    Who is everyone captaining in GW13?! Looks like one of the toughest weeks to decide.

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Haaland

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      It's not hard. If in doubt, Haaland.

    3. panda07
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Bowen

    4. balint84
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Haaland safest

    Early thoughts....

    Areola*
    Trippier. Liveramento*. Cash*
    Salah (vc). Son (C). Saka. Palmer
    Haaland. Alvarez*. Watkins

    Turner. Gusto*. Nakamba. Beyer. 1ft 0.8 itb

    1) Roll, then next GW Alvarez to Boomo/Bowen in switch to 352

    2) Cash to Saliba/Zinc/White/Gabriel

    3) Gusto to Gabriel/Zinc

    4) Areola to Johnstone/other

    5) Saka + Nakamba to Bowen + Boomo, -4, bench Palmer/another

    6) Other

    Okay I knee-jerked, Son—> Salah, Alvarez —> Archer and burned my 2FT hmmm

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I like it

  4. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Teams set for next GW. Hope for no injuries over the break,

    Areola
    Trippier Andersen Saliba
    Diaby Salah Bowen Eze Gordon
    Haaland (c) Darwin

    Bench, Turner, Alvarez (eee), Cash, Beyer

    Worried but expecting one of Darwin or Alvarez to play.

    See y'all in a couple of weeks

    Yet another week of what looked like good decisions that backfired
    Maddison > Martinelli (instead of Johnson)
    JWP > Eze, not quite as bad but saving the FT would have been better
    Benched Tsimakas for first time since I got him,

    At least I captained Haaland,

  6. Ohh1454

    Thoughts on Diaby > Bowen ?

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

    2. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Fixtures dont lie
      Bowen in the England squad?

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Southgate doesnt realise Bowen is English.

        1. Maddi Son
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Bowen is in the England squad and Southgate has given him chances before.

  7. Toon lurk

    2 years, 3 months ago

    To anyone making plans now - take some time to process the gameweek and think long term without recency bias. An hour after the last gameweek ended people were making plans to remove Tsmikas. Sometimes doing nothing is the best option

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I agree if bringing in Tsimi, esp as he'd be benched probably

      1. Toon lurk
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Tsmi will be benched next gw?

        1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          By the FPL player. Can't see many playing him vs city.

          1. Toon lurk
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Ah yeah good example!

  8. CoracAld2831

    Has anyone ever taken a hit like this in FPL?

    https://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/9761326/event/12

    Just... no.

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Lol someone did similar (-24) in my H2H last week and finished sat with -15 and sun with -4

      1. CoracAld2831
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Damn.

    2. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Can’t help noticing there are more transfers than players

    3. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Happens all the time - someone chasing the most points in a gameweek not caring about the hits required. This one was top after yesterday's fixtures.

    4. Joelinton Travel Tavern
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      My mate forgot to hit the "play WC" button last year and ended up with a -40. That was pretty funny.

        Your username is spectacular, love it

    5. NorCal Villan

      Person has taken substantial hits in 6 of 8 GWs played

  9. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Best budget defender up to 4.3m for GW13 (except lascalles & branthwaite) Thanks

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Is Maguire 4.3?

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Yeh tempted but cleansheet away at Everton looks unlikely ?

        1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          I mean you're scraping the barrel. You've ruled out the decent replacement. Expecting a lot from a 4.3

          1. Stranger Mings
            • 5 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Yeh guess can’t be too picky at that price

    2. Bleh
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Mykolenko looks to be in some form.

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Yeh seems to be getting lots of attacking returns

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

    Honestly, is there any defender that could actually work as Cash replacement?

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

      Defenders seem to be more of a roulette these days

    2. CoracAld2831
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Saliba?

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

        Won’t be scoring every week but defo they should get some CS

    3. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Reece James looked good today(?)

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

        CHE fixtures start GW 16

    4. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      James for me. Worth the punt.

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

      Actually James is good just he will get injured the week I bring him in

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

        That's the problem with him. But there is hope that he makes 60 minutes and keeps CS or gets attackin return before the injury. Take care of your squad depth so that you are not forced to sell him immediately for minor injuries.

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

      Mykolenko it is, mark my words.

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

        Recency bias imo. I don't trust Everton yet and the fixtures don't look that good going forward. How did he get his attacking returns? Is it sustainable?

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

          Always been fairly attacking imo, and these fixtures are at home so I see appeal

    7. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I have Cash & Estupian with TSim/Lascelles/Taveras
      Not sure who to get rid of first
      Maybe Saliba

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

        Estu is injured and Brighton CS amount is...?!?

  11. Bleh
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Any early thoughts on the best move here?

    A. Cash > Gabriel or Saliba
    B. Turner > Johnstone
    C. Mitoma > Bowen
    D. Alvarez > Darwin

    Areola
    Cash, Udogie, Tsimikas
    Salah, Son, Mbeumo, Palmer
    Haaland, Alvarez, Watkins

    (Turner, Mitoma, Tsimikas, Gusto)
    1 FT, 1.5 ITB

    1. Bleh
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Sorry have Lascelles instead of Tsimi in the starting XI.

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Cannot comment B, need to study it a little first. A and C are sound, D next week.

      1. Bleh
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers, yeah B is just so I don’t need to play Areola every week but keep him as a second keeper (bought him at 4.0).

        Think I’m leaning towards A.

  12. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Can fpl allow us to replace Areola & Turner with outfield players please

  13. have you seen cyan
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Areola has proper trolled all wildcarders. He is 4.3 also which means no straight swaps unless you got the cash. At what point does a keeper switch become priority? And who for?

