  1. Connor's Calling
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Last call:

    Toney or Havertz for next 2 GWs (on WC)?

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

      I’d probably go Havertz

      1. Connor's Calling
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Ta - time to be brave maybe!

    2. Admiral Benson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Havertz if chasing. Toney otherwise

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

      If you like points then Toney

  2. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Are you put off by Bruno for next week now that Casemiro will be out?

    United drop a level without him, plus he’ll likely drop deeper in his absence.

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

      Not massively. Still the heartbeat of the team in many ways. Only takes a pen to change a gameweek for him

    2. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Agree with you that United aren't as good without Casemiro, but I don't think Bruno will drop deeper. Sabitzer or McTominay will come in to replace Casemiro and Bruno will keep the number 10 spot.

    3. Admiral Benson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Still a great pick for the double. Sabitzer likely to play in the pivot with Fred.
      He’s just a tricky price to get to

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

    Was all set to save my second FT but Schar has me thinking again.

    Estupinan to Chilwell worth it for free?

    That way, I’ll have 11 if Schar does plays but still 10 if he doesn’t. Can reevaluate during international break if I want Estu back.

    Thanks!

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

      Not worth it imo

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

        Cheers

  4. Zero
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Zinchenko out, Chilwell in ok for this week? Or delay the transfer to next week...? Thanks in advance!

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

      Yeah, probably pays off

  5. Rhodes your boat
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    A) chilwell
    B) James

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

      A

    2. Admiral Benson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A

  6. el polako
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Should be some variety this week with captain choices. Kane, Saka, Watkins, Toney or even Odegard - all good options.
    Will be down to gut feeling and luck once again. Happy days.

  7. Flynny
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Anything for a hit here? Or play with 10

    7mitb. But I need that to get bruno and haaland back for gw30. Thanks

    Roy Hodgson back to Palace could be on the cards!

    1. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      He looks Bidenesque these days, aged about 15 years since he last left Palace. He needs to just enjoy his retirement.

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

    Who to get out of Watkins and Iheanacho?

  10. putana
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    who would you rather own this week:

    a) odegaard

    b) chilwell

  11. Claudio555
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Schar to Chilwell (-4) given Schar’s out of intl squad?

  12. paza12
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Worth doing Robertson to Trippier for -4? Will mean I have 11 playing this week, and would only have 10 without the transfer. Cheers!

  13. tim
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    FH

    Kepa
    Gabriel Chillwell Trippier
    Saka Trossard Maddison Son
    Kane Toney Watkins

    Ward James Bailey Mings

    GTG or play James? Triple Che def sounds mad.

  14. Ian Davis
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Mitoma > Maddison worth -4?

  15. mr_jones
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    worried that zinchenko gets a rest. who in? got gabriel, trippier, mee and chilly allready

  16. Futureform
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Bruno G at Newcastle - anyone seen him recently?

    Anyone thinking of having him for GW28/29?

    Is he getting into scoring positions?

    1. Bad Kompany
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Plays too deep for my liking

    2. Hairy Potter
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Had a header against the bar against Wolves, but is mainly playing quite a sitting role with Longstaff and Willock making the forward runs.

    3. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Great player in real life; Terrible option in FPL.

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

      Ah thanks all. I know previously he's occasionally appeared with a couple of goals, but it sounds like though possible, the odds are very much against it in the current set up. Cheers.

  17. Bad Kompany
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Last decision:
    Start ramsdale or kepa?

    1. Bruno Commando
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Rams

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

      Ram

  18. Bruno Commando
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Henry to Chilwell for a hit? It will be a long-term move...

    1. Bad Kompany
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I did it

  19. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Pick one to capt

    A) Havertz

    B) Toney

    C) Kane.

    Leaning towards Toney tbh.

    1. Bruno Commando
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I'm on Toney

      1. The hope that kills...
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Likewise. But I'm a suffering Saint and therefore not a reliable judge

    2. Admiral Benson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Toney if chasing. Kane otherwise.
      Odegaard if you’re feeling brave

    3. Bad Kompany
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I’m on Kane but toney is my second choice and not far behind

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

        Yeah could do well v Leicester.. And Kane is known to blank when he's needed.

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

      Toney here

  20. Slitherene
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Who will be more captained in the Top 10k?

    A) Kane
    B) Toney

    Best place to look for Newcastle team leak tonight? Thanks

  22. Jon Snow
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I have WC, FH, BB and TC left haven't been paying attention to the chip strats this season. Should I panic and do a quick 45 minute wildcard? I can field 7 atm.

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

      I am same and did FH. there are pros and cons to WC and FH.

  23. aapoman
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Good to go? 0ft and 0.5itb

    Raya
    Gabriel Trippier Botman Henry Tarkowski
    Saka Odegaard
    Toney Watkins

    Ward; Haaland, Salah, Rashford, Mitoma

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

      yep good luck

  24. Bobby_Baggio
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    FH - Would you prefer Ramsdale + James over Kepa + Gabriel?

    Kepa
    Chillwell - Gabriel - Trippier
    Saka - Odegaard - Maddison - Son
    Toney - Kane - Watkins

    (Forster) - Willock - Mings - Perraud

    1. Connor's Calling
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      i'd go Kepa + Gabriel i reckon

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

        Its close - you think theres a higher ceiling with James?

        1. Connor's Calling
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Maybe - but his injury record is so grim and tbf didnt notice it was a FH. Might be worth the punt if it's one week only. Dunno - soz

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

            thats ok - cheers for replying

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

      Same FH team, same problem

      Currently on Kepa and Gabriel.

  25. Ten Season Wonder
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I have 10 men out… is it worth switching Estupinan out for a -4 hit? If so, to who?

    Raya
    Trips / Botman / Pinnock / Chilwell
    Madds / Saka
    Kane / Toney / Watkins

    1. Connor's Calling
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      i'd prob leave it at this point

      1. Ten Season Wonder
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers man. Had same thoughts, but thought I’d ask the question

  26. DMP
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Was all set on saving the FT for the DGW29 and now Almiron gets a knock!!!! 😐 There goes all the planning.

  27. Maddamotha
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Mings or Henry?

  28. Drogba Legend
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Took a hit to field 11 this GW: Captain?

    Kepa
    Tripp - Botman - Tark - White - Chillwell (C)
    Saka - Ode - Maddison
    Toney - Felix (VC)

    Ward - rash - Haaland - MacAllister

    Cheers

  29. King H
    • 14 Years

    Need a mahrez replacement.
    Thinking of Mudryk which would free up some funds for chillwell too.

    Do I do it?

    It sucks looking at your team and seeing a player not playing.
