1. Make FPL Casual Again

    Best Chilwell replacement?

    1. Cash
    2. Porro
    3. Udogie
    4. Lascelles
    5. Other

    Cash very attacking regardless of position and great fixtures. Mighr play lw occasionally

    Porro better underlying than Udogie, 6 attacking returns last season. Next two best fixtures

    Lascelkes at 3.9m if Botman out long term. Frees budget. Fixtures not as good

    1. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Both 1 and 2 very good options

    2. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I’ve had Cash all season and would recommend with his fixtures looming. Have Udogie too but would like Porro if I could afford

      1. Make FPL Casual Again
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah cant ignore spurs cs potential in short term fuxtures

        Can see villa conceding in next couple, but could get Cash later on

    3. Pedersen
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      1 if it was me

  2. The-Red-1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    My front 8 are

    Son Maddison Diaby Foden Bowen
    Haaland Alvarez Archer.

    Would you upgrade Son to Salah, or Archer to Watkins?

    1. Pedersen
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Watkins. Salah too expensive with alternatives that score the same. Son really good too

    2. Paganoi
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Son & Watkins for me.

  3. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Saka really dropping tonight?

    1. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Looks like it

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Still find it strange with such a good record this season

        1. The Big Fella
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          They will all be scrambling to get him back in soon. I think he will do well against City too. Their defenders aren't great!

        2. Gazza2000
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Went off injured though

          1. g40steve
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Got kick on shin, carried on then went down.
            If he hadn’t gave away two pens no one would be ditching?

  4. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Can't seem to be able to play this game these days. 49 with Sterling/Kabore to go.

    Rival in 1st place 80 this wk ,99 last wk. He's already 50+ ahead of me in 4th

    1. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      The average is 43.
      The guy in your mini league is killing it, simple as that

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Long road ahead yet mate, 50+ points is nothing at this stage

  5. Pedersen
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Alvarez to Watkins?

    1. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Nah

      1. Pedersen
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Even fixtures taking into account?

    2. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I got both on WC.

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        No Haaland

        1. Atimis
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Meant to be a question

      2. Pedersen
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I transfered out Watkins this GW on wc... now searching to get him back ...

  6. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    A. Saka to Diaby
    B. Alvarez to Watkins

    1. Kay317
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Diaby went off injured today so don't think I'd do that.

    2. Eoin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Alvarez to Watkins feels very reactive. I'd give Alvarez two more weeks... he does have Brighton in GW9, after all, and he's just scored + 3bps

  7. Kay317
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Did son go off injured today? Want to bring him in for Rashford before prices shift.

    1. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Didn’t look it. Just being managed I think

      1. Kay317
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks

    2. Intinny
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      He was limping for a couple of minutes before her went off. Imagine it's just connected to the persistent niggle he has been managing this season and he will be good to go again next week

      1. Kay317
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Hopefully. I've done Rash to Son already this evening. Beats price changes but mostly I'm just so pissed off with it all I don't want to look at it for the next week!

        1. Intinny
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          I'd say your early move should work out. I did my first early move of the season last Monday. Estupiñan and Mbuemo to Cash and Bowen. Got quite lucky with so many potential injuries but a gamble is always a bit of fun and needed a few days away from it all like yourself

  8. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Is the new template 343 or will it remain 352 going forwards? I note the number 1 in the world plays the former and the other top 4 play the latter (4OR doesn't even have Haaland!). I have seen more and more 433s on here too with Haaland, Alvarez and another playing striker (Watkins, Wilson etc.). I am 50-50 - with so many great options in midfield, the value does seem to be there but the form of some of the few good striker options is also very appealing. What do you think? Brave new world or as it has always been?

    1. Opurist
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I'm on 3-4-3 and am going pure anti-template. It's going well. Can use the 3rd striker slot as a pure differential. Let me get Watkins for example when he's hard for most to get to without wildcarding

  9. Claudio555
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    On a wc. Trippier or Alvarez?

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Trippier

    2. Eoin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Trip

  10. Flynny

    2 years, 5 months ago

    2fts and 0.5m....tempted to Wildcard.....what to do here?

