  1. Letsgo!
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Did gerrard mention anything on bailey whether he will start?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      He is the fastest player on FIFA 23 so he’ll always have chance to start because of his pace

      One for the bench surely

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Your fpl bench I meant

  2. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Akanji is the new Dias

    All aboard

    1. The Senate
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      he does look like quite a player. Just not a better FPL option than Cancelo IMO

  3. FPL Mentor
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Start one.

    A. Emerson (WHU)
    B. Perisic
    C. Neco

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Perisic

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Emerson and leave the auto sub to bring Perisic

    3. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      B obviously

  4. The Senate
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Best mid up to 9.1? Already have madders and zaha

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      In GW1 we could've named about 6. Right now, I don't see any. I genuinely would go Harvey Barnes.

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Martinelli, Diaz, Bowen, Barnes in that order

  5. Boss Hogg
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    So, I’m punting on Tsimakas on a wildcard. Don’t need that slot until gw12 so he’ll probably only play for me today before being shipped in a few weeks.
    Got to take a chance sometimes.

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Tempted to get him on my WC too.

      1. Boss Hogg
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        If I get Coufal or a Wolves defender or Fofana, they will all sit on the bench until gw12 anyway.
        So I’m punting and waiting to see who the best replacement is in a few weeks.

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I had him till yesterday but decided against . Too shorterm punt

    3. The Senate
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      If it was Bournemouth or Forest they were playing I'd be tempted. Not sure about BHA though

  6. Strchld
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    On WC not sure which one to pick, Salah or KdB? Salah would save me FT GW12 but KdB against Sou would be great next week.

    Anyone else have same problem on WC?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah I had it. It was so difficult to decide so I went for the cheaper Son

      1. Strchld
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I'm also tempted to do KdB > Son GW11 when Spurs play Everton. Could be great captain option when City have Liverpool.

    2. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Same question below. Really not sure. Have a feeling kdb does better next 2 but its close.

  7. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    KDB or Salah on wc?

    A KDB (move to son/Salah for gw12)
    B Salah

    Pope Iverson
    Cancelo James Trippier Saliba Guehl
    KDB/Mo Maddison Zaha Martinelli Andreas
    Haaland Mitrovic Toney

    1. AC Yew
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      A though Son looks like hes hitting form and a good option too

    2. Rinseboy
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      B and then move to Son for Eve ar home

    3. Mozumbus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Salah

    4. Rinseboy
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      KDB to Salah worth a -4 in you opinion?

      1. _Ninja_
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Don't think it's worth the hit as city have Southampton next gw. Pool have Arsenal.

  8. AC Yew
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Any ideas what to do here. 1 FT, 1.5 ITB.
    Who would you lose first Gundo or Diaz? and for whom. WC in next few weeks

    Sanchez
    Trippier Dias Saliba TAA
    Diaz Martinelli Gundo
    Jesus Haaland Kane

    Ward Gordon Andreas Neco

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I really think you should WC this week.

      Sanchez Dias Saliba Diaz Gundo Jesus Gordon is enough to WC.

      1. AC Yew
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        With just over an hour to go for deadline I dont think thats an option for me. Can wait a week or so. Any ideas for this week?

    2. Kingy109
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      If not wilcarding I'd get of the roulette via Gundo to Maddison

      1. AC Yew
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks i was thinking of this move. Gives me time to assess Liverpool before hitting WC

    3. Kingy109
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Maybe then lose Saliba GW10, Dias GW11 Jesus GW12 bench Marti and Haaland. Or keep one of Saliba or Jesus and play Neco.
      I'd try to get James in when you can.
      WC in GW13 to bring back City and Arsenal.

  9. cylus11 ( Manager) - Russia…
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Any news about Rashford starting vs City.

    Pls update. Thanks

    1. Chrissy Waddle - 2025/26
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Issue is just match fitness - may not get 90 mins

      1. The Senate
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        This, will definitely be in the squad

  10. Chrissy Waddle - 2025/26
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Hey guys, on a WC...

    A. KDB, Mount
    B. Son, Foden

  11. swampster
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Does TAA ourscore Toney or Mitrovic for next 6?

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Maybe Toney but would need some hauls and or Liverpool to start clean sheets to beat Mitrovic imo

    2. Junks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I only have Diaz from pool and I'm very interested to see how they perform today.... If they look back to their best then TAA and Salah are back in on my WC

    3. Mozumbus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      No
      Barring injuries

  12. melvinmbabazi
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Thoughts on what to do this week? 1FT 0.0 ITB Roll?

