      Oh..:(

      I hoped.it was the scout's trench coat and peaky blinders' hat that he is wearing on that silhouette with the skinny legs.

        It used to be but then we heard from Ron Atkinson's solicitors about copyright infringement and we had to make a change.

          That's a shame.

    So lost. 2ft and 0.9itb. WC also available but don't feel like that is a good play this week

    Johnstone
    Saliba Schär Udogie*
    Salah Son Bowen* Diaby Palmer
    Haaland* Watksin

    Turner; Kabore*, Pau, Mubama

    If Bowen is out I'll likely just sell him. Any decent 4.4 defenders I could get to afford Saka? Or could just get Mbeumo

    1. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 months, 17 days ago

      Just get Mbeumo and roll the other FT if Bowen confirmed out for a while

    Interesting data on Matty Cash:

    Gameweeks 1 to 6 minutes per xG: 189.

    Gameweeks 7 to 12 minutes per xG: 1023.

    Home games minutes per xG: 621

    Away games minutes per xG: 200

    Definite drop off in goal threat in recent weeks; but more likely to play right wing in away games.

      Yeah he needs to go.

        His next 2 games are away though...

      1. Letsgo!
        • 7 Years
        5 months, 17 days ago

        Lack of defenders to play. Left pinnock. But quite sure he gomna comcede tonarsenal so might as well try

      Nope

    3. Villan83
      • 13 Years
      5 months, 17 days ago

      I’m starting him over Beyer and Konsa. With Bogle potentially out he should be back at right wing back. Not expecting much though.

  5. Giovanni Giorgio
    • 10 Years

    A) Cash --> Saliba
    B) Nakamba --> Eze

    ?

  6. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    5 months, 17 days ago

    Start 1?

    A Tsimikas could get an Assist

    Or

    B Lascelles solid defence

    1. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      5 months, 17 days ago

      Tsimi could not start
      Lasc could get a point

    2. Letsgo!
      • 7 Years
      5 months, 17 days ago

      Solid defence? Lol since when?

      1. x.jim.x
        • 9 Years
        5 months, 17 days ago

        Newcastle have the most clean sheets in the league and are 4th for goals conceded

  7. DagheMunegu
    • 3 Years
    5 months, 17 days ago

    I have 2 ft and 0 itb

    How can I improve the defense/keepers without touching the rest of the team ?

    Pickford Turner
    Tsimikas Cash Gabriel Branthwaite Kabore

    Already have 3 Arsenal

    Mine merch store is going gangbusters! I’ve run out of life-sized rubber jousting sticks! Mine limited edition Hall of Shame ale tankards are proving popular too, as are mine Lollygagger Lobster Bibs for feasting! Still plenty of ‘B84jwh’ keyrings for those with a steed, and mine dried beef spleen war hound treats are a hit with our best friends!

    Order now to confirm disappointment!

        Madonna follows the olde ways, like me. We’re both very hirsute and prefer to wear a full beard. May have to develop a line of beard grooming essentials for the merch store, which is running low on stock even though I raised all the prices like the Sheriff of Nottingham raises taxes!

    Are their any premier league footballers who are big fans of King Arthur and British history?

        Wait for all the pressers and then if you still don’t know then swap out Lamptey

        Bowen to mbuemo for some decent fixtures coming up

      What to do with this team? Cash and Gordon out?

      Areola
      Cash, Tsimikas, Livermento
      Salah, Diaby, Gordon, Son, Saka
      Haaland, Watkins

      Turner, Archer, Taylor and Lamptey

      2FT and 0.4 in the bank. Bring in a CP defender for Cash and Gordon to Palmer seems a go?

      1. Cojones of Destiny
        • 6 Years
        5 months, 17 days ago

        Cash to CP or Wol def and save ft

    5. Cojones of Destiny
      • 6 Years
      5 months, 17 days ago

      who goes first:
      a. Cash
      b. U-dog
      c. P. Neto
      d. Bowen

      1. bench boost for every gamew…
        • 7 Years
        5 months, 17 days ago

        Depends on injuries I guess? Not helpful I know, but that four is quite difficult to pick from without injury news, what's your strategies are and team you've got. For instance, i have Cash, but since I'm having four other defenders that can be played (Maguire is my fifth defender) I can easily let him stay on bench but then have him for GW18. But, if you have to play Cash, then it might be a different story.

