    First

    1. _Ninja_
      3 years, 14 days ago

      Absolutely outstanding, well played.

  2. Andrew D48
    3 years, 14 days ago

    I have 2 FT is Maddison to Saka a must ?

    1. Crunchie
      3 years, 14 days ago

      I prefer it, you only need one of Spurs/Madders IMO

      1. Andrew D48
        3 years, 14 days ago

        Cheers Crunchie just that Maddison was excellent v Fulham

    2. VGD
      3 years, 14 days ago

      No, but if you have no pressing issues in your team might as well

  3. Jones Kusi
    3 years, 14 days ago

    Thoughts on Neto, Maddison > Palmer, Saka?

    1. Andrew D48
      3 years, 14 days ago

      I have same dilemma and reluctant to do it

      1. Jones Kusi
        3 years, 14 days ago

        It sucks to lose Maddison but I do have Son and no ARS players

        1. Andrew D48
          3 years, 14 days ago

          I’m in the same boat yeah Arsenal players are needed

    2. Crunchie
      3 years, 14 days ago

      Yes. I still see Arsnenal scoring against Newcastle. It will just be a very tight game.

  4. Klatrewill

    Hi!

    What would you do? Got 2 FTs

    Gabriel - porro - trippier - Andersen - cash
    Son - maddison - Bowen - saka - 4.3 fodder
    Alvarez - Darwin - haaland

    Thanks for answers!

    1. Meechum
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 14 days ago

      Can Darwin and try and manage Watkins into the team

  5. OptimusBlack
    3 years, 14 days ago

    Which It's better to have ?

    A- Mitoma 6.5 & (Anderson) 4.4
    10.9 Anderson always on bench

    B- Gordon 5.6 & Palmer 5
    10.6 Rotate between them based on Fixtures . (Good Bench)

    PS: B Would get
    Gordon or Neto Or Douglas Luiz

    1. Crunchie
      3 years, 14 days ago

      A

    2. Boxwoods

    How's this for a non-Haaland WC draft?

    Areola

    Trippier - Gabriel - Tsimikas

    Salah (v) - Saka - Maddison - Son - Bowen

    Watkins (C) - Alvarez

    subs: Johnstone - Edouard - Guehi - Taylor

    1. Crunchie
      3 years, 14 days ago

      Template non Haaland draft. a good one

  7. DataVoyager
    3 years, 14 days ago

    Areola Turner
    Cash Gusto Walker Trippier Udogie
    Saka Mitoma Longstaff Maddison Son
    Wakins Alvarez Haaland

    How do I improve this team with 2 free transfers?

    Thanks in advance!

    Contemplating getting rid of Haaland on WC as want Salah and cant strike a nice balance with both. Is this FPL suicide?

    1. Meechum
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 14 days ago

      Go for Salah.

    2. VGD
      3 years, 14 days ago

      I did it and rose 1+ million the week I ditched him. Would recommend.

    New community article, my regular roundup of mini-leagues and community competitions, including news of our new world number one and the increasing popularity among the top fifty of going without Haaland:

  10. MetallicaJack93
    3 years, 14 days ago

    Would you take out Maddison to get Bowen for a hit? Rest of attack is Salah, Saka, Watkins, Haaland, Alvarez

    1. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 14 days ago

      Id hold

    2. _Ninja_
      3 years, 14 days ago

      Nah

    3. Sure You Did
      3 years, 14 days ago

      Wouldn't even do it for free.

  11. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    3 years, 14 days ago

    Plan has been to get Salah this GW
    After a 98 point GW would you take a 4 point hit?
    2 FT
    1.2 bank
    Alisson-Areola
    Burn-Cash-Udogie-Estupiñán-Tavares
    Son-Saka-Maddison-Mbeumo-JWP
    Haaland-Alvarez-Watkins

    Alisson to 3.9
    Son to Salah
    Mbeumo to 5.9 mid (DLuiz) 0.4 bank
    Mbeumo to 5.9 mid (Palmer) 0.9 bank

    JWP rotates well with Palmer bad matchups

    1. Crunchie
      3 years, 14 days ago

      You need Salah. Prefer Palmer to D Liuz due to YC's but missing away to Forest isn't the end of the world

    2. VGD
      3 years, 14 days ago

      Could get Soucek instead as he's been more attacking recently.

