    2. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      same

  8. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Everyone rushing to get Watkins but there are 3 different Villa midfielders all under 1% owned who each scored 17 points in the last 2 gameweeks.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      pick 1 for this week when everyone is benching Arsenal or Brighton mids?

      1. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        No need to bench the arsenal mids, I have started Buendia along with Saka and Martinelli

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

          Good luck

          yeah, Brighton benched.

    2. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      no other players who are scoring so consistently though

    3. El Presidente
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Went for Harrison instead

  9. Free Hat
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    A sincere good luck to the brave who went no haaland this gw.
    Wished i had the balls to do it

    1. threeputt
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      never really considered it with managed minutes

      1. threeputt
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        and probably a little rusty (I hope !)

    2. Dunster
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Thank you. Squeaky bum time.

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        you definitely need to be on the dunny!

    3. Pariße
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Got KDB and Jesus, I can hold without.

  10. Urban Cowboy.
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Benched Toney, not overly convinced.

    1. threeputt
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      same, him or Mitoma or Salah I didn't like the sound of

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Toney is scoring today after everyone sold him!

      1. The FPL Units
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        More than Haaland?

        1. Sun Jihai
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 12 months ago

          Nah hard to see Haaland scoring fewer than 3 goals today

      2. Mr. O'Connell
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        He better

  11. threeputt
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    If Bowen goes on one now I've transferred him out you'll be hearing me swear !

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      I sold Ings, I bet WHM get a few goals

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        they certainly need some soon

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      you're likely safe on that score.

      He might do another assist?

    3. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      I hear ya. I’ll be using a few choice words myself

  12. FISSH
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Play March or Mac Allister?

    1. FISSH
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Oops too late

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Who'd you go with?

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      play to the 11 am deadline?

    3. El Presidente
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      March

  13. DandyDon
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Playing roulette between Harland and Watkins at the end there. Ended up back on Watkins who I think is the smarter choice this week, will make watching the city game on tv very tough!

    1. fantasist
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Same. Actually avoided Haaland completely since he's just returning from injury and will have managed minutes esp with Bayern game next week

  14. Tonyawesome69
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Only dilemma was starting Estupinan or Botman and went with the former as I'm starting Toney. GL folks

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      GL, I made many decisions with mine team too!

  15. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Going to be lots of bench points this week

    1. Sun God Nika
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Yep I can see it now

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Yea my bench of Andreas, Tarkowski and Perraud will smash it.

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Common with a popular BB week just having happened.

    4. A. PRISE
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      No doubt about it

  16. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Feel differential with double Arsenal mid, make or break I reckon

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Yeah, Saka and Martinelli here too. Hope Arsenal break the duck with visits to Anfield

  17. Paddyfrancis92
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Yikes, ended up playing Macalister over Fernandez, getting a bad feeling already! Chose form over fixture, Eriksen may make a massive difference!

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Bruno could be okay today if Everton don't hold it to 2-1 or something like that.

      1. Paddyfrancis92
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Tricky, Man Utd are bottom over the last few games for both XG and NPXG, in contrast with BHA are second top, but Everton conceding a bit more than Tottenham. Fernandez is at home, but Macalister’s stats are starkly superior currently. Fernandez haul incoming then!

  18. Shultan
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    March & estu on my bench

    1. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Same. Can't wait for them to roll Spurs...

  19. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Made the last minute decision to remove Kane on WC, was benching him this week and only keeping for next week where I still may have benched him and then would have needed to get rid after FH32 to bring in Salah, so at least this way I can just get Salah in one move now. Was just unsure who to bring in out of players 7m and under, only players from teams whose fixtures I liked were Isak and Wilson so went for Wilson. Might end up being the wrong call but he'll still be benched for me for a few weeks so we'll see.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      yeah Kane pivots to Salah and the wildcard gives you that flexibility.

  20. TRIPOS TOPPER
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Had 2FT and didn't get EH in

    Went for Mings and Martinez

    need to go differential as 50points behind ML who I am sure will go EH...

    Also I think EH could get rested, one more game then he blanks anyway and want to save FH for the DGW

  21. ididnt
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Benching headache. Any advice?

    Start two of:

    A. Mac10
    B. Estupinan
    C. Madisson
    D. Gabriel

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      😆

    2. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Too late

    3. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      For GW31?

    4. Sun God Nika
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      For week 31?..

    5. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      You didn't.

      1. ididnt
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Doh

  22. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Maddison haul incoming

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      That would be great

    2. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Bloody hope so

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      5 blanks in the last 6 suggest otherwise

    4. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      3pts instead of 1 or 2?

      1. The Mentaculus
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        CS is crazy talk

  23. Supersonic_
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Haaland is going to punish me isn't he

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Hope so

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Highly likely

    3. threeputt
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      friend of yours ?
      if you're into that kind of thing of course.....

        1. The Knights Template
          • 12 Years

    5. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Could set a new PL record for goals scored in a game today -

  24. Ten Hag of Bud
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Toney to Jesus last second. Brought in Shaw last week didn't feel like fixing it.

  25. SHOOTER MCGINN
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Confirmed Haaland not starting...

    ...in my FPL team. Missed the deadline.

  26. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Celtic v Rangers soon, who busts whose recent form?

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Celtic will win imo

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        yeah, that's my thinking too.

  27. Bishopool
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Good luck to u guys! (especially non-Haaland squads - incl. me)

  28. AC/DC AFC

    • 10 Years

    https://twitter.com/ElBobble/status/1644645766802055169?t=EFdMuSbw6nSgm0f8JqD0-w&s=19

  29. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    No Walker for the foreseeable.

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Pep mind games?

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 12 months ago

      Next game: Walker plays

      1. GENERATION X
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 12 months ago

        Probably in place of undroppable Ake

  30. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 12 months ago

    Rashford leads the line...
