    Haaland & Archer > Watkins & Darwin for -4 & 5.1m itb? 🙂

    1. ArseneAllTheWay
      3 years, 24 days ago

      No!

    2. Uncle John from Jamaica
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Darwin rarely starts is this a joke.

  2. ArseneAllTheWay

    Rashford & Morris > Bowen & Watkins…

    Yes or no?

    Repost bottomed-

    Greetings all!! Can’t decide to get Salah or Watkins… how does this little compromise sound??….

    Morris, Rashford, Estupinan to Wakins, Diaz and 4.0 defender(bench) -4

    Thoughts welcomed!!

    Cheers everyone!!

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      3 years, 24 days ago

      not sure I like it. I think getting watkins now feels like chasing points. i would do rashford to diaby for example.

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Diaby injured mate I think, I was looking at him prior to today

        1. Ajax Hamsterdam
          3 years, 24 days ago

          oops sorry I hadnt realised....i would prioritise salah over watkins 100%

          1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
            3 years, 24 days ago

            Cheers mate!! I’m think you’re probably right!! Back to the drawing board!! Can get him in easily if I move to 3-4-3

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            3 years, 24 days ago

            Yes, not definitely out. I have him and waiting for news, the later reports suggested he might be okay

  4. Manani
    3 years, 24 days ago

    which move? (2FT)

    A. Sterling > Maddison
    B. Saka > Son
    C. Pickford > Areola + Mbuemo/Sterling > Maddison

    1. Swanniie
      3 years, 24 days ago

      B if Saka injured

      A if not

  5. g40steve
    3 years, 24 days ago

    Head spinner?

    343 or 352

    Salah or spread the funds

    1. RICICLE
      3 years, 24 days ago

      352
      Salah

    2. Woking Wanderers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 24 days ago

      3-4-3 no Salah.

    3. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 24 days ago

      A 1 pointer today is not a good advert for Salah’s talents but I think this was due to extenuating circumstances and he’s going to be reliable points scorer going forward

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Well he got an assist didn’t he, and it was incorrectly chalked off.

        In my mind he got 4 points minimum

        1. The Ilfordian
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          3 years, 24 days ago

          I agree. I’m happy owning him and but for the the incorrect offside and the sending offs he could easily have got a big score

  6. GoonerSteve
    3 years, 24 days ago

    Best defender up to 4.3?

    1. Rock n Grohl
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Taylor (3.9) Burnley? Slim pickings though

    2. Yes Ndidi
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Good luck.
      The best you can hope for sub-4.5 is regular starts and maybe a point or two, so probably one of the Burnley or Luton 4's and bank the rest.
      I'm willing Beyer to drop to 3.9 to replace Gusto, but as above Charlie Taylor is getting good minutes as well.

  7. nerd_is_the_werd

    Serious question, but what actually happens when referees and VAR screw up?
    It's still the same nonsense every week, and it's been at least 5 years since VAR was implemented.
    Maybe if they were actually held accountable, or fined / fired for sheer incompetence, we might actually rid of these basic human errors.
    We've had enough "full-investigations" from PGMOL, why don't you do something different for a change....

    1. Intinny
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Unfortunately the most that has happened in recent times is they get suspended for a gameweek of officiating and are back in shortly after. So very little accountability

    2. George Sillett
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Human errors are precisely that. There are vast over reactions when VAR goes wrong . Rarely does anyone ever praise VAR when it works properly. Yes the system is imperfect but just one question. Have you ever refereed? I doubt it very much. The game is played at pace , things happen very quickly and to top that an official frequently has to decide whether a player is cheating or not . There are do many armchair critics of refs who have no idea. Are players fined for incompetence ?

      1. nerd_is_the_werd
        3 years, 24 days ago

        I don't need to referee to see with the naked eye that is not offside.
        These idiots are paid the big bucks to deliver a service and do their jobs...
        Why were there no lines drawn? Could they not understand the magnitude of their decisions?

        We don't want to hear excuses for getting it wrong.... DON'T GET IT WRONG IN THE FIRST PLACE!

        VAR is never an issue in UEFA Champions League.
        If these refs can't deal with the "pace" of the situation, they are not fit for the job.... simple....

        1. _Ninja_
          3 years, 24 days ago

          VAR thought the goal was given on field, checked it was onside and said check complete, thinking the goal was given.

        2. George Sillett
          3 years, 24 days ago

          Are you criticising the VAR process or referees or both ?
          Believe you me if you haven't refereed you really have no idea whatsoever. Do you get sacked or fined of you make an error of judgement in your job ? Of course you don't. Get real.

          1. nerd_is_the_werd
            3 years, 24 days ago

            Let's put it this way..... Spurs v Liverpool is a 6-pointer game.
            That offside decision could cost a team Champions League, title deciders, basically millions in revenue for one club.
            You don't get to make a basic "human-error" which is totally avoidable and be in a position of power to make decisions.

