    Benched guehi(9) for burn(1) in gw 8 and now tsimikas(15) for lascelles(0) and it was decisions I really went back and forth with. 23 points in the drain. 35k could have been 5k, season defining and such small margings. Best tactic now is probably to have such a bad bench that you dont have to make these decisions

    1. noissimbus

      This is the tactic of ghost teams, and they're flourishing lol

      1. drughi
        • 14 Years
        7 months, 6 days ago

        yeah options is just problems, brought lascelles in this week for burn and that gave me the option to bench tsimikas lol

        1. DannyDrinkVodka
          • 4 Years
          7 months, 6 days ago

          Same………was going to leave Lascelles as first on bench but then flipped

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 6 days ago

      I don't think 35k or 5k in gw12 is season defining.

      is it?

      1. drughi
        • 14 Years
        7 months, 6 days ago

        bit dramatic maybe but frustrating when 50/50 calls goes so bad

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 months, 6 days ago

          Frustrating for sure. Everyone will have some of these across the season realistically though, good to have a strong bench. And a great rank at this stage.

    Areola (turner)
    Digne trips tsim ( kaboure, myko)
    Son salah bowen soucek (anderson)
    Haaland Watkins alverez

    0.6 itb. 2ft.

    Alverez and Anderson to semenyo and mbeumo and resign soucek to bench playing 352?

  3. Solly The Seagull
    • 6 Years
    7 months, 6 days ago

    Not sure where to go here with 2ft and 0.0itb. Maybe Gordon>Palmer and roll another ft?

    Areola
    Schär Udogie Cash
    Salah Son Saka Diaby Gordon
    Haaland Darwin

    Turner Archer Kabore Tsimikas

    1. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Sell Cash

      1. Solly The Seagull
        • 6 Years
        7 months, 6 days ago

        For who?

  4. Woy_is_back
    • 6 Years
    7 months, 6 days ago

    Trossard probably preferred to Nketiah from now on?

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      7 months, 6 days ago

      Should be, far better player

      1. Woy_is_back
        • 6 Years
        7 months, 6 days ago

        Agreed

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      7 months, 6 days ago

      Nketiah is probably a bit better suited to Brentford funnily enough but I think most Arsenal fans would agree. Arteta is the one who decides however...

  5. WVA
    • 7 Years
    7 months, 6 days ago

    Salah v Haaland next week is the big one

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      7 months, 6 days ago

      Son it is

    2. Woy_is_back
      • 6 Years
      7 months, 6 days ago

      I would captain Bowen if I had him

      1. drughi
        • 14 Years
        7 months, 6 days ago

        low ceiling, rarely top for bonus

        1. Woy_is_back
          • 6 Years
          7 months, 6 days ago

          Yeah but can see a brace

      2. WVA
        • 7 Years
        7 months, 6 days ago

        If you rate him that highly you should own him!

    3. noissimbus
      • 2 Years
      7 months, 6 days ago

      Pool not keeping a CS away from home all season should give some indication as to who's better placed to haul.

    4. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      7 months, 6 days ago

      On Haaland atm. Salah a bit too wide and has been sort of lucky with his returns of late.

    5. drughi
      • 14 Years
      7 months, 6 days ago

      Haaland

    6. NotsoSpursy
      • 7 Years
      7 months, 6 days ago

      Or Bowen

  6. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 months, 6 days ago

    So, are either Salah or Haaland really worth their price?

    1. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      7 months, 6 days ago

      Yes imo

    2. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 10 Years
      7 months, 6 days ago

      Is this bait? Yes, obviously

    3. RICICLE
      • 1 Year
      7 months, 6 days ago

      Both are more than worthy right now, shield players, and can play about with differentials around the fringe

  7. Big Hands Barry
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    7 months, 6 days ago

    Cash Diaby Chukwuemeka to Lascelles Mbuemo Palmer worth a -4? (0.0 left ITB)

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      7 months, 6 days ago

      Not sure you need to do Diaby >. Mbuemo this week. But imagine prices may dictate that.

      Lascelles vs. CHE potentially not good either. Scored 9 goals in two games vs. TOT & MCI now...

