In our weekly series, Fantasy Football Scout contributors Sam, Neale, Tom and Az debate the best Fantasy Premier League (FPL) goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders and forwards for the upcoming Gameweek.

Six FPL players have been given full backing by all four of our panel, with Erling Haaland (£11.6m) unsurprisingly among the consensus selections.

There’s no Tottenham Hotspur or Chelsea representation at all, however, with those two clubs meeting in a tough-to-call clash at Stamford Bridge this Sunday.

ABOUT THE SCOUT SQUAD

Everything you ever wanted to know about the FPL Bonus Point System - part one

In this series, our four resident Fantasy Football Scout contributors each propose an 18-man squad of Fantasy players with the focus solely on the upcoming Gameweek.

Their selections serve as a long list for the Scout Picks, as the players nominated will then be narrowed down to a squad of 15 (with the starting XI not exceeding a total cost of £83.0m) for our final weekly selection ahead of Saturday’s deadline.

Each writer must meet the following requirements:

  • At least one sub-£5.0m goalkeeper
  • At least one sub-£5.0m defender
  • At least one sub-£6.0m midfielder
  • At least one sub-£7.0m forward
  • No more than three players from the same club

    Play one, put one first bench:

    A) Dunk (NEW)
    B) Pereria (wol)
    C) Neco (WHU)

    Captian:
    1) Salah v CRY (have TAA + Robbo)
    2) Haaland v BOU (Have Cancelo)

    On AB1 at the moment

    1. Saint Marvin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      AB2 for me

    Is my bench right?

    Ward
    TAA, Cancelo, James, Gabriel
    Salah, Diaz, Mount, Martinelli
    Haaland, Mitrovic

    Iverson, Bailey, Neco, Archer

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

      Yeah

    2. FPL Equilibrium
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yea

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

    So 1 point total this season for a 4.0 Leicester keeper? Sounds about right.

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

      The new goalie signing is third choice. Actually, this transfer is a good news, because they are surely not going to add a fourth keeper -- meaning Ward will remain the first choice for the season.

    2. Jordan.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      thats true but did the extra 0.5 enable an upgrade that did get points

  4. Tuchel Way
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Can anyone recommend me some good £4.5 options for MID other than Andreas.

    Leaning toward Colback lately.

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Reed who also plays for Fulham.

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        He played 90 minutes and on some of the set pieces.

      2. Tuchel Way
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Is he a nailed starter for Fulham?

        1. FOO FIGHTER
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Not sure but looks like it. Need to investigate further.

    2. banskt
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      DaSilva looked good for the time he was on the pitch. Reed, Colback, Lavia played 90 minutes. Colback will definitely not keep the starting spot, Lavia may claim a starting spot. No idea about Reed (Fulham).

    3. FPL Equilibrium
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Colback and Da Silva

  5. Cheeky Onion

    Planning on doing Kane + Cash > Haaland + Dunk

    A) Do it now, or wait til presser tomorrow and risk Haaland rising again

    B) Talk me into/out of it

    I like Tottenham's fixtures after this week, so If I ship Kane, will look to get Kulu in. Kane can be frustrating to watch when he constantly drops deep and not in the box when the final ball comes in. Despite the doom and gloom over Villa after last week, I don't mind having Cash this week. Will likely be shipping him by GW4, so the most practical hit on my team to take.

    1. GreennRed
      • 15 Years

      A

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

      A

  6. Steirish
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Mendy
    TAA Walker Saliba
    Aaronson Salah Kulu Martineli
    Darwin Haaland Jesus

    Ward / Andreas / Castagne/ Williams

    On wildcard, any glaring issues?

    1. Christina.
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      missing cancelo but you know that

      1. Christina.
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        get dunk in there, great fixtures

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

          I like the reliability of Dunk. Year after year in FPL.

    2. banskt
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      1) Going without Cancelo.
      2) Unpopular opinion, but Jesus may become an issue: Not on penalties, not enough goals, lots of tracking back. Although it would be an easy switch to Mitrovic / Wilson.

    3. Nanook
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Solid team, nice balance. No glaring issues. Quite like it.

      Although I see the appeal, I’d be tempted to move Aaronson to a 4.5/Dasilva.

      Then upgrade Castagne and Williams to Trippier and Dunk. Both of these defenders are nailed, play for better defensive teams, and also offer attacking threat plus set piece involvements. Play a 4-3-3 with an ability to avoid poor fixtures for defensive assists and account for rotation and injuries in your squad. Especially with an early wildcard.

