    Jesus to Mitro here. More points dodged and goodbye green arrow.

    1. FPL Daniel
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, I did that in the blank GW since I had 2 FTs. It is what it is, just accept it and move on

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

        Still think Mitro gets more over the medium term. These moves seem to have immediately gone this way for me all season though.

        Toney to Kane the week he got the hattrick being particularly rough.

    2. JBG
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Same.. cause I expected Arse match to be off. Oh well.

  2. MIGHTY JOE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Wildcarders in absolute disbelief

  3. Deulofail
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Chilwell the only defender with as many points from attacking returns as Saliba, I believe

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 1 month ago

      The new Lord Lund?

  4. FPL Daniel
    4 years, 1 month ago

    In GW 7 postponement the right transfer was selling TAA not Jesus in hindsight, but it is easier said in hindsight, that's why this game is so fun and addicting.

    I've decided that after the blank I'll get Jesus back most probably

    1. Sharkytect
      4 years, 1 month ago

      In gw7 we didn’t know that the gw8 Liverpool match would be postponed

  5. Botman and Robben
    4 years, 1 month ago

    C'mon Toney, grab 2 and equalize.

    1. DRIZ ✅
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Toney looking Phoney today

  6. Bubbles1985
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Jesus to Kane not looking as good now for me...

    1. DRIZ ✅
      4 years, 1 month ago

      lol

    2. FPL Daniel
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I have Kane captain so I am happy with that decision

      1. Bubbles1985
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah me too but i would've had Jesus captain. Possibly.

      2. Bubbles1985
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Still a while to go in this match, is what i was getting at.

    3. GreennRed
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I wanted sell Jesus but kept him cos I was down to starters and 2 FT. Kane much more consistent but there's a premium.

      1. PartyTime
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Same but no point selling Jesus. Stats good & no international duty. Fully rested for the NLD

  7. PascalCygan

    Actually find it quite funny that more of the players I sold on wildcard have returned than those I brought in. Scrub yesterday’s (relatively) big green arrow!

    1. Gizzachance
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Similar Jesus to mitro
      Double city def for double new def
      Kept cancelo

  8. DRIZ ✅
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Big green arrow coming thanks to Arsenal

  9. FOO FIGHTER
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Arsenal looking solid.

  10. Shark Team
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Do you think Haaland will be the most captained gw9 player?
    Or Salah will overtake him?

    1. The Knights Template
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Haaland every single week.

    2. DRIZ ✅
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Perma C Haal

    3. PartyTime
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Haaland’s ownership is higher

  11. The Knights Template

  12. Tsparkes10
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Was going to wc but now tempted to do Neto to Maddison which would give me…

    Ramsdale
    Cancelo James Trippier
    KDB Maddison Martinelli MGW
    Jesus Isak Haaland
    (Ward, Targett, Andreas, Neco)

    1. Gizzachance
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Looks fine

  13. The Philosopher
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Jesus - check

    Only downside is, I have White instead of Saliba

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Jesus - check, Saliba - check 😛

      1. The Philosopher
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Well done

  14. PartyTime
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Good gw for everyone it seems

    1. RICICLE
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Please explain….

      1. RICICLE
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Still not explained

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      4 years, 1 month ago

      This. Grey arrow at best. We (don't) move.

    3. DRIZ ✅
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Saliba Jesus owner here, great day.

      1. RICICLE
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Same

      2. Mozumbus
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yes, happy happy

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

      Average is about 50 points across nearly every rank tier ATM

      I'll wait until it's finished before I say yes to that 🙂

    6. One for All
      4 years, 1 month ago

      76 pts 122,110

      1. RICICLE
        4 years, 1 month ago

        122? 110?

        1. One for All
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Big rise from around 1.3 mil since i captained Son and -4 to bring in Cancelo.

  15. Gizzachance
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Arsenal have Tot , pool, Leeds , blank coming up

    1. dansmusen
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Tot and Leeds are good fixtures attacking wise. Pool is shite so could be good as well. Keeping Jesus for sure

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Might need 3 arsenal for that run except the blank

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

      They will likely score in every game in fairness

    4. Josh.E
      4 years, 1 month ago

      keep crying

      1. Gizzachance
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Crying at the points from them

    5. Santi sensei
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Def keeping Saliba and Jesus. Too much value in them imo

  16. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    4 years, 1 month ago

    What to do to stop losing rank?

