    I'm 4M OR despite my best efforts - my WC is Haaland - less.

    Areola - Leno
    Trippier - Cash - Andersen - Burn - Tarkowski
    Salah - Bowen - Saka - Maddison - Son
    Alvarez - Watkins - Morris

    Thoughts?

      Bold to go without Haaland. Could pay off with Salah and Son. Makes it more interesting to go away from the cookie cutter template.

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      3 years, 24 days ago

      I would rather go without Salah than Haaland

    3. Fortune
      3 years, 24 days ago

      I'd rather go with playing bench fodder than spreading the funds.

      Make it easier if you ever decide to welcome haaland back.

        Agree, but not much to play with beyond Morris to Archer. There's no 4.4 playing DEF I think.

        1. Fortune
          3 years, 24 days ago

          Yes, archer is the cheapest playing forward.

          But we have 4.0 defenders,
          The luton and burnley ones.

          Just pick 3 strong defs you play week in week out.

    I have gone from rank 1 million 2 weeks ago to 138K, this season has crazy swings.

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)

      I've done the opposite.

    Is Odegaard > Son the wrong move this week after Ode’s 17 pointer? Was all set on it until today’s game/injuries.

    Areola
    Estu, Udogie, Burn
    Salah, Odegaard, Maddison, Mbeumo, Mitoma
    Haaland, Alvarez

    (Ederson, Semenyo, Botman*, Gusto*)

    1. Ravanelli85
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Tottenham got Luton at home and Son is in great form so not a bad move. I'd get Saka as well though.

      1. GoonerSteve
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Away

        1. Ravanelli85
          3 years, 24 days ago

          ah yeah, away, sorry

      2. Bleh
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Thanks, yeah hoping Ederson > Turner should fund some decent upgrades later.

  4. Cilliant
    3 years, 24 days ago

    Wanted to do Rashford -> Diaz to avoid the price drop until I saw Diaz is on -100% as well...

    What should I do here?

    1. nerd_is_the_werd
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Trust your gut.
      If you think Diaz will improve your team and bring in points, you bring him in.

      1. Cilliant
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Cheers mate. I've not watched Diaz diligently but I've had enough of Rash

  5. GoonerSteve
    3 years, 24 days ago

    Gtg? Hopefully no subs needed!

    Leno
    Cash, Udog, Burn
    Salah, Son, Saka, Maddison, Diaby
    Haaland, Alvarez

    0.3itb. Ofts.

    1. Bleh

      GTG. That is some crazy team value, 1.3 more than mine!

  6. Bezz82
    3 years, 24 days ago

    What’s the best 3.9m defender? So I can get Son in for next week and Capt

    1. Ravanelli85
      3 years, 24 days ago

      not many great ones for that price. Just use the fpl price limit thing and see who's playing regularly and at least picking up 2 points each week and the odd clean sheet

    Would you wc this team? 1 ft, 1m itb

    Haaland Alvarez

    1. Royal5

      Depends on how many you would switch. Personally I’d flush at least 7

    2. RICICLE

      Yup

    3. fedolefan
      3 years, 24 days ago

    Hit the WC? Son, Watkins, Salah, Trippier all rising tonight.

    1 FT, 3.8m ITB

    Sanchez / Turner
    Saliba* / Estupinan / Botman* / Kabore / Beyer
    Rashford / Fernandes / Saka* / Maddison* / Foden
    Haaland / Morris / Osula*

    1. Miami Monkey
      3 years, 24 days ago

      I don't feel like I absolutely NEED to, but this happens to me every year where my team is in ok shape, not super template, doing well, but then I get behind on price rises and can't afford the team I want later on.

      1. Swanniie
        3 years, 24 days ago

        I've just done it. Feels right.

        Think this week will be crazy with prices and if you want Salah in the future funds will be tight.

        1. Deer-in-headlights
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          3 years, 24 days ago

          Price changes are such an annoyance. Really detracts from the enjoyment of the game, at least for me.

