Our Members Videos continue with another installment ahead of the Gameweek 11 deadline.

This week, it’s a Wildcard special as David Munday examines the best plan for those still in possession of the chip.

There is, of course, a specific focus on Blank Gameweek 18 and how to factor that into Wildcard plans, with Gameweeks 16 and 19 the two most attractive windows of opportunity.

David uses the Season Ticker and the tools available at PlanFPL.com to work out if he can use free transfers to put off the Wildcard between now and later in the campaign.

The video is available to watch via the embedded link below.

There was also a live Q&A earlier today if you’re in the mood for more visual offerings, plus a whole host of other content in the Gameweek 11 playlist.

    Which 3 to bench?
    A. Neto
    B. Burn
    C. Lamptey
    D. Gabriel
    E. Archer

    1. Gunners in Haaland
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      CDE

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 6 Years

      Neto is injured so start with him. Possibility Gabriel and Lamptey, perhaps even archer won't play.

        Ignore this. I meant BCE

    4. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      A and C won't play will they?

      Or is Lamptey in?

      Does Archer start?

      Does that mean that you get B and D?

  2. MGD
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Areola
    Burn - Cash - Tsimikas
    Salah - Son - Maddison - Bowen
    Haaland - Alvarez - Watkins

    Turner - Taylor - Kabore - McAtee

    2 FT - 0,4 ITB

    Who the f do i remove from my starting 11? :'D

    Looking at Burn -> Gvardiol as a luxuriuos move. Thoughts?

    1. MARVELLUS
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Wouldn't do that move, City's fixtures look tough. Would actually consider wasting the transfer!

    2. drughi
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      maddison>foden

    3. ebb2sparky
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Thoughts are that I've read this exact post before.

    4. House Frey Wedding Planner
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I wouldn't burn the transfer. If you can afford it, I'd just do Kabore and Turner to Guehi (Mitchell if you can't reach Guehi) and a 3.9 keeper. Start the Palace defender over Burn this week.

      Your squad is set for GW12 anyway so you won't need to make a transfer then anyway barring any unforeseen injuries/suspensions.

    5. tim
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I started Taylor and benched Burn.

  3. UKG
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Using an FT.

    Udogie to:

    Gabriel (why didn’t he play the last game?)
    Tsimikas
    Guehi
    Other ?

    1. Gunners in Haaland
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Tsimi

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Tsimikas

  4. Sheffield Wednesday
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    This Newcastle vs Arsenal match has led to the strangest set of benching questions I have seen all season.

    1. House Frey Wedding Planner
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      This is true. I've seen teams with Trippier and Saka on the bench - two players one would normally think were fixture proof.

  5. Ibralicious
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Who to transfer out for Tsimikas? Neither will play for me this week, but need to decide who to hold for medium/long term

    A) Udogie
    B) Burn

    Cheers!

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

    Would love to be able to bring in Nunez this week but can’t see ways in without ripping up my team. Think he could really hurt non owners this gw.

    1. Babit1967
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Depends who else you have really, I have Darwin but no Watkins who is quite capable of a haul this gw.

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

        Haaland Alvarez Watkins is my front line.
        Haaland showed last week that he is essential (had considered selling him).
        Wrong week to sell Alvarez or Ollie.

        1. House Frey Wedding Planner
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Wrong week for Alvarez definitely, but depending on how confident you feel with Nunez, you could move out Watkins (especially if you already have Diaby for coverage in Villa's attack).

          His fixtures are slightly better with Watkins for the next 4, especially this week, and he's in red hot form. Plus by then Watkins good fixtures will have ended while Nunez's will continue for a few more games at least.

          Nunez - Luton (a), Brentford (h), City (a), Fulham (h)
          Watkins - Forest (a), Fulham (h), Spurs (a), Bournemouth (a)

          Probably wouldn't do the move for a hit, but you have a FT hanging around and you're team looks set for GW12 where you may not need to make a transfer, then the move to Nunez could pay off.

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

            Yes I had considered this and do have a FT in hand. Also Forest away is usually a tough fixture for Villa so a big haul for Ollie unlikely I would say. It is tempting.
            I don’t own Diaby though (prefer Bowen).

