    Should have captained Isak

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      And I did!

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

        Time will tell

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          True, we'll see when the game updates if I'm right

      2. Sure You Did
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        And?

        1. Berkshire Hafaway-Line
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          He did

        2. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          You did, for sure!

    2. Tango74
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I capt haaland , oh well

  2. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Dont know what the worry is over capping Isak or Wilson. Both going to get plenty of mins v two poor defences

    1. Sure You Did
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Wilson has more points in less minutes. I own both and couldn't care less.

    2. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      And both double blank as Salah and Haaland share 40 points.

    3. Nazz
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Wilson to make 20 min appearance over two games

      1. GENERATION X
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        He doesnt need long to contribute usually

      2. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Scored more points than Isak in less time, trumps for Pens

    4. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Strong call

  3. Shultan
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Good luck to everyone that has captained Wilson & have same players as me! 🙂

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      So no luck for the my team then 😉

    2. Sun God Nika
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Got to enjoy the last couple weeks so went Wilson as well

      Can score off bench worst case

  4. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Quick survey, were you happy with your starting XI? Yes or No? 😛

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      No

    2. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Not really lol

    3. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Happier before March and Rash got nobbled, to be fair.

    4. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Not really with KDB hold and Stones blocking a straight move to Mahrez this week.

      Rashford too.

      Still, it's all the fun of the fair!

    5. Shultan
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      No I never am
      Played Raya over kepa.
      A few weeks ago played kepa over raya when kepa got 1 & raya 9!

    6. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      No. That's the worst team I've put out this season. Never been more sure of a red arrow.

      Ederson, Solanke, Rashford is about as nailed as you get for 5 points.

      Only 1 Brighton player (tbf I'm sick of Brighton).

    7. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      It's OK, biggest issue was Grealish v Rashford all week but I did feel confident Grealish would start so I suppose it should have helped. Punted on moving Stones to Porro and putting him first on bench so we'll see there, did Stones out to give me room to get KDB next week

  5. HD7
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Started Estup over Stones, Rashford over Grealish and Captained Isak over Wilson and Haaland

    Time will tell

  6. fantasist
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Even if one of Wilson or Isak don't start, they are likely to come off the bench and contribute. And then probably start against Brighton.

  7. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    People on twitter having a meltdown with no leaks and having to use their own brains for a change is fascinating to see.

    1. sunzip14
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Not on FFS?

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

      Haha

    3. Sun God Nika
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yep

    4. fantasist
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Lol. Only City fixtures have guaranteed team leaks

    5. Ron_Swanson
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Using a leak is using your brain

    6. Tango74
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I think better without leaks as you just said . As you haft yourself to blame

    7. Shultan
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I liked the fact didn't have leaks...otherwise would've got lot of last minute Wilson transfers & C

    8. Tango74
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Also now people have to decide who best captain is ,lots off differentials

  8. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I like no leaks

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Football for the purist

    2. ZimZalabim
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      no news is good news they say

    3. Shultan
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Me to!

    4. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      The issue is not using leakec information its stopping the leakers in the first place

    5. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      #NoSpoonfeeders

  9. Johnjo
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Was poised to get Wilson but due to lack of team news went for Joelinton in the end. Hope it wasn't the wrong decision.

  10. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Switching between dunk an rash last 10 minutes! Benched rash in case of a late cameo, just have to hope t hag wasn’t bluffing !

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Sounds like he’s out, don’t worry

  11. Holteenderinthesky
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Isak gets the Armband
    Andreas&Grealish>Madueke&Bruno for next week as well. Fed up of the Grealish will he play won't he play.

    This week's lineup.
    De Gea
    TAA, VVD, Estu
    KDB, Bruno, Mitoma, Madueke
    Haaland, Isak(C), Wilson

    Steele, Rashford, Moreno, Zouma

    Likely a city defender in next week

  12. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Leicester can’t defend ffs

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Salah (c)

    2. sunzip14
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I hope they can score one. Benched TAA and started Shaw 1 minute before deadline.

      1. PartyTime
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        You shouldn’t have benched Trent imo

      2. PartyTime
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        shaw playing cb. Good luck

        1. Mambino
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          he might not with Varane back

          1. PartyTime
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Trent is a good captain choice this gw. He smashed leicester on a boxing day at KPS, could do the same

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

        I'm sure they will score but benching a TAA in midfield against this Leicester team seems crazy

        1. Andy_Social
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          I'd've started Trent and Shaw. Found another SGW to bench, even a midfielder.

  13. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Playing Watkins, captaining Willock, and rolling a transfer despite having no Newcastle striker.
    Let's get battered then.

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Could pay off.
      Think Watkins scores

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Feels inevitable that Watkins and Toney score this week
      Interesting captain punt, good luck!

