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

  1. Puncheon Guly
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Is Nketiah to Martinelli (-4) crazy points chasing or sensible given respective lack of starts / form?

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

      I'm captaining Martinelli because I think he'll be the highest scoring player this week. Also let's you sort out that striker spot for the future.

  2. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Play WARD vs SOU or EDERSON vs NEW?

    First to 3 wins

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Wins what?

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

      Play Ederson

    3. Zladan
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      You pick Ederson. Newcastle don’t know how to score a goal.

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

      Southampton V Leicester looks like a 3-3

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

      Ed wins

  3. tryf88
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Start Raya over Kepa?
    And Mads over March?

    1. yousunkmybattleship
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Surely you’re not considering benching Maddison

    2. alsybach
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes and yes

      1. tryf88
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        This is my current setup but love the confirmation!

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

    KdB expected to start?

    1. yousunkmybattleship
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Only Pep knows

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

      Nobody expects the Pep rotation

  5. Jack Burton
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Hi everyone just a quickie Salah to Maddison for free, thanks in advance and Good Luck

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

      I made that move. Although it’s very possible for Salah to return, Casemiro & Fred in the mid can do a job

      1. Jack Burton
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks mate GL

    2. Peter O'Hanraha-hanrah…
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Toying with the same idea, think I'm sticking with this week and probs do it next week

  6. Lazerball
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Who scores more in the next 5 GWs?
    A. Watkins with 5 fixtures or
    B. Haaland with 3

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

      *4 GWs

      1. Eisjh
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        i'd be more inclined with Watkins tbh

  7. Hart-ake
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    sounds crazy but bench Kane over Barnes?

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A sold Kane will serve you better than a benched Kane

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

      Crazy

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

      I think you've answered your own question

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

      Still No.

    5. yousunkmybattleship
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Crazy is correct

  8. Tshelby
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    No one considering rashford as captain? Form of his life and against a leaky Liverpool

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

      yea im chasing as well and hesitating between rash saka or maddison as C

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

      That leaky liverpool with 4 cs in a row?

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

        Yup that one that have conceded 5 against Madrid at home

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

      On my bench do no.

    4. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Still in the balance but a good case - undecided

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

      3 years, 1 month ago

  11. Tripleh123

    3 years, 1 month ago

    Who would you bench?
    a) Odegaard
    b) Rashford
    c) Mitoma
    d) Mahrez

    Honestly all good options. Currently deciding between Mahrez or Rashford

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON

      A

    2. Orion

    3. The Point About It Is

      A

  19. RogueBlood
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Current WC team, would you make any changes here got 4.4ITB and who would you bench this week.

    Kepa
    Mee, Mings, White
    Martinelli, Saka, Mitoma, Rashford
    Kane, Haaland, Toney

    Raya, March, Estu, Trippier

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

      Upgrade White to Gabriel or Zin

    2. OLEgend
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I would pick Mccalister,a haul is coming

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

    How do I get SAKA in?

    Ramsdale
    Aké / White / Tarkowski / Shaw
    Salah / Martinelli / Mahrez / Rashford
    Haaland / Kane

    Ward / Trippier / Andreas / Greenwood

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

      Hard

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

        That's what she said

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

      for mahrez or salah

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

      Id probably swap for Mahrez but that’s because I think Salah might be good for a goal or two

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

      You have 3 Arsenal!

      Do you have 2FTs?

      If not, hold

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

    Which seems better?

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

  22. Nazz
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    G2G or wc?

    Kepa
    Lewis, Trippier, White
    Mitoma, Rashford, Ode, Saka
    Kane, Watkins, Haarland

    Ward, Salah, Tark, Bruno

    1ft 0.9 ITB.... I have all my chips left thanks

    1. The Point About It Is
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      keep

  23. Kodap
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Any other Haaland cappers with me?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Loads I imagine.

    2. Orion
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      0/

    3. MADCHESTER UTD
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I’m currently on Odegaard (not got saka Martinelli) but I’m wavering to change to haaland. I know Newcastle have great defence but didn’t City score 3 past them last time? Or was it 1-0 Rodri?

  24. Eisjh
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Got 2 FT's this week, any advice available for my squad?

    Ramsdale
    Trippier - Schar - Mee
    Rashford - Odegaard - Martinelli - Mahrez
    Toney - Kane - Haaland

    N. Williams - Diallo - Dalot - Ward

  25. Tripleh123
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Final decision to make, who to captain?

    a) Saka
    b) Kane
    c) Haaland

    Currently on Kane (c) & Saka (vc). Have been alternating between Kane & Saka for the past week.

  26. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Best captain out of Saka and Haaland?

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

      Saha

    2. The Point About It Is
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Haaland is safe pick, Saka if you are looking to catch up

    3. Sun God Nika
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Flip of a coin

  27. The Point About It Is
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Sanchez and Henry over Raya and Etupinan gives me an extra player for BGW 28. why is this not more popular?

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

      Because raya and estupinan are much better fpl players may be.

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

    Play two:
    A) Henry
    B) Estupinan
    C) Emerson Royal

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

  29. Gazzpfc
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Kepa
    Zinchenko Mee Estupanan
    Maddison Martinelli Saka Rashford
    Haaland Kane Toney

    Ward Mitoma James Trippier

  30. tibollom
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    who to captain if chasing guys?

    a. rash
    b. saka
    c. maddison