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

            Also would prefer to be taking 2 FTs in to the itb

            1. House Frey Wedding Planner
              • 7 Years
              2 years, 5 months ago

              If your team looks set for GW12 then do the move to Nunez this week and you can roll the transfer next week to have 2FT after the IB.

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

                Nothing pressing for gw12 presently so yes that’s what I’m thinking.

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Can't own them all unless you make sacrifices.

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        if you're making sacrifices you're not owning them all.

        tbf 11 or 15 is the limit.

  7. Cheeky Reijnders

    McTominay will make fools of all today. 🙂

        2 years, 5 months ago

        Haha!

    2. Sheffield Wednesday
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      He'll score then concede a penalty.

  8. Scrumper
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Would you bother doing Richarlison -> Mitoma this week? (Or roll the FT)

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

      I would

    2. Nickyboy
      • 15 Years

      Do it

    3. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Do it lad.

  9. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Any news on Udogie? 50-50 about whether to bench for Taylor or risk it and play him

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      won't know until Monday

  10. ball c

    Best Neto replacement

    A) Gordon
    B) Adingra
    C) Doucoure
    D) Do -4 and Porro & Neto to Branthwaite & Mitoma.

    1. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I’ve done A I like D though

    2. teddy.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I'm considering Gordon, Hwang, Palmer & Rodri. Going to give it another week to see which of those looks most appealing.

  11. shapply
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    tinkering... currently leaning towards 3

    1) Gusto, Udogie, Dervisoglu -> Baldock, Guehi, Edouard (-4)
    2) Gusto, Udogie, E. Anderson -> Baldock, J. Andersen, Palmer (-4)
    3) Udogie, E. Anderson -> Guehi, Palmer
    4) Gusto, E. Anderson -> Baldock, Palmer

    Fwd line Darwin, Álvarez, watkins

        No idea. All look at risk lol

    2. The Big Fella

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

        lunchtime or tea time?

        dinner time is both...

        1. The Big Fella
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Breakfast dinner tea
          Breakfast lunch dinner

    3. FOO FIGHTER
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      The only city defender looking safe to start every GW is Walker.

      I would keep Gabriel and see if he starts, that is if you can put out 3 playing defenders. If Gabriel does not start, get rid.

      1. rjcv177
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Gabriel easy bench. Have cash, tsimikas, guehi and taylor

      2. space mercenary
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Agreed, easy switch to Tsimikas if not.

  13. waltzingmatildas

    A) Burn to Tsimikas (tough gw13 fixture)
    B) Burn to Guehi
    C) Burn to Ait-Nouri
    D) Trippier to Tsimikas (next week Luiz, Alvarez to Saka, Nketiah -4)
    E) Roll, play Burn
    F) Roll, play Tarkowski

    Flekken Turner
    Trippier Cash Burn Tark Baldock
    Salah Son Mitoma Luiz Palmer
    Haaland Alvarez Watkins

  14. nothing_else_Mata
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Play Sterling or Nketiah? Difficult games for both

    1. drughi
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      nkethia

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Same dilemma with Palmer. Nketiah not in a lot of the predicted line ups, including Neale’s prediction here. So I would go Sterling

  15. Scrumper
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Not convinced nketia starts tbh. Arteta likes havertz up top against tougher opposition

  16. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    I believe Spurs Chelsea will be low scoring

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      2-1 Chels

    2. teddy.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I don't think the Chelsea defence can stop Spurs scoring. For me the question is whether Chelsea can score.

    3. Bobby Crush
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      spurs have ridden their luck, and this could be where we get a surprise

    4. House Frey Wedding Planner
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      2-0 Spurs. The Big Ange machine to continue rolling on.

  17. focaccia
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Play:

    Johnstone or Areola

    Guehi or Gabriel

    1. Sheffield Wednesday
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Crystal Palace defence

    2. Pukki Party
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      All in on Palace

  18. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    When in doubt play more expensive one? Gab over Taylor and Lamptey?

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years

      Yes

    2. JoeJitzu +42
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Hmm Taylor though this week possibly?

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Just they really concede every time…

  19. JoeJitzu +42
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Any preference m?

    A. Nakamba & Darwin
    B. Bowen & Archer

    Salah Son Maddison Gordon XXX
    Haaland Watkins YYY

    Thanks for your advice?

