    Any has training pictures for Liverpool? Has Jota trained as normal?

    1. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Nothing confirmed. Think he'll be fine though

    Repost, bottomed

    Anyone likes this FH? A bit risky since im not maximising on 11 doublers

    Steele
    TAA, Shaw, Trippier
    Salah, KDB, Grealish, Rashford, March
    Haaland, Isak

    Iversen, Coufal, 2x fodder
    0.0 itb

      Not exactly ‘risky’ is it. You’d call it playing more safe or cautious. Looks fine

    2. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Why Isak over Jota on FH?

      1. Union_Jacks
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Jota is gonna play 1

    3. Kryptonite666
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      with a FH, I'd have had 11 doublers

    4. bialk
      • 16 Years

      Grealish place is not secured. Foden is back.

  3. ididnt
    • 14 Years

    -8 to get Salah and Rashford Y/N…?

    1. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I would

    2. Oooo Matron
      • 9 Years

      Yep

  4. Cash'nBurn
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Which WC would you go for?

    A) Johnstone - STEELE
    A-A - Stones - Dalot - Trippier - TOTI
    Salah - DE BRUYNE - Rashford - Mitoma - March
    Haaland - Isak - WILSON 0.4itb

    or

    B) Johnstone - DE GEA
    A-A - Stones - Dalot - Trippier - ESTUPINAN
    Salah - GREALISH - Rashford - Mitoma - March
    Haaland - Isak - JOTA 1.5itb

    So, Steele - Toti - De Bruyne - Wilson
    or
    De Gea - Estupinan - Grealish - Jota

    1. balint84

    Quick one guys.

    1/ Watkins, Maddison, Saka to Salah, Rashford, Greenwood -8

    2/ Maddison & Saka to Salah & Periera -4?

    1. ididnt
      • 14 Years

      1. Live a little

      1. BrockLanders

        Lol. Periera is a terribly boring pick tbf. Ha

  6. Keane There Dunne That

        Thanks everyone, scared of the ownership but surely Isak starts!

  7. balint84
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    A) save Kane
    B) get Jota
    C) get Isak

    1. Oooo Matron
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Save Kane if you don't need to sell for Salah

      1. OptimusBlack
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        This

  8. Slitherene
    • 7 Years

    WC Active | 0.1 ITB

    Steele | Iversen
    TAA Akanji Dalot
    Salah KDB Rashford Mitoma March
    Haaland Jota
    ¦ Porro Toti/Bueno Greenwood

    Toti or Bueno, for the "just in case" option?

  9. Taarabts2Good4U
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Hi Tom!

    I hope you're well.

    My current team:
    Raya, (Kepa)
    Estupinan, Shaw, Tripper (Chilwell, Mee)
    Salah, Rashford, Grealish, Mitoma, Mac Allister
    Haaland, Isak (Watkins)

    1 FT, £0.5m ITB.

    Currently have eight double gameweek 34 players. Should I look to get Trent and/or Jota in for a hit? Do you have any transfer suggestions?

    Many thanks.

    1. Oooo Matron
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      -4 Watkins out to fund Chillwell to Trent

  10. Kryptonite666
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Guys at my wits end. Any suggestions for 1 FT, no money ITB

    Raya (Kepa)
    TAA Shaw Estu (Trips) (Botman)
    Salah Rashford March Grealish (Andreas)
    Haaland Watkins Jota

    1. Oooo Matron
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Watkins to Isak or Steele in for Kepa? Looks fine to me

    2. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Watkins to Isak?

      1. GC123
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        No brainer. Do it

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

      I'd lean Watkins > Isak.

    4. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Raya to Steele?

  11. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Chasing 60 points, capt Salah or KDB? He will capt Haaland and may own Salah. Definitely won't have KDB IMO

    1. balint84
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Kdb

    2. Oooo Matron
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Captain Salah then - KDB a big minutes risk I'd say

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I was thinking he'll play the next two and be benched for Leeds

    3. GC123
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Him not having KDB is your differential. I’d still Captain Haaland if I were you personally

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I don't think I can chase 60 without getting a haul captaincy this week tbh

        1. GC123
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Not in one week no but you can chip away at it. Having Haaland, KDB and Salah is a big plus. What you could end up doing is losing further ground by forcing it. I think Haaland gets more minutes and will outscore KDB. Your points from the three premiums (compared to his two) should see you make up some ground. Do either / both of you have TAA?

          1. Davido989
            • 15 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            Should have added, it's a FH this week so won't have KDB next week

            1. GC123
              • 4 Years
              2 years, 10 months ago

              Ah ok. Sorry, didn’t realise. KDB has a niggle. I brought him in on a WC last night but it is a gamble. It’s Pep. He could play Alvarez. Go with your gut but consider worst case scenario as well as the optimal outcome

              1. Davido989
                • 15 Years
                2 years, 10 months ago

                Thanks for the reply, food for thought!

                1. GC123
                  • 4 Years
                  2 years, 10 months ago

                  No worries and good luck this week buddy

  12. Oooo Matron
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Which combo is better (already have March & Estupinan)?