    4. FPL Equilibrium
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Wild card this early! Oh dear

    5. PDM TOP 1,000 any Season kr…
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Prefer Jesus & Nico OUT for Cancelo & 5.0m

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

      Have the same team except I have zinchenko and trippier for your Castagne and Williams! Debating getting cancelo and should I have sake/Kulu or Maddison !

  7. mdm
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Darwin on 99.6%.. Must make the move tonight, right?

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

      Only if you want to buy Darwin for GW2 and think that's the best possible move for your team.

      "Must"? No.

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

        Of course I buy him. Only questions is now (before the press tomorrow) or after and lose the 0.1

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

          Then, in my opinion, do it now. No point losing the 0.1 if you want him long term.

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

            Think the same. Thanks

  8. ball c
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Any changes needed?

    Ward
    Cancelo - James - Trent - Robbo
    Salah - Mount - Bailey - Martinelli
    Jesus - Haaland

    Iversen - Andreas - Neco - Archer

    Thinking Mount to Mahrez or Foden.

    1. Joyce1998
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Stick with Mount mate. Foden + Mahrez not nailed.

      1. ball c
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers pal.. think I may do that

    2. FPL Equilibrium
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Could go Mount to Saka or Kulu depending on funds other than that looks good

    3. Man Chest Hair United
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Got the exact same team.

      I’m thinking mount to Foden or Gundo

  9. Randaxus
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I mean seriously can Man United sign anyone for a striker, literally a good consistent player like Ivan Toney or something, no one wants to join a sinking ship. I am not even a united fan and it is annoying me that they can't sign anyone.

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

      Last I heard, the best striker on the globe plays for their team.

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

        Last I heard he was in a wheel chair

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      They could try and get Balotelli

    3. MC Hammer
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Ronaldo or Cavani not good enough?

    4. MC Hammer
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      They seem scared of approaching good players and end up chasing bang average short term picks, very odd

  10. LarsV
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Ward (Iversen)
    TAA - James - Walker - Dalot (Neco)
    Salah - Son - Rashford - Bailey (Andreas)
    Haaland - Jesus (Archer)

    Any transfers?
    Also, Andreas or Dalot?

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

      I would play Andreas, Neco first on bench.

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

        Cheers

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I would play Neco. He is a talented wingback and playing at home plus 50/50 could get a clean sheet.

      Andreas is known to be a 2 or 3 pointer.

      1. waltzingmatildas
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        This

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

    In continuation of EO & 'the right (optimal) way to play FPL' debated on BlackBox yesterday I am curious to hear which decision you've made up to this point, that brings you joy going forward in FPL this season.

    For instance this is the first time, that I went with three attacking players from the same team (Martinelli, Saka & Jesus) from the get-go.
    I know it's not for everyone, but I feel great going forward, and fingers crossed the Gunners will score a minimum of two goals every game up until the IB.

    1. MC Hammer
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      8m for 2 keepers, ching ching

      1. Salarrivederci
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah - I could not help myself there either!

        Fielding Ward against my attacking Gunner trio is gonna be some watch on saturday!

        1. MC Hammer
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Goals and save points galore 🙂

          1. Salarrivederci
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Fingers crossed!

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Thank heavens there was no Neto Bailey Andreas who to sub repeat here.

    3. banskt
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      1) First time starting with 2 defenders from the same team - Robertson and Trent.
      2) Ignoring Jesus - the highest owned player. This decision, I think, will help me get a much better rank this year because there will be cheaper players who will outscore Jesus. For week 1, it was Wilson for me. Feeling extremely confident that I will always get players to outscore Jesus.

      1. Salarrivederci
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Nice one with Wilson, and sounds like a fun approach to this season. Still think he will come good. That attacking display from the Gunners looks more than decent this year!

        Also got the double Liverpool defense, but I find it a bit more painful/nervewracking!

      2. Gross Blank Point
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I've think the likes of Toney or Bamford will keep up with Jesus scoring wise, save a few million.

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

          Exactly. Its maximum 150-160 points from Jesus. Think the cheaper forwards can do that for me. The extra money gives a boost elsewhere in the team.

          Going with Mitrovic for GW2. 😉

          1. Salarrivederci
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Aggressive transfer strategy on mid-priced attackers sound very fun 😉 !

            Obviously I will/could be forced to part ways with Jesus if his price drops too much too quick, but I am looking (hoping) to be able to keep him til the IB.

            So yes Wilson outscored him last week, and Mitrovic might (though I really hope does not) outscore Jesus this week. But you got to factor in the transfers into the equation if you chop and change every other week against players keeping Jesus for (let's say) 6 weeks in a row and spend the transfers elsewhere.

