    426 points with 11 plus captain to play any good?

  4. maltasi

    So be truthful lol. How many times did you tinker with your squad/starting eleven today?

    And did anybody make a 6.29pm (uk time) change?

    1. ☈☾
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      200 times and yes

    2. Dreams
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Too many times. Took out Cancelo in the last minute.

    3. Podge
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I've tinkered so much that no matter who scores I had them and took them out at some stage 🙁

    4. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Once and No.

    5. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      0. Barely touched my team this year

    6. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      switched Bailey to Neto to play
      Bailey bench

    7. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Strangely 0. (Okay, I swapped Ward/Iverson and bench spaces around, but hardly counts.)

    8. Wirtzle Gummidge

      Just flitting between Zincenko and Gabriel

      Settled on Zinc

    9. Chris_l25
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Honestly, only made 2 changes which was Sanchez down to Ward and Ait Nouri up to Digne. Here's hoping it comes off

    10. lugs
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      not that much, just deciding who my last 8m mid was gonna be

    Rate my non owned team…
    Mendy
    TAA James Perisic Trippier
    Son Diaz Foden Mount
    Haaland Jesus

    Eek

    1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      You thought of a team too late bud!?!

  8. Hits from the Bong
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Do we think Perisic will eat into Son's points when he plays?

    1. Tomerick
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Maybe the bonus

    2. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Nah. Not convinced. He'll be good. But not that good FPL worse

      1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Wise

  9. Tomerick
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    When’s the deadline everyone? I need to make sure I finish my team beforehand.

    1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Lol

  10. Dynamic Duos
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Who went Neto and Trashford then?

  11. PartyTime
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Can’t believe Díaz is a differential 😆

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      He had over 25% ownership

  12. The Philosopher
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Done a madness this season, ie, not looked at the team on deadline day. GL all.

  13. el polako
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    KDB is my differential.

    1. The Philosopher
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      So is mine. GL mate

      1. el polako
        • 9 Years

        To you too,pal !

      1. Not again Shirley
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Salah is my differential!

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

      Son and Kane together is mine.

    4. One Man
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Wilson is mine, also went with Son.

  14. lordkippe
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Here we go! .5Itb

    Ward ( Iversen )

    TAA - Cancelo - Trippier - Digne ( Williams )

    Salah(C) - Saka - Kulusevski - Aaronson ( Andreas )

    Jesus - Haaland (Vc) ( Dervisoglu )

    Good luck all

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Good team

    2. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I have Aaronson too, staggered he was less than 1% owned, seemed a no-brainer after last weekend and a good looking game V Wolves.

  15. JayKay1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone else in a work league with just a single multi-year nemesis to beat?

    1. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      20+ in the league and yep, usually the same two at the top

      1. JayKay1
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Got 40 this year, which will be fun, but just me n 'him' battling it out...

        Not sure why it defines things for me, but, well, sh*t :o)

    2. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I am the Nemesis

    3. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Yep. We've been flip flopping for many years!

    4. EL TANO
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Last season the mongrel hauled me in to win by 1 point on the last day

  16. PascalCygan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    I was pretty set against a threemium for the past few weeks but I ended up going for it.

    It might end up going horribly wrong but I feel like a hit or two could get me back to a more balanced team.

    Decided to take a risk and have some fun. Good luck to you all!

    Ward
    TAA James Walker Cash
    Salah Son Martinelli Bailey
    Haaland Jesus

    Iversen Andreas Neco Archer

    1. Berkshire Hafaway-Line
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Same here. Double 4.0 keepers opened it up

      1. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Indeed. Here’s hoping it pays off!

    2. One Man
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I’ve Salah & Son too, great thing about owning Son is he can be rotated with KDB.

      1. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Yes, juicy!

        1. g40steve
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          True, that sold it to me not being able to squeeze them in when they go on a run has destroyed me before!

    3. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Ditto,

      Ward
      TAA James Walker Tripp
      Salah(C) Son, Martinelli Bailey
      Hahaland, Jesus

      Iversen Neco Andreas Taylor

      1. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Nice one, mate. Good luck to us!