    A) Mitoma/Raya
    B) Tripper/Steele

    1. GC123
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      B

    Hi Tom I hope you doing well!
    Current squad:
    Steele raya
    Botman tripper shaw Gabriel Chilwell
    Grealish March Mitoma rashford fernandes
    Haaland Isak Watkins

    I have done the Kane to Isak move, currenlty thinking about -4 for salah and TAA for fernandes and chiwell (9DWG players) or -4 for diaz and TAA from chiwell and Gabriel (10 DWG) players ; what do you think, are there any other routes you can think of?Thanks! 1FT left with 5.8m at the bank

  14. OptimusBlack
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    is Akanji fit to play both 2 ?

  15. Gordon Cole
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Steele
    Akanji, TAA, Trippier
    Salah, Grealish, Andreas, Martinelli, Salah, March
    Haaland, Watkins

    a) Martinelli to Rashford and triple-captain Haaland
    b) Free hit

  16. Westfield Irons ⭐️
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Hi Tom (and all) I still have BB. I can put out a template 11 all doublers. Leaves me with Raya Henry Toney and Ings (don’t ask!) shall I BB these Brentford assets home to NFO?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Yes

  17. Espanyolie
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Got Mee to TAA lined up as my FT. Willing to take one hit but doubting between Watkins to Jota or Raya to Ederson.
    Priced out to do both and not willing to take a -8 anyway.
    Which has the higher up side?

    1. Oooo Matron
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Jota huge upside but not vital if its tricky to do

      1. Espanyolie
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Think he’ll play both? Specially this Sunday? Have a feeling he may not be risked.

        1. Davido989
          • 15 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Liverpool need to win all games, if fit he starts. Darwin just hasn't adapted yet

    2. Espanyolie
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Apologies. Mean Kepa to Ederson. Will keep Raya

  18. Wolfman180
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Ah man, I'm 0.1 off doing Ake, Kane, Martinelli to TAA, Jota and Rashford (-4)

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Damn

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Darwin instead?

      1. Wolfman180
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Not a fan of going to Darwin, not seen much to think he'll score big. He probably will now I've said that. I'm thinking either go for Isak instead orrr take a -8 and do Watkins to Isak to fund Jota.

  19. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Just woke up to the fact that doing Kane + Saka to Isak + Salah prev week instead of Chilwell to TAA cost me 14p. :O

    And I made the former moves only only due to potential price changes (that did not happen).

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      They'll make it up and return more this week. TAA could go huge if they keep CS

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I think the decision wasn't that bad the outcome of course was. If Salah gets double digits against West Ham and Kane blanks against United it would have been a good move ahead of the curve.

      1. BobbyDoesNotLook
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I was anyway going to do both moves in convective weeks but my preferred order would have been Chilly to TAA prev week so that is why I am punishing myself (for nothing) 😀 basic swings of FPL so nothing new really, positive swing was that Steele played and got pen save.

  20. Dotherightthing
    • 10 Years

    Play one pls
    A- Tippier SOU
    B- Zouma cri/mci

      A

    2. Davido989
      • 15 Years

      Tripper. Anything Zouma gets at Palace, will be deducted when City put 4 past West Ham.

  21. Sterling Malory
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    A) Salah / Akanji
    B) Bruno / TAA
    C) any other 18m combination?

    Steele
    Xxxx Shaw Estupinan
    Xxxx Rashford Grealish Mitoma Martinelli
    Haaland Jota

    1.Get and play jota and Grealish(11 dgw players)

    2. Get Greenwood and Kdb, play Kdb and Isak ( 10 dgw players)

    1. Mr Tin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      2 as Isak should be starting again

  25. TFP
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    sorry, a couple of questions.

    (i) which to keep from zouma and trip?
    (ii) which to bench from march, mitoma, isaak, grealish, and Jota?

    1. TFP
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      sorry on (i) I meant which to play rather than "keep".

      1. TFP
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        and on (ii) which ONE to bench.

  26. Pep's Money Laundry
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    My FH team, its pretty much template unfortunately. Any improvements that can be made?

    Ederson
    Trent Dalot Estupinan
    Salah KDB Rashford Mitoma March
    Haaland Jota

    Iverson Coufal Bueno Greenwood

    1. Zenith UK
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Can you have DDG instead of Ederson and Stones instead of Dalot?

      1. Pep's Money Laundry
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Unfortunately I can't, hence the bench. No money left at all

    2. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      It's good mate and it's like others I try to get some differentials check my replies

  27. For Fuchs Sake
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Shall I just keep Jota? I have Trippier coming in if he's not fit, so he could get DGW like points against a poor Southampton team

  28. FootballRookie
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Johnstone, Castagne, Watkins to....

    Steele, Stones, Isak?

    Worth the -8 ... On Bench Boost also this week

    1. Heavy Cream
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      100%

  29. Heavy Cream
    • 10 Years

    Thoughts on Stones?

  30. Boxwoods
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Which one?

    A. Save FH; play Steele, Trippier, Odegaard, and Martinelli
    B. Swap Odegaard for March (-4)
    C. Play FH and swap above for DDG, Estupinan, KDB, and March
