    Anyone else already hit the WC button?

    1. GoonerSteve
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I'm well close. Who would you have?

      1. Kodap
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Think for me at the moment there's 6 players I want shut of, 7 if Maddison is out.. Foden, March/Mitoma, Ederson.. loads

        1. GoonerSteve
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah, I've been thinking of playing it early anyway, and I made the stupid mistake of selling Foden for Maddison to catch the price rise, pre matches, which may need reversing. Either way, I want Foden back.

          If Man Utd didn't have NFO I'd already have done it I think. Just not sure who to lose out of Rashford and Salah.

          Like Ederson also, or maybe Onana. Fancy a rejig of my bench also. Alvarez/Wissa for Pedro.

      Nah a -4 will do me this week.

      1. Kodap
        3 years, 1 month ago

        what's the -4 you're taking?

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

          Pedro, Watkins & Gabriel to Wissa, Alvarez & udogie/botman/ankanji

    3. Sun God Nika

      Will do at 90+20 minutes FT

      Have decided to now for sure, gonna be fun this week tinkering

    6. Deulofail
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, on Thursday

      1. Kodap
        3 years, 1 month ago

        hahah love it, who have you brought in as top priority?

        1. Deulofail
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Jota, Diaz, Haaland, Chilwell, Areola, Turner, Saka would have been the ones nailed in my team. That was before the deadline though of course

    7. Gandalf

      Resisting the urge as know will regret it. Been an unlucky start to the season for me.

  2. Nightcrawler
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Nketiah actually does well when given a run of games.

    Nott good enough to be first choice (which he isn't) but a decent enough back up to Jesus.

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 1 month ago

      So, give him 10 chances and he will get one?

    2. a wat di rass
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I think he's looked decent, unlucky to hit the post but did well to get in that position

      1. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        3 years, 1 month ago

        What about the sitter before and after that?

    3. Deulofail
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Completely agree

  3. The Suspended One

    Ode and Eze are killing me…

    Well Mbuemo is killing me, but they are letting him

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Oooh there he is

  4. rivo4england
    3 years, 1 month ago

    So I've got James, Baldock, Gabriel, Pedro, Pickford, so looking like I need an early wildcard. If I activate it, it wipes away the minus 4 I've already taken, right?

    1. a wat di rass
      3 years, 1 month ago

      yes

    2. yousunkmybattleship
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Sure

    3. Mighty Banana
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Correct, all hits for this GW are gone.

      1. rivo4england
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks folks. Forgot to mention, I have Chukwuemeka as well. Really didn't want to WC, but looks unavoidable.

  5. Steve The Spud

    Can’t stand another week with Bruno and odegard in my team

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Get to Salah in 2 moves..

    2. Royal5
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Foden

    3. Simon69
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Sell both at halftime imo

    4. GAMBIT
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I suppose if you had to choose between the two it may be worth keeping Bruno of NFO and home

  6. -GK22-
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Best Gabriel replacement, already have

    Chilwell, Estup, shaw, Baldock

    £7.4m itb

    1. Mighty Banana
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Henry.

    2. TBL
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Saliba?

      1. Bluetiger1
        3 years, 1 month ago

        agree

    3. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I’m choosing between Henry and Udogie

    4. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Romero

    5. g40steve
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Saliba, Akanji

    6. have you seen cyan
      3 years, 1 month ago

      so many options honestly. I like the Romero shout. You could even look at Aurier.

  7. theshazly
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Walker or Gevardiol ?

    1. a wat di rass
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Gvard

      1. Sun God Nika
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Guranteed to be regular starter though ?

        1. a wat di rass
          3 years, 1 month ago

          If he's this 'generational talent' that everyone's been banging on about then yeah.

          You know what you're pretty much getting with Walker, defensive points. So go with the unknown who's likely to be in with Stones injured, might pop up with a header from a corner

  8. TBL
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Sell Odegaard or Pickford

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        3 years, 1 month ago

        So both?

        1. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Yes

          1. FOO FIGHTER
            3 years, 1 month ago

            🙂

    2. threeputt
      3 years, 1 month ago

      odegaard, just stick Pickford on the bench as sub fodder if you can

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

    Anything done by Havertz?

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Literally hasn’t touched it

      1. threeputt
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Literally ?

        1. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Literally

    2. BUZZBOMB ♡
      3 years, 1 month ago

      In between the usual wrongs he's been fairly anonymous

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

      Wondering he's slowing down ARS pace on transition

  10. theshazly
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Gevardiol or Walker ?
    And why ?

