    Resisting WC, Sterling & Estu >Son & Cash -4?

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

    Turner, Morris, Kabore, Botman

      yeah good moves

        Cheers

  2. agueroooooney
    3 years, 24 days ago

    A) Foden + Rashford + J. Pedro -> Son + Diaby + Watkins (-8)
    B) WC
    C) Roll

    Pickford
    Estu - Trippier - Gabriel
    Saka - Rashford - Foden - Diaz - Mitoma
    Haaland - Morris
    Turner - J.Pedro - Beyer - Botman

    1. KeanosMagic
      3 years, 24 days ago

      I'd be tempted to WC and ditch Pickford too, maybe Diaz

    2. Swanniie
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Very similar boat, it's gotta be WC over -8 surely, especially with potential injuries and fixture swings.

      Only thing putting me off is the international break, but surely it's not gonna be much of an issue...

    Need your advices on this team please!

    1 FT / 1.7 ITB

    Areola ( Turner )
    Estu Cash Botman ( Udogie / Baldock )
    Bowen Saka Mitoma Salah Maddison
    Haaland Alvarez ( Archer )

    1. Sheffield Wednesday
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Son

  4. Sheffield Wednesday
    3 years, 24 days ago

    Bottomed. Best Botman replacement up to 4.9m? Own Trippier, Cash, Estupiñán.

    a) Andersen of Crystal Palace
    b) Burn
    c) someone else
    d) hold FT and hope Botman & Gusto won't be needed off bench as they are unavailable GW8, but may return GW9.

    1. pablo discobar
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Lascalles?

    2. adam wigan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 24 days ago

      D

    3. Bob B
      3 years, 24 days ago

      I'm debating Botman to Burn or Gusto to Lascelles, but the decision can wait and the latter isn't so good for your bench

  5. theshazly
    3 years, 24 days ago

    Which transfers shall I do here ?

    1 FT / 1.7 ITB

    Areola ( Turner )
    Estu Cash Botman ( Udogie / Baldock )
    Bowen Saka Mitoma Salah Maddison
    Haaland Alvarez ( Archer )

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

      Need some spurs players

      1. theshazly
        3 years, 24 days ago

        What about maddison & udogie in my team ? Do i still need “ some “ spurs team ?

        1. Swanniie
          3 years, 24 days ago

          He probably meant need Son spur player, in which case I agree.

          Play Udogie and bench Botman.

          Saka -> Son
          or
          Alvarez -> Watkins
          or
          Roll

  6. The Wheeler Dealer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    3 years, 24 days ago

    Pickford (Turner)
    Trippier Botman Dias (Udogie Beyer)
    Saka Son Mbeumo Salah (Gordon)
    Haaland Morris (Ui-jo)

    Should I use WC, or stick it out with this team for another week?

    1. Herger
      3 years, 24 days ago

      I wouldn’t WC that

  7. Flynny
    3 years, 24 days ago

    Just hit wildcard......how does it look?

    Areola (turner)
    Cash udog burn (gabriel lamptey)
    Salah son maddison bowen diaby
    Haaland watkins (archer)

    Thanks

    1. Herger
      3 years, 24 days ago

      fine

    2. GoonerSteve
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Nice. I just sold Foden and Estupinan for Burn and Son, so similar.

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

      (Areola, Semenyo, Botman*, Gusto*)

      Would love Watkins but assuming all fit, my midfield is glorious!

  8. nerd_is_the_werd
    3 years, 24 days ago

    I have a couple of options here, but which one for GW8:

    a) Mbuemo ---> Kulusevski
    b) Chilwell ---> 6.0 DEF (not Trips, Estup, Saliba or Tarkowski)

    Will probably WC in GW9 for a punt.

  9. The Big Fella
    3 years, 24 days ago

    Best midfielder for 5.6m max? Was on Gordon but he is out. Was thinking JWP but have Bowen and think that would be too much WHU. With Gordon out, will Tonali get more game time?

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

      Neto I’d say

    2. Herger
      3 years, 24 days ago

      JWP’s not 5.6 anyway. Gordon’s only out for 1 game. It’s basically Gordon/Neto and if you need them this week it’s just Neto

      1. The Big Fella
        3 years, 24 days ago

        This is the second time today I have made that mistake. Good catch, thanks! I had forgotten also about the international break so I think I will stick with Gordon then as their fixtures are better.

