GAMEWEEK 36 TRANSFER PLANS

When Solly March (£5.3m) pulled up with a hamstring issue after coming off the bench in Monday’s 5-1 defeat to Everton, the first player that came to mind as a possible replacement was his Brighton and Hove Albion teammate Alexis Mac Allister (£5.5m).

Having not owned the World Cup winner at any point this season, going into each Gameweek without him has been an uncomfortable ride due to his significant ownership around my rank and penalty-taking duties. With Brighton having two extra fixtures over most other teams in the league, making the sideways switch makes too much sense for me not to do it.

    1. Under my Cucurella
      • 10 Years

      A should say Watkins > Wilson

    2. jason_ni

  5. Big Col
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Which is better to facilitate March to Fernandes;

    A) Watkins to Ferguson

    B) Watkins to Enciso

    1. Vote Joke
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I’d say B but wouldn’t do either.

  6. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Here and b b c seem to suggest March is definitely out
    Fpl had a 75% flag

    Has he actually been ruled out?
    I done my transfers before realising so would need to a hit to get rid or just play Martial instead

  7. LeytonOrient
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Mahrez nailed for this GW?
    Too risky for the DGW with Grealish?

  8. theodosios
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Start AWB or Guehi?

  9. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Wilson and Isak overkill?

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      One for Capt Hindsight

    2. Drexl Spivey
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Both be playing over 90m, I should think.

  10. Ian Davis
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Free-Hit in GW37, so this would just be for this week:

    March to?:

    A) Joelinton
    B) MacA

    1. theodosios
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      A

    2. GreennRed

      B

    3. Starskyb
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      A with B on free hit

  11. Starskyb
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    So how injured is March? I watched the match and it looked pretty bad, but FPL have him as 75% chance of playing. Is he a definite sell?

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Still being assessed, no return date.

    1. Vote Joke

      Maybe. Brighton don’t have great fixtures.

      1. wowo

        • 5 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        think of Captain Mac10.
        ode is a good choice this week

    2. RealSocialDads

      I think if you have ode, hold

  18. wowo

    lose Kane to get Isak? already have Wilson.
    or roll transfers to prepare DGW37?

    1. Apollo Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      I did Kane & Saka to Salah & Isak two weeks ago, regretted losing Kane. Roll.

      1. wowo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        the thing is, I can FH 37 or Fh38, if I lose Kane for Isak, I can FH and get him back.
        will you FH 37 or 38? I already have nine DGWers

        1. RealSocialDads
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Can we see your team as of now?

              I'd probs roll 2FT to next week then FH38

                think of the same, which two DWgers will you get next week? £0M itb

  19. Apollo Sanchez

    Start Kepa over Steele?

    1. wowo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      steel for 2 games, more save points if not clean sheets

      1. Apollo Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Might be dropped though

        1. RealSocialDads
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Is there substance to this or is it just because he had a bad game?

          1. wowo
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            2 years, 9 months ago

            I think the same, Steel wasn't too bad individually. it was poor team performance. Steel suits the coach tactics more.

    2. hazza44
      • 13 Years

      Im considering it

  20. RealSocialDads

    A) Mac A

    B) Rashford

    1. wowo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      A sure because two games

    2. King Sheep
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Have both, flip a coin.

  22. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Nobody considers Rash or Bruno captain as they are great at home, must win and Lopetegui said that he will give chance to those who had not playet too much?

    1. wowo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      their recent form not so good, or better differential captain this week like Tripper, Mitoma or Mac 10.

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        But why people ignore that they played 4 of last 5 matches away?

        United are so much better at home. And we know what happened with Wolves' last away game.

        Btw, surely Brighton player can't be conisdered for C with those fixtures.

        1. wowo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          ManU home form is good , but they don't score big as ManC, Liv, Ars, New, Captain a New player is the safest, if you go for differential captain, I would consider Briton player. they won't keep cleansheet, but they would score

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Since when was Bruno a captain option?

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Even owning him doesn't make sense given his price.

        1. Dušan Citizen
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          Why?

          His numbers are great and he also passes the eye test. He's been really unlucky only and it's matter of time when those numbers will transform into points. He loves dgw too (talking about getting him for later).

          1. Royal5
            • 14 Years
            2 years, 9 months ago

            1 goal in 14 games does not impress me 😆

            1. Indpush
              • 8 Years
              2 years, 9 months ago

              Hahaha

    3. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Bruno hasn't been great home or away recently. Rashford a better option but not when Brighton and Newcastle have a DGW.

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 9 months ago

        Numbers are there, he just needs more luck.

        Many rivals around me has got him and I think of getting him too for Mahrez.

        1. GreennRed
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 9 months ago

          He needs to be more of a team player, stop whinging, more than luck.

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

      Bruno really not worth it, like at all

  23. hazza44
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Hey guys,
    Which option is best for my current team? 0 free 1.7mil

    Kepa (Steele)
    Trip Diaz Shaw (Mings Gabriel)
    Salah Mitoma Rashford Grealish (March)
    Haaland Jota Isak

    A) Roll team (play Jota)
    B) March to Mac/Odegaard/Willock (bench Jota) -4
    C) Jota to Wilson (bench March) -4
    D) Other option?

    Cheers guys

    1. wowo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      B Mac10 , also I 'd play Jota and bench Grealish to prevent a Cameo of him.

  24. Skout

  25. the dom 1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    A Estupian

    B. White.

    Don’t think BHA will keep CS in either game right?

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 9 months ago

      Agree. Could get an attacking return though.

    2. King Sheep

      A

    3. Inferno
      • 15 Years

      I don't think either keep a CS and Estupinan only has 1 assist since since gw23. Thinking about starting Shaw ahead of him.

  26. Inferno
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 9 months ago

    Best move(s)?

    Salah March Mitoma Mahrez Foden
    Haaland Isak

    Guys my front three is…
    Haaland / Alvarez / Wilson

    I plan to get Isak but for who ?
    Just for this GW I’m more worried about not having Alvarez than Haaland.

    I think I’ll be doing Haaland ➡️ Isak then reverse it next GW…