    4. lugs
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      i went without Salah, i'm content with that decision as it allowed me to start with Nunez as my 3rd Pool player after TAA & Diaz, also only started with 1 premium which unfortunately was Kane, but who's now Haaland

      1. Salarrivederci
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Was ever only without Salah in my BB GW1, and I think 1 premium this year is a different way to approach the start of the season.
        GL next GW. If Nunez delivers again you're way ahead of the curve, and we will all soon be looking to bring him in.

        1. lugs
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          cheers, well i had a terrible start thanks to capping Kane, Salah cappers got a 20pt head start on me, but i do actually really like my team with only 1 premium joined by the likes of Jesus and Nunez up front, so no need to panic (yet 😆 )

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

      Playing Salah, Haaland, and Kane, the PK takers for 3 of the best teams. Also playing 3 Arsenal. It makes watching the City/Pool/Arsenal/Spurs matches fun and exciting for me. If Saka stays on PK duty might switch Jesus to Saka so I can have all 4 PK takers 🙂

      1. Salarrivederci
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Ah yes. The good old 'get the penalty takers' approach. That also brings me joy playing FPL knowing I got those around!

        Haaland was a bit lucky, but feels extra good going into GW2!

        Really hoping for some penalties for the Gunners now owning Ward, Jesus, Saka & Martinelli 😀

        Can't go wrong unless the penalty taker miss the target! 😀

    6. Firminooooo
      • 10 Years

      Håland and Kulusevski.

    7. DazF90

      First time ever using my bench boost in GW1, because why not!

  12. gomez123

  14. waltzingmatildas
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Think I'm going to have to bite the bullet and do Son and Greenwood to Andreas and Haaland for a -4. Then Mount to Kulu next week.
    Feels like I'm just playing catch up to the template though.
    Would you wc in this instance?
    Raya Ward
    TAA Robbo Cancelo Ait-Nouri Neco
    Salah Son Mount Martinelli Bailey
    Jesus Greenwood Archer

    1. MC Hammer
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No that’s a fine team, get Erling and you’re good to go

      1. waltzingmatildas
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers mate

    2. BeWater
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I think the -4 is ok. I wouldn't do Mount to Kulu in GW3 though and wouldn't WC.

      1. waltzingmatildas
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers, done!

    3. FPL Equilibrium
      • 4 Years

      I wouldn’t be doing anything after game week 1.

  15. Steirish
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Are Leicester likely to get any more keepers now? want to go with the duo 4 mil keepers

    1. MC Hammer
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Only a backup; Ward and Iversen seem safe in the first two slots

      1. FPL Equilibrium
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        This

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

      On wildcard, it'd be daft not to get the 8m duo i think. Unless you're going for a premium keeper set and forget.

  16. ☈☾

    Haaland might rise again tonight

    Darwin is going to for sure now on 99.8%

    1. MC Hammer
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Surprised he’s not going up by 3 this week

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

      Better buy Darwin now then

    3. Saint Marvin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      What is the 99.8% a reference to and where can you view it?

      The 100% price rise is not guaranteed even if it goes over, it’s just an indication

  17. The White Pele
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    A or B?
    A) Bailey to Gundogan for -4.
    B) hold & reassess 3th Man city spot later ( have Haaland & Walker).

    What do you need to see from Darwin Nunez in the next few weeks to make you think he's a viable alternative to Salah?

    Most of us are going to be WCing in the next few weeks and the team we build only has to last until GW16. Salah is so expensive that you can have Darwin & Diaz plus 1.5 left over for the same as Salah + 4.5 bench fodder.

    The only games I think I'd be hiding behind the sofa for between then and now are 13 & 14 (Forest away; Leeds at home). And we can probably plan to get him back in for then.

    1. MC Hammer
      • 14 Years

      Nothing, Salah is non-negotiable

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        *struggle*

      2. tuvok
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Maybe. In the weeks where you don't captain him though (which may be the majority) and Liverpool still have a decentish fixture, you could get more points from Diaz, Nunez, and a 5.0 defender than you do with Salah, a 4.5 forward, and a 4.5 defender.

        I'm not saying it's the way forward, but if they look nailed and decent Diaz & Nunez at those prices certainly beg the question.

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Check his hest map vs Fulham. Check it again vs Palace.

      This guy is going to park off in the opposition box. His stat from Fulham suggest the same.