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

      Douglas Luiz, I'm thinking of moving Diaby to him if he's out

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

        I'd prefer Ramsey now he's back, if Diaby is conformed out longterm.

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

          *confirmed

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

          Fair enough. Luiz is on most setpieces though including penalties and is great for bps

  10. Opurist
    3 years, 24 days ago

    Transfers made early. Let's hope for a quiet midweek

    1. Herger

    2. FPL Sanky
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Good luck...I made an early transfer last week from Chilly to Botman and still regretting that decision... hope it turns out well for you

  11. Hanz0
    3 years, 24 days ago

    Best option?

    A.) Foden > Son
    B.) Mbeumo > Son
    C.) Saka & Morris > Son & Watkins (-4)

    Don't really want to sell Saka, but gives me exact money ITB to afford Watkins if I move tonight..

    1. Herger
      3 years, 24 days ago

      C if you have a way to get back to Saka for GW10. If not, B. But I’d still look to lose Foden soon

  12. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    3 years, 24 days ago

    WC active.

    The punt on Gordon worked and didn't work at the same time. Got points but now he's out and my bench is completely decimated.

    Seriously tempted to try a no-Haaland draft.

    1. Herger
      3 years, 24 days ago

      That is aggressive

    2. Opurist
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Needless risk, just don't captain him if you think he won't deliver

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

        The budget enables a lot.

        Fixes my entire defense, I have Alvarez - Watkins up front. It's genuinely an interesting choice. I'm not saying I'm gonna do it but I'm gonna give it some thought.

        1. _Ninja_
          3 years, 24 days ago

          Haaland got 14 pts v Arsenal last time out, although City were playing better back then.

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

            He scored in the other game too and City weren't playing well at all at that stage

        2. Opurist
          3 years, 24 days ago

          I'm sure it does, but at what cost? We know Haaland will score a few in the upcoming run.

        3. Casual Player
          3 years, 24 days ago

          Yeah definitely have a look

          If you’re on WC and not properly considering the no-Haaland option, you’re not doing your due diligence.

    3. thegaffer82
      3 years, 24 days ago

      There’s plenty of great differentials out there, the likes of Bowen & even Watkins are fairly low owned. And we are seeing loads of variance in the scores as the template becomes a thing of the past.
      I don’t see any need to risk not having Haaland. You don’t have to captain him.

    4. The Big Fella
      3 years, 24 days ago

      You're not the only one - he is dropping on FPL Statistics. The thing is, when the team really clicks in a couple of weeks when all the players are coming back, he will bang in a hattrick and your OR will suffer.

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

        If I'm up on aggregate by then it would have been the right move to sell.

  13. thegaffer82
    3 years, 24 days ago

    I’m 90% sure I’m gonna wildcard, but I’m not ready to hit the button just yet. My team sucks for next week though if I don’t end up doing it… should I just do it now and grab some price risers….
    …….…Onana*-Turner
    Trip - Udog - Saliba* - Estu* - Kabore*
    Son - Bruno* - Foden* - Saka* - Mbuemo*
    ……. Haaland - Alvarez* - Mubama*
    * = probably out on WC
    I have 10 I’d likely remove there

  14. Bob B
    3 years, 24 days ago

    Johnstone (Turner)
    Trippier Udogie Kabore (Gusto* Botman*)
    Rashford Odegaard Maddison Son Saka*
    Haaland Alvarez (Archer)

    3 flags (down from 5 going into this week).

    Would you save the WC or just look to move out Kabore or Botman?

    1. Bob B
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Gusto*

    2. Swanniie
      3 years, 24 days ago

      I like this team, definitely no need to WC.

  15. Shultan
    3 years, 24 days ago

    Did the motd challenge as was out all day & WC'd
    As a Saka seller I feel like I got away with it there.

    1. Opurist
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Yep. Generous Bukayo did us a favour

  16. Viper
    3 years, 24 days ago

    I feel like price changes are almost forcing the WC on me: Rashford, Chilwell, Beyer, Mbeumo, Pedro, Estupinan, Pickford, Saliba will all drop this week. (potentially Bruno too?)

    Not to mention all the potential risers.

    Think it's worth it based on thd above names alone?

    1. nerd_is_the_werd
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Largely depends on how much you bought them for, and the rest of the team..
      Having 2 Utd midfielders is WC worthy imo.
      They are slowly becoming the new Chelsea...

