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

  1. Big W
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Mahrez > Brighton mid for -4?

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

      I wouldn’t for a minus

    2. FPL Emu
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I did it, but only to free up funds for Gnonto - Toney

  2. FantasyClub
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Bench Mitoma or Rashford guys?

    1. AD105
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      M

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

        Thanks for your reply mate

    2. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Rashford but you gotta read my name.

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

        Hahah is that false hope!?

    3. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Mitoma - Rashford is on fire

  3. Hairy Potter
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Surprised more people on WC aren't considering BB in GW27 than GW29.

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

      That’s ridiculous unless you load up on BRE & BRI. The other games like City vs New, Utd vs Liv aren’t exactly a given

      1. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I disagree.

        A lot of people will have benching headaches next week.

        And BBing the week after WC means less chance of injuries, form changes, etc.

      2. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        And those games are this week, so not sure the relevance.

  4. AD105
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Would you play Tripps or Dawson this week? Other one will be benched

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Trippier for me.

  5. AzzaroMax99
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Play March or Bruno?

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      This Month.

      1. AzzaroMax99
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Lolz

  6. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Another RP

    Which seems better?

    A: Mahrez -> Maddison FT
    B: TAA + Andreas -> Mings + Maddison (-4)

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A.

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Show your whole team

  7. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Am I good to go? Not sure on GK and Tark or Tripps

    Ederson
    Zinchenko Mee Tarkowski
    Salah Saka(C) Odegaard Rashford(VC) Mitoma
    Haaland Toney

    (Meslier Darwin Trippier Schär)
    0.2 (-4)

  8. Haa-lala-land
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Transfer out James to :
    A) Chilwell
    B) Royal (without cheese)

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B. Or another option.

    2. boombaba
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Royal (with cheese)

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Best movie scene evah

    1. boombaba
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Made of glass him

    2. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      How much of an issue to Chelsea's defence is it now James and Silva are out?

      Enough to reassess Kepa starting?

      1. boombaba
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Nope they have hardly made a difference have they

      2. FantasyClub
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I got rid of Kepa as I can’t see a clean sheet without Silva. They look bad enough as it was…

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

        Kepa will still make saves. Fulham are quote bad for xG lately. Worth considering I guess - but Leeds are poor too.

        1. FPL Brains
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Ta - you're a good source of my Chelsea insight. Appreciated.

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

            You're welcome. I'm just making educated guesses though!

    3. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Feel sorry for the guy. Risks ever reaching his full potential unless he can have an injury free season soon.

  9. space mercenary
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Wildcarders...
    Did you pair Martinelli or Odegaard with Saka until 29?
    Still torn between these two.
    Martinelli must be good for a couple of weeks but need some minutes nailedness on the 26 WC.

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

      I’ve gone Odegard l, as he’s more nailed for gameweek 28 when I’m already short on numbers. I’m not sure whether nketiah and Jesus might be back by GW28 which will result in trossard eating into his minutes.

      1. space mercenary
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks, was leaning to Ode myself. Just a bit of FOMO setting in.

      2. DARE TO BISCAN
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        This is my thinking also

    2. FantasyClub
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I stuck with Odegaard as his stats/record vs promoted clubs is really good

  10. sergioaguero67
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Mitoma or Mac Allister?
    Choose one
    I already have March and Estupinan
    Please help

    1. boombaba
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Mitty

    2. Moneymar
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Mitoma

    3. space mercenary
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Mitoma here

    4. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Mitoma but if Mac gets that 10 role could swap st some point

  11. boombaba
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Play trips or Tark

    1. Bobbyg1
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Im playing Tarks

  12. Gunners in Haaland
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    No Reece James today

  13. Big W
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Play Shaw or Trips?

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

    Maddison owners - what is your midfield?

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

      rash madds saka odegaard march

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

        Cheers - so Brighton mid the fall-guy.

    2. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      He is starting, don't be that guy before deadline

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

        I was asking because I wanted to see who others are leaving out - not because I don't think he starts...

        1. Hy liverpool
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          My bad..

    3. Gunners in Haaland
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Saka Mitoma Martinelli Rashford

    4. FantasyClub
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Saka/Ode/Rashford/Maddison/Mitoma

    5. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Struggling to find a way to put him in. It'll be between him and Mitoma.

    6. DavvaMC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      If i bring Maddison in, it would mean benching Mitoma or Rashford, can't decide if I should bring him in.

  15. GC123
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Chelsea fans around? Who starts CB today from Koulibaly, Fofana and Badiashile?

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

      Respectfully - no clue. I would hazard a guess the Badiashile starts to keep at least one of KK/Fofana free/fit for UCL (as Badiashile not in UCL squad)

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

        Good shout that. Forgot Badiashile isn’t registered for the CL. Surely Potter does the sensible thing and starts him today unless he wants continuity

    2. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Why did Potter rotate Badiashile in one of the recent GWs? Thought he'd be nailed as he's not in the CL squad

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

        Exactly. Made no sense whatsoever

      2. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Because Potter is an idiot

  16. Ohh1454
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Gtg ?
    Kepa
    Gabriel Cash Estu
    March Saka Rashford Odegaard
    Toney Haaland Kane
    Bench - Raya Mitoma Mee Trippier

  17. Moneymar
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Captain Haaland, Kane or Martinelli? Don’t have Saka

    1. boombaba
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Haa

    2. FantasyClub
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Kane or Martinelli. I never have luck choosing a player from first game of the week.

  18. dshv
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    How we go to refactor the template for gw29 ???

  19. JoeSoap
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Maddy or second Brighton attacker on WC

    1. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Maddy may need bit of game time been out for a while, looking at bringing him after seeing how he gets on

      1. JoeSoap
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        True, fitness could be a factor but a nice fixture

    2. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I went double Brighton. Cheaper, less injury prone, better team, DGW27. Maddison is good (when fit) and plays GW28. Both good options.

      1. JoeSoap
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks. Might just leave until GW28 and hope he doesn't score too well before then

  20. Corgz Dark side of the Loon

    Guys, Who to play.

  21. Junks
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Dalot is ahead of WanB right? Now he's fit should be a starter?

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

      Pretty even now. AWB did a great job stepping in, impressed manager. They're both in the frame, I think.

  22. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Got 2 FT and no idea what to do

  23. Moneymar
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Is -4 worth it to get Saka in?

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      It depende who you are getting rid of but generally yeah great option and consistent.

  24. nozza
    • 14 Years

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

      If it didn't mean benching Martinelli in GW27 and an extra transfer to get Maddison in for GW29, I'd be on B

  26. sergioaguero67
