    This could easily be a 150+ week for bench boosters

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 11 days ago

      Don't say that 🙁

      1. Scots Gooner

        Sorry if I jinxed it for everyone. I got a bit excited

    2. FantasyTony

      45 points incoming

    3. dansully3

      Lay off the smack!

  2. Vpan
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 11 days ago

    Is Ward to anyone worth a hit?
    Need at least a clean sheet or ton of saves and a Ward no show to justify the -4, right?

    1. Vlad Tepes
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 11 days ago

      In same situation, any info that he really is dropped?

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 11 days ago

      If on BB then take the hit imo

    3. Dollyems15
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 days ago

      Speaking on Thursday, Rodgers said: “He (Iversen) will start the next game. It was really good for Wardy to go away. He had a couple of good results with the national team. He’s played, so that will help his confidence after a difficult period, but Daniel will start the next game.”

      1. The Count of Monte Cristo
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 11 days ago

        Daniel is Ward? Oh wow, they both have the same name

      2. Vlad Tepes
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 11 days ago

        So ward might start the 2nd

  3. Raiser153
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 11 days ago

    Who to captain?

    A. Salah
    B. Rashford
    C. Mitoma

    Currently 50 points behind 1st in mini league and in top 150000

    1. Heiro
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 11 days ago

      Mitoma for me

    2. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 11 days ago

      Mitoma

    3. ritzyd
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 11 days ago

      Salah

    4. MIGHTY JOE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 11 days ago

      Salah

  4. Ibralicious
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 11 days ago

    Mee —> Shaw (-4)

    Worth a hit? Cheers !

    1. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 11 days ago

      I think so

  5. lordkippe

    Iversen finger injury?

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years

      Still better than ward

    2. dansully3

      Sounds fish(y) on fools day!

        A random guy on Leicester forum. Could be a joke tbh

  6. Bigbars
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 11 days ago

    Was all planning for bb, but the flags have thrown so much doubt on their efficiency. Now thinking to delay bb to gw34. Currently on 7 dgw players, as rash is flagged and greenwood bench fodder. Any advice pls?

    Squad:
    Kepa, trippier, Gabriel, shaw, estupinan
    Maddison, rashford, martinelli, salah
    Haaland, Toney
    (Raya, ake, almiron, greenwood

    Plan until injuries was to switch almiron to a Brighton mid. Have 0.5itb and 2ft and all my chips.

    1. AARON-1
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 days ago

      My bench boost is a bit rubbish. I am free hitting because I am in good shape for 32 and will easily have a good team with 2 transfers.

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 11 days ago

        FH and BB? Don't think so

      2. Bigbars
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 11 days ago

        Thanks.
        More and more I think about it, if haaland only plays part or is not fully fit, I will risk bb on another gw. In my head I would like a fully playing bench to use it now.1/2 out of 4 could be a waste this gw, especially if only playing once.

  7. ManUtdFan977
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 11 days ago

    which one to bench saka marti or kane?
    do i transfer saka to bruno?

    1. ritzyd
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 11 days ago

      Mart & No

  8. The Count of Monte Cristo
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 11 days ago

    Ward --> Iversen (-4) on BB?

    Feels silly, but anything to suggest Iversen will lose his place?

    1. lordkippe
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 11 days ago

      Someone says he has a finger injury on Leicester forum. But could be a joke

    Morning everyone.

    3 questions for you all this morning. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated please. All questions refer to this game week in isolation.

    1). Salah owners - are you keeping faith with him this week or are you transferring him out?

    2). Bowen or Maddison in our midfields?

    3).Ings or Solanke as cheap 3rd strikers.

      1. I don't own Salah but if you have him you probably keep him, right? Most other people have Kane who just has 1 game this GW.

      2. Maddison

      3. Ings

      1. GC123
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 11 days ago

        Thanks Pascal. What’s the logic? Higher ceiling for Max Allister? My gut tells me double BRI mid better than double BRI def (I have Estupinan and Mitoma already) but the conservative me is saying just do Ward to Steele for free

  19. PascalCygan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 11 days ago

    Estupinan or Dunk?