  8. Tambling5
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    7 months, 6 days ago

    Man C v Liverpool. Newc v Chels. Spurs v Villa.
    Most of my players in those three games next week! Plus a couple of Ars at Brentford, which could also be not a great point-scorer.
    Just hope for the best and to muddle through I think. But might move Diaby to Eze.

  9. NotsoSpursy
    • 7 Years
    7 months, 6 days ago

    101 points, my season finally starts

    1. RICICLE
      • 1 Year
      7 months, 6 days ago

      Blimey!!!

    2. Hazz

      Nice job!

    Hello!

    Leno
    Trippier Gabriel Cash
    Salah Son Maddison* Diaby
    Haaland Alvarez Nketiah
    Areola // Palmer Kabore Taylor

    Iffy pair of transfers this week bringing Gordon & Nketiah in. Went differential & didn't pay off (maybe if Nketiah had started!).

    Palmer subbed in for Maddison this week, but he's an obvious sell ASAP.

    Do want Mbeumo from GW14 or so... but not best fixture next week.

    Bowen (BUR) seems like a good switch to make. Do you reckon Son might be sellable from 14? Doubt he'll dry up completely.

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      7 months, 6 days ago

      I'm thinking Maddison to Mbeumo in prep for his good fixtures, wouldn't want to be benching Palmer anymore though although you won't have that problem as you can just bench Nketiah.

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        7 months, 6 days ago

        That what I was looking at coming into this GW. However Bowen (BUR) is not ideal to be missing out on.

        And yeah, happy to bench Nketiah for Palmer for now. Newcastle will be tough, but encourages by our displays & their injury situation I guess.

  11. Woy_is_back
    • 6 Years
    7 months, 6 days ago

    Diaby owners selling?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      7 months, 6 days ago

      I wouldn't sell this week if I had him. I did sell him for Gordon this GW which didn't work out.

    2. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 10 Years
      7 months, 6 days ago

      I would if I had unlimited transfers, but I don't.

    3. snow pea in repose
      • 3 Years
      7 months, 6 days ago

      No, a weakened TOT and BOU coming up, then the schedule gets tougher

    4. Salarrivederci
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 6 days ago

      Many seem happy enough with him.

      I only want the penalty taking midfielders at this point so if I had him I would look at Mbeumo, Eze or Palmer

      1. Woy_is_back
        • 6 Years
        7 months, 6 days ago

        I have Mbeumo and Eze. Palmer could lose the pens to Nkunku later maybe?

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          7 months, 6 days ago

          That may well happen but it would be pretty harsh to take them off him given he's scored the last 4 in succession.

          Surely only after he misses one.

    5. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 months, 6 days ago

      Not yet

  12. Connor's Calling
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 months, 6 days ago

    Alvarez on pretty thin ice currently for me. 10 goals in last 2 and he's got one assist.

    Guess he's a bit deep and while he's playing there he's never going to match an out and out striker.

    Could do:
    Alvarez + Mitoma -> Watkins + Palmer for a hit, but spose sensible to wait another week to reasses and do for free if i want. Also still got WC, so must ban hits til i've used that!

    Oh and thank you to everyone that stopped me selling Tsimi for a hit last week - got very lucky, not least as i was 50:50 as to whether he'd start at all.

    1. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      7 months, 6 days ago

      Jackson.

  13. Woy_is_back
    • 6 Years
    7 months, 6 days ago

    Hard to see any obvious differential captains nxt gw. Bowen, Eze, Solanke, Son decent ones I guess

    1. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 months, 6 days ago

      Have the armband on Haaland atm

      1. Woy_is_back
        • 6 Years
        7 months, 6 days ago

        Yeah probably will aswell but looking at other possiblities

      2. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
        • 10 Years
        7 months, 6 days ago

        Yeah think it'll be Haaland for me

        1. bench boost for every gamew…
          • 7 Years
          7 months, 6 days ago

          should check referee before you decide. if its Oliver or Taylor as either on field or VAR then Haaland. guaranteed either pen for shirt-holding or a red for Liverpool for a yellow branded tackle.

    2. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      7 months, 6 days ago

      Bowen for me, prior to Spurs-Chelsea it was Son.

