FPL Marc Broadcaster, writer and overthinker. Hoping that ‘differential potential’ will catch on.

  1. JELLYFISH

    Shaw to an Arsenal defender for a -4?

    1. artvandelay316
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      If you've got room for more Arsenal you'd be better getting a third attack.

      1. JELLYFISH
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Own Saka and Martinelli so reluctant to go 3 mids with Odegaard. Toney > Nketiah is tempting but Brentford dgw coming up

  2. Chalobah's Witness
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Cucu out for Gabriel for -4?

    1. MIGHTY JOE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Nah

  3. artvandelay316
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Play Botman with decent clean sheet chance or Shaw with higher ceiling and looking on good form?

    1. Keventry City
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Tough one. Toss a coin.

    2. M2.0
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Bot

    3. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Same dilemma. I benched Shaw (triple Newcastle defence!) because I don't think he is likely to keep a CS because of Casemiro and Gnoto/Bamford looked good last game. That said, Leeds got a lot of injuries in the last game and have some usually first team players in the physio room, so maybe it won't be as tough for United this time. Also, now Sancho has played 30, he may start and play 60 meaning Rashford will play up front and then the rest of the team will click too. Still can't overlook how bad Bournemouth look though

    4. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Botman

  4. Jones Kusi
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Best option?
    A. Martinelli > Odegaard
    B. Bruno > Mahrez
    C. Martinelli, Bruno > Saka, Mahrez (-4)

      A

  5. Ambu
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Shaw or Reece James for this week to start? Thanks

    1. Keventry City
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Tough one. I'd play James if you need to catch up in your leagues, he could either haul or get 1pt

    2. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Reece

  6. JollyGoodYellows

    What to do with my 1FT and 1.0itb with this bunch?

    DDG
    Trippier Shaw White
    KDB Rashford Martinelli Mahrez
    Haaland Kane Nketiah

    A) Martinelli > Odegaard
    B) DDG > Kepa
    C) White > Gabriel

    1. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A

  7. denial
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Need to bench one:

    A shaw
    B Estup
    C Gnonto

    1. De Gea is GOAT
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A for me

    2. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A or C

    3. JollyGoodYellows
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A

      1. denial
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Thanks

    4. Flowsick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      C

    5. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A

  8. M_Rega96
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Start Andreas or Gnonto?

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

      Andreas

    2. The Mighty Hippo
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Gnonto

    3. Flowsick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      If you're playing a MUN defender then Andreas, otherwise Gnonto

      1. M_Rega96
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Playing Shaw, so leaning towards Andreas

    4. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Gnonto

  9. PascalCygan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Struggling. Anyone else worried about Mahrez minutes after his substitution at Spurs?

    I keep going round in circles with Bruno to KDB or Almiron to Mahrez

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      My move would be Nruno to Mahrez but not sure if I’m doing it due to Mahrez minutes. I wouldn’t be too sure of KDB’s either.

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

        Thank you

    2. Keventry City
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I'm doing Bruno to KDB. There are doubts about everyone at city but at least KDB is rested and a good placeholder for Salah in GW25

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

        Thank you. Two big factors in my thinking

    3. Flowsick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Not worried, the whole team was shite and needed an injection of energy. He cant rotate them all, can he?

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

        Fair. Cheers

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

      I went Almiron -> Mahrez

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

        Thanks

  10. aapoman
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Martinelli, Bruno > Saka, Mahrez (-4)?

    1. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I just did the Bruno to Saka

    2. Flowsick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yes to both, will pay for itself in 3 GW.

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

      Yup

  11. FPL Brains
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Arsenal fans, there any chance White might be dropped / rotated out? Or isit pure speculation?

    1. Flowsick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      White is first choice, but may share 20-30 minutes at the end of matches depending on the match status.

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

      I'd say there's definitely a chance - but if we're looking at the macro picture he's started every game this season. & subbed before 60 only once.

    3. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Bib theory going around that Tomiyasu might start the Brentford game. Not sure how reliable that is though

    4. Keventry City
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      White getting subbed after 60 minutes sub could mean stealing a few clean sheets the others don't get

  12. UKG
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Shaw to Ake for free? Or roll FT and play Shaw.

    1. aapoman
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Would do for free

    2. Flowsick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yes for free

    3. Keventry City
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Roll. Shaw looks OK for this week and City defence hard to call. Shaw has better offensive threat too.

  13. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Hello. Starting XI / bench order correct?

    Kepa
    Trippier, Perisic, Gabriel
    Kdb, Saka, Mahrez, Rashford
    Haaland, Toney, Nkietah

    Ward, Andreas, Shaw, Bueno

    Thank you

    1. De Gea is GOAT

      Spot on!

    2. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights

    4. Paqueta Rice

      Thanks folks

  14. De Gea is GOAT
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Really stuck on these 2 options. Not sure which gets more points going forward?
    Would really appreciate some help.

    A) Bruno/Marti > Mahrez/Ode and keep Toney for nice home fixtures & DGW.

    B) Toney/Marti > Nketiah/Mahrez

    Thanks guys

    1. Flowsick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Bruno out, keep Toney for now.

      1. De Gea is GOAT
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks im leaning towards that too. Nketiah would be the perfect player to go up the ranks though due to low ownership.

    1. Bench one:
    A. SHAW

    1. Flowsick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      If you're playing an ARS defender go Shaw, otherwise Toney.

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

      Shaw

    3. M2.0
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Toney, don’t see a utd CS without Casemiro

  17. PepSala
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Start one

    A. Toney
    B. Shaw

    1. Flowsick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Almost bb worthy

    2. Flowsick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      G2G

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Probably GTG. Not great seeing Mitoma on the bench.

  21. PlayPercentage
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Surely Pep will want to get the KdB -> Haaland supply line back up and running this week?
    There is even a good case for KdB(C).

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      the guy score 2 goals in 23 games?

    2. M2.0
      • 5 Years

      lol

    3. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      That’s good justification for Haaland too. Hope the pair are back on song as Haaland has been missing assists from the rest of the team

  22. OPTA FPL
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Play
    A) Mitoma (Palace)
    or
    B) Fernandes (Leeds)?

    Cannt play both, thanks

    1. Tshelby
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A because of his form

  23. CoracAld2831

    Kepa
    Trippier-White-Walker
    Rashford-Almiron-Fernandes-Odegaard
    Kane-Nketiah(v)-Haaland(c)

    Ward-Andreas-Shaw-Patterson

    Optimal move for this team?

    A: Fernandes -> KDB
    B: Almiron -> Mahrez
    C: Almiron, White -> Saka, Akanji for a hit
    D: Other?

    1. Tshelby

  24. Tshelby

    G2g? Right bench order?

    Kepa
    Trippier, Schar, Gabriel
    Rash, Bruno, Mitoma, KdB, Odegard
    Eddie, Haaland (c)

    Ward, Mitro, Shaw, Bueno

    1. Flowsick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

  25. The Parrot
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    When it's framed like this does it sound better?

    Martinelli to Ode for free
    And
    Bruno to Mahrez for a hit

  26. Dannyb
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Either of these worth a hit?
    A Toney to Nketia
    B Martinelli to Odegaard

    1. The Wheeler Dealer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No

    2. The Parrot
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Was the move you already actioned worth a hit? If so then these could be considered for free...

    3. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Not B. A could work out well until a potential WC27

  27. The Wheeler Dealer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Start kilman or Shaw?

  28. Milk, 1 Šuker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Who's haul potential do you trust more over this GW? Kane or Nketiah?

    1. The Wheeler Dealer
