    Pick a player for next week:

    A. Son
    B. Bowen
    C. Morris dgw
    C. JWP
    D. Trippier

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years

      Bowen

    2. Big Mike
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Yep, Bowen

    3. Tcheco
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Messed up my alphabets there oops. Looks like Bowen is the favorite. Thinking either him or Morris for the double now

    4. Total Foot 5
      • 12 Years

      C

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

    Unsure whether this wildcard was successful or not;

    Notable removals;
    Walker - 11
    Burn - 12
    Onana - 7
    Watkins - 9

    Other removals;
    Chilwell, Martinelli, Luis Diaz, Rashford, Mubama

    Additions;
    Trippier - 15
    Cash - 6
    Salah - 7
    Diaby - 3
    Flekken - 2
    *Archer - 2
    Doku - 1 (don't blame him, stupid Rodri)
    Alvarez - 1
    *Gusto - -2

    *Benched

    Had Leno in when I said "pens down" someone replied Flekken v Everton, made the switch. Wanted to keep Watkins all week but a barrage of comments lead me to believe I was doing something wrong, yes it's my fault for listening but that's why we use these forums right, to bounce ideas.

    At least we recovered and gained a green arrow this week. So all is well and my team is set up nicely for next week;

    Areola
    Trippier, Estu, Cash
    Salah, Saka, Mbeumo, Doku, Diaby
    Haaland (c), Alvarez

    Flekken, Udogie, Archer, Gusto*

    1. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Unlucky mate. Luckily you dont wc for 1 week's gain...

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

        It's more that in my head I was telling myself to stick to my guns. I had 2 FTs. I could've easily done Martinelli, Rashford and Mubama to Maddison, JWP & Alvarez for a -4.

        Then I could've WC in GW9 and loaded up on NEW & LIV, you're right though, you don't WC for one week and I like my team. I can roll my FT this week irrespective of Gusto's red card and do Trippier > Burn and one of Doku, Diaby or Mbeumo > Maddison for GW8 for free.

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      WC is a used with multiple GWs in mind, not one. So don't worry unless you feel like you're set up poorly for future weeks

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

        Nah you're right nate, mate. Think I'm looking good.

        I was weighing up Trippier & Doku/Diaby/Mbeumo > Burn/Maddison for free in GW8 as I can roll this weeks FT. I did take a punt this week on Doku what with City's injuries and the fact they were playing NFO, but Rodri lost his marbles.

    3. Big Mike
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Look at long term fixtures, not game week to game week scores. OK, you may have lost out on points this week by selling players who scored well (like Watkins, Onana, Burn and Walker) but they may all blank in game week 7. Worse yet, they may not play at all. Wildcard transfers should be decided on a long - term basis, like 6-9 game weeks. Look at the fixtures and pick those players who you think will score more points kong term.

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

        I think Watkins will have a great season, just his price point plus Alvarez, plus Haaland, plus Salah just weakened the side a bit too much (I was actually going to go without Salah - but saw how low his EO was around my rank).

  3. Slitherene
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    The obvious move...

    Areola ¦ Pickford
    Chilwell* Saliba Botman
    Salah Saka Bruno Diaby
    Haaland Alvarez Morris
    | Nakamba Guehi Baldock

    Chilwell -> 2 x NEW defense?

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

      Makes complete sense to me. You got enough for Trippier or going straight to Burn?

  4. Ohh1454
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Chilwell priority out for me now. Looking at someone for two weeks and will WC GW8. Thoughts on Ream vs Chelsea and SHU at home for a two week punt ?

    1. MissouriMarten
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      If you're wild carding in 8 that's only one week, but if you mean in 9 the don't you fancy a Burnley or Luton defender for the chance of 3 games in that period?

  5. For Fuchs Sake
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    So tempted to hit the WC button, too many short term transfers made, so struggling with a solid plan ahead now.

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

      I've done it after 5 red arrows in a row

  6. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Sell 2/3 (one can be benched)
    Sterling Eze Wissa

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

      Sell them all

      1. Shark Team
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        I can bench Eze vs ManU but I believe one of Sterling(if he plays 9) or Wissa NFO(A) can return

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

          Wissa can't

    2. Bleh
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      In order of priority:

      Eze > Sterling > Wissa

      1. Shark Team
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Priority sell?

        1. Bleh
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Yep, would be looking to sell all.

    3. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      At least Eze has shots, so he is probably ur lower priority.

  7. Bleh
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Best option here? Bench looking thin.

    A. Henry > Burn
    B. Henry, Ederson > Trippier, Turner (-4)

    Areola
    Estu, Bostman, Udogie
    Salah, Odegaard, Maddison, Mbeumo, Mitoma

    Keep or sell Mitoma on a WC? Can't get to Trippier!

