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

  1. FPLFrontline
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Anyone got the city or Newcastle line ups?

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Mahrez is benched. No other news.

      1. FPLFrontline
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Foden starts.

  2. Saka White Rice
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    People with the Raya Estupinan combo do you realise Estupinan wont play both games on 29 due to international break? Therefore better to do Sanchez Henry combo as its cheaper and will get more minutes

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      No

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

      I just prefer Pervis

    3. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Estu higher upside till that point.

    4. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Points > Minutes. Raya/Estupinan better for saves/bonus/xGI, I suppose? It's a valid shout though.

    5. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      no but I still did it

    6. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Or get Dunk

      1. Bishopool
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        *drunk

  3. Gunners in Haaland
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Start Maddison or Mitoma?

    1. MIGHTY JOE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Madd

  4. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Start
    A) March
    B) Mitoma

    1) Kepa
    2) Raya

    1. Gunners in Haaland
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      B1 for me

    2. Mighty Wings
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      B1

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

      Thanks both. I was on that too. March a 50/50 I guess.

  5. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Who to get in for Mahrez? Got 7.9m for the replacement

    1. ball c
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Barnes
      Any of the Brighton mids

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Depends on chip strategy, I'm on Maddison, but Mitoma/March also strong options. Martinelli if you don't have him.

  6. Kodap
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Anyone know if Akanji is starting?

  7. MIGHTY JOE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Start Raya or Martinez? Got Mee also.

    1. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I went Raya, Mee 1st on bench

      1. MIGHTY JOE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Would have to start Tripps or Burn if benching Mee

        1. Die Hard
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Don’t bench Tripps

  8. GCM0803
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Play 3:

    A) castagne
    B) tark
    C) saliba
    D) trippier
    E) shaw

    1. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Gosh, not a great choice. Saliba +2 others.
      Not Trippier.
      Probably Castagne and Shaw then.

    2. GK
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      ACE

    3. Die Hard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Don’t bench Tripps

  9. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Who to bench? (currently on Mahrez).

    A. Mahrez (NEW)
    B. Mitoma (WHU)
    C. Rashford (liv)

    1. FPLFrontline
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Manrez. He’s benched

      1. Paul Psychic Octopus
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Am surprised at Pep over that, but I already had Mahrez benched, that news just confirms it.

        Still put him first sub though, ahead of 2x NEW defenders

    2. The White Pele
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      A

  10. The White Pele
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    will Leeds score today?

    1. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      In their goal maybe

  11. FDMS All Starz
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    From now till GW29, which combo?

    A) Maddison & Dunk
    Or
    B) March & Botman

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Maddison and Estupinan (same price, much higher attacking threat)

    2. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      A

  12. ball c
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Start:
    A) Nunez
    B) Mahrez

    1. bialk
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      A

    2. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Sell both

    3. The Reptile
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Mahrez benched

  13. FantasyTony
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Any word on Ake?

    1. boombaba
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      He’s a polite chap

    2. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 4 Years

    Kepa
    Trent Tark Estupinan
    Salah Saka Odegaard Rashford Mitoma

  17. Free Hat
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    So Foden is the new shiny toy again and Mahrez the one to fall out.

    1. Supersonic_
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Yep, after he rots in my team, I transfer him out then he starts every game. Typical FPL. Probably just gonna keep Haaland and avoid the others, get the call wrong every time

  18. CheesyZoot
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Surely haaland starts against top 5 opposition….

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Mahrez isn't so highly owned, so there isn't much of a rush

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        More just the volume of WCs in play
        I think they have upgraded the servers though vs. earlier in the season

        1. Ze_Austin
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          I hope so