    1. TheSteel
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Walker
      Attacking threat

      1. x.jim.x
        3 years, 1 month ago

        He’s scored 3 league goals since signing for City

        1. theshazly
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Exactly, he doesn’t threaten at all

  11. Ginkapo FPL
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Deulo, tell me Trossard is a good pock. Lie if you have to

    1. Simon69
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Pocky wocky

    2. Deulofail
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Probably Arsenal's best goalscorer along with Smith Rowe. Any minute on the pitch could be worth triple of any other player 🙂

      1. Maeki2
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Agree esm and tross scores when they get on but Arteta seems to hate em

        1. Deulofail
          3 years, 1 month ago

          No he doesn't

      2. Ginkapo FPL
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Thats the spirit

  12. GAMBIT
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Eze is such an exciting player to watch

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 1 month ago

      He fell down…

      1. Simon69
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Exciting people fall down all the time

        1. Lallana_
          3 years, 1 month ago

          See it at the pub all the time

        2. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          3 years, 1 month ago

          They are more exciting when they don’t

    2. g40steve
      3 years, 1 month ago

      He’s falling all over shop needs a rest

  13. Tonyawesome69
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Does Havertz playing the left 8 have a negative impact on both Martinelli, hugging touchline and less space in the middle to run into, and Ode role as the right 8?

    1. Digital-Real
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Havertz is a pointless footballer.

    2. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 1 month ago

      They are attacking exclusively up the right.

      1. Tonyawesome69
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Makes sense when inverting Partey on the right and adding an extra player in attack. They have switched it a few times to Martinelli. Tomiyasu at LB hasn't helped with his slow passes though

        1. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Agree, just saying he isn’t slowing down the attack because he’s not part of it

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

      This is the Ødegaard narrative but yet again he's 4th most forward, almost with Saka on the average pitch position.

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

      I was thinking this, he's changing ARS dynamics on attack. Much slower to be precise.

      1. Tonyawesome69
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah more control and less intensity

  14. Thanos
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Eze poor finishing,

    Very likely gets the boot from my team. Which one do you prefer?

    1. Mbeumo
    2. Foden

    1. Lallana_
      3 years, 1 month ago

      1.

      Foden a potential future problem for you too.

      1. g40steve
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Fodens probably their most creative player & KDB is out till Jan

    2. Maeki2
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 1 month ago

      1

    3. Bluetiger1
      3 years, 1 month ago

      1

  15. SHOOTER MCGINN
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Gabriel situation is really annoying. Nothing would've indicated this without one dubious leak.

    A) play Gabriel hope for the best
    B) play Pedro (do think he'll start)
    C) -4 for Jackson
    D) Play Henry

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

      B or D

      1. SHOOTER MCGINN
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Leaning towards B. Squad is good enough not to take a hit I think

  16. Lallana_
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Woys Boys putting up a good fight.

    1. Simon69
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Ain't no whipping boys that's for sure

    2. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 1 month ago

      That first half suits them. Arsenal will predictably get caught pushing for the winner

      1. Lallana_
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Martinelli and Saka not involved enough for me.

        1. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          3 years, 1 month ago

          That’s why I think it suits palace. Arsenal needs more space, but it’s about to get more congested.

          They need to bring Leo in wide and put Martinelli up top

    3. SHOOTER MCGINN
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe I should've played Johnstone after all

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

        Yeah same here but with Martinelli and Saka in the team, just could not do it ...

  17. TheSteel
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Eddie Misnetia

  18. BobbyV
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Saka and Martinelli hugging the touchline. Thanks Arteta!

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 1 month ago

      You are watching this weeks match, correct? Martinelli been everywhere but out wide.

      1. Lallana_
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Came centrally a few times but doesn't get ahead of Nketiah so he's more like a central attacking mid.

      2. BobbyV
        3 years, 1 month ago

        He's just been the free man I think...seen lots of the ball as a result.

        1. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah, definitely not “hugging the touchline”

    2. Lallana_
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Got to spread the pitch but when your best players are doing that and all the chances go centrally to Nketiah, it's not worth it.

    3. F4L
      3 years, 1 month ago

      all to accommodate Havertz and Nketiah...

  19. Connor's Calling
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Gabriel ->

    a) Man C def - i) Akanji or Gvardiol

    b) Saliba

    1. MIGHTY JOE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B

      1. Connor's Calling

        Ta

    2. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Romero

  20. F4L
    3 years, 1 month ago

    only way we get a title race this season is if Richy starts banging them in

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      3 years, 1 month ago

      So no title race then

    2. have you seen cyan
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Richarlison? xD

      1. F4L
        3 years, 1 month ago

        yeah, chicken dances all season

    3. Lallana_
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Need Son to replicate his god season, Richy to actually get 15 goals & the defence to be good? All those things happening together? Unlikely.