    Pope
    Cancelo Trippier Perisic
    KDB Rashford Martinellli Bailey
    Haaland Kane Mitrovic

    Iverson Dalot Andreas Neco

    Thanks

  13. Junks
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    *Repost anyone??
    GTG? Bench okay? Anything worth changing for a hit?

    Ward
    Cancelo James Trippier Perisic
    Martinelli Diaz Maddison
    Jesus Haaland(c) Kane(vc)

    Sanches / Bailey / Andreas / Neco

  14. Thomas Magnum
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Havertz too risky on WC? Need a forward up to 7.7 that isn't Mitrovic or Toney

    1. Diesel@007
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Watkins

    2. JBG
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Havertz? Really? Anyone else imo, even Solanke.

      1. Thomas Magnum
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        New manager, should have confidence after the IB and predicted to start up top. Just a late thought

    3. Cojones of Destiny
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      i’d punt on Havertz new manager

    4. Mozumbus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Sounds crazy
      You have Toney and Mitrovic both already?

      1. Thomas Magnum
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Have Mitro and Toney yes but not keen on Toney

    5. Kingy109
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Bamford
      Wilson
      Maupay
      Watkins

  15. Rash
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Any Mad(dison) cappers out here?

    1. Junks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Tempted..... very very tempted!!!

    2. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

    3. Chrissy Waddle - 2025/26
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yup, I'm going with it. Man U will be tougher for Haaland than many think. Great time for diff.

    4. Kane and Ablett
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yep not a controversial choice to those that have seen all four teams involved in the choice - still we’re brave to do it, but then it’s only a game so let’s have some fun

  16. Big W
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Play 1
    A) Coufal
    B) Zaha (Have James
    C) Andreas (Have Trips & Pope)

    1. Rash
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Zaha

    2. They are eating the dogs
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      A

    3. Mozumbus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      B

  17. MGD
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Best Wolves def?

    1. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Jonny

  18. Dion D's Solo Shower
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Start Johnny or Mitro?

    Have both Pope & Trippier as Well

    1. Scrumper
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Mitro hands down

  19. FDMS All Starz
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    What would you do here? 1FT & 1.0itb

    Ederson
    Cucu Trent Cancelo
    Saka Bowen Martinelli Andreas
    Haaland Kane Jesus

    Ward Neco Botman Dasilva

    1. Diesel@007
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Cucu to James

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

      Roll

    3. Kingy109
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Saka to Maddison You have 6 players blanking GW12 and unless playing a WC need to start moving them out. James is better but Cucu won't be out long and will be a key Potter player

  20. Scrumper
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Bench A) Peresic or B) Trippier?

    1. Cojones of Destiny
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      A

  21. Maeki2
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    worth -4 to get James and play instead of Gross and Andreas in the next 4 gws before wc?

  22. Kane and Ablett
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Maddison (c) Haaland (v) locked in and it gives me all weekend to look forward to the goal rush in the East Midlands

    Ward-Iversen
    Chillwell-James-Cancelo-Trippier-Neco

    Toney-Mitrovic.Haaland

    1. Mozumbus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Can't be better
      No Spurs is the only major concern

      1. They are eating the dogs
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I was trying to fit Kane or Son in, but I cannot decide between them.

  24. BS03
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    hi all who to put on 1st bench:

    A) andreas
    B) perisic

    2. Cojones of Destiny

    4. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      A

    5. They are eating the dogs
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      A

  26. Cojones of Destiny
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    play;
    a. Neco vs Lei
    b. Saliba vs Tot

  27. Strchld
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    On WC, would you pick TAA or Cancelo if can get only one?

    1. Mozumbus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      TAA

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Cancelo

    3. Calculated Risks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Cancelo

    4. Junks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Cancelo

    5. They are eating the dogs
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Cancelo

    6. Kingy109
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I have gone TAA and try to get Cancelo from GW13 because:
      1) plays GW12
      2) data indicates a much greater attacking threat especially assists
      3) Cancelo is great for clean sheets as he likely picks up bonus points too. However in the next 4 games I'm not sure he gets more than 1 vs Southampton (Utd and Liverpool score plus blank)
      Truth is either might haul and hurt none owner's but it's hard to get both without sacrifice elsewhere

  28. Eleven Hag
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Start

    Saliba/Trippier?

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Trippier

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

      T

  29. Hansel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone on a cheaky Madders Captaincy?

    1. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yes

  30. Calculated Risks
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Wildcard boils down to
    a) Rashford, Saliba, Pope +1.5mill (have Trippier)

    Or

    B) Sterling, Jansson, 4.5gk
