    Nottingham Forrest vs Luton and Sheffield Utd vs Manchester Utd possible postponements.
    For those who aren't too aware of the potential postponements, I'll give you a very basic idea of how these things often work in Blighty.
    In extreme weather the powers that be need to take a few things in to account.
    -Firstly, obviously the weather and what they think is going to happen in the future. Whilst at the same time looking at what the immediate is like. Currently the rain is heavy in the 2 areas of concern for todays PL matches with plenty more to come.
    -Secondly, what the surrounding areas of the grounds are like, what condition are things in. Are there road closures? Is it dangerous? How close are they to a potential major hazard? Well just like with yesterdays postponed game, these 2 grounds are close to a river that could burst. Nottingham FC is literally on the river as Rotherham is. If it bursts the game is definitely off. In Sheffield, the stadium is a bout a mile and a half away, but if surrounding areas flood, it may as well be on the river, such will be the impact.
    -Thirdly, what the playing area is like. Most PL pitches are incredibly well looked after in every way, so weather isn't usually much of an issue, but in extreme circumstances the conditions can just be too much.
    -Timing. They have the unenviable job of trying to balance giving people enough time to change their plans if the game is called off vs not wanting to cancel such a big event as its hard to reschedule and don't want to disappoint for no reason. Usually this is about 3-4 hours before kick off. If 4 hours it’ll be right on deadline.

      Scenes if there are postponements. I have been shifting between Areola and Turner over the last couple of days. Looks like it will be Areola.

        2 years, 2 months ago

        Not sure it's worth the risk. However the worst of the rain should finish soon.

        1. FOO FIGHTER
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Looks like Forest Vs Luton is going ahead.

      Good work Rupert. Those non Blighty chappies will find this useful.

        Thanks bud.

      Both Nottingham and Sheffield have drizzle this morning then clear the rest of that day. Reckon it’ll be fine

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Yes I've seen, fingers crossed it moves away as is now predicted.

      I haven’t been following the weather news as it’s always overhyped in the UK. My guess is it’s extremely unlikely that the rivers burst their banks but as I say I haven’t paid any attention

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Top stuff! Well done.

      Good time to plug the shipping forecast too - always love a bit of light to variable mainly good

    6. Hooky
      • 10 Years

      They called off the Rotherham v Ipswich game 3 hours before kick off yesterday so they don't give much thought to travelling away fans. Pitch was perfectly playable but the roads near the ground were flooded. I personally think they should have just hired a load of canoes to get people to the ground.

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah, like I said, it's a tough job, especially when giving 3-4 hours. Obviously that's nothing for Newcastle fans going to Bournemouth but its something of a closer affair.

          That's the standard amount of notice as they try the hardest to allow circumstances to change

    8. DandyDon
      • 7 Years

      Putting a lot of faith in Rashford for this game before I likely sell next week so would be more incredible bad luck for me this season if game postponed

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Looking like the storm is shifting away now so you should be fine.

    Pickford/Turner
    Porro, trippier, udogie (botman*, beyer*)
    Sterling, saka*, rashford, Bruno, foden
    Haaland, Alvarez (Morris)

    A. Saka to Jota
    B. Sterling to Kulusevski/Richarlison
    C. Keep
    D. Play Morris

    1 ft, 0 itb. Wildcard likely next week

    1. abaalan
      • 9 Years

      Reading the above maybe i should stock up my bench if MU dont play...

      Cash

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

    A) Son > Saka
    B) Maddison > Bowen
    C) Son + Mitoma > Saka + Bowen
    D) Other suggestions?

  5. XX SMICER XX
    • 7 Years

    Would anyone start Dalot over Cash?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Yes, for this game I would.

    2. The Knights Template

      Yes.

  6. Jdpz
    • 5 Years

    I have midfield:
    Odegaard Saka Rashford MBeumo Sterling

    and 1Free Transfer - 2.2m itb.
    Best idea?
    Who to sell? Who tu buy? Diaz, Bowen, Diaby, Mitoma...?

  7. No Salah
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Bench one
    Mbeumo or Cash

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Cash. This is Mbeumo's last call. Sell him nest week.

  8. Harold99
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Play Cash or Tsimikas? Cash seems to be to be the easy option being nailed and having good underlying attacking stats but in terms of fixture upside Liverpool v Everton is much better in terms of both attacking stat and CS potential. No idea which way to go lol

    1. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Tsimikas if confirmed / confirmed he starts

    Some good info in the area around the City Ground (Forest v Luton)

    "Path under Trent Bridge will need blocking off as now under water but the one on the other side is ok. Everything being set up as normal match day but plenty of localised flooding and transport issues that play yet cause an issue. Groundsmen rolling pitch. It’s looking good!"

    2. Die Hard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I’d keep Gusto, but appreciate his fixtures are horrendous. Do you lose value in selling Gusto?

      1. Jullepuu
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Well I got him for 4.0 so techinacally I would gain 0.1 but of course if I want to get him back later on I will loose 0.1

    Morning folks.

    GW10 planning

    I will need to make 2 transfers before I can afford Wissa > Darwin or I can do Isak > Darwin next week for free. Is this a better move with fixtures in mind or focus on Chilwell > Cash or Mbuemo > Diaby instead?

  26. Letsgo!

  27. have you seen cyan
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    I made some interesting decisions this week:

    Salah cap
    Playing Stakosha over Areola
    Did Saka > Ode for free

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Differential week! I have had Ødegaard from the beginning and he has been ticking along nicely. Good luck.

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Nice ty u 2

    2. C'mon the Fylde
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Will you be bringing Saka in next gw?
      The 0.3m loss of value puts me off selling.

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Nah

      2. The Mentaculus
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        How can you lose 0.3m? He's at 8.5 from a high of 8.7

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          yea I thought that yesterday, it was a straight swap for me and I lost nothing.
          TBH its a massive sideways move, but I cant have Saka benched again. Ode possibly on away pens and he braced vs Chelsea last time.

    3. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Flekken is back from illness so you don't have a choice with GKs

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years

        oh is he 🙁

        1. The Mentaculus
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          I still might play Leno over him. Lost confidence in Brentford defence

  28. DandyDon
    • 7 Years

    Is Botman to a Schar worth a -4. Or play Saliba

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      No, play Saliba