      1. have you seen cyan
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Spurs could maybe score the most goals this season. But its gonna be how much they concede is the issue. They will get away with it vs weaker or middle teams, but good teams are not going to play into their hands.

      2. F4L
        3 years, 1 month ago

        maybe a season too early but think Postecoglou is building something there

        just been massively impressed by the composure of their players on the ball, udogie bissouma maddison 3 of the best performers in the league to start the season, like you say their attack needs to improve for anything special this season

  21. Randaxus
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I think Newcastle are going to finish 2nd.

    1. villa_til_i_die
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I think you could be right!

    2. Lallana_
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I hope so as a Liverpool fan. Want to see Brighton & Newcastle get top 4 to make the league interesting. Obviously Liverpool too.

      1. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I'd REALLY like Brighton to win the league - wouldn't that be something!?

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Champions league and 2 games a week will catchup with them

      Don’t have the squad to cope

      1. Lallana_
        3 years, 1 month ago

        They made great depth signings in defence, can rotate Isak & Wilson, Barnes looks lively, Tonali has adjusted well. They're just getting started.

        1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Wilson is injury prone, when he eventually gets injured they are light in that area

          Tonali and Barnes are good additions but they need more depth in defence. Prospect of the likes of dummet coming in is scary, they got lucky with injuries defensively last season , more games this season so unlikely to be the case this time round

          1. x.jim.x
            3 years, 1 month ago

            They signed Hall and Livramento, and are in for a new RCB (linked with Andersen)

        2. Nightcrawler
          3 years, 1 month ago

          U compare their front 3 to arsenal or city and it's just no competition

      2. g40steve
        3 years, 1 month ago

        They will get injuries & exhaustion

      3. x.jim.x
        3 years, 1 month ago

        They won’t get far enough in the CL for it to become an issue.

    4. Nightcrawler
      3 years, 1 month ago

      With no really proven top class player in their front 3?

      1. x.jim.x
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Isak is arguably the second best striker in the league

        1. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          3 years, 1 month ago

          … Said no one ever….

          1. x.jim.x
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Who is better?

            1. Nightcrawler
              3 years, 1 month ago

              I could name 2 better at city alone. Albeit peo likes to play one of them behind the striker

              Jesus another one

              1. x.jim.x
                3 years, 1 month ago

                Alvarez will be better than Isak but he isn’t right now, especially as an out-and-out 9. Haaland is the obviously the reason why I said “second best.” Jesus is not better than him.

                Next!

                1. Nightcrawler
                  3 years, 1 month ago

                  Nothing to suggest Isaak is better than Jesus. Jesus is not a great finisher but a very good player overall.

                  1. Nightcrawler
                    3 years, 1 month ago

                    If you're just basing it on last season where Isaak has a very small sample size anyway I could throw in toney too but I'd still take Isaak over him

                  2. x.jim.x
                    3 years, 1 month ago

                    Isak had 1 less goal than Jesus in 500 fewer minutes last season in a worse team.

                    1. Nightcrawler
                      3 years, 1 month ago

                      Simply picking numbers doesn't tell whole story but if you go that route Isaak scored 6 goals the season before in a team that finished 6th in la Liga

                      Also probably inferior to Ivan toney too who plays for a worse team just basing it on numbers

                      1. x.jim.x
                        3 years, 1 month ago

                        Toney is currently suspended and a huge amount of his goal tally is made up of pens.

                        He is the reason why I said “arguably”

                        Wilson also better than toney no based on last year's numbers. He clearly isn't but just shows how silly the number argument is

              He’s the second best striker on his team…

              Are you talking fantasy position or actual strikers?

              Salah/Jota, Mitrovic, Jesus, Rashford

                3 years, 1 month ago

                Real life.

                Rashford. Salah and Jota aren’t strikers, Mitrovic isn’t in the league anymore, he’s better than Jesus (and Wilson)

                1. Nightcrawler
                  3 years, 1 month ago

                  If you're talking about real life than Jesus vs Isaak really is a no brainer don't be ridiculous. Jesus is a level above. Maybe two

                    Can't be serious 😆

                    3 years, 1 month ago

                    Yeah it is a no-brainer - Isak is clear as evidenced by his numbers last year

                    1. Nightcrawler
                      3 years, 1 month ago

                      Wilson better than Isaak then based on last season?

