    Deliberating about who to bench between Toney and March. Currently benching March.

    1. Shteve
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      I'm currently starting March over Toney, Spurs were very poor during the week..

    5. RamaJama

      Cheers, GL!

  4. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    Don't really fancy my chances vs the template this week, I have to say.... Could be 30 points down

    Tarkowski vs Chilwell
    Salah vs Saka
    Toney vs Watkins

    1. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      I'd be surprised if it's anywhere near 30

  5. bitm2007
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    Kepa (Steel)
    Trippier, Burn, Mee (Estupiñán, SHAW)

    Is Mee to Chilwell worth a hit ?

    1. Moneymar
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Nope

  6. Tshelby
    • 11 Years

    Morning all. Bench 1 of

    A. Bruno F
    B. Mitoma
    C. Mac Allister
    D. Martinelli

    Thanks

    1. Heavy Cream
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      A

      1. GC123
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        But it’s Everton at home. I can’t see Brighton routing Spurs on their own patch so wouldn’t Mitoma give me enough coverage?

        1. Heavy Cream
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 6 days ago

          Go C then

    2. Moneymar

      C

        Thanks

    4. Heavy Cream
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      I told you to bench Bruno 🙂

      1. GC123
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        I know, I know. Though we might get a pen today. Tbh he could have hauled today with the chances he’s had / created. Just one of those days

        1. Heavy Cream
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 6 days ago

          This game is agonising!

          1. GC123
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 6 days ago

            Agreed. He could have got me 15 points today. Instead I have to settle for 3 if I’m lucky

            1. Heavy Cream
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 6 days ago

              Yeah, I was being an arse. He was on fire today. A keeper for the Notts game for sure.

              1. GC123
                • 4 Years
                3 years, 6 days ago

                Struggling to comprehend how he didn’t return. All I need now is Mac Allister to score two pens v spurs after I benched him for rat boy! It’s the hope that kills ya

  8. Babit1967
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    Final WC team lads, Gtg & Mings or Moreno?

    DDG
    VVD Moreno/Mings Stones Trips (Estup)
    Salah Rashford Grealish (Mitoma, Andreas)
    Haaland (C) Kane Watkins

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

    Anyone in the "Haaland can haul camp" noticed he's managed more than one goal just three times in the last six months in the PL?

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

      Although I will note I am captaining someone who hasn't managed to score more than 1 goal in a game all season 😀

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      So he "can" haul?

      Fwiw, Watkins is the best captain this week and would be on him all the way if I owned. Can't go against Gandhi and captain Rashford, so that leaves Haaland. Expecting a 1 pointer, but you never know.

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

        Yeah but I feel like a lot of the "he'll probably score 4 lol" camp don't realise that his first 2-3 month form hasn't been replicated, particularly since the WC. He is a goal machine. He can haul. But not with the reliability that people expect

        1. GENERATION X
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 6 days ago

          So CL doesnt count?

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

            For FPL points? No

        2. Mr. O'Connell
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 6 days ago

          Of course. Has done it in the FA Cup and UCL, though.

          I held through his injury and I'm just grateful he's back and there's all this rush to get and captain him as it should mean less damage to me from a Watkins haul.

  10. kwesin
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    A bit late but whats the prefered strategy if you have all your chips left .

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

      Salt, Pepper, Vinegar, Ketchup, Consume

      1. Boss Hogg
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        Bench Pepper. Start Mayo.

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 6 days ago

          This.

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

          Contraversial. I wouldn't play Ketchup and Mayo

          1. Boss Hogg
            • 16 Years
            3 years, 6 days ago

            Never pair them in the middle, but out on the wings can work.

            1. Sharkytect
              • 11 Years
              3 years, 6 days ago

              I think they make an excellent rotating combo

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

      As a serious answer, I suspect DGW34 for BB. Probably WC this week (if 75 mins before deadline is enough to think about it) or next, FH32 and then find a double week for a TC

  11. Gonna mesut up
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    Would love some advice if you have a sec

    Bench
    a) Mee
    b) Estupinan
    c) Burn

    Have Trippier as well...

    1. Gonna mesut up
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      oops, meant which one should I pick in the first XI...

    2. Shteve
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Tricky, possibly B

      1. Shteve
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        Oh, id chance C so. Still tricky though!

  12. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    Might be proved wrong but I don’t see what giving Haaland less than say 30 minutes achieves in terms of both fitness and a test of that groin. If he breaks down when starting in the Bayern game thats more disruptive, surely better to confirm its up to the job today and if not they can plan a false 9/Alvarez route otherwise.

