    Had a sleepless night regretting not doing my -4 to bring in Salah and Mahrez. Going to be a nervy game week this one. Good luck all

    1. *Reformed-Character*
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      You've got to be kidding me? A sleepless night due to fpl transfers?

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

        Shame him!

      2. JELLYFISH
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Oh yes. But I am confident I will sleep like a baby tonight after Wilson’s haul.

    2. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      The nightmare is over in a couple of weeks

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

      Also, you've pre- regretted something that you could have changed by 11 am?

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

        Bad head

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

    I actually prefer not knowing the leaks makes my earlier decisions worthwhile 🙂

    Too much #Spoonfeeding

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

      Agreed. Funny thing is people who look for leaks call other people spoon fed haha

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

      i agree

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

      Yup, makes things far better having to go your own way

    4. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      What about people who post loads of RMTs and A or B type questions?

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

    Waiting for Rockstar to say Isak needs a long toilet break, or something

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

      Jason Puncheon had that down to a 2 minute art form

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

        An vital skill to have 😀

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

      I'm glad they took that bit out of the reckoning.

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

    Wilson owners do not fret if he doesn’t start. We bought him knowing of his limited minutes. Let him do his thing

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

      I have both and couldn't care less. The worry and meltdowns over a game are ridiculous.

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

      Yup, 20 mins vs tired legs and all that

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

      Wilson cappers win then

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

        Likely if so

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

        But they didnt care less a minute ago?

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

        Before the game has started. And they have another game as well…

    2. Traction Engine Foot
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Ooh

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

      Didn't expect it but good stuff

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

      Murphy rested

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

    Both start

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

    Boooooom let’s go

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

    Murphy needs a rest

    W & I start

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

      @fpl_tactician dead

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

    Wilson starting makes Isak even more likely to start again next week in my brain, at least

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

      Good rest in between

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

        Hard to interpret your reply. Maybe you could do some of the work for me? 😀

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

      We should at least know who starts v Leicester next week from Thursday's fixture

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

        That's cool for some, but I'm WCing Newcastle out of my team now

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

          Interesting, don't fancy the Leicester fixture as one to target, or is it merely targeting a full team of doublers / GW38 punts?

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

            Exactly, the latter. I haven't made a draft yet, but I assume there's no space for Newc

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

              Good luck! I'd like to make a punt or two in GW38 myself but feels like I've made my bed with focusing on moving things around for KDB this week and then Salah back for Soton plus one punt, GW38 is always a bit crazy and huge gains to be made if you can get those punts right

  9. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Good news. Even though I didn't cap Wilson he is a differential and less bought because no leak.

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

      Same

  10. El Presidente
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I think it makes sense bc Big Sam said yesterday Leeds cannot afford to lose, so I'm expecting a very low block with lots of bodies behind the ball therefore playing both Isak and Wilson makes total sense.

    1. Eze Really?
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Big Sam won't get a say in it.

      1. El Presidente
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I think you're wrong

        1. Eze Really?
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          God for you. Opinions ae fine.

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

            If he has God on his side watch out

        2. Eze Really?
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          You might be right

    2. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Football has moved on since the days of big Sam.

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

        The printing press has moved on since the days of big Sam

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

    Who will score the most individual goals in GW36

    After last weeks strange results what other upsets predicted?

    1. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      McNeil another brace.

      Mitrovic essential

    2. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Willock

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

      Steele

    4. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Buonanotte

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

        Haaland in 30 minutes

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

    Damn, wished I had heard Wilson was confirmed starting earlier.

    Me and rivals teams are so similar, it he was 0.1m off Wilson.

      Thanks

      Looks good

    2. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Top Man! 🙂

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

      Would be classic FPL if Wilson + Isak blank and it's Almiron who gets all the returns!

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

        the script is written

    4. Eze Really?
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Probably the easiest Team prediction this season

    5. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Nice to see bench fodder Greenwood getting a start.

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

        He's getting a brace now.

    6. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Murphy was too much of a punt with Miggy pushing for starts

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

        I was so excited about Aaronson at the start of the season.