      2. Randaxus
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I personally think Isak is really good.

        1. Nightcrawler
          3 years, 1 month ago

          He looks to be but very small sample size. He had one very good season in Spain but managed 6 goals in 30+ appearances in his final season. Certainly not on the level of ars or city first choice strikers yet

    5. have you seen cyan
      3 years, 1 month ago

      yea, second is achievable for them. The rest of the contenders for 2nd place all have apparent issues, but it is very early to say.

    6. Bluetiger1
      3 years, 1 month ago

      nice but no

      Still have Champions League to deal with & squad rotation

  22. El Presidente
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Odegaard was such a bad pick.... he's playing away from all the action just strolling in midfield spraying sideways and backwards...

    1. Free Hat
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Dont think his positioning is much worse then Saka,Martinelli. With pressing ge is almost one of the highest.
      Crystal just very impressive defending imo,almost no space or time on the ball.

    2. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      If that chance went down, you would be singing a different tune

    3. Cruyff's Eleven

      Nearly banged one top bins.

      Playing Palace remember.

  23. x.jim.x
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Pep doesn’t use inverted fullbacks anymore, Arteta - catch up ya TERF weirdo

    1. KanuLenoMeeMoCash
      3 years, 1 month ago

      He tried it, got the others onto it, then ditched it
      convinced everyone you dont need a 9 before buying haaland too lol
      They're all playing catch up with him

      1. x.jim.x
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Reminds me of everyone trying to do 3-4-3 with some embarrassing results after Conte won the league

      2. Bluetiger1
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Is Pep looking to have two upfront now
        all other systems over the past couple of years
        team copy but still don't do enough or make City

  24. Free Hat
    3 years, 1 month ago

    0-0.
    Not a very good outcome owning Gabriel and 2 attackers
    ,and expecting a Saliba/Johnstone score...

    1. SouthCoastSaint
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Ode, Saka, eze owner here.

      All rivals with Saliba so expected this!

      Saliba is class

  25. MIGHTY JOE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Gabriel/Pedro -> Tomiyasu/Wissa for -4?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      3 years, 1 month ago

      There are better 4.5m defenders than Tomiyasu

      1. MIGHTY JOE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        3 years, 1 month ago

        It is. But I do want some arsenal-cover.

        Anyways, you’d approve -4 to another 4.5? 😀

    2. g40steve
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Can you get to Saliba?

      1. MIGHTY JOE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Would give me problems in the front with a 5.9 striker or below starting :/

  26. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Best move here?

    A) James/Pedro -> Gusto/Jackson
    B) James/Pedro -> 4.5/Alvarez
    C) James/Gabriel -> Gusto/Tripps (bench Tripps this week)

    Onana
    Chilwell, Estupinan, James*
    Saka, Ode, Bruno, Rash, Foden
    Haaland, Pedro*

    Turner, Gabriel*, Usola, Baldock
    Bank 0.0m, 2FTs

    1. Tinmen
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I’m thinking A

      What about Colwill as an option ?

      1. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah he’s not a bad shout of the 4.5s. Guess it depends whether I go for Alvarez or Jackson as Gusto enables the latter. Gabriel problem is annoying. He needs to go asap.

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

      B with Henry?

      If you don't mind a Gabriel price drop.

    3. Bluetiger1
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B with 4.5 defender choice between

      1. Botman (Newcastle)
      2. Pinnock (Brentford)
      3. Digne (Aston Villa)
      4. Romero (Tottenham Hotspurs)

  27. g40steve
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Gabriel 28.1% owned two benchings, what are owners doing?

    1. x.jim.x
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Selling for Gvardiol

    2. Lallana_
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Selling for Henry

    3. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Replace with Romero

    4. Bluetiger1
      3 years, 1 month ago

      sold

  28. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Which of these would you do fellas? 2FT

    A. Odegard > mbuemo
    B. Bruno > mbeumo
    C. Pedro > wissa
    D. Odegard/Bruno and Pedro > Alvarez and mbeumo

    1. g40steve
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I did Rashford to Mbeumo if that helps his numbers are terrible central

    2. Maeki2
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A. Since b and c is on pens

  29. Nightcrawler
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Sold Saka for Diaz and fairly comfortable so far. Always a danger of peno though or a stunner like last week (not sustainable)

    But with arteta kidding around with havertz 8 and partey right back could even get away with Fulham at home

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Saka for Diaz huh?

      If that comes off, it’s the call of the month for sure..

      1. Bluetiger1
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Keep Saka - if any sell Salah (of course if owned) & get Luis Diaz

  30. Cruyff's Eleven
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Problem with WC now is I'm basing my choices on 2GWs which is a very small sample size.
