    I'm beginning to think that the only way I will profit from captaincy is if I choose a perma-captain. All these weeks of looking at fixtures and form and choosing the 'best' candidate has just resulted in points dodging week after week.

      Dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge!

        This is an apt description.

      Don't overthink too much, and just go with what you think is the best captain.
      FPL is mostly a game of luck anyway.

        This, it’s like flipping a coin and being annoyed it came up heads, just don’t do it to yourself

        Nope this isn't an approach that is working. Also have a look at the captains poll each week and you will find it's not working for many others.

      FOMO is my weakness, especially when the perms-cap will play against a top 4 team and the alternative captain plays the Sheffield or the Luton

    Can anyone explain why Gordon didn't get any bons points awarded? He was due for 2 extra points.

    1. Mirror Man
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Bandy bonce tax.

        Three players tied for 1st with 24 BPS each got three points. Gordon was 2nd on 23, hence no bonus as three players already rewarded.

        Only situation where four get bonus is when there’s a tie for 3rd: 3, 2, 1 & 1 awarded.

      Three points from 4 players. War hound is providing comfort as we speak.

      Areola Turner
      Porro Cash Tisimikas Branthwaite Andersen(Luton)
      Salah Son Saka Bowen Nakamba
      Haaland Watkins Alvarez

      1ft
      0itb

      A) Downgrade Bowen to Gordon to be able to afford Trippier
      B) Just do Porro to Burn

      Cheers

      Bowen is great but Newcastle are far the better team and I want some coverage there

      1. TheFridge
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Burn is hurt, so I'd wait to see how he looks before making that move. I'd probably make a move for Trippier, if you're targeting someone from Newcastle specifically.

      2. Big Mike
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        A

    5. FDMS All Starz

      Would you get rid of Maddison to son for a -4?

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

        What if you want both after the match on Monday?

    6. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years

      Start Tsimi or Mbeumo next GW?

      1. Sheffield Wednesday

        Too soon

      2. Cruyff's Eleven
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Yes

    7. Woy_is_back
      • 8 Years

      Any chance Reguilon starts against Luton home or has he lost his starting spot?

      1. The Knights Template
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Maguire Woy, Maguire!

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

      21(-4) Areola, Alvarez(C), Trippier and Gordon. Pity about the Alvarez blank but not the worst score I guess. I benched Saka and White 😆

      Cash, Porro, Salah, Son, Nunez, Watkins and need Maddison to outscore Bowen.

    9. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Which one for next week:
      A. Gordon (bou)
      B. Gross (SHU) - double with Mitoma
      C. Eze (EVE)

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

        A, probably will play up top.

    10. TheFridge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Which do folks prefer:
      Team A: With 0.0 ITB
      GK: Areola, Turner
      Def: Cash, Tsimikas, TRIPPIER, Lascelles, Lamptey
      Mid: Salah, Son, MITOMA, Saka, Palmer
      FWD: Haaland, Watkins, Archer

      Team B: With 0.8 ITB
      GK: Areola, Turner
      Def: Cash, Tsimikas, BURN, Lascelles, Lamptey
      Mid: Salah, Son, MADDISON, Saka, Palmer
      FWD: Haaland, Watkins, Archer

      1. Here is Cash, give McGinn
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        easy A

        1. NorCal Villan
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Emma Stone was great in that one

      2. Buck The Trent
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        A

    11. Kryptonite666
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Transferred Mitchell to Tsimikas. Tsimi only has to score 15 pointer to be even!

      1. Sheffield Wednesday
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        I had a decision to either :

        Burn Turner > Lascelles Johnstone -4
        or
        Burn > Tsimikas and bench Cash.

        I chose the latter - not looking too good at the moment.

      2. Here is Cash, give McGinn
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        I got Mitchell in 2 GWs ago for this and next 2 fixtures...

    12. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Tempted to take some punt but surely can’t touch my midfield this week?

      Salah/Saka/Son/Bowen

      Have to eventually play with options over one of Haaland/Alvarez

    13. Ravanelli85
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Seriously wondering if Haaland out to get Son in is the move. Haaland has only got 2 more points than Son at this stage. Whether the Son goal fest continues I'm not sure but dunno if Haaland is worth it at this point. Haaland is normally a reliable captaincy option though.

