    2. OptimusBlack
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Would u do it ?
      KDB > Salah
      For -4 ???

      1. GC123
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        No and I hope you didn’t either! KDB haul incoming

        1. OptimusBlack
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          I didn't

          1. GC123
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            The right call I think, for free I could understand but I didn’t see the upside for a hit

            1. RICICLE
              • 3 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              Two goals for Salah and it’s a huge win

        2. RICICLE
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          We thought that against Leeds, he does not look sharp

      2. Inferno
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Contemplated it but Eve and a dgw20 swayed me against.

        1. RICICLE
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Can always bring KDB back in for the DGW

    3. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years

      G2G

      Trossard

  6. Arteta

      OK

  8. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Pants down, homies. Though I assume they were down already on this beautiful Friday evening.

    1. Mirror Man
        3 years, 3 months ago

        I like to wear jorts on Fridays.

      • THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Good luck to you
        luck to you

        ooooo.

    2. Urban Cowboy.
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I much prefer a Friday deadline.

      1. The Philosopher
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Better a deadline on the buzz than one on the hangover, innit

        1. Gudjohnsen
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          This

    3. Bikerz
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Plz is there actually a ranking for the "2nd chance league"?? I can't seem to find it anywhere on the fpl app

      1. Bluetiger1
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Why

      2. MightyGar
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Go to 'Leagues and Cups', scroll down to 'General Leagues', and it is there

    4. Make FPL Casual Again
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Sounds like last minute move to bench cancelo for perisic based on rumours will really work out well.....

    5. tbos83
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I also manage my wife's team and chose Zaha over Andreas. Suspect I may be in trouble over that one..

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

      Actual ranking for the "2nd chance league"??? I can't seem to find it anywhere on the fpl app

      1. Mirror Man
          3 years, 3 months ago

          It's a secret until the season is over. They want to keep more managers engaged.

        • Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          You're dead last, sorry. Didn't want you to find out this way.

          1. Bikerz
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            90 GW 17 points say I'm not...

            1. Charlie Price
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              Go to the Leagues/Cups Tab and look for Second Chance.

      2. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Well, i did KDB > Salah for a hit, I will either be joyful or crying later lol!

        Bringing KDB back in for DGW depending if he looks sharper.

        1. OPTA FPL
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          what a weird move

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

          They usually score hauls on opposite weeks so congratulations on your 2 or 3 points.

        3. Bluetiger1
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          why take a hit - who else did you move in especially with GW19 Double strange to do one now?
          James if you had him could have been left on the bench as price not moved

        4. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          It will probably snap crackle or pop.

        5. Yozzer
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Strange move as you may want KDB back for the double . Anyway it's done now. No point dwelling

        6. jacob1989
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          I did the same. Kdb assisting the assister too much. May regret. Lets see

      3. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        • 8 Years

        Need some forgotten deadline posts please.

        1. Bobby Digital
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          I was about to transfer in the top scorer for this GW, but I missed the deadline...

          1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            Excellent! 🙂

        2. TheBiffas

      4. Make FPL Casual Again
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Somehow still have Nunez and no Salah...

        So, looking forward to a creative Salah setting up a nice hatrick by assisting the assists for Nunez, after he's missed 3 big chances ofc, then barges into Salah, preventing a high xg chance causing a minor knock and keeping him out for a game

        1. RICICLE
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          We just know it’s gonna happen haha!

          1. Make FPL Casual Again
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            That's the weird thing, it *could* easily happen..

            Then again, Nunuz could just be crap again...

        Where’s this Cancelo rumour from?

        1. Mirror Man
            3 years, 3 months ago

            Don't you start

            1. Well you know, Triffic
              • 15 Years

              Is he Cancelo?

          • OptimusBlack

            From u

        2. Ibralicious
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          First deadline miss of the season! Might not have been such a bad week to do so - is this team good enough or was there an obvious transfer here?

          Ward
          Cancelo - Trippier - Shaw
          KDB - Rashford - Martinelli - Almirón
          Haaland (C) - Kane - Darwin

          (Iversen) (Andreas - Bueno - B. Williams)

          Cheers!

          1. Ibralicious
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            Worth noting I had nothing in the bank to replace Ward. Gonna have to accept his 1 pointer VS Pool

            1. zdrojo187
              • 11 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              3 pointer(6 saves)

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            I did miss it too... But hopefully doesn't change anything. C Haaland, VC ???

            1. Ibralicious
              • 11 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              I believe Kane unfortunately

              1. Baps Hunter
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 8 Years
                3 years, 3 months ago

                Ouch... That may hurt... My dog got sick and I had my broken knee checked. So been busy and stressed all day. But everything looks better now at least. And this fpl season isn't mine anyway.

                1. Ibralicious
                  • 11 Years
                  3 years, 3 months ago

                  Oh no! Both bigger priorities than FPL so hope everything is sorted now

            2. Baps Hunter
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              And I may have selected my bus team, but that's probably Almiron from first on bench to R James. So worth nothing.

              1. Ibralicious
                • 11 Years
                3 years, 3 months ago

                Almirón was a better pick than James anyway so that worked out 😀

            Come on now, you 'forgot' it because it was already perfect 😉

            1. Ibralicious
              • 11 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              Ah so generous of you to complement a team with Ward starting 😀 but I can rest easy now

            Thanks for the info however next time can you please word your message as to not make me think these players were out of the squad completely? I've just bet against Vardy and Tielemans scoring and risked quite a bit of money. If I'd have known they were only on the bench, not missing completely then I wouldn't have made those bets, thanks.

              I first read this as tête, as in head, after Hazz's comment.
              And thought that's a bit risqué.

          T. Frank rolling the 3-5-2 against a non-top-6 side. This is new, right?

            No he's done it before, Palace, etc. 3-5-2 for top sides and teams that counter/are full of ball carriers generally.

            Mirror Man your answer mate, absolute tripe on here, and for some reason I get insulted for nothing, yet he applauded for spouting insults, he’s so sad

          Leicester team looks dreadful, although the pace of Barnes, Daka and Castagne could do some damage

          Cancelo Cucu Shaw Trippier Botman

          KDB Mart Saka Rash Andreas

          Haaland Mitro Martial

            At a first glace I would bench Martinelli, Botman and potentially Cancelo. But see how this GWs games go.

                Yeah, but it's just a first though. As you say, very tricky decision.

          2. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            Any 3 of KDB, Martinelli, Saka, Botman, Trippier or Cancelo based on how you imagine their games going. Mitro also if he is booked and has only a single.