    A.....rashford / saka and dias to Son and cash

    B.....wildcard

    C....something else

    Pickford
    Trippier estu udog (dias kabore)
    Rashford bruno saka maddison mbeumo
    Haaland alvarez (archer)

    1. Kay317
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      A, Rashford and Dias to son and cash.

  11. Old Bull
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Who remembers the preseason template? Any talk of Watkins was often met with the better value elsewhere remark.

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      And that was true until this week

      Alvarez was as good/better value up until this haul

      1. Opurist
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Waffle.

      2. Old Bull
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Few would have switched Alvarez to Watkins this week.

    2. Opurist
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Don't forget Salah too. Now they're wildcarding to get Salah and some even for Salah + Watkins. Funny eh.

      1. Old Bull
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Stable doors and bolting horses

    3. Get up ya bum
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Group think. I started with him. And Trent. Bowen. No utd. No Salah. Etc. Presumably would have been all wrong according to FFS template. After 3 weeks I was 1k in the world

      1. Old Bull
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        The guy winning my mini league would be termed a casual. He’s maintained top 100,000 from GW1 with players the likes of Watkins, Tripps, Salah, Ederson, players considered overpriced by many.

    4. Intinny
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      To be fair Watkins has returned in 6 of 7 weeks, as has Salah so both worth every penny. I chose Diaby and Salah early on and stuck with them but Villa double up looks very enticing

  12. Gazza2000
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Any news on Saka?

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years

      Yeah don't sell.

  13. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Is there a chance Botman could still be fine for next GW or definitely out for a while?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Unlikely to be available based on reports

    2. Eoin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I'd definitely try and wait on making a move until Howe gives more info

  14. DMP
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Shocker. On 32 points.

    Time to WC? 2FT

    Jonhstone(Turner)
    Estu Udogie Kabore (Botman, Baldock)
    Salah Saka Bruno Mbeumo Sterling
    Halland Álvarez (Morris)

    Considering:
    A) Saka+Fernandes+Morris to Son+Madison+Archer(-4)
    B) Saka+Morris to Son+Madison+Archer(free)
    C) Just Wildcard

    1. DMP
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      ** B)Saka+Morris to Son+Archer(free)

    2. Eoin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Be patient, 2 FTs can give you a good shot of a green arrow for next week. Get Son and Maddison into that midfield for the Luton game, and see what happens.

      You've still got a bit to go in this GW, too, with double Luton, Sterling and Mbeumo. Keep the faith!

      1. DMP
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        If i bring Son and Madison Saka and Fernandes Will haul. Thats for sure.

  15. Opurist
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Odegaard mega haul today, anyone interest piqued?

    Wonder if we have any Watkins and Odegaard owners on this forum. Probably not since it is a bit of a group hivemind

    1. Old Bull
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I own Ode and Saka but thinking of switching Ode to Son next GW.

      1. Opurist
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Me too. Brought him in this GW, think I'll sell on a high. Although, I do think he will get 200 points again this season. Might go back to him here and there as a differential

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      I had Watkins and IDE from the start but sold Watkins going into gw6 unfortunately! Still have IDE and Saka though (about to sell)

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        *Ode

      2. Opurist
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Happens, his confidence was shot to pieces before his goal at Chelsea. And Duran was threatening his minutes in fairness.

        1. FPL Blow-In
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Frustrating all the same. I sold him for Hojlund and their nice run !!

  16. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    71 points all done, with no Villa, no West Ham, no Spurs, Haaland captain and owning 3 United still. I’m considering myself extremely lucky this gw!

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Who did you actually have?

      1. Opurist
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Probably Odegaard

        1. FPL Blow-In
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Yeah, Trippier, White, Saka, Odegaard, and Alvarez saving my bacon.

          Onana, Mitoma, Walker, Rashford, Hojlund and Haaland disappointing

          1. Opurist
            • 4 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Rashford, what's your plan there? I looked at him for Saka replacement and his stats are good. Just not producing and eye test he fails it all hands up.

            1. FPL Blow-In
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              2 years, 5 months ago

              I’m using WC in gw9 so think I’ll swallow the price drops and give him and my other Utd players Brentford to hopefully give me a nice parting gift.

              Would be a big differential, nobody else would be foolish enough to hold 3 Utd right!

    2. Intinny
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      White and Odegaard were massive differentials today, well played

    Who would you keep for 2 GWs before WC10?