          1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
            3 years, 24 days ago

            It becomes a game within a game. You have to constantly assess where the value is, factor in rises/drops. When to go early where there is a chance to make a profit.

            I had to go early this gameweek with a -8
            Cash - Salah - Son IN knowing all three will rise in price and I would only have .1 itb.

            The price changes seem very volatile this year, so waiting until the end of the week means a lot of value is lost, if you have too many dropping.

            It is a balance act finding the sweet spot between taking -4's, getting the form players, getting the value players, and the players who will likely rise based on the good fixtures.

  10. Jafooli
    3 years, 24 days ago

    Just raged WC’d because of injuries, Trashford & Eze, fixtures swing and have gone Salahless:

    Areola - Turner
    Trippier - Udogie - Cash - Andersen - Lascelles (3.9m)
    Son - Saka - Maddison - Bowen - Douglas Luiz
    Haaland - Watkins - Alvarez

    Thoughts, any suggestions?

    Watkins might become Darwin at some stage

    1. Jafooli
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Out went:

      Saliba
      Estupinan
      Botman*
      Gusto*
      Salah
      Rashford
      Eze
      Sarr
      Morris

    2. RICICLE
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Haven’t you literally just chose all the players that did well today?

      Salah is simply a must have on a WC imo.

      I WC’d this GW and thankfully did really well, and definitely had to include Salah.

      1. Jafooli
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Yes, that’s the point of a rage WC 😉

        1. RICICLE
          3 years, 24 days ago

          But you do realise you ain’t getting those points from today?

          1. Jafooli
            3 years, 24 days ago

            Lol, really?

            1. Letsgo!
              3 years, 24 days ago

              Saka is injured again just fyi

              1. Jafooli
                3 years, 24 days ago

                Yeah, might switch to Odegaard if no update before next GW

            2. RICICLE
              3 years, 24 days ago

              Yeah, so why just build a team of the players that have done well this GW?

              1. Jafooli
                3 years, 24 days ago

                You’re right, should have kept Rashford, Eze, Botman, Gusto, Estupinan, Morris & Sarr and gone without Son & Maddison vs Luton, and other form players.

                Will reverse all transfers 😉

                1. RICICLE
                  3 years, 24 days ago

                  But why would you do that, or keep those players when they obviously have to be removed?

                  1. Jafooli
                    3 years, 24 days ago

                    Too late, just changed team back to original players on your advise - can’t make anymore transfers, game won’t allow.

                    1. RICICLE
                      3 years, 24 days ago

                      Really not getting what I’m putting down are you lol

                  3 years, 24 days ago

                  For real your whole squad is last week's points

                  1. Jafooli
                    3 years, 24 days ago

                    Not anymore, just reversed all transfers

                    1. fedolefan
                      3 years, 24 days ago

                      Can you free hit to reverse the reversed transfers?

                  2. RICICLE
                    3 years, 24 days ago

                    I don’t think he gets it lol

                    1. Transient Anus
                      3 years, 24 days ago

                      There's two viable tactics see. Chase last week's points or just give up

                      1. Jafooli
                        3 years, 24 days ago

                        Exactly, normally give up in GW1, so already doing way better than previous seasons…

                      2. Transient Anus
                        3 years, 24 days ago

                        Do you always deal with criticism like a 12 year old?

    3. Nightf0x
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Im also thinking of going salahless

      1. RICICLE
        3 years, 24 days ago

        If Salah would killed it today, he’s be in the team by the looks of it

      2. Jafooli
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Can’t have ‘em all and had a decent return from Salah so far, but cost not warranting missing out on form players, that’s my take on it anyhow’s….not sure everyone agrees 😀

    4. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      3 years, 24 days ago

      To be completely honest I was surprised I read Salahless and not Haalandless. I think dumping Haaland until gw14 is the way to go if you want to try and make big gains on the field.