  14. WVA
    • 7 Years
    7 months, 6 days ago

    Who would you bench?

    Trippier Cash Udogie Gabriel Taylor
    Salah Saka Mbeumo Bowen Palmer

    Areola Turner

    Haaland Watkins
    Turner Archer

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 10 Years
      7 months, 6 days ago

      This is a confusing format...

      Cash, Turner, how many do you need to bench?

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        7 months, 6 days ago

        Apologies that went horribly wrong, need to bench two defenders

  15. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
    • 10 Years
    7 months, 6 days ago

    Areola Turner
    Cash Trippier Saliba Andersen Beyer
    Salah Bowen Diaby Gordon Sarr
    Haaland Darwin Alvarez

    A) Cash to Tsimi (probably bench)
    B) Sarr to Eze (probably play and transition to 3-5-2)
    C) Something else?

    1. rjcv177
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 6 days ago

      B. Bench diaby, they are not good away

      1. _Ninja_
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 months, 6 days ago

        Away to a depleted spurs, i'd play Diaby

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      7 months, 6 days ago

      Tsimi looks good

      1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
        • 10 Years
        7 months, 6 days ago

        I'll probably get him in post city too, it's just order of transfers I guess.

        1. WVA
          • 7 Years
          7 months, 6 days ago

          Yeah I'm going to get him post City.

  16. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    7 months, 6 days ago

    Aerola has been a very poor pick recently.

    1. rjcv177
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 6 days ago

      Yup. Problem with picks with good chunk of fixtures is...next week is the week i'll get my points lol

    2. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 10 Years
      7 months, 6 days ago

      Yep... Which gk is doing well atm though?

        This

  17. Ange Ball
    • 9 Years
    7 months, 6 days ago

    Got in Bowen Ferguson for Madds Alaverz worked. Ferguson no show Tsimikas first sub 15pts first bit luck. 94pts all out happy.

    Anyone know why Ferguson did not play?

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      7 months, 6 days ago

      That's just pure luck mate

      1. Ange Ball
        • 9 Years
        7 months, 6 days ago

        Haha

  18. rjcv177
    • 8 Years
    7 months, 6 days ago

    A) stick to haalandless plan to gw16
    B) Son, Álvarez, Darwin to haaland, eze/mbeumo, Archer for -4

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 10 Years
      7 months, 6 days ago

      Haalandless is not where I'd want to be...

      1. bench boost for every gamew…
        • 7 Years
        7 months, 6 days ago

        problem this week was Anthony Taylor and a lucky deflection, extremely lucky haul tbf.

        1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
          • 10 Years
          7 months, 6 days ago

          Haaland is Haaland, it's just way too risky to be without. Borderline reckless

  19. Woy_is_back
    • 6 Years
    7 months, 6 days ago

    Any Ferguson injury news?

    1. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      7 months, 6 days ago

      Backinjury someone posted. Failed punt for me.

      1. Woy_is_back
        • 6 Years
        7 months, 6 days ago

        Yeah and unfortunately had Mbuemo ahead of Tsimi on the bench

        1. Royal5
          • 12 Years
          7 months, 6 days ago

          Tsimi here. Pure luck.

  20. circusmonkey
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 months, 6 days ago

    My front 7 all returned, the other 4 got 4 points with 20 on the bench. 82 though, decent week.

  21. ShaunGoater123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 months, 6 days ago

    91 points with 24 on the bench! Great week, but could have been mega!

  22. MGD
    • 8 Years
    7 months, 6 days ago

    100 points. Niiice

    1. Bennerman
      • 5 Years

      Presumably you've already told your mum, then came on here

  23. Toon lurk
    • 7 Years
    7 months, 6 days ago

    I see a lot of comments on here about how the game is ruined these days with casuals being spoonfed but does anyone else find it way more fun these days? All my mini leagues are really competitive now when I used to crush them 5 years ago

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      7 months, 6 days ago

      Same but I used to enjoy crushing them and winning lots of money!

      1. Toon lurk
        • 7 Years
        7 months, 6 days ago

        Haha yeah my OR is much worse but honestly I find I way more fun

    2. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      7 months, 6 days ago

      Sort of agree, but I used to fight for top 10k not top 1mill

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      7 months, 6 days ago

      Personally finding this season way more fun that last season, and arguably I'm finding it much trickier to gain in rank.