    1.Saka: MCI (H) & che (A)
    2. Rashford: BRE (H) & shu (A)

    1. Eoin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Saka

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Enough patience for Rashford at least Saka produces points. Fixtures have been irrelevant.

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        It is fixtures v form and fixtures tend to produce form but it is difficult to keep being patient after 7 GWs

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          MUN great fixtures so far, minimal points from Rashford and eye test for MUN just crazy to ignore

    3. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Saka

  19. Eoin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Have we got to grips with price changes yet? Rashford dropping tonight, is what I'm wondering?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Going to have to assume he will drop when he is at - 100

      1. Eoin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Yes been watching this, but lots linger past 100 there without dropping for a few days - was wondering if anyone here had any extra info

  20. Bucket Man
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Watkins to Alvarez last week was another great decision 🙁

    Do I wildcard tonight or just hold onto next GW which is the plan. And do Saka or Rashford to Son?

    Onana
    Trippier, Udogie, Estupinan
    Saka, Rashford, Sterling, Maddison, Mbuemo
    Haaland, Alvarez
    Turner, Kabore, Botman, Mubarak

    1. waltzingmatildas
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Reckon you could hold. Rashford to Son looks good

    2. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Have the same starting XI and really smells like WC

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Can get Son by still will be with Onana, Estu, potentially Sterling and Mbeumo bad picks as well

    3. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Don’t beat yourself up. Alvarez still a great option

      1. Bucket Man
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks all. Yes you can’t get every call right with regards to Watkins to Alvarez. In terms of WC. Still not sure with every draft I make. It’s reassuring to know I can get Son next week but if I’m planning to play GW9 it’s what makes me think do it this week instead. Doesn’t help that my TV is awful and could get a lot worse tonight.

        Morris

        I was thinking he was dropping in price, would probably not get that much against BHA, and I'd been wanting to get rid of him since gw2 ....

        Oops

        He's back in now on a wild card

        I also transferred out Saka!

      Ouch. I’m annoyed at myself for removing him last week. You Couldn’t predict that result though.

        There's a guy in my ML has him on the bench with no chance of coming in. Not sure which is worse!!

          That’s probably worse. Don’t get why you’d bench him especially this week with so many injury doubts.

      DGW syndrome hurt a lot of players this week. It's always so tempting. Morris has done well today though and could easily double digit again in the second game

    Watkins has more points this season than Mr Perma Cap, Leader of the Sheep GroupThink HiveMind.

    Makes one ponder.

    Time to WC?

    Onana Turner
    Botman Gusto Udogie Andersen Estupinian
    Mitoma Saka Salah Rashford Gordon
    Haaland Álvarez Mubama

    With Gakpo & Jota out next week, Nunez or Diaz?

    Will lose value on Saka but want to hold he gave away 15 points today!

    Estu & Mbemo drops don’t effect me.

    Best upgrades without using WC?

    Or too many fires, want Son/Maddy, Bowen, Watkins, Pool

    Onana
    Trippier, Udogie, Estupinan
    Saka, Foden, Sterling, Bruno, Mbeumo
    Hauland, Alvarez,

    Turner, Morris, Kabore, Botman

      I want to get Nunez. Think he'll be gold, if he can establish his place. Unfortunate there's now a question over his fitness, with Jota/Gakpo out for a bit.

        Diaz looks nailed?

        1. DARE TO BISCAN
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Yep.

    Who is more important to own, long-term?

    a) Trippier (+ cash to upgrade Morris, Mbuemo)
    b) Salah (Morris > Archer)

      A.

    Absolutely no idea whether to WC or not...thoughts?

    Pickford - Turner
    Tripper - Estu - Cash - Beyer - Gusto
    Salah - Saka - Maddison - Mbuemo - Anderson
    Alvarez - Morris - Halaand

    1. DARE TO BISCAN

      Not enough info. Do you have FTs, cash ITB?

      1. seanastley97
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        1 ft and 1.1m ITB

        Son and Watkins the main two I'm looking at but would need more than 2 transfers

          Assuming you'd keep Trippier, Salah, Maddison, Haaland. I think you'd be struggling to fit Son/Watkins on a WC. You could do Saka > Son. Not sure if I'd want to lose Saka

      Don’t think you need to. A bit of minor surgery required.
