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

  1. willieprunier

    Ode or Martinelli on wc?

    1. marcos11
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Ode more nailed

    2. Oasthouse FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Ode, but it’s a coin toss

    3. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Mart is back. Mebe.

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

      Martinelli for me
      Easier sell to Bruno if he starts losing minutes later

    5. EDUARDO DA SILVA
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Ode if you’re casual.

    6. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      risk looms over martinelli when jesus is back?

      1. La Roja
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Not with this form, Trossard would make way for Jesus at this rate

  2. Bubbles1985
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Who scores more this week...
    Nketiah and Mahrez
    Watkins and Mitoma (-4)
    Ings and Mahrez

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      The one with the hit

  3. Oasthouse FC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Burn or Botman? Don’t have funds for schar

    1. willieprunier
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Targett almost fit.. may rival Burn for minutes..

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Botty. Targett hovering again.

    3. Il Capitano
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      bot

      1. Oasthouse FC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks all, I wasn’t aware of the targett risk - cheers!

  4. gellinmagellan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Kepa (Ward)
    White Shaw Trippier (Tarkowski Bueno)
    Salah Rashford Saka Ode Mitoma
    Darwin Kane (Mitrovic)

    1 FT 0.2 ITB. Should I WC this team? Or -4 somewhere would be enough?

    1. Heiro
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      No, but I'd play Tark over trip.
      Darwin to Toney though

  5. Heiro
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Kane captain is very tempting.

    Did I read someone saying he was sick? He's cost me -4

  6. John Colby (C)
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Is Evan Ferguson ahead of Welbeck and Undav for Brighton’s striker role?

    1. ClassiX
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      For now, but rotation likely imminent (although the manager has played 2 upfront previously, too)

      1. John Colby (C)
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers Classix - he’s a great bench boost prospect imho for gw29

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Seems to be though Welbz could get some starts too before he breaks again.

      1. John Colby (C)
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers - Welbeck underwhelms me every time I watch him.

  7. Johan Queef
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Pick 2 out of 3 (already have Saka and March)

    A) Macallister
    B) Martinelli
    C) Maddison

    Thanks!

    1. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      b c

    2. Cojones of Destiny
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      bc

  8. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Some quick A/Bs to confirm my thinking:

    1: Start A Kepa or B Raya
    2: Own A Emerson Royal or B Chilwell
    3: Start A Maddison or B March
    4: Captain A Saka or B Haaland

    Thanks!

    1. The Parrot
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I've went 1B with news of Silva and James being out

      2A for same reasons as above

      3A for now

      4B higher ceiling

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks!

  9. YoungPretender
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    A) Martinelli
    B) Odegaard

    1) Kane & March (already own Mitoma)
    2) Watkins & Maddison

  10. XABI 15
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Dunk or Estupinan? slightly concerned about potential travel for estupinan during international break

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      It's the nailedness vs. explosiveness
      Estu looks attacking so I've gone for him but know I might only get a SGW

  11. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Everyone wildcarding when I'm rolling a transfer and got a benching dilemma this week 😎

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

      Ditto

    2. Stimps
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Same

  12. willieprunier
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Which 2 to bench from Trippier, Botman, Mee and Estup??

    1. The Parrot
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Defo bench Botman

      Toss up between Mee and Tripp. I'd probably start Mee

  13. Chrisaa87
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Captain:
    1 salah
    2 haaland

  14. Sid1891
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Stuck with Salah and Mahrez and no free transfer
    Roll or take hit

    Mid is

    Saka Ode Mahrez Salah Rashford

    Thanks for suggestions

    1. Chrisaa87
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Roll

  15. AC Yew
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Salah to Saka?
    Yes or no (own Marti)

  16. Gandalf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    A. March
    B. MacAllister

    1. Art Vandelay
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I'm going with both. No mitoma

  17. Steager
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    A) Keep Gakpo,
    Or Transfer to

    B) Mitoma
    C)March

    D) Keep Ake

    Or Transfer to

    E) Pinnock
    D) Estupinan
    F) Henry

  18. bring_on _the_fantasy
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I don't understand why people are WC this week when there could be injuries ahead of the double?

    Surly next week is way more sensible?

    1. Smokey_Lowkey
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Exactly my thoughts, most people have perfectly fine teams for this week. Further data is invaluable in my eyes.

    2. Cojones of Destiny
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      this

    3. tim
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Dont understand it either

    4. CheesyZoot
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      People will have 2 free transfers

      1. bring_on _the_fantasy
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        No they won't, you don't get an extra transfer if you WC

    5. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I think it's the Liverpool players that swings it for a lot - having 3x is not ideal etc.

    6. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      It's the Liverpool part. May backfire though

    7. willieprunier
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      WC this wk gives more opportunity to roll ur FT next wk and prep for blanks/doubles

      1. bring_on _the_fantasy
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        your free transfer doesn't roll over if you WC?

  19. AD2110
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Burn or Botman?

    Both nailed - not sure why everyone going Botman?

  20. Hits Central
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Salah and Darwin - Kane and Madders for a -4 ?