  12. sk018
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    3 years, 14 days ago

    Working on how to get Saka in… (team looking good)

    2FT

    A) Son & Neto -> Saka & Mitoma
    B) Madisson & Porro -> Saka & Tsimikas
    C) Madisson & Neto -> Saka & Adingra
    D) Wait two gwks for Saka and only spend one FT on sidestep move

  13. Crunchie
    3 years, 14 days ago

    B or C

    1. Botman and Robben
      3 years, 14 days ago

      D

  14. The Philosopher
    3 years, 14 days ago

    Lose one for Saka

    A: Son
    B: Maddison

    Bench one

    C: Udogie
    D: Trippier
    E: Cash
    F: Gabriel

        B and C are the only way

  15. Nespinha

    What are the chances of Haaland starting tonight?

    1. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 14 days ago

      High

  16. oi no professionals
    3 years, 14 days ago

    Bench one:

    A. Son
    B. Maddison
    C. Alvarez

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      3 years, 14 days ago

      B

    2. Feanor
      3 years, 14 days ago

      There must be a better option

      1. oi no professionals
        3 years, 14 days ago

        Between:

        Maddison
        Salah
        Son
        Saka
        Mitoma
        Nunez
        Watkins
        Alvarez

        1. oi no professionals
          3 years, 14 days ago

          This is the trouble with going NO Haaland, your whole squad is SO good that you have to make tough benching decisions. Ohhhhh the agony

        2. VGD
          3 years, 14 days ago

          Nunez

          1. Boxwoods
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            3 years, 14 days ago

            This

            1. oi no professionals
              3 years, 14 days ago

              At home to Forest? You mad bro?

              1. Wobbles
                3 years, 14 days ago

                Will he definitely start though? I guess tomorrow it may be a bit clearer.

        3. Sure You Did
          3 years, 14 days ago

          Mitoma.

          1. Wobbles
            3 years, 14 days ago

            Only one not showing good recent form or returns. Makes sense.

    3. Crunchie
      3 years, 14 days ago

      Maddison

  17. Peter Haddock
    3 years, 14 days ago

    A. Saka & Gordon
    B. Martinelli & Mitoma

    1. La Roja
      3 years, 14 days ago

      A

    2. Crunchie
      3 years, 14 days ago

      B i think, just looks fitter, but Jesus injury is paramount

  18. sirmorbach
    3 years, 14 days ago

    Hiya lads, pressed the panic button and made my two free transfers to get Bowen.

    Any hit needed here? 0.3 itb.

    Areola
    Trippier, Udogie, Cash
    Salah, Son, Bowen, Maddison, Douglas Luiz
    Haaaland, Álvarez

    Leno, Gusto, Taylor, Archer

    1. oi no professionals
      3 years, 14 days ago

      Haaland > Maupay

      1. sirmorbach
        3 years, 14 days ago

        Har har.

    2. Crunchie
      3 years, 14 days ago

      Just see if DL gets a yellow, which may not be a bad thing this game as he still has Fulham at home.

      I am scared of Watkins this week, but not next.

    2FT 0.1ITB

    Johnstone (Turner)
    Cash, Porro, Saliba (Kabore, Gusto)
    Salah, Son, Maddison Diaby (Eze)
    Haaland, Alvarez, Pedro

    A. Son, Eze, Pedro to Saka, Bowen Archer -4 (0.5m ITB)
    B. Son, Eze, to Saka, Mitoma (0.5 ITB)
    C. Son, Eze, Pedro, to Nunez, Martinelli, Gordon -4. (0.1 ITB)
    D. Son, Maddison, Pedro to Watkins, Saka, Gordon -4 (0.1ITB)
    E. Maddison, Eze, Pedro, Saka, Mitoma, 4.3 striker
    F. Maddison, Eze, Pedro, to Mitoma, Anderson Watkins (this means no Arsenal until I sell Watkins again GW13)
    G Sell haaland Get Watkins, Saka , Bowen/Mitoma, and the bloody hell who I want and WC GW16
    H Keep Haaland (forget Watkins) next 2 then do any of the above.

    I was once uncertain, but I am not so sure now. 🙂

    Cheers lol

    1. Bobby Digital
      3 years, 14 days ago

      Son to Saka and Eze to Mitoma

      1. Crunchie
        3 years, 14 days ago

        Cheers Bobby. If Pedro starts in midweeks, i may do E for a hit instead

    2. House Frey Wedding Planner
      3 years, 14 days ago

      G would solve a lot of problems. I'd be reluctant to sell Son or Maddison at the moment and if you plan wisely, you may not even need to WC in GW16 and save it until after the City blank in GW18

      1. Crunchie
        3 years, 14 days ago

        Thanks

        That is why i like the 3-5-2 structure better still

        I am frightened of not owning Watkins and could just pray it is Diaby's turn this week.