        1. Cojones of Destiny
          • 6 Years
          5 months, 17 days ago

          think Im playing cash (team is linked) it's bw neto and bowen really, if bowen seems to be out longer then losing him for saka probz if not neto goes

      2. 15th Time Lucky
        • 3 Years
        5 months, 17 days ago

        I did Neto to Mbeumo and probably holding Bowen for now. He'll be going next week if it's long term. I dunt have either of those Defenders though.

        Neto does have a history of being eased back in after injuries so I was worried about his not being up to speed for the two good home games. That was before O'Neil was in charge though, so might be different this time.

    6. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      5 months, 17 days ago

      how many do you think salah score this weekend ? ? ? he score 4 for egypt !

      1. The Knights Template
        • 10 Years
        5 months, 17 days ago

        Two goals this GW

        1. La Roja
          • 12 Years
          5 months, 17 days ago

          Ambitious

        2. The Ejiptian King
          • 5 Years
          5 months, 17 days ago

          i think 2 or 3

      2. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        5 months, 17 days ago

        Hows scoring for Egypt has impact on scoring vs City away though?

        Will probably score a dirty penalty or a tap in though

        1. The Knights Template
          • 10 Years
          5 months, 17 days ago

          One of each most likely.

        2. The Ejiptian King
          • 5 Years
          5 months, 17 days ago

          he has good record vs manchester city ! and is the best player

          1. La Roja
            • 12 Years
            5 months, 17 days ago

            Sounds like you made up your mind!

      3. dansmusen
        • 6 Years

        3 I hope since I am putting my armband on him.

    7. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      5 months, 17 days ago

      Any recent update on Bowen everyone?

      1. The Knights Template
        • 10 Years
        5 months, 17 days ago

        None

      2. bench boost for every gamew…
        • 7 Years
        5 months, 17 days ago

        No, next we will hear is from Moyes. He's not always very concrete, so unless it's a long term injury I'm not expecting clarity.

    8. kellamergh
      • 5 Years
      5 months, 17 days ago

      Would you save FT?

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        5 months, 17 days ago

        I’d wc that team

      2. kellamergh
        • 5 Years
        5 months, 17 days ago

        Areola
        Gabriel Cash Lascelles
        Saka Gordon Salah Mbeumo Son
        (H)aaland Watkins

        Turner Archer Branthwaite Taylor

        1. La Roja
          • 12 Years

        D*ck Emery last will be a real treat, I used to enjoy his japes back in the 70’s, when denim armour was all the rage!

        1. Merlin the Wraith
          • 7 Years
          5 months, 17 days ago

          Sounds about right, hoping we're too sleepy to notice.

      5. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years

        Well done. Making up for yesterday

      6. Sharkytect
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 months, 17 days ago

        Of course, the critical ones right at the end.

        Moyes (Bowen), De Zarbi (Mitoma and Estupinan), Emeri (Cash) and Pep (Haaland). Hoping all my flags get turned off around 2pm...

    10. aapoman
      • 10 Years
      5 months, 17 days ago

      Am I insane for starting to consider Reece James? I still have my WC active so if he backfires he is easy to get out.

      1. aapoman
        • 10 Years
        5 months, 17 days ago

        Sorry not active... I meant WC is still available.

      2. kellamergh
        • 5 Years
        5 months, 17 days ago

        Everytime I bring James in, he does nowt.
        Personally, I'm not a fan.

      3. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        5 months, 17 days ago

        Not with those fixtures imo

      4. The Knights Template
        • 10 Years
        5 months, 17 days ago

        The truly insane are playing Mengi this week!

      5. mwa1t
        • 3 Years
        5 months, 17 days ago

        I’ve got him in as a differential. Think the potential upsides are worth it and at his price he’s not hard to get out

      6. Feed tha Sheep
        • 11 Years
        5 months, 17 days ago

        As you say having your WC helps. If nothing else pressing he should be nice dofferntial to have (obviously remembering he can/probably will get injured at some point)

    11. The Mighty Whites
      • 9 Years
      5 months, 17 days ago

      Bench one:
      Diaby
      Mbuemo
      Alvarez
      Archer

      1. Cojones of Destiny
        • 6 Years
        5 months, 17 days ago

        Arch

      2. The Knights Template
        • 10 Years
        5 months, 17 days ago

        Archer is a longbow-man?