      1. Viper
        3 years, 24 days ago

        To be fair, the only drops tonight that impact my selling value are Pedro & Rashford but it still stings

        1. LLoris
          3 years, 24 days ago

          How do you know which drops impact your selling price

          1. Opurist
            3 years, 24 days ago

            If you bought at 5.5, you can sell for 0.1 profit at 5.7. If it drops to 5.6, you can't.

  17. FantasyClub
    3 years, 24 days ago

    Read someone’s comment earlier saying JWP played deep. Just watched 9 mins highlights & from that JWP took beautiful positions, just one example like that goal for Bowen would’ve fallen at Prowses feet if not for Bowen…

    1. Rosey Palmer
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Was thinking the same thing seeing that chance. JWP always has quality corners and set piece delivery so can get points any time.

    2. Cilliant
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Same thoughts. I was getting ready to celebrate until Bowen got there first

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

    How’s she looking?

    Areola
    Trippier | Udogie | Cash
    Salah | Son | Saka | Maddison | Neto
    Haaland | Alvarez

    Turner | Archer | Andersen | Lamptey

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

      WC?

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

      Great XI. Horrible bench. The two defenders barely even play.

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

        Also... a - 12?

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

          This is a question, not necessarily a criticism.

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

        You sure Andersen isn't Joachim?

    3. Sheffield Wednesday
      3 years, 24 days ago

      What do you mean?

  19. FantasyClub
    3 years, 24 days ago

    Edouard ➡️ Watkins for free before price rise?
    Or something else ? (have Diaby & Cash)

    Areola/Flekken
    Trippier/Cash/Botman/Estu/Udogie
    Son/Diaby/Mbeumo/Prowse/Saka
    Haaland/Alvarez/ Edouard

  20. FantasyClub
    3 years, 24 days ago

    I quite fancy Flekken in goal vs UTD.
    They can’t score lol

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

      They only blanked once before today, Palace are a well organised side and have top defenders in Andersen and Guehi and Johnstone is proving to be really solid too. ManUtd do have their issues but wasn't a freak result given the circumstances

      1. FantasyClub
        3 years, 24 days ago

        What are you talking about mate.
        They scored 1 against BUR. 1 against BHA. 1 against ARS. 1 against WOL. Lucky against NFO. Zero vs TOT.
        What’re you watching?

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

          "They can't score". Not saying they're good by any means, I'm getting Andersen off the bench for Botman but put him ahead of Colwill and argued for others to play him this week. But you said they can't score which isn't true especially when you're listing games they scored in lol

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

          He's giving Palace their due credit, it saying Man bester United were good.

          Nate is right - they've scored in a every game but one. Comfortably? No. But they have manged goals.

          I actually agree with Nate - not mega surprised by the cleanie, and beleive United could still score vs. Brentford who had had a drop in form themselves.

          1. FantasyClub
            3 years, 24 days ago

            I said I fancy Flekke since they can’t score more than 1 and their woes. Didn’t say a cleanie is guaranteed.

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

              No you didn't, you said "they can't score"

              1. FantasyClub
                3 years, 24 days ago

                Lmao I literally said I “fancy”. Go back

              2. FantasyClub
                3 years, 24 days ago

                And yeah they can’t score

              "I quite fancy Flekken in goal vs UTD.
              They can’t score lol..."

      2. FantasyClub
        3 years, 24 days ago

        They’ve been very lucky. Shouldn’t have had that goal vs WOL either

      3. FantasyClub
        3 years, 24 days ago

        I’m not saying they ain’t gonna score but I wouldn’t put my money on it.

    2. Herger
      3 years, 24 days ago

      It’s Man Utd at the end of the day

  21. Bob B
    3 years, 24 days ago

    A. Gusto to Branthwaite
    B. Botman to Burn
    C. Play Kabore (TOT)

  22. Hanz0
    3 years, 24 days ago

    Who would you rather start next GW?

    A.) Foden (Ars A)
    B.) Mbeumo (Mun A)

    Leaning B currently

    1. FantasyClub
      3 years, 24 days ago

      B

    2. FantasyClub
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Let’s see how Mbeumo fares. His performance vs NFO will decide for you I think

  23. theshazly
    3 years, 24 days ago

    Which transfer shall I do here ??

