    I thought Diaby was supposed to be injured.

    1. Goat
      3 years, 18 days ago

      He hasn’t trained this week anyway

    2. Saka White Rice
      3 years, 18 days ago

      Who said he wasnt

      1. Rupert The Horse

        3 years, 18 days ago

        Well, do you not think the article title alludes to the fact that he isn’t?

    3. G-Whizz

      My understanding is that he was only ruled out of their European fixture...

      I'm waiting for their press conference to find out if he'sgot any chance of startingat the weekend 🙂

      Ruled out for midweek but could be available this weekend so need to see what Emery says today

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        3 years, 18 days ago

        Will he have a presser today? Figured we'd just have embargoed comments from a post-game presser from last night

          Emery has always in the past held a press conference on the Friday after they have played in Europe...

          1. Nate(U)dog(ie)

            Thanks!

    Someone please give me a defender that will keep a clean sheet this week.

    Can’t be Spurs, Utd or Tarkowski

    1. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 18 days ago

      Palace for me.

      1. Goat
        3 years, 18 days ago

        Good shout

      2. Wynkyn
        3 years, 18 days ago

        The last team to keep a clean sheet va Forest in the league was Man U in April. All Palace’s best attackers are injured. Could well be a Roy Hodgson defensive masterclass but it doesnt seem like a banker to me.

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      3 years, 18 days ago

      Bournemouth have three good fixtures in a row. I know it is Bournemouth but Kerkez is a decent option.

      1. skeyrd
        3 years, 18 days ago

        Good shout. I concur

    3. Botman and Robben

      Trippier, Lascelles, Schar, Burn 🙂

        3 years, 18 days ago

        Not this week, pardon my bias, but West Ham are scoring imo...

      1. Goat
        3 years, 18 days ago

        Hmmm. With those percentages I might just start Mitoma and roll transfer. Thanks

    5. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Andersen.

  3. fplchampzzz
    3 years, 18 days ago

    Go Haaland-less in a WC team?

    1. Branch Warren
      3 years, 18 days ago

      no

      1. fplchampzzz
        3 years, 18 days ago

        Without Haaland, I can make a team with Salah, BrunoF, Maddison, Son, Watkins, Darwin, Hojlund

        1. Saka White Rice
          3 years, 18 days ago

          Why would you want Bruno? And yeah of course that's because you don't have haaland.

          1. fplchampzzz
            3 years, 18 days ago

            Because of Man Utd's fixtures and I can change him to Saka in 2 game weeks' time. My thinking is if I'm not going to captain Haaland, then my upside will be higher

            1. Saka White Rice
              3 years, 18 days ago

              You sure you don't want to captain Haaland against Brighton at home? The biggest problem is when you want Haaland back what on earth are you going to do? Take 3 to 4 transfers to bring him back?

              1. fplchampzzz
                3 years, 18 days ago

                I have 2.5 in the bank. And yes, have to do 3 transfers if I want him back, which I will have to plan over weeks. Currently it will be around week 15.

                I can captain Salah, Spurs or Man Utd that week. Of course, Haaland is still Haaland and can grab a hattrick against Brighton

                1. Saka White Rice
                  3 years, 18 days ago

                  Well at least you have a plan. I'm certainly can pay off it deoenda how risky you are as a manager. I wouldn't go Bruno on a WC regardless of fixtures. This is my team.

                  Areola Turner
                  Burn Cash Udogie (Botman Kabore)
                  Salah Son Maddison Bowen Diaby
                  Haaland Watkins (Archer)

                  Only player I'm scared of missing out is Darwin/Alvarez

                  1. fplchampzzz
                    3 years, 18 days ago

                    WC team?

                    My team is not that different. Main difference being Haaland, and I can't seem to let Trippier go. If I can, maybe I can find a way to fit Haaland back in.

                    Areola Turner
                    Trippier Cash Porro (Lamptey Kabore)
                    Salah Son Maddison Bruno (Nakamba)
                    Darwin Hojlund Watkins

                    1. Saka White Rice
                      3 years, 18 days ago

                      Its a decent team I understand the Hojlund pun but not Bruno. And I think Trippier surely can't keep up this rate his easiest fixtures are now gone. You can go cheaper in defense but can't as easily go cheaper in attack.

                      1. fplchampzzz
                        3 years, 18 days ago

                        Good point on Trippier. I will play around with the additional cash then.