      3. dansmusen
        • 6 Years
        5 months, 17 days ago

        When in doubt always bench the cheapest player. Less value for every point you miss.

      4. Feed tha Sheep
        • 11 Years
        5 months, 17 days ago

        Archer

    12. mwa1t
      • 3 Years
      5 months, 17 days ago

      RMWCT

      Areola - Fabianski
      Ait Nouri - James - Zinchenko - Branthwaite - Baldock
      Saka - Salah - Son - Mbuemo - Palmer
      Archer - Watkins - Haaland

      1. aapoman
        • 10 Years
        5 months, 17 days ago

        I like the attack but the defense is just asking for trouble. Need at least few nailed players there

    13. dansmusen
      • 6 Years
      5 months, 17 days ago

      Damn just seen that flag on Kabore...was my main man this week.

      1. Feed tha Sheep
        • 11 Years
        5 months, 17 days ago

        Concussion apparently so can’t see him playing (I have him too)

    14. Feed tha Sheep
      • 11 Years
      5 months, 17 days ago

      2Fts and 0ITB..best option please?

      Areola Turner
      Trippier Cash Mitchell (Livramento Kabore)
      Salah Son Bowen Mitoma Gordon
      Haaland Watkins (Archer)

      A. Cash & Bowen > Saliba & Mbeumo
      B. Mitoma > Eze/Palmer
      C. Bowen > Mbeumo
      D. C and D for free
      E. Something else

      1. rjcv177
        • 8 Years
        5 months, 17 days ago

        I did C...but in your case would go B to Eze and see how long bowen is out. Next week u can go bowen to mbeumo

        1. Feed tha Sheep
          • 11 Years
          5 months, 17 days ago

          And play Archer this week? Or Livramento?

      2. mwa1t
        • 3 Years
        5 months, 17 days ago

        B&C

        1. mwa1t
          • 3 Years
          5 months, 17 days ago

          Or as above said save the Mbuemo transfer for next week. I back Brentford to score against Arsenal though…

          Cheers. Would you keep if any are confirmed fit? Eze or palmer?

            Probably keep Bowen if for. Still do Mitoma > Palmer imo. Brighton are unconvincing + rotation + points get shared around a lot. Palmer looks important to Chelsea and on pens

        Yikes. Not a clue ha! Perhaps Mbuemo bc he’s your cheapest player with hardest fixture. Brentford are good on the counter against big teams though

      So if Bowen is out, be safe, be boring and go Mbeumo?
      My first thought was Eze but CP ain't impressive in terms of attacking and Luton is pretty good at home. I've been also thinking Kudus but not sure how they will preform without Bowen. Probably a bit too early for me to go Palmer. Apart from these I'm fairly tempted by Gordon, two home fixtures, attacking team, fixtures maybe not easy on paper but can see points.

      So glad I planned to have 2FT over the IB.

      Current squad has many flags...

      Lamptey, Kabore, Cash, Bowen and Haaland!

      Looks like I need more than my 2FT.

      Johnstone - Gabriel, Castagne, Maguire - Salah, Saka, JWP, Rashord - Haaland, Watkins, Archer (Mitoma for Archer if declared fit)
      Rollft, 1.1. in bank
      Captain: Rashford - suspended for CL game, 90 mins guaranteed, with Hojlund doubtful probably as striker
      Don't think that any other player will haul this gw, and even if Haaland/Salah record double digit returns, there will be plenty of games to catch them.. thoughts?

        Don’t see what’s leading you to believe Rashford will haul

          he will not probably, but who will? this GW seems like a good opportunity for captain punt with not much to lose even if you miss

        I'm struggling to find this Rashford dude in the list of mids. He any good?

          Although tbf I'm about to buy a mid on the same number of points. But still... I don't get it, looks like outdated blind faith to me

            this is his last game in my team regardless of how he performs

      Do we have any confirmation on Bowen being out?