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Turner has botched it too

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        ah turner was dirt cheap, and was part of a pair. You also accepted this scenario lol. Areola, I genuinely thought might be a good pick :/

        1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Didn't expect him to get chopped though. Oh well

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

      He has performed in line with his price. Can't be too mad with that. (Although even Ward last year was better!!)

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      The only GK I would consider is the 4.5-4.6m ish price bracket. The issue here is you can cover the GK with a defender e.g. Johnstone with Guehi /Mitchell. Prefer the saving on Areola and Guehi than Palace double up

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Also there isn't a massive points difference between Areola and the more expensive GKs.

    4. rozzo
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Becker set and forget

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

      Still love that he's 3 points above Ederson!

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

    Who would you sacrifice before GW14 to fit Mbeumo?

    Salah/Son/Saka/Bowen
    Haaland/Watkins/Alvarez

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

      Alvarez

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

        Thinking Son right now

  15. balint84
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    A) keep Mitoma or get Eze?
    B) keep Cash or get Dawson?

  16. OptimusBlack
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Gordon & Watkins >
    Bowen & Solanke
    Yaaay
    Nope

    1. OptimusBlack

    Came across a good post on Twitter to watch extended highlights (10+ mins) from every PL gsme on NBCSports YouTube channel.

    You do need access to USA VPN though.

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

    Maddison to:
    A) Mbeumo
    B) Bowen

    I do want to be looking at Mbeumo from GW14 but not possible unless I sell Son, or revert my Gordon transfer in. Bowen does have some good fixtures though.

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      B
      Bowen much better than Mbeumo

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

        I think that's debatable. Mbuemo will be very good, very soon. Although I've not had much luck with him this season (both when not having & when I did have him).

        RMT like Mbeumo a lot - more than Bowen over the next few.

        I'll ponder.

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Bowen for sure.

        Thank you Mr. Horse

    Areola
    Cash Trippier Tsimikas
    Diaby Salah Saka Son Gordon
    Alvarez Haaland

    Turner - Lascelles - Archer - Taylor

    0.1m in the bank, 1FT

    Not really sure what to do with this. It's not a great gameweek for my team but I guess I just roll. Thoughts on Alvarez to Solanke? A bit kneejerk? Not really convinced by Alvarez as a FPL asset the last week weeks if im honest. Quality player but not really getting amongst the goals.

    1. Diddizz
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Easy roll 🙂

  20. Pylynen
    • 8 Years

    Cash+Udogie>Saliba+Lascelles for free?

    1. OptimusBlack

      Yaay

  21. RamboRN
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    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?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Yes then Soucek to Palmer

      1. RamboRN
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        For -4?

        1. RamboRN
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Could also create benching headache

          1. Tonyawesome69
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            No GW14. Don't see how that would create a benching headache switching to a 352 and Semenyo as 8th attacker

  22. have you seen cyan
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    I think Chelsea will do well vs Newcastle, maybe 1-3

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Possibly. But can’t see them getting up for that game as much.

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Newcastle are pretty vulnerable right now. Think it will be bad, maybe even 4 or 5 goals

  23. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Diaby only 6 points behind Saka. No pen duty, no set pieces. £6.8.
    Bowen & Mbeumo both outscoring the £8.6 arsenal defender. Truth is Saka ain’t needed.

    1. Rosey Palmer
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      When he bangs it is painful....but I have gone without since GW 7. Problem is super high EO

      1. PartyTime
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Yes, you are right. I still think he is a popular asset one can do without.

        Well done! Nice to know you went without him since gw 7. I did the same as well & it’s been lovely! 🙂
        Another 5 points or a blank might force many to do the same.

  24. fantasist
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone else seeing those 15pts from Tsimikas and regretting benching him?

    1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Absolutely not. I’m delighted I benched him. I only regret not benching Haaland and Salah too.

      1. _Ninja_
        • 15 Years

        😀

      2. Diddizz

        lol 😀

  25. Totalfootball
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Saka/Son to Bowen ?

    Or hold

    1. ball c
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I would hold Saka
      Son is more explosive than Bowen.

  26. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Would be pretty weird if Newcastle sack Howe.

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      yes, but money is dumb. However, people are fooling themselves if they thought that Howe could win titles. He was only ever a temporary/transitional manager. A world class manager should manage Newcastle ultimately.

      Mourinho will probably get the job at some point lol.

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Tough to see who would come in now that their team is so depleted.

    2. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years

      Would be pretty weird if Liverpool sack Klopp

      1. Mr. Eko
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years

        Its Jürgen’s Club !!!

  27. Diddizz
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Easy roll if no injuries during IB? My plan going forward is having 2 free transfers in week 14 and then decide if I want to keep Gordon, Trippier and Alvarez. Options I'm considering is Watkins, Palmer, Mbuemo. If Newcastle still looks burnout against Chelsea Trippier will be the cashcow. Many cheap options, maybe Mykolenko or a cheaper Newcastle-defender (Lascalles, Livramento). Any other suggestions?

    Could downgrade Gordon to Palmer and then upgrade Taylor to Mykolenko or saving funds for a better keeper.

    OR: 186 304, SV: 104.4 - 0.0 in the bank.

    Areola

    Trippier, Cash, Udogie

    Salah, Son, Saka, Bowen, Gordon

    Haaland (C), Alvarez

    Bench: Turner; Archer, Tsimikas, Taylor

  28. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Long term: (start only one of:)

    A) Son Mubama

    B) Mbeumo Alvarez -4

    Also having Palmer Hwang in my squad which I can rotate if I go B but not if I go A

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

    Start Archer (BOU) over Mitoma (nfo)?

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

      Nah

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

    What to do with the cash if we move to a 352 in GW14 with Palmer as a playing mid?

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

      Sell Cash 😛