    3. FOO FIGHTER
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I doubt he will struvgle to score

    4. lugs
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      i've seen enough already, the amount of chances Nunez gets means he's going to score a ton of goals, Nunez + 4m to spend elsewhere is a pretty big carrot to tempt you away from Mo, but that being said there is no reason why you can't squeeze in both

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I am keeping Salah and happy to jave Darwin

        1. FOO FIGHTER

          Apologies, I type very fast

            Not an excuse. Perfection more important than speed.

            1. FOO FIGHTER
              • 7 Years

      If I was going Salahless it would be TAA Robbo & Darwin. I currently have Robbo as my third pool.....so will Darwin out score Robbo? I have no idea at this point but will be monitoring for a potential switch to TAA Salah Darwin (get rid of Jesus).

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I think this will be Salah's last season at LFC i.e. Mane leaving.

        I may attempt going no Salah later in the season but he will just burn you.

    6. NorCal Villan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Mo is their leader

    7. Firminooooo
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      If Darwin gets starts and 70%-80% of Salahs point I will do the move.

    Sorry being thick but why are people wildcarding in the next few weeks rather than wait til later in the season?

    1. ☈☾
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Leaving it too late is not optimal. Best period is GW6-8

      1. Stranger Mings

        Is GW6 international break ?

      Play it when you you feel like playing it. Don't let anyone lambast you for being a critical thinker. Don't become a 'you can only play it in gw4, 5 or 11 whatever"

      It is your WC

    I think I've made a Rookie error messing with my W/C.
    I took out Martinelli and bought in Gundo but I hit the confirm transfer button.
    Have I lost the 0.1 now that I made on him?

    1. ☈☾

      Yes

      1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS

    Good evening all!! Thoughts on this WC… do I need to take this opportunity to go 3 up top??

    Sanchez
    TAA Cancelo Dias Zinchenko
    Salah Saka Martinelli Aaronson
    Haaland Darwin
    Subs- Ward Andreas Neco 4.5

    Thoughts welcomed!!!

    Cheers everyone!!

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      pretty good 😀 see mine below, we are like variants of one another

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Ah hah brilliant mate!! My draft in my team atm has that same front line and Kulu too, just incase they double rise, I’m really thinking I need to go 3 up top, and it’s would be Haaland and Mitrovic with one of Jesus and Darwin for more balance around the rest of the team

        1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          In fact the team I’ve got atm has Dias instead or Cancelo and Has Mitrovic too

        2. have you seen cyan
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Mitro will probably troll, but I guess I will risk it.

          1. have you seen cyan
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Wilson is a great safe option, but a mil more. I had Wilson in my original team, was hard to drop him...

            1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
              • 9 Years

              I’m looking at Toney too, amazing fixtures until the World Cup

          2. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Haha yeah he might mate but has some decent fixtures

              • 9 Years

              *Mitro that is

    2. Mancini
      • 6 Years

      Gone with three guaranteed starters and have added mitro

  23. have you seen cyan
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Is my WC team still ok? Been busy last few days so haven't kept track of what's happening. I saw Leicester signed a GK, but I may as well keep Ward, no other 4.0. Any issues?

    Sanchez
    TAA - Cancelo - Zinchenko - Trippier
    Salah - Martinelli - Kulsevski
    (H)aaland - Mitro - Darwin

    Ward, Dasilva, Andrea, Patterson

    1. Joyce1998
      • 10 Years

      I like that

    2. 1912 F.A Cup Winners

      Very tasty mate!!!

    3. Real Socially Distant
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Did Leicester buy a new GK? Who? Is Ward going to lose his place?
      Really nice team btw..similar to mine...just need to get rid of Bailey from mine

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        They signed a new keeper yes, check their tweeter maybes its on there, but they have.

        1. Real Socially Distant
          • 15 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I'll check now. Doh....I have Ward and Iversen as well

      2. Zimo
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        It's a 3rd choice keeper

        1. Real Socially Distant
          • 15 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Oh that's ok then...few

    4. tuvok
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I really like it. Why Patterson over Neco? Patterson could lose his place with Coady coming in? Dasilva could also lose his place with Brentford's new signing, so suddenly your bench is pretty thin, which might be costly when CL rotation kicks in for players like Darwin & Kulu. I would consider downgrading Tripps to a solid 4.5 and upgrading Patterson to another solid 4.5 so you've got a stronger bench

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        its mad how you identified the exact two areas of concern I had. I picked this team like 3am Sunday night or something, they were just space fillers as they got the most minutes. I cant lose trippier(nailed in all my drafts), I will get Nico ok, suggestions for dasilva?

      2. Zimo
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Coady is a CB and Patterson is a RWB.....

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          maybe who he is replacing can play rwb

          1. Zimo
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            I mean Mina and Godfrey are injured now. So he's there to play instead of them. Tarkowski and Holgate the other CBs probably. Coleman is a threat to Patterson but I'd still keep him over Neco Williams.

