BB -4 rich and Watkins in

    8. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      - 8 and no chip used

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

        1FT Pickford in. I've got 14 DGW players but no chip left. I feel my Starting XI can hold its own with FH and WC rivals but anyone using a BB should do me.

    9. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      2FT

      Weggy Broja ➡ Pukki Dennis

    10. Union_Jacks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      -4

      BB

      Sa, Schar, Broja > Schmeichel, Matip, Dennis

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

      Took no hits and brought in jota for Barnes. Not expecting much don’t think he plays the spurs gAme but hopefully something vs villa

    12. Big Mac 24
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I have -12 Bench boost, KDB in and C. Transfèred Mount and Coutinho out, seem to have maybe gained a step there although anything is possible in dgw

  9. Firmino
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    All I want is Broja to start!

    1. boc610
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Be handy if he stopped running into players and actually held onto the ball when he does play

  10. :
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Free Hitting is going to be fun this week. Could conceivably end up with a team littered with Palace, Burnley, Everton, Villa & Wolves players! 😀

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

      Would you FH this to bring in more players from those clubs ?

      Schmeichel **
      TAA, Alonso, James, Cash**
      Salah, Son, Kulu, Gordon**
      Richarlison**, Watkins**

      Foster, Cancelo, Dennis, Saka

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

        No, you're set. Would FH38 that

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

        Personally, I'm going in deep with DGW players with perhaps only Salah & Son to keep them company. If it works it could be a rank buster!

    2. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      First FH draft

      Pickford
      Cash Mings Trent
      Cout Zaha Gordon Salah Son
      Vardy Richarlison

      Schmeichel | Anderson, Guehi, Richardson

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

      Didn't look at any drafts yet but I know I'm going to be so tempted by Vardy even though it's destined for disaster. Off the top of my head, I imagine I'll go with Mina, Zaha, Collins, Ings as a punt if he starts this week. I do feel like I'll still have a few SGWers though.

  11. GoonerGirl
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Guys, not happy with my transfers really. My BB isn't great now with Mateta. Thinking I should have taken a -8 to get Gordon and Schmeichel or Gordon and Nketia in as well as Dias.
    BB is Dubravka, KDH, Matip and Mateta.

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

    Any news on the White man?

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

      He must be stopped at all costs

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

    SCENES?

  14. Sharkytect
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Did I DEFINITELY press the bench boost button?

    Feels like wondering if I turned off the stove before going on holiday. Not much I can do about it now

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

      Checked my team about 8 times in the 5 mins before deadline just to be sure

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

      Fingers crossed, my GW37 BB didn't register a couple of seasons back and I ended up gaining just a single point from it in GW38.

    3. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Always squawk like a parrot when activating a chip to help you remember if you did it already or not https://youtu.be/L8W-5LTrwjM

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

      I checked mine a few times. Haha.

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

      Not a fun feeling especially as the game will probably take a while to update with a lot of chips in play. Good luck!

    6. mrodgers91
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Exact same position, I know I clicked it about 5 days ago but forgot to check

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

    OMG I just realised I forgot to activate BB noooooo

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

      Oh jeez, that’s a pain!

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      At least there's a DGW next week. Still applicable at all?

    3. tokara
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      might save u instead

    4. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Basic stuff

    5. GoonerGirl
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      That's annoying. Play it next GW or 38. Could still work out ok. What was you BB?

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

      Pressed mine a week ago to ensure the same thing didn't happen to me for the second time in three seasons.

  16. GoonerGirl
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I actually hate BB. Think I'll just get it out the way early next season.

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

      I love BB

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          4 years, 1 month ago

          BB is king

        • Forgetmeknot
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Same - it might bring the most points out of the chips but for me is the most fun

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

            Might not*

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

        if u dont like it, u can dont use it AT ALL

        1. GoonerGirl
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I usually like it, not this season though.

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

            good luck to u this week!

            1. GoonerGirl
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Thanks, you too.

        2. Pasqualinho
          • 17 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I still have four unused all out attack chips.

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

        Yeah, BB did my head in the last few days.

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

        Sounds like Official FPL are considering doing away with it, I think I'd like something different myself

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

          Played mine GW2 to get rid. Got a triple Seagulls haul out of it, putting me in Top 1K and keeping me in the Top 5K until mid-season. Nice feeling while it lasted. Late chippers overtaking me now, mind.

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

            Nicely done. I used mine in DGW26 and ended up just short of 150pts so i couldn't complain, but it just feels like one that can end up being wasted so easily

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

              Where did you read/hear OfficialFPL are considering ditching it?

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

                Few accounts on Twitter said they/others received feedback forms from them regarding changes. Some stuff mention was removing BB chip, twisting captains (like UCL FF), partial clean sheet points and I think there was one other that I've forgotten

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

                  I'd be up for a few minor improvements myself.

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

          Fingers crossed.

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

      No Mount or Havertz (Rockstar)

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

        OMG

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

        WOW

      3. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Probably means they haul against Leeds instead 😆

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

          Mount been awful for me.

        2. @persecuted_by_mods
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Havertz might not start both

          • Stamford B
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Good

        3. Union_Jacks
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years

        Really thought Havertz would get the Wolves game. Bummer.

        Week's already started poorly

        My FH team:

        Mendy
        Alonson T Silva TAA Cancelo
        Saka Salah Diaz Mahrez Madison
        Jesus

        Foster Nketia Justin Gordon

        It will be updated now or after 30 minutes?

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

          Usually takes about 40 mins or so after deadline. Maybe tad longer with extra chips/games in play. Just a guess though.

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

            Yeah, I think 50 mins or so today with all BB's in play...

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Can take longer during weeks people use more chips.

        Of course Mount is benched.

        I own him.

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Get him lads

            So do I
            Owned by 25% or so, it is ok

            It's a DGW and they play Leeds next. Benching is grand.

            1. Hazz

              • 8 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Weirdly Leeds defense is probably a bit better than Wolves lately.

              They also play a cup final on Saturday. Two cameos incoming

              1. bench boost for every gamew…

                Not surprised as Havertz owner, as Tuchel is a decent man and Wolves got nothing to play for but a Leeds does, which is more fair to Leeds's competitors in the survival battle. And you can argie, Tuchel thinks its better to have a competetive match vs a team that will fight like hell as to prepare his team for what will come on sunday.

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

          Coutinho benched

          1. @persecuted_by_mods
              4 years, 1 month ago

              So annoying

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

              The lean mean Digne machine starts. Will it be 12 pointer or a -2?

                • 14 Years
                4 years, 1 month ago

                Gerrard a set out a 3421 formation which could be good for Digne and Cash owners

              Ouch 🙁

                Sold Kulu instead of him...

              I sold him for Diaz, will feel smug until Diaz is then benched tonight.

            Chelsea trying to throw away top 4?

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

              Nah, but they do have a cup final coming up, so a few 60 min/45min run-out this week makes sense.

            2. Hazz
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Our usual XI has been a bit poor lately. It needed a freshen up.

            Coutinho benched. Was due.

            1. Union_Jacks
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years

              Not an owner but thank you for throwing in your two pennies worth there

                You're welcome 😆

                But seriously there was a bit of a clamour to see Buendia start & Coutinho hasn't done much in recent weeks.

            So only difference between my FH and that of LR is Kasper vs Mendy.
            Nice.