                        I feel if Man Utd gonna do well, half the effort must come from Bruno. If I'm punting on Man Utd's attack, I might as well go all in.

        2. dandalf
          3 years, 18 days ago

          Do you really think owning Bruno and Hojlund is worth going without Haaland?

          1. fplchampzzz
            3 years, 18 days ago

            Yes, I feel worth a gamble. Man Utd are rock bottom now. And I'm chasing.

            1. FPL Blow-In
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              3 years, 18 days ago

              I hope you’re right as I still own Onana, Rashford and Hojlund. Rashford looks absolutely shot of confidence though.

              1. fplchampzzz
                3 years, 18 days ago

                Rash doesn't seem like he will last the full game. Man Utd defence is still shitty though. I just hope they can compensate with some goals. My feel is they gonna start winning games with these fixtures

                1. HD7
                  3 years, 18 days ago

                  I thought like this after they won vs Palace for the Carabao.That they would go on a run. Lets hope that they will turn it around in the next games and be consistent

          Why ask the question then lol

    2. Three Pints of Schlager
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 18 days ago

      Yes

    3. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      3 years, 18 days ago

      Yes - If you are chasing or want to try and keep ahead of the curve IMO.
      The majority of all wildcard teams will be very similar. But there is noticeably a slow trickle of Haaland sales.
      If you had Alvarez at his early price it might help make the decision to sell.

    4. StuartSoccerStars
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 18 days ago

      Yes, I’m thinking the same. Frees up cash to spend elsewhere including Salah.

  4. Atimis
    3 years, 18 days ago

    My WC is down to the below, thoughts?

    - Porro Burn Diaz/Bowen/someone else in this price bracket

    - Udogie Tripp Neto/Douglas Luiz/someone else in this price bracket

    Tripps super form gives me a proper headache while I'm not really sure if the next two games are actually good for Bowen, Diaz kind of hit or miss (?)

  5. House Frey Wedding Planner
    3 years, 18 days ago

    Tempted to go with Salah over Son as captain.

    Think Luton will set up with a low block and try to stifle Spurs similar to how Sheffield United played them. Think Spurs will still win but it won't be the landslide many are predicting.

    Brighton are leaking goals and generally set up the same way irrespective of the opposition. Liverpool will have fire in their eyes after last week's controversy.

    And then the Saturday early kick off curse working against Son.

    1. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 18 days ago

      I basically agree with this. I don't think Spurs are going to rout Luton at all.

      1. boc610
        3 years, 18 days ago

        the other thing to consider is brighton are just a way better team than luton and luton mght play a low block but not be very good at doing it because of the quality of their players.

        1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
          3 years, 18 days ago

          This is another factor too, along with Brighton's decent record against the top 6 and Liverpool in particular

      2. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        3 years, 18 days ago

        I think it all depends on whether or not Spurs can get an early goal. If Spurs score early, Luton can only sit back for so long before going for it.

    2. Atimis
      3 years, 18 days ago

      Early kick off bothers me the most

    3. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      3 years, 18 days ago

      I'm considering it too (although I'm on Maddison instead of Son). My only worry really is Salah being more of a creator for Diaz and Nunez now, especially as they and others are regularly missing chances he's setting up for them. Great that he's creating so much but a bit like with someone like Eze, if it's not transferring into points because of those around him then the ceiling drops significantly

    4. FOO FIGHTER
      3 years, 18 days ago

      Luton will concede but at home they are not walkovers.

    5. Rogue Todd
      3 years, 18 days ago

      Salah and Son a 50/50 for me, with Haaland a distant 3rd.

    6. WVA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 18 days ago

      Brighton love beating the big boys

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        3 years, 18 days ago

        They also enjoy conceding goals, for fun.

    7. WVA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 18 days ago

      Salah ceiling 10
      Son 20

    8. Three Pints of Schlager
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 18 days ago

      I just hate to play the Captain in the first game of the GW. Can be good but usually it ruins the rest of the weekend.

      BHA with the disadvantage of travelling and playing all their assets including Lamptey over 90min.

      Salah, Darwin and Diaz each only played 45min at home. They should be ready to make BHA pay for the VAR fun last weekend. Salah and Darwin should benefit from returning TAA as they have done before. And Estu is missing which will leave Lamptey on his own to stop the machinery.

      I think Salah is the better pick over Son who is usually stronger at home when the floodlights are on. But still close.