    1 FT / 1.7 ITB

    Areola ( Turner )
    Estu Cash Botman ( Udogie / Baldock )
    Bowen Saka Mitoma Salah Maddison
    Haaland Alvarez ( Archer )

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

      Think you could roll that potentially, playing Udogie over Botman. Unless we get confirmation Botman misses more than one game. 2FTs over the IB could be very helpful (I'm hoping to have that too but I have a lot of potential issues)

    2. Sheffield Wednesday
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Madds to Son.

  24. sirmorbach
    3 years, 24 days ago

    Saka + Pervis out
    Son + 4.5 in
    - 4

    Tonight as I have exact money.

    Yay or nay?

  25. Luko
    3 years, 24 days ago

    Have not seen many line-ups with Haaland. So here I go with what I’m thinking for my WC:

    Leno, Areola
    Trippier, Estupian, Ream, Andersen, Cash
    Salah, Neto, Saka, Bowen, Son
    Watkins, Alvarez, Edouard

    I really want to hear everyone’s honest thoughts. Haaland has had 2 really good games out of the 7 weeks. Do we really need him to win fellas!?

    1. Luko
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Correction: Meant to say without Haaland.

    2. FantasyClub
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Edouard with that hammy? Long term hold I’m guessing…I’m getting rid. Actually contemplating going without Haaland also, make it a lil more exciting and painful lol

      1. Luko
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Yeah Edouard would just be sitting at the end of the bench until he gets back. He’s a cheap option.

    3. FantasyClub
      3 years, 24 days ago

      I might compromise use his funds to get Salah LIV run starting at EVE

      1. Luko
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Salah does have a nice run starting week 9.He’s been pretty consistent overall, besides this week.

    4. Ravanelli85
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Interesting lineup with Haaland. Takes guts and could pay off.

      1. Luko
        3 years, 24 days ago

        I think it could. Might loose game or two when Halland goes off but I’ll take that chance.

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

      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

      1. Luko
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Thumbs up to that man

  26. The Big Fella
    3 years, 24 days ago

    Newcastle fans: Given that Lascelles is the captain why has he not been playing? Is he more likely to play now Botman is out, are you expecting him to play the next few? Currently have Lamptey on WC as an enabler but could do Lascelles if he will play the next 2-3.

  27. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    3 years, 24 days ago

    Assuming no injuries thoughts on this team - no WC played but would require-4?

    Onana
    Trippier Porro Cash
    Son(c) Maddison Mbeumo Sterling Bruno F
    Haaland Alvarez

    Turner Archer Estupinan Kabore

  28. Viper
    3 years, 24 days ago

    WC?

    Pickford Turner

    Saliba Estupinan Botman Chilwell Beyer

    Bruno Rashford Mbeumo Son Maddison

    Haaland Alvarez Pedro

    1. Luko
      3 years, 24 days ago

      I wouldn’t go with both Bruno and Rashford. Would go with one of them.

      1. Viper
        3 years, 24 days ago

        You think a wildcard is necessary here? Not sure who I would sell only Rashford for without doing a bit of surgery to squeeze Salah in

        1. Luko

          Yeah I think you do need it. I think there’s also better options besides Bruno, Rashford, Mbeumo, Chilwell. I’m myself getting rid of Bruno.

      Hmmm borderline. I have just done it and had a similarly borderline team. From this I would get rid of Pickford (shouldn't have been there to begin with), Estupinan, Chillwell, Botman, Beyer, Bruno, Rashford Mbeumo, and Pedro. That doesn't mean they're all priorities to get out all at once, but if I had a WC active with this team that's who I would shift. How many would you shift if you did WC?

        I should add I started with Pickford, but got rid after 2 GWs, and I had Saliba, but got rid tonight because I needed the cash.

        Fully agree here. I think you can keep Estupin.

        Just pulled the trigger, massive price swings and I'd probably be picking a similar team in the next gameweek or two anyway

    After deliberating all evening, I can confirm that it feels fantastic to have wildcarded Jordan Pickford out

      Did the same. Judging by fpls, it will likely be .8 swing if I had not pulled the trigger. Madness.

      Feels good but now fully expecting him to get a clean sheet v Bournemouth.

    Stoked to have got into the top 50k in the world. Went Salah to Son tonight, I think Salah is too expensive and Son's in great form. Possibly captain him next week. I got rid of Trippier last week which I regret to finance Odegaard to Salah. Regret that massively, could have been such a good week ha.