      1. Mirror Man
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Haaland/Nakamba -> Hojlund/Bruno for me. I'm an expert so you should copy me.

      2. Bielsa's Bucket
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        West Ham defence looks great for fixtures. But overall they seem to have taken a nose dive recently.

      3. FDMS All Starz

        Best 3.9 defender ?

        2 years, 3 months ago

        Gabriel worth buying, or is he too risky of a pick?

        Need a max. 5m replacement for Burn and Arsenal have nice fixtures.

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          For what it's worth, Arsenal defended very well today. Worse picks, but Saliba & White are the nailed ones.

          1. Bobby Digital
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Yea I'm missing 0.1m from Saliba

      7. C0YS
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Best bench defender for the next 5-10 GW’s?
        1. Branthwaite
        2. Evans
        3. Lascelles

        1. Here is Cash, give McGinn
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          A or is there any info about Botman coming Back?

          1. C0YS
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Yeah, Branthwaite was the default option. However Lascelles seems good considering Botman now has an unknown return date and Evans is seemingly nailed too…

        mbeumo, keep or sell? budget to replace is 8.1

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years

          Surely gotta keep him, fixtures are great from 14 onwards.

          Spend the extra cash on Gordon for now

        2. Feanor
          • 16 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          He had three shots that just missed today. Very unlucky

        3. Riders of Yohan
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          100% keep, I’m going to bring him in after the next 2. One of the best picks this season!

        Smug non Haaland owner over here

        37 points from 5 of Bruno, Trippier, Johnstone, Mitoma, Alvarez

        6 left to play including Salah captain

            TBF I've gone from 2m to 200k since dropping Haaland. Not entirely due to him but stronger overall team has helped.

          I’ve never owned Haaland this season and I’m 790k with Salah c to go. Was 6.1m after gw 5. He’s too expensive.

          1. Get up ya bum
            • 16 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            I'm at 100k and have been playing an only one of Haaland/Salah at a time all season

            1. pstokes2010
              • 15 Years
              2 years, 3 months ago

              Salah is essential.

                • 16 Years
                2 years, 3 months ago

                Nobody is essential. I went without him for eight weeks and rank was bouncing around between 1k and 100k.

        6. Get up ya bum
          • 16 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          19 from 4 here also no Haaland

        7. Big Ronnie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Fellow non-Haalander here, feel lucky. But since dropping in GW8 has definitely paid off.

        I’m selling Ederson this week and he’ll never be in my FPL team again unless he starts taking penalties.

      12. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Doku already predicted to rise tonight! City have a UCL game midweek and CHE, LIV, TOT aren’t the best fixtures on paper - surely no need to bring him in straightaway on the same day of playing

        1. Saka White Rice
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Classic fpl noobies. Oh he scored x points last week he'll score the same next week let's bring him in...they never learn

            FOMO effect is really powerful
            Nketiah was one of the most transferred in this week too

      13. pablospicks
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        9 points for my team, 15 stuck on the bench and i'm still having a good gameweek so far.. Strange week

      14. Saka White Rice
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Trippier is starting to get really annoying. I thought he was overpriced at first, then optional and as weeks go by it looks like he's hard to ignore. He always gets bonus points. As long as he gets a clean sheet or an assist he'll get at least 2 bonus points

        1. Get up ya bum
          • 16 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          He is this seasons Trent. Absolute fpl gold. Bargain.

          1. Saka White Rice
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Don't think I need Haaland for the next 3 fixtures and have 2FT so will do Haaland and Burn to Darwin/Nketiah and Trippier

        2. Sun Jihai
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Definitely - the points since the fixtures turn in GW5 have been insane:

          8, 18, 12, 6, 10, 0, 9

          Huge error me going without him due to price!

          1. Get up ya bum
            • 16 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            I got all of them 😎 bought him gw4 and benched him for the one pointer v brighton

      15. Jet5605
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Last season I bought Nkeiah in for a plum home fixture and Arteta benched him and played a midfielder (can't recall which one) up front. Chances of that happening again v Burnley?

      16. Get up ya bum
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Any filthy points chasers sold Haaland last week and bought him back this week come out of the woodwork yet? There's surely some out there

        1. NorCal Villan