    5. Hotdogs for Tea
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Think I would squeeze Neto in for DL, and JWP instead of Bowen to upgrade Lascelles

  11. Letsgo!
    3 years, 24 days ago

    Patient really work. Thanks to watkins. Ranking up from 2.6mil to 800k now.
    However disappointed with haaland…

  12. Jafooli
    3 years, 24 days ago

    We’re Wolves excellent or Man City awful? How did that result happen?

  13. FPL Virgin

    Scout set piece takers tab has really let everyone down.

    Why didn't Saka take those 2 penalties?

    1. Jafooli
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Tired/injured legs…

    2. The Philosopher
      3 years, 24 days ago

      It hasn't let me down cause I didn't look at those tabs.

        United have actually done well defensively. It is the rest of their side that is the problem.

      3 years, 24 days ago

      tough one, i was really impressed by Porro today, but not sure he has the chops to stop the mighty Morris 😆 , but he can still get attacking returns, so i'd lean towards taking the hit as he's a good long term buy anyway

    How reliable is Gabriel as a starter? I want an ARS def and he is all I can afford...

    1. lugs
      3 years, 24 days ago

      he should be safe until Partey is back, even then he should be safe as Arteta would be mad to go back to that Partey rb, White cb experiment, it didn't work and performances have improved significantly since Partey's injury

      1. bso
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Great info thanks mate

        1. Andy_Social
          3 years, 24 days ago

          The Partey experiment was a short-term measure because Zinchenko was out. Even when Partey is fit, I don't think Arteta will go there again. For me, Gabriel is nailed for the foreseeable.

      Wouldn't touch Rash or Bruno. MU are garbage.

      Not sure nothing a -8 would not sort out

      Yeah, you need to make at least 7 changes to that team...

        Any suggestions?

        1. outernational

          Obviously wait for injury updates, but I would move on Onana, Estu, Rashford, Bruno, Wissa, Gusto, and possibly Turner. For suggestions in, all you need to do is take a look at all the wildcard drafts on this site. In goal I'd definitely want Areola and/or Raya, in defence Trippier, in midfield Salah (and Son provided he isn't injured), and in attack Watkins if you can fit him in somehow.

          I'd also look at Archer for your bench if you are going to be playing 3-5-2.

    Can have only one...Alvarez or Watkins?

      Alvarez if you are selling Haaland
      Watkins if you want to keep Haaland

        Crazy, but too scared to sell Haaland...

      2. outernational

        Any idea what's up with Haaland? He hasn't looked that sharp in the last couple of games.

        1. lugs

          missing KDB

        It would be risky selling him though as he could easily haul against Brighton, Man U and Bournemouth after the Arsenal game.

          He could haul against any team. The problem is that he's not, at the moment.

      Alvarez

    Estu > cash ft?

    Constantly dealing with defensive injuries this season. It began with Shaw and Stones and hasn't let up. Currently Chilwell and Botman are my issues...

    How does Chilwell to Burn sound? Can''t afford Trip

    Ederson
    Cash Udogie Scharr
    Saka Son Maddison Sterling Mbuemo
    Watkins Haaland

    (Davies/Chilwell/Botman/Muniz)

      it sounds a bit boring, but do it if you want the double Newcastle defense after the IB

    On a WC, would you consider Salah and Alvarez over Diaby and Haaland?

    1. lugs
      3 years, 24 days ago

      i don't think there is much between them, why not all 4 ?

      1. Cruyff's Eleven
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        3 years, 24 days ago

        That prices me out of Son & Bowen.

    2. Cruyff's Eleven

      3 years, 24 days ago

      Vicario - Turner
      Trippier - Cash - Andersen - Burn - Tarkowski
      Salah - Bowen - Saka - Maddison - Son
      Alvarez - Watkins - Morris

        that's a cracking team tbf

        The only thing I'd consider is Morris to Archer. Morris is giving me great results already this week, but it'll be rare to have either him or Archer starting, and you may want to upgrade the defense a bit at some point with the extra cash. Otherwise, very solid, wish I had the cojones for it, lol

          Cheers, and I agree. Morris to Archer is the money in the bank.

          Appreciate the feedback.