            There are different level of "error", and you don't compare what any public sector worker does with referees.
            As I said before, these guys are paid the big bucks to make the big decisions... how do you explain the Wolves "non-penalty" v Man Utd? - We've seen loads of examples of incompetency from VAR.

            Call it what you want, I am criticising the refs, process whatever it is that led to a basic "human-error".....

      2. The Ilfordian
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        3 years, 24 days ago

        I agree with this. Asking for people rose their jobs is not the answer (unless there was some evidence of fraud or illegal activity). But they should do bettter and they should openly look at ways that they can protect against this sort of thing happening again.

    3. DARE TO BISCAN
      3 years, 24 days ago

      A lack of officials to choose from is probably a big factor in the errors being made. VAR means more officials are needed per match. Firing them, for human error, won't help that.

      That being said. The Diaz 'off-side' decision seemed more than human error. The way it was decided so quickly, without showing the usual lines on the screen. When in real-time and replays, he looked clearly onside. Didn't seem right.

      The Jones redcard, you could debate either way. So, acceptable decision. The off-side? That should be a simple, fact-based call. Not acceptable.

      I don't know if officiating is worse than in the past. It's definitely more scrutinized, with more hysteria around it

      1. _Ninja_
        3 years, 24 days ago

        As i said above, VAR thought the goal was given on field, checked it was onside and said check complete, thinking the goal was given. Huge error.

        1. DARE TO BISCAN
          3 years, 24 days ago

          Has that been confirmed as the reason? Ridiculous, if true

            1. DARE TO BISCAN
              3 years, 24 days ago

              A statement issued by the referees' body read: "PGMOL acknowledge a significant human error occurred during the first half of Tottenham Hotspur v Liverpool.

              "The goal by Luiz Diaz was disallowed for offside by the on-field team of match officials. This was a clear and obvious factual error and should have resulted in the goal being awarded through VAR intervention, however, the VAR failed to intervene. PGMOL will conduct a full review into the circumstances which led to the error."

              All they say is that the VAR failed to intervene. Who is saying that is the reason why they didn't intervene?

              1. _Ninja_
                3 years, 24 days ago

                The article says...."The VAR Darren England incorrectly thought the onfield decision was "goal," quickly identified that Díaz was onside and told the onfield team "check complete" to confirm the goal. But when referee Simon Hooper was told this, he understood the decision made by the assistant as being correct.

                That meant that rather than the decision being changed to goal, it remained disallowed."

                1. DARE TO BISCAN
                  3 years, 24 days ago

                  Yes, the article says...

                  Where have they got this from, though? It's not in the actual PGMOL statement.

        2. El Presidente
          3 years, 24 days ago

          I cannot believe that's the case, it would be too serious and really really damaging

          1. _Ninja_
            3 years, 24 days ago

            It's just human error, a bad one right enough.

        3. nerd_is_the_werd
          3 years, 24 days ago

          Ok, now here come the questions.....

          How did VAR come to the conclusion that the goal was given?
          And how were they allowed to communicate the "incorrect" decision?

          We're all watching the same game... HOW CAN YOU GET THAT WRONG??

          1. _Ninja_
            3 years, 24 days ago

            The linesman keeps the flag down until after the goal (as they've been told to do). As soon as the goal goes in Darren England on VAR assumes its given on field and checks VAR quickly, its onside and says 'check complete'. To the ref that means it confirms linesman's decision that its offside. I don't know how VAR cant then chat the ref and says...Ooops

            1. nerd_is_the_werd
              3 years, 24 days ago

              If you're relying on hand signals to communicate offside decisions, something is fundamentally wrong with the game.

              Let's be clear here... I don't support Liverpool or Spurs... but incompetency at this level in the so called, best league in the world is inexcusable...

              Sound like a broken record... HOW CAN YOU GET THAT WRONG?!?

    Why was Darwin unused?

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Was about to come on just as Jota got sent off I think

    2. g40steve

      Knee injury

      1. FantasyClub
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Oh so he a doubt for next week I guess…
        How come no flag on him?

        1. gart888
          3 years, 24 days ago

          Because steve is a liar.

            1. gart888
              3 years, 24 days ago

              That might be why he didn't start, but it looked like he was going to come on before the 2nd red.

              In any case, sorry lol.

    Early predictions for Ars - Mci please?

    1. jack88
      3 years, 24 days ago

      2-2

    2. Swanniie
      3 years, 24 days ago

      As a MCI fan, I've got to say ARS definitely look the favourites, especially at home.

    3. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Maybe Ode and Saka out is not wise then?