  14. Reece’s Pieces
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Win or Burn

    I just did a last minute Captain swap from Wilson to Salah.

    Relying on Wilson hasn’t gone well in the past

  15. Danno - Emre Canada
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Never would I have thought two Newcastle CFs would be the topic of conversation going into GW36 of FPL, crazy times!
    Watch Haaland score a 20%min hat-trick ha

    1. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Once upon a time it was Dennis or King for Watford.

      Remember that fruitful evening?

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Dunk and Duffy!

      1. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Sane & Mane

      2. FPL Brains
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        That was actually an exceptional double. Two clean sheets I think?

  16. ZimZalabim
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Any Mac10 captainers in the house ?

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Az has (or so he said yesterday)

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Nah not vs Arsenal and Newcastle

  17. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Whenever I actually get up and come here for leaky bum time, there's no material released

    1. Berkshire Hafaway-Line
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      You have jinxed us, Mr Imodium

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        It's true that I have an immodibum this morning. If I'd have been more regular, the flow of information would have been less glacial and we wouldn't be in this sticky mess

  18. fantasist
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Cue Haaland hauling and the casuals benefiting from captain pts

    1. Tango74
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I play every week for last 15 years , I’ve capt haaland

      1. fantasist
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        You're an outlier then!

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

      Doing nothing often works out best.

      1. fantasist
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        It's true

    3. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Quite likely as Godfrey isn't fit enough to pocket him second time round.

      1. fantasist
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Haha I remember that duel

  19. The Train Driver
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    It's time for Gandhi to get his a*s kicked..

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Turn the other cheek!

      1. Fitzy.
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        😆

  20. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Isak- get in!

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      ?

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      ?

    3. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Isak Hunt

  21. Ange Ball
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Salah is the the man to cap this week. Bottled it...

  22. Hazardous1221
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    On a scale of 1-10, how much of a moron am I for benching Trent and starting Shaw last minute?

    My reasoning was basically that I'm chasing someone who's 22 points ahead in my mini league and there's not much difference between our teams.

    1. TanN
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I was torn between trent and dalot I can't lie. I went with trent

    2. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Who knows? Dont know why people worry so much about something that has so much unpredictability.

  23. TanN
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Might live to regret not captaining Haaland, if he does start it may be a bloodbath!

    Happy with Isak though I think....

  24. Bobby Crush
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Steele
    TAA, Trippier, Dias
    KDB, Mitoma, MacA, Gakpo
    Haaland, Isak, Wilson(c)

    Reckon 85-90 points, if Captain strikes.

    1. Slitherene
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      More like 70 in reality

      1. Bobby Crush
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Maybe so. Hope for more.

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

      Who's on the bench if it's a KDB no show?

      1. Bobby Crush
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        A defender, Konate

  25. Twisted Saltergater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Thought the deadline was 11:30 and came on FFS looking for late team news lol

    Oh well, gone with the gut and Wilson(c) it is!

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      \0/

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Isak more of a SS role but let’s see what Howe does

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I went wilson as well but starting to regret it already! Fingers crossed he starts

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Everything crossed here!

    3. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      WIlson is a good goalscorer

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        same thought process. Has trolled me in the past tho

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          He is also a good non-scorer sometimes. Excuse my French, but c'est la vie

  26. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    With Kepa, Shaw and Grealish on my bench I can congratulate everyone that started them!

    1. Slitherene
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Good luck

    2. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks

      But it'll probably be 6 pts total.

    3. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      My bench would prolly outscore my Starting XI if Rashie hadn't helped out.

  27. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Confirmed, Isak not starting GW 39

    1. Slitherene
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Is that supposed to make people laugh?

      1. The Polymath
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Only those with a sense of humour

        1. Slitherene
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Glad I'm not one of you

        2. Make United Great Again
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Terrible banter

      2. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        WDYM, I’m picking myself up off the floor.

    2. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I challenge thee to supply a source for this outlandish assertion

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

      Season over

      1. Fitzy.
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Now, that's funny!

  28. Tcheco
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    If Everton can put 5 past Brighton then surely Arsenal can. Looking forward to Jesus & Saka hauls

    1. TanN

      1-0 Brighton incoming.

      Trossard to be sent off for scoring a last minute equaliser, he's on a YC then takes his top off and gets sent off. VAR Rules it offside anyway. Brighton 3 points

      I've left myself open to Haaland, Grealish and KDB this week by selling Stones. Don't think I'll have triple ManUtd so it's keep Shaw and Rashford if the latter is fit, if not then I can get Bruno if needed

    Anyone else get excited when the game updates and you can click 'Pick your team' in the FPL app and start planning who to captain and bench?

    I use other FPL apps but nothing beats the actual FPL app for picking your team haha

      That first time you do it is good, then the rest of the week is just overthinking it all