  10. Make FPL Casual Again
    • 7 Years

    Have a usually benched Antonio, very playable vs SHU....is he any good in the air ?

    1. Vazza
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Is he good in the air? Lol. This is going to be the subject for teams facing SHU.

      The answer to your question I’m not sure

    2. Make FPL Casual Again
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      According to the FPL site, he has scired 23 headers out if 63 goals, so yes is the answer

      1. Make FPL Casual Again
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Badly skewed one vs Liv though..

    1. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Post match Poste has already said that it wasnt serious and Mads and son were removed as a precaution

    2. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years

      Clear handball.

    3. WVA
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Surprised he didn't leave in a boot on crutches again

  11. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Cash, Trippier, Walker or Burn?

    Of course the pricier the def, the harder it will be to get Salah.

    1. Big Mike
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I'd say Cash, but only just. Trippier has a high ceiling but is a rotation risk now Newcastle have Livramento. Walker will share minutes with Stones when fit. Plus Burn doesn't carry the same attacking threat as Cash.

  12. Twisted Saltergater
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Chilwell + Sterling to Trippier + JWP is mighty tempting.

    But Chelsea have Fulham and Burnley next. How bad were they today?

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

      Fulham and Burnley are not easy games for this Chelsea side

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Think I need to see MOTD2 and some stats from the game. Wouldn't mind holding Sterling, but prefer Trippier to Botman.

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

          You have a lot of patience. Sterling is an infuriating player to own

          1. Twisted Saltergater
            • 16 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            I've transferred a lot of players out early in past seasons, so I guess I've learned some patience. Not to say impulsive transfers can't work, they definitely can.

            Jackson out might help Poch stumble on the right formation too.

  13. Fat Frank
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Chilwell to Trippier
    & Alvarez to Morris (-4)?

    Also own Haaland & Foden.
    Would likely buy Alvarez back in GW9

  14. Fantasy Football Friend!
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Chilwell to Tripper now with exact money?

    1. Fat Frank
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Definitely

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • 16 Years

      lucky you

    3. Big Mike

    Did Mubama to Morris without thinking much and now i can't get to Trippier.
    A - Chilwell, Mbeumo -> Trippier, Gordon (-8)

      And ruined mine

  18. Vazza
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Could anyone explain why Botman is considered better than Cash and Burn please?

    1. Big Mike
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Newcastle are likely to get more clean sheets than Villa. As for the advantage over Burn, it's fine margins. More managers own Botman, so you are less likely to lose rank if he hauls. However, owning Burn as a differential can reap rewards if he hauls. Botman is more of a safe bet whereas Burn is more of a gamble.

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Yea I'm not sure about Botman over Cash. Cash is ofc far more attacking, and I am not sure I want any defensive double up. They wont play blades every week.

  19. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Just logged on for the first time this afternoon to see if I’ve any Botman and Triplier points…

    WTF?!

      Show off

  20. Kante Touch This
    • 7 Years

    Is there a big fixture swing coming up? Debating whether to use the wildcard now or hold for a couple of weeks

  21. Yordan Letchkov
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Chilwell to Cash or Udogie? Both work fine as a Estu replacement in GWs 8 + 9.

  22. camaraderie
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Exact money for Mbeumo to Gordon & Rashford to Salah if I do it tonight. Good moves or hold?

    1. Vazza
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I don’t think it’s a clear cut decision and could easily backfire

    Want a Villa defender for their good fixtures, does Digne cover Cash well or is it “just get Cash”.

    Looking to save £ to get Salah in GW9 hence looking at Digne

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

      Digne does seem pretty nailed, Alex Moreno wasn't even in the squad today
      He is a troll though, classic YC today

      1. Danstoke82
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        I feel he has more assist threat than Cash. It’s just the fact that he’s a YC troll as you say. That 0.1 saving could be useful though

  25. Bank$y
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Newcastle Utd firing but Isak dropping. Do I move him on a free to Darwin? Darwin has more likely premier league minutes I feel. Isak is UCL first choice forward.

  26. Vazza
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Chilwell Ruben => Trippier Botman

    For free.

    I have exact money.

  27. have you seen cyan
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    I have Trippier already. Should I get Botman or Cash for Chilwell?

    Defence is:
    Trippier - Estupinan - Saliba - Chilwell - Udogie

  28. sirmorbach
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Got the exact money to do Mbeumo to JWP and Chilwell to Trippier for free. Do it today before price changes? Or Bowen and Botman better options anyway?

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      JWP and Trippier, for sure.

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I like the first once. But I wont recommend early moves.