    4. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 24 days ago

      For all their respective fire power, I reckon Arsenal might have the edge because Rice is fit and Rodri isn’t

  10. pundit of punts
    3 years, 24 days ago

    Doing Foden ➡ Maddison this gw. Gives me -

    Areola
    Cash - Burn - Branthwaite
    Salah - Son - Maddison - Bowen
    Haaland - Watkins - Hojlund

    3.9 - Gabriel - Chukwuemeka - Taylor

    Thoughts? 🙂

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      3 years, 24 days ago

      awesome!!!

    2. fedolefan
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Removing Foden with Hojlund in the team doesn’t feel right to me.

      1. pundit of punts
        3 years, 24 days ago

        WC ed this gw

        Keeping Hojlund for the next 2 and he will be gone for Mitoma in gw 10.

        Hojlund came very close to scoring today as well.

    3. Deer-in-headlights

      Well done. You can delay your wildcard with that lot (assuming you haven't already).

      1. pundit of punts
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Lol

        This is my WC team from this gw that is DGW 7 WC er 😀

  11. GREEN JUMPERS
    3 years, 24 days ago

    Is getting Douglas Luiz for 2-3 weeks acceptable/advisable (on pens, great fixtures) to make this WC team happen? Brighton mids coming in later:

    Areola (Turner)
    Trippier Udogie Estu (Botman Taylor)
    Salah Luiz Maddison Son Diaby
    Watkins Haaland (Archer)

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      3 years, 24 days ago

      I've been contemplating it too if Diaby is out. Could just move to Bowen but Luiz is solid. On setpieces and penalties, and he's one of the best in FPL for bps when he gets a return. I mean he picked up 2 today despite Diaby getting 2 returns or the likes of Cash picking up a return too

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        3 years, 24 days ago

        *2 bonus

      2. GREEN JUMPERS
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Didn't know that about the bps. Think I'll go for it. How bad was it for Diaby?

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

          Quote: When asked for an update in the post-match press conference, Emery said: “I think he [Diaby] has some pain but I think it’s not going to be relevant for the next matches."

          The only problem is that he takes up a valuable Villa spot.

  12. Atimis
    3 years, 24 days ago

    WC now? Maybe week to early but probably no point in dragging Onana, Estu, Botman, some of Rash/Sterling/Mbeumo any longer…?

    1. GREEN JUMPERS
      3 years, 24 days ago

      A fair few price changes may happen the longer you wait. Hit mine today

      1. Atimis
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Yeah factor as well

        1. g40steve
          3 years, 24 days ago

          What’s it looking like, with Salah they look very similar

  13. GoonerSteve
    3 years, 24 days ago

    Current team:

    Leno (Areola)
    Cash, Udogie, Estupinan (Botman*, Gusto*)
    Salah, Foden, Maddison, Saka, Diaby
    Haaland, Alvarez

    1.4itb. 1ft.

    A) Foden to Son, Botmam to Lascelles.
    B) Foden to Son, Estupinan to Andersen or Burn

    Both would very for my first -4 of the season, but Son looks essential (assuming fit) and I've had a shocker this week so keen to change things up.

  14. jack88
    3 years, 24 days ago

    Why was son subbed early? Is he injured? Bruno > son?

    1. gart888
      3 years, 24 days ago

      He limped off, but nothing major happened to him.

      I'm also pretty tempted to do Bruno to Son.

    2. GREEN JUMPERS
      3 years, 24 days ago

      I think he was carrying a knock of some kind going into the game but hey, he played

  15. Ajax Hamsterdam
    3 years, 24 days ago

    apart from feeling sorry for myself , I dont know what to with my team.

    vicario (turner)
    estu cash udogie (botman bell)
    salah maddison bowen mbeumo (nakamba)
    haaland alvarez awoniyi

    1ft 2.5 itb

    a) mbeumo and vicario to son and johnstone for -4
    b) maddison to son for free
    c)botman to trippier for free (not keen but trippier feels like a must own)

    cheers

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      3 years, 24 days ago

      awoniyi to nunez could work as well but that means no son/trippier in team for the long term

    2. Nickyboy
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Trippier I think

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        3 years, 24 days ago

        cheers 🙂

  16. NoName
    3 years, 24 days ago

    Does this team need a WC?

    Pickford
    Trippier Botman Udogie
    Diaz Mbeumo Son Maddison
    Haaland Alvarez Morris

    (Turner, Saka Estupinan Gusto)

    1. Swanniie
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Definitely doesn't need it, IMO.

    2. DARE TO BISCAN
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Nah

    3. NoName

    Brighton v Pool next week could be wild! Salah and Darwin could feast

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      3 years, 24 days ago

      son or salah c for me next week

      1. Intinny
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Yep I'll likely go Salah. Haaland perma captain may not be as essential as last year with City personnel so different this season, but early days yet so all about timing it right

    2. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Just seen I can to Rashford and Morris to Darwin and Diaz!!! Mmm interesting!!