    Estupinan more attacking, higher upside, but potential minutes risk and leaves exact funds to do Toney to Haaaland next week

    Dunk more limited but more secure in minutes and leaves an extra 0.1ITB

    1. ritzyd

      Seems fine

  21. Sailboats
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 11 days ago

    I can already feel these happening:
    >Haaland plays 0 minutes
    >All 3 Brighton mids blank
    >Toney gets a YC in the first game
    >Rashford, Bruno and Shaw blank
    >Arsenal lose 1-0 to Leeds

    1. MIGHTY JOE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 11 days ago

      Your feelings wrong mate 😀

  22. POGON 1948
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 11 days ago

    Despite all the DGW planning my bench looks underwhelming for a BB

    Kepa, Zinchenko, Martinelli, Kane

    Kepa has a double and the rest have favourable single fixtures.. worth it to still pull the trigger do you reckon? I guess I’m thinking from a perspective of if not now then when

    1. MIGHTY JOE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 11 days ago

      Yes that’s worth BB

    2. iveseenitall
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 11 days ago

      Still some big players on there, hard to do the whole wc then bb this year with the way the blank fell last week.

    3. Bigbars
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 11 days ago

      I’m in the same boat with a similar bench. I’m unless I get a last minute confirm on haaland gonna not play bb this week, and just focus on playing dgw players and salah haaland and martinelli. Never a great day to use it as we base it on probability and some of mine play each other, Brentford, Newcastle, united

    4. POGON 1948
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 days ago

      Cheers all, appreciate your thoughts

      Think I'm gonna pull the trigger

        After idz we’ve all been waiting for today

  24. Tshelby
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 11 days ago

    Watkins to Isak would be a really stupid move, right? Would really like to put Isak in my team

    1. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 11 days ago

      yea

  25. iveseenitall
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 11 days ago

    To afford salah
    A) maddison > barnes
    B) toney > ings
    C) alisson > iverson (other keeper is steele)

    1. ritzyd
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 11 days ago

      Toney to Solanke

  26. The Rock
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 11 days ago

    For a free transfer, would it be better to bring in Shaw for Gabriel or Bruno for Saka?

    Bruno has a bigger upside and I can still afford Toney to Haaland next week. But Saka is so consistently good, it would be hard to go without him?

    1. FantasyTony
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 11 days ago

      I think Gab to Shaw would probably work out.

      1. The Rock
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 11 days ago

        Thanks, probably safest choice.

    2. dansully3
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 11 days ago

      Madness even thinking of ditching Saka. I agree Bruno is probably golden this week though. I'd jig it around another way even -4

      1. The Rock
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 11 days ago

        Already have Mitoma, March, Maddison and Rashford in MF, hard to lose any of them so I think I will just forget about Bruno for now.

    3. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 11 days ago

      I’ve brought Bruno in but wouldn’t want to lose Saka so Shaw here

      1. The Rock
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 11 days ago

        Thanks, I'd hate to lose Saka as well, only for his fixtures are starting to getting a bit trickier.

  27. Flying Assassins
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 11 days ago

    Henry —> Chilwell worth a -4?

    1. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 11 days ago

      Looks ok

  28. BrockLanders
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 11 days ago

    Is it worth selling Zinchenko to Shaw or Estupinan for minus 4??

    1. ritzyd
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 11 days ago

      No

    2. DavvaMC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 11 days ago

      I cannot decide either!

  29. FPL Brains
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 11 days ago

    After all this, I'm probably going to roll the transfer. Red arrow regardless no doubt.

    1. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 11 days ago

      Hate taking hits tbh

    2. The Knights Template

      Make a transfer

        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 11 days ago

        I'm confused mate.

        What's the Knights guidance?

        Martinelli>Salah/Bruno?
        Toney>Haaland/Isak?

        Thing is I'm debating when to use my FH, 32 or 34.

    3. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 11 days ago

      Good luck. I’ve not taken any hits and seems like I’m still getting a red arrow with just XI dgw players

      1. GC123
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 11 days ago

        Eleven DGW players is fine given there are decent SGW players like Saka, Kane etc

        1. Paqueta Rice
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 11 days ago

          Yeah happy with my SGW players, Gabriel, Martinelli, Saka and Kane. Just Gabriel I’m contemplating changing but now dire the -4 is worth it.

          1. Paqueta Rice
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 11 days ago

            *sure

        Cheers buddy. I've only got 8 DGWers and no BB.

        1. Paqueta Rice
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 11 days ago

          Yeah, could be a tough week for you then. Make sure you nail that captain choice!

  30. ☈☾

    Anyone taking a punt on captain?

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 11 days ago

      Sensible?

    2. Urban Cowboy.
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 11 days ago

      Feels like every captain is a punt this week.

      1. dansully3
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 11 days ago

        At least 60% will be on rashers and either mitoma or march after that so it's surely worth a punt to make it interesting.

    3. el polako
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 11 days ago

      Yeah, thinking Salah.

    4. Earwicker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 11 days ago

      Watkins. Have 3BHA and Rash but behind so need some return.

    5. Paqueta Rice