  13. Bobby_Baggio
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    Morning all. 0FT and 1m ITB. Going to WC33 and BB34. Worth taking -4 anywhere? Not sure losing Darwin for Watkins makes sense with Darwin having fixture GW32.

    Martinez
    Ake - A.Moreno - Trippier
    Macallister - Saka - Salah - Rashford
    Toney - Darwin - Haaland

    (Kepa) - Henry - Andreas - Saliba

  14. Gazzpfc
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    Gw 34

    Martinelli and Kane sgw
    Salah and Darwin dgw

    Yes or no????

  15. The Tinkerman
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    RMWCT?

    Ederson
    Trippier, White, Porto
    Salah, Rashford, Saka, Grealish, Mitoma
    Haaland, Kane

    Iversen; Mitchell, Williams, Greenwood

    Too risky?

    1. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Porto = Porro

    2. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Like the Mitchell pick, was looking at his stats and fixtures this morning

      1. The Tinkerman
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        It’s him or Alex Moreno at that price

  16. jumbob
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    Kane > Haaland (C) (-4) or no?

  17. OffsidePenalty
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    What is the best option here?
    Dont have the funds to do straight swap with Toney to Haaland.

    A) Kane to Haaland
    B) Maddison and Toney to Grealish and Haaland (-4)

    And start one

    1) Henry(New)
    2) Zinchenko(Liv)

    1. Heavy Cream
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      B2

  18. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    is KDB (C) crazy?

    1. Shteve
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Not crazy no

    2. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Risky but not crazy. I was tempted to get him in but unsure about rotation/rest, decided to leave it a few weeks

    3. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      could be if he's benched for the Munich match in 3 days time.

  19. pemell
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    What's the best source for checking a player's average position in the last match?

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

      Sofascore pretty decent and quick.

  20. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    Who should I start? Already have Tripp

    A - Botman
    B - Estu

  21. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    Bench one

    A. Isak
    B. March
    C. Mitoma

    1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Isak

  22. Junks
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    Looking for some advice. Big mistake last GW. Took a -8 to set up to use my BB and forgot to activate it! Lost out on 28 points!!
    I was keen to get rid of BB to through everything into starting 11 for remaining games but now I'm stuck. I have 3 from Man U and Brighton who both blank in 32 then double in 34 and have no City or Arsenal (apart from Zinc) Help needed... as not sure how to manage it??

    1FT 1.1ITB
    Raya De Gea
    Tripps Chilwell Zinc Estupinan Mee
    Madds BrunoF March MaCal Rash
    Kane Toney Watkins

    What would you do this GW? Hold and Roll?

  23. Return of the FF
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    Pick two to play?

    A. Henry
    B. Gabriel
    C. Estupinan

    1. Bruno
    2. March

  24. JakesNorval
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    Bench one...doing my head in !

    A) mitoma
    B) mac
    C)saka
    D) Rashf
    E) kane
    F) Martinelli
    G) ollie
    H) Haal

    1. GC123
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Similar dilemma. Mac Allister v Martinelli. Leaning towards Mac being benched

      1. JakesNorval
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 days ago

        Ye agree, currently have Martinelli on the bench lol

        1. GC123
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 6 days ago

          Don’t bench him. Versus Trent. Could have a field day

          1. JakesNorval
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 6 days ago

            True story, think I'll go with that, cheers mate, goodluck!

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

        Cheers

  25. CAREFREEE
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    Front three of Watkins / Toney / Kane

    A: Toney & Raya > Haaland & Steele (-4)
    B: Kane > Haaland

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

    Bench 1:

    A) Mitoma
    B) Mac
    C) Maddison

    Currently Mitoma but feels Iike it's a bit of a lottery. RMT says to bench Mac I think.

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      I'm benching B but you're right any of those could haul or blank.

    2. Heavy Cream
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Either B or C. Erring on B

    3. JakesNorval
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      C for me

  27. Tsparkes10
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    Saving FT. Here’s hoping to a benched Haaland

    1. Thanos
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      Don’t think he will be benched. Probably starts and gets hooked off at 60 mins mark. Either way, I think he will be HAULand this week!

  28. Heavy Cream
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    Watkins captain over Haaland/Grealish?? Talk to me!

  29. Thanos
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    Thinking FH is better suited for DGW34 with 11 doublers including some punts. But it would mean taking a hit or two to field 10 or 11 in BGW32.

    What are you planning to do?

  30. Khazana
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 6 days ago

    Bench 1:
    A) Madison. (at home to Bournemouth, no form)
    B) Fernandes (at home to Everton, no form but maybe pushed up when Eriksen comes on)
    C) Isak (bre away, rotating with Wilson, but could start & haul)

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 6 days ago

      C
