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

    looks like most people are wildcarding this week?

    1. camarozz
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      I did yeah ystrdy morning. Good time for it .

    2. The Point About It Is
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Although i like going against the crowd, it just makes so much sense if you are template currently

    3. Maddamotha
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Hell nahhh i aint loadin on brentz and brightz boi

    4. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      LV and TOT swing of fixture BGW28 has impacted many teams (one of the factors obviously)

    5. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Yes, it’s a shame as team wasn’t bad but need Brentford and Brighton plus offload a couple of Liverpool ahead of the blank and tough fixtures

    6. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Didn't see the point of taking hits to target some prime doubles/navigate a blank. Leaves me exposed to hits later in season but feel like I'm trading assured hits for possible ones

    7. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      don't forget IB coming between now & GW29 is it worth holding - my original concerns with GW28 BGW but after mid-week results / defeats & more to choose from might hold for at least another GW as thinking longer term to GW31/GW32/GW34

    8. Futureform
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Is not wildcarding next week pretty much as good or better (it's ahead of the blank, its ahead of the double)?

      Plus we'll have more info on injuries etc by then.

    9. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Pinnock

    2. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      A

  6. toxik
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Who to bench? Saka, Martinelli, Rashford, Mitoma, Macallister, Toney, Haaland, Kane. Currently on Mac.

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Rash or mitoma

      1. toxik
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 26 days ago

        Rash great record v Pool

        1. La Roja
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 26 days ago

          Why is he in the list then?

        2. Hy liverpool
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 26 days ago

          0 goals at Anfield.

    2. FCSB
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      You could probably slim the list of options down… it’s between MacAllister and Haaland

      1. toxik
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 26 days ago

        Funny enough I was thinking similar but haven't got gonads to drop Haaland!

    3. alsybach
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Are you really gonna bench Saka!?

      1. toxik
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 26 days ago

        due a rest? easy fixture may only play 58 mins?

    4. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Mac probably. Mitoma second

    5. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Macallister

    6. Bluetiger1

  16. ☈☾
    • 8 Years

    Regret selling Darwin for Toney 🙁

    1. GE
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Why? I’m considering it

      1. ☈☾
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 26 days ago

        Darwin is going to haul in next 2 games

  17. The Parrot
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Final decisions

    A)Zich or
    B) Gabriel on WC

    Start
    1) Madison
    2) Mitoma

    1. dshv
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      I am going zinc

    2. gkoc
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Zinchenko and Maddison.

  18. CheesyZoot
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Raya or Sanchez on WC?

    Have kepa

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Raya. Brighton have 3plus decent outfield options

    2. The Parrot
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Have went Raya after much deliberation

    3. Ajaxeeding
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      I went Raya as well.

    4. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Raya

    5. gkoc
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Going with Sanchez allows you to save a transfer in 28 and you can go Maddison instead of a second Brighton midfielder. From 26-28 Maddison and March/Mitoma have three fixtures, so you don't lose anything but you save a transfer in 28 beecause you can bench Sanchez instead of an outfield player, aaand you save a transfer in 29 where you will probably want Maddison anyway. Plus, Brighton double is much better in 29 from a defensive point of view.

  19. ididnt

    For a hit:

    A. Salah/Mitro > Rashford/Kane
    B. Mahrez/Mitro > Rashford/Toney

    Wc. Next gw.

      I’m currently on mitoma, doesn’t feel great though…..

  21. dshv
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Go henry on WC over mee and pinnock ????

    1. Ajaxeeding
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      I went Pinnock

  22. Bubbles1985
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Current squad:

    Kepa
    Estupinan Tripp Tark
    Saka(vc) Rashford Salah Martinelli Mahrez
    Haaland(c) Toney

    Ward Nketiah Botman Bueno

    0.2m itb and 1ft

    Tempted by WC but not sure it's essential yet?
    All bonus chips remaining...

    Keep as it is and roll, GTG?
    Nketiah to Ings for punt, if not!

    Any advice appreciated, cheers

    1. alsybach
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      GTG the WC bandwagon is a red herring……

    2. Ajaxeeding
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Touch call as I think you could be GTG using just FTs. However, that being said, if I had your team (which I almost had), I would want transfer out Ward; Tark; Bueno; Salah; Mahrez and Nketiah. So to me, that would warrant a WC.

  23. Tripleh123
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Last call, who to start?

    a) Mahrez
    b) Mitoma

    1. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      B mahrez due a start after 2 benchings, foden flavour of the month at the minute!

    2. Sir France's Bacon
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Mitoma. Most of the predicted lineups don't have Mahrez starting.

  24. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 26 days ago

    Best Brentford defender irrespective of money?

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      I've gone Mee

    2. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Mee
      Gone Henry to save .5 fir further transfers

    3. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years

      Pinnock

    4. Ajaxeeding
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 26 days ago

      Pinnock for me

  25. Gizzachance

      MacAllister instead of Mitoma? Better stats

      1. Gizzachance
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 26 days ago

        True , but not getting the returns yet, still have to bench one of Mac/mitoma if I start March

    I hate it when City kick off at 12.30. Having to be glued to twitter up until 11 just in case there is news that Haaland is benched and then the subsequent crashing FPL website when trying to change it.

      I feel like being glued to Twitter for City leaks is a step I'm pleased I can avoid. I'll take my choice and live with it. Better than scrambling with collapsed websites
