    First

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Absolutely outstanding, well played.

  2. Andrew D48
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    I have 2 FT is Maddison to Saka a must ?

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

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

      1. Andrew D48
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers Crunchie just that Maddison was excellent v Fulham

    2. VGD
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

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

  3. Jones Kusi

    2 years, 5 months ago

    Thoughts on Neto, Maddison > Palmer, Saka?

    1. Andrew D48
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I have same dilemma and reluctant to do it

      1. Jones Kusi
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

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

        1. Andrew D48
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

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

    2. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

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

    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
      • 2 Years

      Can Darwin and try and manage Watkins into the team

  5. OptimusBlack
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 5 months 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

    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
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Template non Haaland draft. a good one

  7. DataVoyager
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 5 months 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
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Go for Salah.

    2. VGD
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months 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
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 5 months 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
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Id hold

    2. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Nah

    3. Sure You Did
      • 3 Years

      Wouldn't even do it for free.

  11. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 5 months 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
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months 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
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

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

  12. sk018
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 5 months 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
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    B or C

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years

      D

  14. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Lose one for Saka

    A: Son
    B: Maddison

    Bench one

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

    What are the chances of Haaland starting tonight?

    1. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      High

  16. oi no professionals
    • 15 Years

    Bench one:

    A. Son
    B. Maddison

      B

    2. Feanor

      There must be a better option

      1. oi no professionals

        Between:

        Maddison

        Son
        Saka

        1. oi no professionals
          • 15 Years

          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

          Nunez

              At home to Forest? You mad bro?

              1. Wobbles
                • 5 Years
                2 years, 5 months ago

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

        3. Sure You Did
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Mitoma.

          1. Wobbles
            • 5 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

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

    3. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Maddison

  17. Peter Haddock

    2. Crunchie

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

  18. sirmorbach

    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

        Har har.

    2. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months 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.

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

    Cheers lol

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years

      Son to Saka and Eze to Mitoma

      1. Crunchie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

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

    2. House Frey Wedding Planner
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months 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
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months 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
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months 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
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 5 months 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
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

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

      1. CRAZY TRAIN
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks that was what I was leaning towards

    2. Snake Juice
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Gabriel

    3. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months 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
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

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

  21. Oasthouse FC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 5 months 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_
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      1 out of those

    2. House Frey Wedding Planner
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months 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
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 5 months 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
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months 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
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

    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

      Didn't win Wimbledon. Martinez did though

    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
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months 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
