    Neco loses his place again just as I buy him lol

      Can't 'lose' his spot if he'd only started 2 games since the World Cup.

      His most recent 120 mins are purely becuase Aurier got injured vs. City & he subbed on in his place that match.

      Cheers, it’s a known issue and in the queue for a fix

        Phone me up and I'll give you a broad idea of how to possibly do it, might not work, and it'll be 25 quid

    Did anyone else here captain Rashford in the end then or did basically everyone go Haaland/Saka?

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

      I went Salah. Was a coin toss between him and Rashford..

    2. brianutd-why always we? 20
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Odegaard

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

      Saka here. Just one of those weeks

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

      Got him as cap in my other team but I guess that doesn’t count

    5. ☈☾
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I'm on Rashford (C)

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

      Nah, went Saka. Fortunately still on a decent green thanks to Mitoma (mostly) & Estupiñán.

    7. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 8 Years

      Trossard - went well

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

        That was unlucky

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

          Very kind

    8. Kane and Ablett
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Saka again, I preferred last week

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

    Licking my fpl wounds

    Took a -20 and put in Maddison and benched Mitoma.

    Now taking Maddison out now do I put in March or Macalister?

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

      Why taking maddison out? Did he get injured?

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Why are you selling Maddison?

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

      Hello fellow Maddison starter/Mitoma bencher, hold Maddison

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

        Hurts don’t it lol

    4. The Mighty Hippo
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      surely you brought Maddison in because he plays in 28 and has a double in 29. There is no need to move him out again.

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

        For double a rampant Brighton mf and Maddison got Chelsea then back to Maddison for 28/29

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

          You just took a -20. I don't think you need this

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

            Also, Maddison is essentially an underpriced fixture-proof premium trapped in a bad team (think Bowen last season) when you check his return rate. He's the reason I'll rather take a -4 for Sanchez to Raya than play Kepa. I fear that dude for my defenders, even though I don't have him

          2. g40steve
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Being too clever -20 is never working & a disaster during low scoring week.

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

      Try doing same with Barnes

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

      -20 is such a bad move

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

      Yikes!

    8. thegame983
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Did you have your wildcard? Cause I wouldn't take a -8 if I still had my wildcard.

    9. Kane and Ablett
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Keep, he’ll come right over the next few weeks there’s surely a better way to get more Brighton if you’re going to play them

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

    For a dgw player match or Macalister

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

      You need to realise that everyone will recommend the player who just hauled rather than the one who just blanked.

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

        So true, everyone had forgotten completely about McAllister before this gameweek lol.
        What a difference a pen can make

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

          Ahead of this gameweek I saw plenty of good recommendations with Mac Alliaster in. Fair few got him, many opted to bench.

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

            Fair enough, always thought it was March or Mitoma

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      That's not why you're selling Maddison. What's wrong with Maddison himself as an asset? Why lose him after buying him for a hit? Injury, fixtures, stats or BGWs?

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

    Leicesters form and want double Brighton mf

    1. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years

      Dude you need to click on the reply button then post

  7. Tonyawesome69
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Folks are so reactive and knee jerky when players blank. Have a look at their underlying stats and watch extended highlights. We are trying to predict the next set of returns, not chase previous points

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

      Reason and logic not welcome here.

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

      Let them sell and let them moan later.

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

    Can't get any Brighton mid; can I?

    Pickford
    Shaw Trippier White
    Salah Saka Rashford Odegaard
    Haaland Darwin Toney

    Ward Bailey Digne Bueno

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Bailey next 4 games better than Brighton mid?

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

        Who would you bench in 27 is the question

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          I'm currently benching Ode

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Depends on how much you've got in the bank, as a Bailey owner

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

        Have enough in the bank but won't have enough playing in 28 + who do I bench in 27?

    3. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Oddegard and Bailey to Mitoma and March?

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

        I will have 7 playing in 28 in that case.

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

      No WC? A few hits never did me any harm.

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

        No WC. Yes, might have to take hits.

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

          Good lad. Hits made me the man I am today.

  9. Salalalalah
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    All home team wins so far this week. May that change with Tark goal!

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

      Today will be the oppsoite I'm afraid.

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

        Still want Liv to win and Salah goal would be icing on the top!

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

          Sorry. That is Grays Sports Almanac told me.

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

    I still can't believe the lads won yesterday after being 2:0 down. Yeah, it's only Bournemouth but it doesn't feel any less special because of that. Post 90th minute winners are something else for the fans...

    People who are bitterly calling Arsenal lucky should check the stats or watch the actual game. And besides that, you make your own luck. 😉

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

      People who are calling Arsenal lucky have not seen football during the Fergie era.

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

        Nelson is the new Steve Bruce.

    2. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Lucky you were, going a goal down to rock bottom team after 10 seconds, probably a record somewhere

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

        Isn't that literally unlucky?

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

          Think it was just poor defending, weren't switched on.

  11. Supersonic_
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Tark CS here be sound. Please and thank you

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Not happening BJ 🙂

  12. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Sanchez, Royale & Maddy owners any plans to remove, probably hold Maddy but Leicester are going down at this rate?

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

      Hooold. The draw of Maddy is he can do well no matter how bad his team is.

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      - Is Sanchez your main GK?
      - do you plan to BB27?
      - Emerson recovered from a minor injury which is the reason why he didn't start.
      - Maddison unlucky not to get a return yesterday

      1. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Reya,
        Probably 29
        Wanted a differential
        Holding but he did look off yesterday

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Stick with all 3 then assess in 29

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

    Brought in Ward Prowse over Brighton mid as I suspected some penalties and free kick goals. He’s also got a game in 28.

    But

    He missed a pen and might not be on them anymore. Could sell him for Mac Calister or should I stick with him?

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

      Thing with jwp is you have to stick imo

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

        I’ve been burned by him before as well. But when I found out about Mahrez I had to act quickly.

        Regretting it

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

      Why would he be off just because he missed one. Is there anything concrete? Soton's - very slim - chance of survival depnds on him entirely.

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      JWP will still be on pens imo

  14. capoultra
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Let's go Tark howay man

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

      He will haul 100%. WC punishment continue.

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

        Let's hope so 🙂

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…

      Maccers, pizza or kebab?

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

    My main dilemma next week is whether to bring in Toney or MacAllister. Leaning towards doing Darwin > Toney at the moment.

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

      Correct. No advice needed from us.

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Probably boils down to who you want to captain and if Toney gets his 9th YC tomorrow

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

      Toney is more important to own in the coming weeks. He could totally kill your OR.

    4. Wild Card this!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Well, Toney has 1 game more in next 2GW but Mac has more in long run.
      I would go Toney regardless

      Thought he meant Clinton was putting it on which I agree would have been offputting.