  6. Klopp it
    3 years, 18 days ago

    Best 4.5 defender?

    1. Vazza
      3 years, 18 days ago

      Two choices: -

      A. Follow the content creators some of which have given up their full time jobs so that can focus on FPL and go for whatever they are suggesting.

      B. Use your own judgement and go for Van de ven, which is who I am picking this week

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      3 years, 18 days ago

      Colwill if you can stretch the 0.1

    3. Banana Boat

      Coufal

  7. Tmel
    3 years, 18 days ago

    On draft FPL would you waiver out Awoniyi to bring in N Jackson?

    1. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 18 days ago

      Both are very consistent but only one of them in a positive way. It’s a no from me.

      1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        3 years, 18 days ago

        Awoniyi not consistent in a positive way???? Awoniyi has been on long streak of FPL returns stretching back to last season gw35
        (Last season Awoniyi https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/taiwo-awoniyi/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/295313/plus/0?saison=2022&verein=703&liga=&wettbewerb=GB1&pos=&trainer_id=)
        up to gameweek 5 this season. Those two fixtures he did not get returns in were gw6 and 7 v City and Brentford.

        Is it because Awoniyi plays for Forest you assume he is not worth FPL consideration?
        Palace and Luton in the next two as well

        1. Rasping Drive
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          3 years, 18 days ago

          The poster is asking whether he should bring in Jackson in place of Awoniyi, not the other way around. Do you work for VAR?

          1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
            3 years, 18 days ago

            True. But you said BOTH are not positively consistent (Awoniyi - Jackson) which is clearly incorrect. It should be you who is working for VAR methinks.

          2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…

            Apologises I misread your post.

  9. MetallicaJack93
    3 years, 18 days ago

    For a hit, would you go?

    Saka to Bowen
    Saka to Neto

    Planning to remove Gilmour with funds from Saka downgrade after IB

    Current team is

    Ederson (Areola)
    Trippier Cash Anderson Udogie (Lamptey)
    Saka* Salah Madison (Gilmour Chuk)
    Haaland Alvarez Haaland

    1. The Biscuitmen
      3 years, 18 days ago

      Saka to Diaz?

      1. The Biscuitmen
        3 years, 18 days ago

        Sorry, missed the hit. I wouldn't do it for a hit.

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 18 days ago

      I wouldn't hit Saka out for 1 week.

      he might even feature?

      1. G-Whizz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        3 years, 18 days ago

        He's gone for me, may even not bother getting him back for GW10/12...

  10. Junks
    3 years, 18 days ago

    I foolishly took out Watkins two GWs back which hurt.... a lot! Do i swallow my pride and get him back in or go Diaby??

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 18 days ago

      one or the other

      wait for any news after lunch time

  11. Jonta83
    3 years, 18 days ago

    Thoughts on my WC? 0.1 in the bank..

    Sanchez - Turner
    Cash, Porro, Burn, (Beyer, Lamptey)
    Salah, Son, Saka, Bowen, Neto
    Haaland, Alvarez (Archer)

    Much appreciated!

    1. The Biscuitmen
      3 years, 18 days ago

      I'd probably want a 2nd Liverpool player. Maybe Saka out for a bit with an eye to getting him back in a few weeks?

  12. Bobby_Baggio
    3 years, 18 days ago

    Morning all. 1 FT & 0.3m ITB. Thinking Estu > Cash & Bell > Guehi will be for -4.

    Sanchez
    Botman - Etsu - Udogie
    Salah - Maddison - Rashford - Saka
    Alvarez - Haaland - Archer

    (Turner) - Gordon - Beyer - Bell

    1. Bobby_Baggio
      3 years, 18 days ago

      Could do Estu > Digne which will allow Rash > Son

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        3 years, 18 days ago

        that seems more sensible if you think that Digne is secure.

        any interest in Andersen?

        1. Bobby_Baggio
          3 years, 18 days ago

          yep looked at him i just like villa from an attacking threat - palace not so much

          1. AC/DC AFC
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            3 years, 18 days ago

            Andersen will nod some goals in but yep, Cash looks good but a route to Son is better.

  13. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    3 years, 18 days ago

    Hi folks, I’m planning WC for gw9 over the IB. I’ve not taken a hit to date but not adverse to it for my defence this week. Any suggestions?