      1. Intinny
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Even as a United fan I'd be tempted by this! This is why I have Salah as a season keeper, Liverpool are lethal in attack and will batter some team soon if they can keep 11 men in the field

        1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
          3 years, 24 days ago

          Agree mate they will!! I can get
          To Salah easy if I lose Saka and Rashford to Salah and Anderson and play 3-4-3, so the Diaz
          And Darwin option could be a nice different one to explore!!

          1. Intinny
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            3 years, 24 days ago

            I'd find Darwin hard to resist if I hadn't got Salah already. He could easily be the next Watkins haulwagon especially with Gapko looking like he will miss out next week

            1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
              3 years, 24 days ago

              I think your selling him to
              Me mate!!!! Could be right!!! And Liverpools fixtures are tasty for a while now!! Just watching Match of the day!! Morris could have hauled today!! Haha scored, hit the bar, and one ruled out, making me want to keep
              Him haha…. Not really

              1. Intinny
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                3 years, 24 days ago

                Haha watching MOTD myself. I think holding off a few days is the best option now for transfers. Unless you are really tight for cash for Darwin transfer that is. Morris has very little goals expected in open play until today so not sure how good an option he will be after this DGW

                1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
                  3 years, 24 days ago

                  Yeah I agree mate!! I’m
                  So impulsive sometimes!! Haha yeah he looked good today mate, took his goal well, he’s my vice captain!! Wish I’d captained him now!! Could have got away with it.

                  1. Intinny
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    3 years, 24 days ago

                    Would have been sweet. It's so tempting to go against Haaland each week to gain some points on the majority

                    1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
                      3 years, 24 days ago

                      I agree mate!! Especially in the away games!! I think there’s
                      Going to be some opportunities coming up or us!!

      Think I’m doing mine shortly. Feel like I have a clear view now of what team I want (actually i did last week but decided to hold) and going to get priced out of it if I don’t do it now. Good luck!

      at your own risks...

    Álvarez to Watkins for free? If i wait until tomorrow I can't do it anymore

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      3 years, 24 days ago

      i wouldnt do it, alvarez is a bargain imo and watkins will not score 20+ every gw

    2. Diesel@007
      3 years, 24 days ago

      I would.
      Villa have a great run, and Alvarez is due for some rest/rotation i reckon...

      Risky with Europe midweek.

        Don’t each of them have midweek Europe?

    Have the exact funds to do Rashford and Estupinan to Son and Udogie.
    Think I will risk it and do it tonight.

    Turner Areola

    Botman Burn Cash Estupinan Kabore
    Salah Rashford Saka Diaby Mbeumo

    Haaland Alvarez Archer

    1. Diesel@007
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Rash and Etsu will fall, Son Rising. Risky to wait...

  22. Bobkat
    3 years, 24 days ago

    Who to get rid of first? Rashford or Mbeumo to Son?

    1. Diesel@007
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Rashford.
      Mbeumo will score against Utd

    Any chance Foden will rise or Maddison drop?
    0.1 off the move!

  24. jack88

    Son or salah, cant have both without selling trippier/watkins which are great value imo

    1. Nickyboy
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Going without Salah, I think. Can’t have them all

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        3 years, 24 days ago

        salah could do so well in the next 4, mouth watering stuff.

      Who would you prioritise?

      I can't have both either (see below).

  25. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…

    Is this worth a hit next week?

    Botman to Trippier
    Foden to Neto

    1. DMP
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Probably not. Newcastle has Wash Ham away, surely they can’t keep clean sheet and Trippier can deliver assists at this rate.

  26. Cruyff's Eleven

    3 years, 24 days ago

    RMWCT please?

    Areola - Turner
    Trippier - Cash - Burn - Andersen - Baldock
    Salah - Bowen - Saka - Maddison - Longstaff
    Haaland - Watkins - Archer

    Any way to get Son, you reckon?

  27. nerd_is_the_werd

    An absolutely horrendous day for North-Western clubs.
    Man City, Man Utd, Liverpool, Everton, Burnley, all lost today.

  28. DMP
    3 years, 24 days ago

    Gtg for next GW or just hit Wildcard?

    0 ft. .4 Itb

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

  29. Diesel@007

    Hows this look:
    Bruno and Saka - to - Son and Madison for free

    1. DMP
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Go go go.

      Already did Saka to Son and considering Bruno to Maddison for an hit. Look above.

    2. Intinny

      Haven't owned Bruno all season but I'd be reluctant to sell him before Brentford at home. United have to respond at some stage and score a few

      1. Diesel@007
        3 years, 24 days ago

        yeah, you have a point, although UTD look like they'd struggle to score against Luton atm!

        1. Intinny
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          3 years, 24 days ago

          Haha they do yeah! It's been painful, I'd hoped for so much more after a promising season last year