    5. Zimo
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Go Ederson and James over Sanchez and Cancelo. Then it's perfection. Andreas first sub. That's the best bench u can have with fodders.

      1. Zimo
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        That's pretty much my WC team as well then. With Walker and Robbo over Trippier and TAA. 0.5 itb for Walker to Perisic next week.

        Ederson
        Robbo James Walker Zinchenko
        Salah Kulu Martinelli
        Haaland Nunez Mitrovic

        Ward Andreas Patterson Dasilva

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          wow nice :D, walker is tempting

      2. have you seen cyan
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        that's pretty good in fairness, but James and Chelsea looked bad last week though, and Cancelo basically plays as striker half the time. Going without Cancelo is scary, I like Chilwell more then James also. But you have tempted my mind.

        1. Zimo
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Cancelo wasn't even close to an attacking return against West Ham. Don't be fooled by heat maps. He was basically playing DM. I've been saying this since preseason. Either he's going to be really wide with the wingers coming in to support Haaland where he might get a few assists from crosses or he's going to play this tucked DM where he won't get attacking returns as the 8s drive forward and he gets the assist of the assist. It's new tactics by Pep. Everything will go through Haaland. Cancelo's goal threat of last year is significantly diminished.

          1. have you seen cyan
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            I put James and Ederson in 🙂 value wise, it makes sense, ederson much better then sanchez. Still expecting James rotation or other bs tho lol, im expecting a 1 pointer this week 😀

            1. Zimo
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Haha yeah maybe. But longterm they're better than Sanchez and Cancelo.

              1. Zimo
                • 8 Years
                4 years, 1 month ago

                I really like that they've made the max limit for the premium keepers 5.5. They're finally an option this year. Wouldn't even consider at 6m.

            2. Zimo
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Could always do Salah to Son and James to Cancelo as well. But they'll score around the same as well. Just depends who you're comfortable going without.

          2. Zimo
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            It's not that he's a bad option. Its just there are better value options around. He'll still probably get around 170 points.

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

              Mandy/ward
              TAA Trippier Salina Zinchenko Walker
              Martinelli Salah Kulusevski Andreas Aaronson
              Haaland Mitrovic Darwin

              Lads pretty much sticking to this although might change kulu to saka or Maddison. Will moura richarlison challenge kulu seriously ?
              Thanks lads

            • 4 Years

            Got there in time. Went from Iversen, Cash, Rashford, Bailey, Diaz, Jesus to Pope, Saliba, Aaronson, Andreas, Saka, Darwin. Ok?

  26. ☈☾
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Darwin on 100% now

    !!!

    1. OverTinker
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      would love it if he blanks this GW :p

    2. Bluetiger1
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Great - will monitor as not enough funds at the moment & already have three Liverpool players

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

        Same, in all honesty if he performs like expected im happy to even buy him at 9.5

  27. OverTinker
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Play Ward or Raya?

    1. ☈☾
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Raya

  28. Milkman
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    So simple question.

    Would you for a 4 point hit swap Kane and Rashford to Darwin and Kulu?

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      yes

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

      Im thinking of the same moves.but over the next 2 weeks.x

    3. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Kane to Darwin this week and Rashford to Kulu next? -4 to bring Kulu in v Chelsea is unnecessary I’d say

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

      Absolutley not but it's your team do what makes you happy sir

  29. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Guess my W/C is set then.

    Foxes 4.0
    Robinson / Cresswell / Zinc
    Saka / Gundo / KDB / Diaz
    Darwin / Mitro / Haaland

    Andreas / Vallery / N. Williams 0 itb.

    1. OverTinker
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      no premium defense no salah?? just after first GW?

      1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Happy with defence, it;s not too bad. (except keeper maybe)
        I like all mu attackers.

    2. lugs
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      interesting team, looks great except for Valery who i don't think is nailed, Patterson could be a better bet, he just has an old and often injured Coleman to contend with

      1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Will look at that. Cheers!

        Definitely for now mate I agree, once Mitros fixtures stiffen Welbeck will probably be injured anyway haha

            Mate I’m seriously tempted to
            Go for him over Mitro now, Brightons fixtures are reallly good

              No one here will tell you to do that, its a gut move, its like capping Mitro, no one is gonna tell you thats a good idea. Some decisions only you can make, and those decisions define your team.

                Yeah that’s absolutely right mate, I think il play safe by deadline and go for Mitro to be fair, Will look at Welbeck if he stays fit in a few weeks or so