    Onana,
    Trippier, Walker, White
    Son, Rashford, Maddison, Mitoma
    Haaland, Hojlund, Alvarez

    Turner, Sarr, Kabore, Estupinan 0ft .2 itb

    Thank you

    1. fplchampzzz
      3 years, 18 days ago

      Haaland-less!

      If you are going without Haaland, remove Alvarez. Go all in!

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        3 years, 18 days ago

        No this is my normal team, not WC team. No Haaland is not necessary for me but I’ll consider it when I WC

    2. WVA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 18 days ago

      Triple United! Looks okay though

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        3 years, 18 days ago

        I’ve had it for weeks… always had another priority to sort. I’m looking at Estu to Digne/Cash for -4 as a punt before WC? Worth it?

    3. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 18 days ago

      no hit in defence.

      still set on Rashford for this week?

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        With my defence as it is if I were to take a hit it would be there. It’s just this gameweek until WC so no, I’m not confident in Rashford, but home game v Brentford is not the week to take a hit to move out.

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          3 years, 18 days ago

          fair play but if your defence are all available that's fine to roll.

          unless you think one is likely to miss out?

          Is Son confirmed okay...

          1. FPL Blow-In
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            3 years, 18 days ago

            No, not that I’m aware of. That would be very annoying if he is definitely out.

            1. AC/DC AFC
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              3 years, 18 days ago

              I think he's okay, but just having the bench cover in case someone misses out.

              it's not just injury, it's illness too at this time of year.

  14. WVA
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    3 years, 18 days ago

    Bruno haul this week?

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 18 days ago

      it's possible but is it likely?

      Sterling too. Eventually you've just got to bite the bullet.

      I should have hit Sterling to Bowen last week but I've left a path back to Saka instead.

    2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      3 years, 18 days ago

      Why is Bruno planning a fishing trip off the coast of Portugal?

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        3 years, 18 days ago

        sword fish around?

  15. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    3 years, 18 days ago

    Martinez
    Gabriel Cash Udogie
    Salah Son Diaby Sterling Mbeumo
    Haaland Alvarez

    Turner. Estu. Gusto Simms

    £0.7m itb.

    1 FT.

    If Diaby looks okay is the sensible play to do Estu to Andersen, bench Gabriel and save some cash?

    That affords Sterling and Mbeumo to Saka and Gordon next week for a hit.

    Or something else? 3 flags on my bench and wildcard intact.

    1. NoName
      3 years, 18 days ago

      The first option. Estupinan is a fire that needs to be put out anyway.

    2. SharkyT
      3 years, 18 days ago

      Estu to Porro

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        3 years, 18 days ago

        double Spurs defence for the foreseeable?

        for attacking returns...

  16. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    3 years, 18 days ago

    Not really seeing too many GW 8 Wildcards making room for Saka and Brighton players to bring in GW10

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 18 days ago

      there is this ...

    2. Rogue Todd
      3 years, 18 days ago

      Will have 2 FT by then, but yes WC planning is very short term nowadays - many seem to play it like a free hit!

    3. FOO FIGHTER
      3 years, 18 days ago

      My plan is just to keep Saka.

    4. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      3 years, 18 days ago

      Not wildcarding - but I am wary of no Saka gw10

      So will likely be Haaland out to get Saka and Watkins

      OR
      Stick with Haaland and get Mitoma/JWP and Foster

      If I knew Mitoma would start the decision would be a lot easier.

    5. The Mentaculus
      3 years, 18 days ago

      Yeah a lot of the Salah/Son/Haaland WC teams just look to me like they have very little flexibility in midfield

  17. Norco
    3 years, 18 days ago

    GTG and be content that maybe Archer/Kabore may be needed to come in? Or do I take a -4 incase Diaby or Saka don't play?

    Areola (Flekken)
    Schar Udogie Joachim
    Salah Son JWP Saka* Diaby*
    Halaand Alvarez

    Archer Kabore Botman

    Options:
    1. No hit
    2. Botman > Cash (exact money) for -4
    3. Saka > Maddo / Diaz / 8.9 for -4
    4. Diaby > 6.6m (not really anyone to go to...) for -4

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 18 days ago

      1 or 3

      if Saka is out it's tempting to put the money into play but only if you don't want him back right away?

      1. Andrew
        3 years, 18 days ago

        Problem is Arteta will probably just say he will have a late fitness test so we will be none the wiser.

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          3 years, 18 days ago

          true, but if he's available it may well be a late fitness test.

          the real question is if he's out is it only for the Man City game?