    A) Kdb to Salah
    B) Diaz to Son
    C) Jesus to Kane
    D) Neco to Cancelo
    E) WC

    Sanchez (Ward)
    Saliba, Trippier, James (Neco, Patterson)
    Martinelli, KDB, Diaz, Rashford (Andreas)
    Jesus, Mitro, Haaland (C)

    3.7 in the bank

    1. The Knights Template
      4 years, 1 month ago

      D

    2. jonnybhoy
      4 years, 1 month ago

      D needs to happen asap hes a fixture proof player. I personally haven't got rid of salah yet as i feel brighton is going to be a big game for him

    3. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Cheers! See that D would give a benching headache.

      Maby Rashford to Sterling or Maddison?

  17. Sting
    4 years, 1 month ago

    We need around 6 striker slots!

    1. JBG
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I find a little weird how we can't decide if we want 4 fwds or 5 mids.

      1. C_G
        4 years, 1 month ago

        u can have 5 mids :/

        1. JBG
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I meant 4 fwds instead of 5 mids.
          As in 4 mids and 4 fwds.

  18. Mozumbus
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Keeping faith in Jesus paying off

  19. The Knights Template
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Tierney satellite

  20. Fish up a tree
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Wild-carders please continue to sell Arsenal assets!

    1. GoonerSteve
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I sold Jesus for Kane (c) this week, but I'm an Arsenal fan so hedging my bets. Come on Arsenal!

    2. Nomar
      4 years, 1 month ago

      GW9 WCers still have them. Won't come into effect till next GW.

  21. Eleven Hag
    4 years, 1 month ago

    K again

    Sell Jesus or Toney ? (For Mitro)

    1. Cojones of Destiny
      4 years, 1 month ago

      nah i’d play both

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Keep both?

  22. The Philosopher
    4 years, 1 month ago

    At the airport to pick the dad up, and the delays are a thing of beauty. Having to do with checking the livescores.

    1. The Knights Template
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Things are very expensive at the airport.

  23. C_G
    4 years, 1 month ago

    just checked livefpl, Saliba a huge differential this week! glad i played him.

    1. Fish up a tree
      4 years, 1 month ago

      He is gold dust squire

    2. TheBiffas
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I didn't have a choice 😆

    3. WVA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yep, unfortunately all my rivals have him and I don't!

  24. GOTHAM City F.C.
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Arteta is no Pep when the team wastes time in first half

    1. Deulofail
      4 years, 1 month ago

      More a case of Arsenal is no Man City

  25. FOO FIGHTER
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I may keep my double Arsenal defence of Saliba and Gabriel. Nice cheap combo.

    1. Deulofail
      4 years, 1 month ago

      That's 2 to bench in GW12 already. Who else you got?

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Haaland and Marti but want Zaha for GW10 so Marti could make way.

        1. Deulofail
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Sounds good, though I'd want to bench them in the next two GWs

          1. FOO FIGHTER
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Yes with Spurs and Pool next.

  26. TheBiffas
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Used my wildcard gw3 so I'm still on triple arsenal, got too many fires to put out to consider moving them any time soon but that may be a blessing in disguise

    1. The Knights Template
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Just call it ‘superior management technique’.

    2. Deulofail
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I have 3 Arse and a WC, and I'll get getting rid of at least one this week. Only 4FTs before BGW12 and I have double City too, so at least 2FTs need to go towards selling players from these teams

      1. Fish up a tree
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Same here but want them back in after 12!

        1. Deulofail
          4 years, 1 month ago

          That's what the WCs for 🙂

  27. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Martinelli trying to assist his big chance and Jesus scoring with only chance cuts my rank in a beautiful way.

  28. HollywoodXI
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I need a goal from big Toney second half.

  29. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Just need a Martinelli return for the perfect gameweek

  30. FPL Daniel
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Getting ready for Gordon brace ladies and gentleman ; )

    1. Stamford B

      & Graynaldo’s hat trick