        It is Villa at home, and Man City's overall form at the moment is poor, but man Utd defensively is a joke, and so is Bournemouth.

        It's a tough as if I did, then GW14 i would move to Darwin for a couple of games, or Darwin /Bowen 343 or 352 is a good debate to have with the fixtures too. That 0.8 saving for ONE match with my TV is quite appealing.

        Son always scores against Palace, and Palace have a better record away from home with Spurs than at home in recent years. But he would be gone by GW14.

    3. Oasthouse FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 14 days ago

      I'd go G personally! I think more fun (obvs with risk)

      any thoughts on my question below on a smiliar topic?

  20. CRAZY TRAIN
    3 years, 14 days ago

    Struggling who to transfer in out of Gabriel or Tsimikas. Initial plan was Gabriel due to concerns about Tsimikas game time, but Klopps update suggests Robbo won’t be back any time soon so surely his place is fairly assured for now? If starts are assured leading to Tsimikas as that 0.2 could come in v handy.

    1. Oasthouse FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      3 years, 14 days ago

      defo think tskimkas is safe for the next good while, if you need the money, go for that.

      1. CRAZY TRAIN
        3 years, 14 days ago

        Thanks that was what I was leaning towards

    2. Snake Juice
      3 years, 14 days ago

      Gabriel

    3. Crunchie
      3 years, 14 days ago

      Tsimkas is a nice gift. Will sell Saliba for him next week, and Porro to Gabriel the week after (barring injuries)

      1. CRAZY TRAIN
        3 years, 14 days ago

        Yes I’m looking to bringing in both over the next few gw’s

  21. Oasthouse FC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    3 years, 14 days ago

    Evening folks!

    What do we think would be best to do here, with 2 FT and 0.1 itb.

    Areola (leno)

    cash, schar, udogie, guehi, botman

    maddison, diaby, salah, JWP, Son

    haaland, alvarez, archer

    1 - haaland to watkins, jwp to saka

    2- haaland to watkins, maddison to saka

    and worth a -4 to bring in Tripper, Gabriel or Tsimikas?, and if so which one?!

    any advice appreciated, as always

    1. _Ninja_
      3 years, 14 days ago

      1 out of those

    2. House Frey Wedding Planner
      3 years, 14 days ago

      Option 1.

      As for the -4, I think we've missed the boat with Trippier and his big returns and good fixtures are behind us. I'm not sure if Gabriel or Tsimikas is worth a -4 either. I am however seriously contemplating doing a -4 for Trent though as a differential

      1. Oasthouse FC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        3 years, 14 days ago

        Thank you! Yeah did consider Trent as well, not really been delivering so far, but I guess that might change given the fixtures….

    3. Crunchie
      3 years, 14 days ago

      1 JWP playing quite deep unless he swaps paces with Soucek again

      No -4 with that defence

      1. Oasthouse FC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        3 years, 14 days ago

        Thank you!

    Interesting to see Sanchez Vicario as a top goalkeeping choice after winning so many tennis tournaments back in the 90s!

    1. House Frey Wedding Planner
      3 years, 14 days ago

      Didn't win Wimbledon. Martinez did though

      1. RedLightning

        True.

        Kim Clijsters
        Ken Rosewall
        Ilie Năstase
        Ivan Lendl
        to name a few

        1. House Frey Wedding Planner
          3 years, 14 days ago

          Yes but none of them are masquerading as a FPL goalkeeper 🙂

          1. Old Man
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            3 years, 14 days ago

            Yes, that point was not lost on me when I saw your original post. I did smile, so have an upvote. 🙂

    Any improvements on WC

    Areola
    Gabriel Cash Tsmitkas
    Salah(c) Saka Son Bowen Gordon
    Watkins Haaland

    Turner Archer Taylor Kabore

    A) Stick
    B) Gordon to Palmer and add 0.6 to make Taylor = Guehi

    1. House Frey Wedding Planner
      3 years, 14 days ago

      I like B.

      Palmer has a better fixture than Gordon this week and the upgrade to Guehi strengthens your bench and Palace have some good fixtures after this week where he becomes a good option for your starting XI