  14. Wirtzle Gummidge
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    At least Wilson isn't due another injury anytime soon.

  15. Ruinenlust
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Wilson starts

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

    Wilson, Isak both start

  17. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    OMG Greenwood

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

      Imagine the reaction when Mason plays

    2. Pariße
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Last on the bench, and double Newcastle defence. This has scenes written all over it.

    3. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Delighted! 😀
      He might actually autosub on for me this week

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

        Big Sam seems a fan

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

      Might actually need him from my bench if Haaland doesn't feature!

  18. DannyDrinkVodka
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Wilson(c) starts!

  19. Bartowski
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Did anyone else transfer out Haaland or was it just me?

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

      You & amateur managers

      1. Bartowski
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Someone's looking forward to the Championship I see...

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

      Just you . Triple captain next week.

      1. Bartowski
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I have FH to get him back next week.

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

          What about GW38?

          1. Bartowski
            • 15 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            What about it? Brentford away isn't the easiest fixture and considering they may well have two finals in the week after I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Alvarez starting, if they've already wrapped up the Prem.

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

              He might be going after Dixie Dean's record.

              1. Bartowski
                • 15 Years
                3 years, 1 month ago

                Yeah I'm sure that's the prevalent thought in Pep's head...

  20. Pariße
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Wilson and Isak both start but cappers forgot the early captain curse.

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

      Also the late captain though

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

      Late captain balances it out

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

      Captain blank this game due to Gandhi rule but you get a return next game

      1. DannyDrinkVodka
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        What is the Gandhi rule?

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

          Never back the early kick off

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

            Guess I've been missing something myself 🙁

          2. DannyDrinkVodka
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            I have fond memories of Wilson racking up points in the early kickoff while at Bournemouth

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

              Just cane across a stat, Newcastle’s best kick-off for ppg is 7.30 pm. The worst is 12.30 pm.

              1. The Mentaculus
                • 4 Years
                3 years, 1 month ago

                Does any team have a good ppg at 12.30?

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

                  Villa, Liverpool, Palace and Southampton

                  The stats are from 2013-14 onwards, from a minimum of five games played at that time.

                    • 4 Years
                    3 years, 1 month ago

                    Interesting, thanks

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

        Is Haaland the only exception to that rule?

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

          Yet to proove it, I know Agüero and Suarez were.

  21. Vinyl78LP
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    at 10:55 was 0.1 short of going March -> Guimares - went for Murphy instead. Oh well.

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

      Why not Willock?

      1. Vinyl78LP
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        ....already owned. 🙂

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

      Unlucky, plenty of time to go though, thought I read he's appeared in every game this season despite starting most on the bench so he'll surely come on and may start v Brighton

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

      No surprise there

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Hopefully no cameo from the bench if in the squad for folks that started him

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

      Apparently so

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

    Both start. Confirmed.

  23. Gazzpfc
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Ffs I didn’t captain Wilson as thought he would be benched.

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

      You were wrong

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

      If you have Isak too, captaining him makes most sense as Isak EO >100% and Wilson

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

        Isak my captain Wilson vc

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

          Yeah, that's a good place to be IMO

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

            Hope so mate I think over two games Isak gets more minutes

          2. Cruyff's Eleven
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member

            Rule #1 - never pick C and VC from same team or game

              Rule #100 - early kickoffs negate all other rules.

                I only captained Wilson for the Brighton game 😉

    Anyone who says with 100% confidence they know how that Leeds team lines up is lying.
    Good to see no Roca, an absolute liability and some of the worst distribution ever witnessed.

      But not good for Newcastle players owners

      Yeah I'm not that keen on Roca either. Thought Forshaw would start. Might see Kristensen CM

      Lovely. GW37 set up. 10 DGWs plus Salah. Rash as a spoiler though.

    Damn, went without Wilson then. Lots of hiding behind sofa even with Isak C.

      I stuck the band on Wilson and I'm not feeling positive about it.

        I would feel great in your pants, whether you like it or not.

        But you never know with 5 at back Big Sam team.