    4. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      7 months, 6 days ago

      yea, everyone in my league knows how to play now. Its more competitive

    5. Casual Player
      • 3 Years
      7 months, 6 days ago

      It’s just gatekeeper stuff. People that used to have knowledge they thought was exclusive upset knowledge is more readily available

      Tbh the game is really 80/20 principle anyway. You don’t need much spoon feeding, independent research, or whatever to put a decent team together

      The other 20 is mainly just luck/variance

    6. Bennerman
      • 5 Years
      7 months, 6 days ago

      No, I don't

  24. Salarrivederci
    • 8 Years
    7 months, 6 days ago

    Start 3 defenders next GW:
    A: TAA (mci)
    B: Trippier (CHE)
    C: White (bre)
    D: Tsimikas (mci)
    E: Taylor (WHU)

    Rest of the team:
    Areola
    X - X - X
    Salah - Son - Mbeumo - Eze - Palmer
    Haaland - Morris

    (Turner, Archer, X, X)

    1. Woy_is_back
      • 6 Years
      7 months, 6 days ago

      Trippier, White, TAA

      1. Salarrivederci
        • 8 Years
        7 months, 6 days ago

        That's what I'm currently on with Taylor ahead of Tsimikas on the bench!

        Hope White returns though.

  25. Opurist
    • 3 Years
    7 months, 6 days ago

    Julian Alvarez owners, what are we doing?

    I actually like the Liverpool and Spurs games, but he plays in South America qualifiers on the Wednesday morning before the early Saturday kick off.

    Also Pep overthinks a little in these games and he gets subbed off before 80'.

    Think I will wait for a leak before the Liverpool game, keep if he starts, get rid if not.

    1. Toon lurk
      • 7 Years
      7 months, 6 days ago

      Probably not helpful but personally my plan is to not think about fpl for 2 weeks 🙂

    2. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      7 months, 6 days ago

      Sold last week

    3. Differentiator
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 6 days ago

      keeping. Not a bad asset at 7m odd

    4. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      7 months, 6 days ago

      Bernard Silva coming back has not been good for him, has it.

    5. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 10 Years
      7 months, 6 days ago

      I'm keeping but probably benching next GW.

    6. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      7 months, 6 days ago

      Keeping, starting...

    7. Big Mike
      • 1 Year
      7 months, 6 days ago

      I'm benching Alvarez for game week 13 and then selling him in 14. Not sure who for, yet though.

      1. Casual Player
        • 3 Years
        7 months, 6 days ago

        If you’re benching GW13 why wait to GW14 to sell?

  26. bench boost for every gamew…
    • 7 Years
    7 months, 6 days ago

    The updating takes longer than usual due to the assist added to Anthony Taylor, not registrated in FPl prior to the gameweek.

    1. Casual Player
      • 3 Years
      7 months, 6 days ago

      Seen a few comments from you on this, need to take a cold shower mate, it’s just a game

  27. DMP
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 months, 6 days ago

    No idea. 2ft. 0,7 Itb.

    Areola (Turner)
    Cash Tsimikas Gabriel (Guehi, Lascelles)
    Salah Saka Bowen Mitoma (Palmer)
    Halland Watkins Alvarez

    1. Big Mike
      • 1 Year
      7 months, 6 days ago

      What formation do you want to play for game week 13? Besides, I'd sell Turner for Johnstone.

  28. Differentiator
    • 8 Years
    7 months, 6 days ago

    Top 10k average score this week?

    1. Salarrivederci
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 6 days ago

      Think it is about 72 if we are to fully trust livefpl.

      Safety score at 5K is saying 79 though.

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      7 months, 6 days ago

      73

  29. have you seen cyan

      Fair enough on the fixtures but he has been very poor all season. Today was his first goal.

      That kid who got injured (Muniz) will be back again pretty soon to challenge. If you want goals, I not sure I'd go there.

      When he starts he often gets hooked around the 55 mins mark
      Not keen on him as an asset, would rather go Archer and a better midfielder