  18. NoName

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 18 days ago

      A

      but it may not pay back at Wolves unless there's an attacking return for Cash.

      Any help above too?

    2. NoName
      3 years, 18 days ago

      A

  20. Mane Mane Mane
    3 years, 18 days ago

    Is Porro worth the extra 0.3m compared to Udogie?

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      3 years, 18 days ago

      Yes

    2. Sailboats
      3 years, 18 days ago

      I would say yes.

    3. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 18 days ago

      Yes xG

    4. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 18 days ago

      yes

      well he was the 0.2 so I guess 0.3 doesn't really matter.

    5. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      3 years, 18 days ago

      Potentially yes, he's been very good. But I've seen people using the last 2 games as deciding factors and it seems unfair given Udogie was faced with Saka one week followed by Salah. Porro inversely was faced with Jesus (not a left winger) and Diaz (obviously very good but when Liverpool still had 11 Jones actually seemed to be marginally higher than him). Luton are also conceding a fair few chances on their right side

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        3 years, 18 days ago

        fair points and a good observation as always.

        1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
          3 years, 18 days ago

          Not an impartial username though! In fairness I thought Udogie was unlucky not to get something v Liverpool as it was.

          1. AC/DC AFC
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            3 years, 18 days ago

            I think he's evolved into that this season!

            1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
              3 years, 18 days ago

              Correct! It fit into my usual name far too well

              1. AC/DC AFC
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                3 years, 18 days ago

                Nate Dog.

      2. NoName
        3 years, 18 days ago

        I also think Udogie's link up play with Maddison is being overlooked. Kulusevski has a tendency to hold onto the ball longer than he should.

        1. boc610

          plus his name is 'Destiny'

  21. Weak Become Heros
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    3 years, 18 days ago

    Amazed so many people getting rid of Alvarez for Watkins.

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 18 days ago

      Alvarez is a mainstay unless injured for me. Both alongside Haaland is the way I reckon

    2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      3 years, 18 days ago

      I would have both if I could over a Haaland team.

      Plus I got Alvarez at 6.5m too much value in him to sell. Easier to sell Haaland,
      It will be interesting if Haaland does not set the world alight gw8 will his price drop?
      He is already on -41 on Fantasy Football Fix pricing.

  22. aapoman
    3 years, 18 days ago

    Worth downgrading Mbeumo for -4 to afford Cash over Pau?

    1. Sailboats
      3 years, 18 days ago

      Depends who you buy. Neto?

    2. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 18 days ago

      Cash i head and shoulders above Pau.

    3. The Biscuitmen
      3 years, 18 days ago

      Not right now. Think he could still be useful for a few more games

  23. Sailboats
    3 years, 18 days ago

    Which is the better option? For 1 GW only, I will WC GW 9.

    1- Almiron (away to West Ham)
    2- Diaby (away to Wolves)
    3- Luiz Diaz (away to Brighton)

    Thanks in advance all.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 18 days ago

      3

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 18 days ago

      probably

      3
      2
      1

      but Almiron is this week's midfield auto-select.

    3. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 18 days ago

      2 if fit. If dodgy then go 3.

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        3 years, 18 days ago

        this week only, think Villa have only beaten Wolves once in recent league games so Brighton probably more open for Liverpool?

        1. Sailboats
          3 years, 18 days ago

          Yes, its what im thinking too. Brighton are very leaky.

    4. RAFA THE GAFFA
      3 years, 18 days ago

      3 imo

      1. Sailboats
        3 years, 18 days ago

        Thanks everyone. Looks like 3 it is.

    5. Banana Boat
      3 years, 18 days ago

      3

  24. dansmith1985
    3 years, 18 days ago

    If I have 0.5 spare bank should I switch Udogie to Porro or just save it?

    1. Sailboats
      3 years, 18 days ago

      I would switch only if on Wildcard.

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      3 years, 18 days ago

      Save for this week at least I'd say, Luton are vulnerable down their right flank

  25. Klopp it
    3 years, 18 days ago

    To go without Salah and haaland on a wildcard as to be crazy right?