    1. teddy.

      1. JoeJitzu +42
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks Teddy, I’m ever so slightly leaning that way.

    2. rjcv177
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      B covers more teams.
      A has an explosive, nerv recking asset

      1. JoeJitzu +42
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I’m currently on B but could move to A - I guess in reality it’s Bowen vs Darwin

      2. JoeJitzu +42
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        B also allows more escapes where can move Bowen to many midfielders. Hard to escape Darwin unless -4??

    3. House Frey Wedding Planner
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      A for sure. Would much rather have Darwin than Bowen.

  20. Big Ronnie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Start Areola or Turner? Think both concede so who gets the most saves?

    1. JoeJitzu +42
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I’m starting Areola but no idea why!

      1. Big Ronnie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah that's what I'm currently on as view West Ham as the better team

        1. G-Whizz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          We're a bit weaker this week 🙁

    2. teddy.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I'm going Areola. I think more saves and fewer goals conceded.

      1. Big Ronnie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers

    3. FOO FIGHTER
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Areola 39 saves, Turner 32.

      Could be close. Turner might have a busier game. Areola more capable. 50/50 I would say.

    4. Bobby Crush
      • 11 Years

      Would need to see rest of back line to know if C is a good option. I’m currently looking at Burns to Lascelles to free funds but have Cash Tsimikas Andersen as starting three.

    4. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years

      B but depends what you are using the funds from Taylor for for C?

    5. Scrumper

  22. ball c

    Best replacement for Neto:

    A) Porro & Neto to lamptey & Mitoma for -4
    B) Adingra
    C) Rodri
    D) Gordon

    1. JoeJitzu +42

      Watkins but doesn’t mean Darwin couldn’t massively outscore him of course

    Anyone got the code for Magnus Carlsen's team?

    1. Salahlulijah
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      He quit, too many people using beads

        ‘Using beads’?? What does that mean.

      2. Bobby Crush
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Oh - beads?

        1. Bobby Crush
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          But he did quit then?

          1. Salahlulijah
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Yep

                NP, he got annoyed with the site crashing and not being able to do his transfers. That’s the rumour anyway

      Magic cheating beads

    What to do with Gabriel? Any chance of him starting again?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Pretty sure he starts

      1. Tshelby
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Thank you!

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I agree, if you own Gabriel right now, hold. Get shot if he does not start vs Newcastle.

  26. Yozzer
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Who to start fellas?

    A Maguire
    B Gabriel
    C Taylor

  27. DavvaMC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Boring one but bench order correct?

    Mitoma
    Gabriel
    Braithwaite

    Thanks

    1. Yozzer
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      As it is

    2. ball c
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I’d start Mitoma

    3. JoeJitzu +42
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Wow that’s hard amazed that no room in the inn for Mitoma

      1. Merlin the Wraith
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Have got Mitoma starting over Martinelli (1st bench)

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

        It's between Bowen, Mitoma or Saka to be benched. Which one? Tough one.

  28. Ask Yourself
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    With Eze back in the squad and potentially starting who would you start ?
    A) Taylor (CRY)
    B) Branthwaite (BHA)

    1. JT11fc
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Give Taylor a whirl, fancy Everton to do well tho

  29. JT11fc
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Betting on a Forrest masterclass!

    Turner
    Tarks Tsimi Cash
    Salah Foden Doucoure Hwang Bowen
    Darwin Haaland

    Areola Watkins Gab Lamptey

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      GL!

      1. JT11fc
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers GL to you too!

    2. Tripleh123
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Why would you choose Doucoure over Watkins?

      1. JT11fc
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        The mans gonna tear through Brighton's soft centre like a freight train! Also Forrest are strong at home, couldve been Bowen or Hwang benched too

  30. Lord Flashheart

    bench one please:

    A saka (new) [i am playing trippier]
    B diabi (nfo) [i have Watkins also]
    C Bowen (bre)

    1. JT11fc
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Similar dilema for me, Watkins for me

      With a very heavy heart just C I think