        1. g40steve
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          We are missing Cancelo but 5 out of the 6 highest owned cannot be far off?

          1. PascalCygan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            He was the biggest wrench. Hopefully he underperforms his xG again!

      2. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I struggled with who to start Son & Hahaland vs KDB & Kane but having the 12 allows flip flops

    4. Dosh
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Similar except no Trent. Switch to Kdb or Kane in week 2. WC if it all goes tits up!

      Ward
      Robbo James Trippier Dalot
      Salah Son Coutinho Bailey
      Kane Jesus

      1. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Nice!

  17. Gubby-Allen
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone else own Aaronson?

    Quietly confident on a good score from him.

    1. Andy_Social
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      see below 🙂

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Keep it quiet then

    3. Avery
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Yep, got him.

      Ended up with Bamford too somehow today!

  18. Herger
    • 5 Years

    Big Jase has gone No-Salah

    1. Herger
      • 5 Years

      Looking forward to seeing Ryan’s team

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Brooooooo I thought I’d been hacked!

    3. The Philosopher
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Who's Big Jase?

      1. Herger
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        You must know Big Jase

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Bigman Jase

          1. Herger
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            That’s the one!

      2. Podge
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Who cares 😆

    4. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I haven't gone for Salah either. About 1.5m away and did not want to take any others out. Choice of him or Haaland. I have 4.5 in the bank, so easy enough to bring him in.

  19. El Presidente
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    This was really amazing

  20. Andy_Social
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    My 1% differential is gonna smash it. C'mon Aaronson!

    1. TwiggsJameson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Don't you mean Eversden?

    2. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      My 0.3% differential is going to do okay. C'mon Collins!

    3. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I was close to having him Captain too. Switched between him Jesus and Haaland, went for the latter.

    4. Avery
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Awesome pick 🙂

  21. @persecuted_by_mods
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Wow Smelly Simon has got Trippier on his bench

    1. Herger
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Si is so anti-template bro

  22. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Best of Luck Everybody!

  23. The Philosopher
    • 6 Years

    Gone for double Leicester GK. Was it madness?

    1. TwiggsJameson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Well done my son.....

    2. Sailboats
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      It's okay, for now

    3. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Ballsy - I went Sanchez and ward

    4. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Sensible and safe

    5. DycheDycheBaby
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Maybe for a couple of weeks!

    6. Chris_l25
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I did the same. It was the difference between having Ait Nouri or Digne. Should be fairly easy to find 0.5 if we need to

  24. ☈☾
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Every content creator picks the template team because that's what helps them finish top 10k consistently every year!

    They're too scared to risk it and lose their rep

    1. Herger
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      You must not have seen what Dave’s done!

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
      4 years, 2 months ago

      What about Lateriser, he's the least template player I know

      1. Herger
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Who’s Lateriser?

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
          4 years, 2 months ago

          His real name is fpl sonaldo (Andy)

      2. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        😮

    3. Andy_Social

    After the million changes and scraping around for every bit of extra cash I never thought I'd hit the deadline with 0.5m in the bank

    1. JayKay1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      That could be mint mate, waned to, but never made iwork...

    2. One Man
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      You could buy yourself a new house with that!

    How many of us took out Peresic in the final hour?

    1. Podge
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      No way he's leaving my team

    2. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Not sure but happy you all did

    3. HippY
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I did, never felt great having him just because of the GW2 fixture tbh

    4. a wat di rass

      Nah, Gabriel 1st bench, why would I...

      Know it's CHE away GW2, but as he's the second coming and all that, why's that an issue?

      Nah. I did when the LEI keeper opportunity opened up, but would have anyway with the uncertainty that filtered through earlier today.

    The game is sometimes updated after half hour and sometimes an hour, which will it be today?

        GW1, we'll be lucky if it's live by the time the game kicks off...

        I'm off for a snooze, my F5 finger already hurts :o)

    What player that is less than 10% owned do you think will fire ? I think Wilson.
