    3 years, 2 months ago

    Time to get my free hit dusted down. He's been waiting patiently all season for use.

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Mine will wait some more. Probably till GW38.

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

      Enjoy! Feel like most of us never get much fun from it. I used mine in GW32 but the week was far too long, think having the short gap between GWs when using it is best to avoid overthinking

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        It'll be easy enough to roll out. Picks itself really.
        But 11 doublers are always nice to look at.
        Until they let me down.

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

      I will be on a wildcard for GW34 and plan on using Benchboost in DGW37

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I'll triple cap in 37 most likely.

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

          Very nice, feels great having the chips to use this close to the end.

    4. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      same here

  2. Orion
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Which Pool combination is better from now on ?

    A: TAA, Salah, Darwin
    B: Robbo, Gakpo, Jota

    Cheers!

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Neither fill me with confidence.

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      TAA Salah Jota what I am going for

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        This

      2. FPL Alaska
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        This. I wouldn't be touching Darwin.

    3. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Allison Jota Salah

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

    Just seen there’s some more fixtures on the ticker. Is that all of them confirmed now?

    1. notlob legin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I believe it is - yes

    2. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

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

      Thank you.

  4. Fabreghastly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Brace for Kane on the 'bounce' this week?

    1. FPL Alaska
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I have a feeling he may punish me for taking him out on a hit.

    2. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Bound to happen. He has a point to prove to get that transfer and most of us sold him.

  5. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    A huge game week with Wild Cards played for 34 BB ... we will see if those who decided not to WC in 26 and BB a bit later in those doubles can claw back some points

    1. FPL Alaska
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      In retospect, WC 26 has been a fail IMO. Still was the right call at the time.

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Some had huge scores and climbed the rankings

        1. Fabreghastly
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          We did. Now we hunker down in the trenches and hope for the best

      2. Hairy Potter
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I was happy with WC28 and BB29.

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

      was happy with WC26 and BB29, Bench Bosost wasnt great but the overall score was.

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

      I wild carded in 22 and that’s done the trick. Still got BB and TC to go.

    4. thegame983
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I wildcarded in GW20 and it has been a massive success.

  6. dshv
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Can’t wait to set the FH team for 34z

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Me tóo

  7. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Only Watkins tonight and a hit, red arrow incoming

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Watkins and Mingo for me.
      And a hit. Red or dead.

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Got in Mings as well and Maddison if he plays.

  8. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Watkins(c) tonight, start it off in the right manner Ollie!

    *I don’t Captain players vs my team (Arsenal) hence no Haaland(c)

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

      Good luck! I hope he does well.

    2. Snake Juice
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I have the same rule.

      Captained Salah this week. Good luck and may the Gunners win.

  9. Amartey Partey
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone else starting Eze and hoping he hauls again?

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

      All those that started him are hoping for a haul I reckon.

      1. JBG
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I'm not, I like when my players get 2pts max.

      2. Amartey Partey
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Ha! True.

    2. Stimps
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Hope so6, I chickened out of Eze to Rash(-4)

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

        One last chance for him.

  10. fantasist

      1. TheBiffas
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        This

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

      Hmmm Ayew back to CF, or Eze as false 9 I wonder?

    3. fantasist
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I started Toti, hopefully he doesn't come on

    4. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Let's go Eze!

    5. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Toti on bench.

  11. JBG
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    What's with the 15min differences in kick off time tonight?

    1. fantasist
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      You can watch the end of all 3

    2. Eze Really?
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Quarter hour

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

      Amazon Prime is airing them all. Allows for maximum gametime watch with the 15 min half time (given it's a weeknight)

      1. fantasist
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        It's on BT sport though?

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

        What as well as BT?

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

          That's what I meant sorry!

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

      So you can roll at half time etc on BT Sport?

      Might help their post match production too.

  12. Stimps
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Eze and Moreno, let's go!

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

    Updated.