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 18 days ago

      yep

  26. afsr
    3 years, 18 days ago

    Which WC draft is best:

    A:
    Areola, Turner
    Trippier, Cash, Porro, Lamptey, Taylor
    Salah, Son, Maddison, Palmer, Chukwuemeka
    Haaland, Alvarez, Watkins
    0.0 ITB

    B:
    Areola, Turner
    Burn, Cash, Porro, Lamptey, Gabriel
    Salah, Son, Maddison, Neto, Chukwuemeka
    Haaland, Alvarez, Watkins
    0.5 ITB

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      3 years, 18 days ago

      It’ll have to B I guess. Mayaswel get Taylor in B over Lamptey

    2. afsr
      3 years, 18 days ago

      what about
      Porro -> Udogie
      Neto -> Almiron
      Chukwuemeka -> Anderson

  27. RAFA THE GAFFA
    3 years, 18 days ago

    Morning all. So, Salah or no Salah WC draft? Ode could be or will become Saka in A.

    A. Porro+Trippier+Ødegaard+Watkins
    B. Udog+Burn+Salah+Diaby

    Areola Turner
    
Cash Guehi Taylor X X
    Son Maddison Bowen
 X
    Alvarez Haaland X

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 18 days ago

      3/4 better in A but Salah is better than Ode and is a captaincy option. Both good options, tough one for sure.

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        3 years, 18 days ago

        Agree yes. Very hard call. I was all set for no Salah but Saka injury changed my mind. Seems everyone is certain Salah goes wild the next period

        1. FPL Blow-In
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          3 years, 18 days ago

          I think I’m going to consider Diaz and Nunez instead of Salah when in WC

    2. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 18 days ago

      Salah draft for me

    3. NoName
      3 years, 18 days ago

      B. Salah also offers a captaincy option in the short term, if going against Haaland.

    4. G-Whizz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      3 years, 18 days ago

      You not got an easier question than this? 😆

      I went with B on my GW6 Wildcard but A is mighty tempting ngl!

      Do you have a plan to get any Liverpool assets if you go with A?

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        3 years, 18 days ago

        Thank you. I guess Odegaard could be Diaz and MITB. Salah is just so expensive haha! Not certain I trust him still

  28. OverTinker
    3 years, 18 days ago

    Don't understand why content creators need to put cringe thumbnails almost all the time.

    1. Rbyrne95
      3 years, 18 days ago

      Whole marketing aspect of YouTube tbh; if you don’t have fornite bright font and a facial expression like you’ve been probed in every thumbnail then there’s not enough views in it for you apparently.

    2. Arteta
      3 years, 18 days ago

      They are trying to attract the audience, get those clicks, views, and likes, and earn some money with adds as well.

    3. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      3 years, 18 days ago

      I heard rumours FPL Virgin is the cause of those faces, just below the thumbnail screenshot.
      Apparently helps the youtube algorithm, or something.

    4. Rogue Todd
      3 years, 18 days ago

      Because they are moraleless snake oil salesmen

  29. Rbyrne95
    3 years, 18 days ago

    Hey folks, think this is worth a wildcard?

    Have a few players I want to get in and issues sorted e.g. Trippier feels a must, Spurs def, Maddison, possibly Bowen, Liverpool 2nd Attacker, Watkins,

    OFT, 0.6itb
    Johnstone
    Walker - Cash - Kabore
    Son-Salah-Saka-Diaby-Mbuemo
    Alvarez-Haaland

    Turner - Archer - Botman - Gusto

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 18 days ago

      If Saka is out I’d nearly say yes. You could

      1. Rbyrne95
        3 years, 18 days ago

        Ahh thought Saka would still manage to play. Is the Arsenal presser today?

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          3 years, 18 days ago

          most are at 1.30pm but last Friday it was 9.30am for Arteta I think.

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      3 years, 18 days ago

      Try put a WC together with all those you want and then decide. (It’s very difficult to have that lot).

      1. Rbyrne95
        3 years, 18 days ago

        Yeah, I will do that’s the sensible shout. Ain’t no way I’d fit everyone in

    3. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 18 days ago

      save your wildcard.

      if Saka is out you could temporarily switch to Maddison.

      1. Rbyrne95
        3 years, 18 days ago

        Reckon Maddison is worth the hit?…

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          3 years, 18 days ago

          possibly at Luton if Saka is ruled out

          it's more tempting to free up bigger chunks of cash and there's not much value to lose going back to Saka soon.

  30. Flynny
    3 years, 18 days ago

    Who to have on wildcard please?

    A....guehi (start him this week v forest and bench burn)

    B....gabriel. more of a long term option. Bench this week and play burn v west ham

    Thanks