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Start My GW 34 FH team Noooow

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

    Bueno's back baby!

  15. Ask Yourself
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Wow my rival who is on the exact same points as me WC to nearly the exact same team as me. Who wins?

    Me: Kepa, Mitoma, Salah, Haaland (C)

    Him: Neto, isak, Salah (C), Haaland

    1. Libano
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Think you got it

    2. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Depends on the captain and nobody can predict that

  16. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Would u play Trippier or Shaw in 34?

    1. Libano
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Tripps

    2. Eightball
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Shaw - Back the doubler.

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

      Probably back the doubler?Not many thought United/Brighton would be a 0-0 in the FA Cup and look what happened. Shaw would have hauled got a nice return in that match.

  17. JBG
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Expecting 2 goals each from Watkins and Mings.

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Me 2

  18. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Aston Villa XI: Martinez, Moreno, Mings, Konsa, Young, Luiz, McGinn, Dendoncker, Ramsey, Buendia, Watkins.

    Subs: Olsen, Sinisalo, Carlos, Chambers, Digne, Duran, Revan, O'Reilly, Traore.

    Fulham XI: Leno, Robinson, Ream, Adarbioyo, Tete, Palhinha, Reed, Willian, Pereira, Wilson, James.

    Subs: Rodak, Duffy, Soares, De Cordova-Reid, Cairney, Solomon, Lukic, Diop, Vinicius.

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

      Got Mings, Buendia and Watkins..Let's GO!!!!!

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

    Martinez and Moreno starting means triple Villa is a go!

  20. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    A Mings goal would be helpful.

    1. JBG
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      2 preferably

  21. Bartowski
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Too much last minute tinkering means Moreno is on my bench so expect a haul...

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Was back and forth on him this whole week, ended up playing him after looking at a few Villa fan opinions

      1. Bartowski
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah got swayed by Digne being in the predicted line up. Too much information isn't really a good thing, last week it was swapping in Zinch for Mbuemo last minute.

  22. Moxon
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Ederson
    TAA | Estupinan | Lindelof
    Salah | KDB | Rashford | Mitoma | March
    Haaland | Jota

    Thoughts on this FH team?

    1. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Beautiful.

    2. Sir Matt Bugsby
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Nice.. mind if I borrow it for my WC?

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

      Not too shabby.

    4. Moxon
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Cheers lads

      1. OptimusBlack
        • 13 Years

        What's ur full squad ?

    5. OptimusBlack
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Good team

    6. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

  23. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Just realised I have probably my lowest ever number of teams represented at any time in FPL in my current squad.

    3x City
    3x Brighton
    3x Villa
    2x ManUtd
    2x Newcastle
    1x Liverpool + 1x Arsenal (and that will change to 2x Liverpool after tomorrow)

      3 years, 2 months ago

      3x City
      3x Brighton

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

    Raya/Kepa lot... Keeping Raya (NFO @ H) rather than hitting for a DGW keeper?

    1. thegame983
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yes, play Raya

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

        That's what I plan anyway!

  25. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Maddison to punish me .

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      You still own him then?

    2. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Do you want him to say anything in particular while he does it? Because that's extra...

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Lol

  26. TheBiffas

      3 years, 2 months ago

      Maddison and Barnes play.

    Haaland with 190% EO in the top 10k

  28. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I might be the first where I MISSED the WC. Set the team yesterday and couldn't check today. But I'm pretty pleased with it though.

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

      Good boy for setting it early.

    2. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I'm also strangely quite pleased when I miss the toilet...

  29. GOTHAM City F.C.
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Did anyone captain Isak over Haaland?

  30. Salah_Fingers
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Can't afford Trent - thoughts on Chilwell and Martinelli to stones and grealish?

    Raya
    Shaw - Trip - Estu
    Salah - Mitoma - Mcalister - Rashford - Martinelli

    (Chilwell - Watkins - Chilwell - mee)
    Haaland -
