      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
      10 months, 15 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.

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

      Nope

    3. Villan83
      • 14 Years
      10 months, 15 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

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

    ?

  6. g40steve
    • 6 Years

    Start 1?

    A Tsimikas could get an Assist

    Or

    B Lascelles solid defence

    1. Eze Really?
      • 10 Years
      10 months, 15 days ago

      Tsimi could not start
      Lasc could get a point

    2. Letsgo!
      • 7 Years

      Solid defence? Lol since when?

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

  7. DagheMunegu

    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

    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!

        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!

    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
      10 months, 15 days ago

      Cash to CP or Wol def and save ft

  16. Cojones of Destiny
    • 6 Years
    10 months, 15 days ago

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

    1. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 15 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
        10 months, 15 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
      • 4 Years
      10 months, 15 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.

  17. JIMMY TUGGINS

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

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      10 months, 15 days ago

      Two goals this GW

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        10 months, 15 days ago

        Ambitious

      2. JIMMY TUGGINS
        • 5 Years
        10 months, 15 days ago

        i think 2 or 3

    2. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      10 months, 15 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
        10 months, 15 days ago

        One of each most likely.

      2. JIMMY TUGGINS
        • 5 Years
        10 months, 15 days ago

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

        1. La Roja
          • 12 Years
          10 months, 15 days ago

          Sounds like you made up your mind!

    3. dansmusen

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

  18. La Roja
    • 12 Years
    10 months, 15 days ago

    Any recent update on Bowen everyone?

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      10 months, 15 days ago

      None

    2. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 15 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.

  19. kellamergh

    Would you save FT?

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years

    2. kellamergh

      Areola
      Gabriel Cash Lascelles

      Well done. Making up for yesterday

    6. Sharkytect
      • 10 Years
      10 months, 15 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...

  21. aapoman
    • 10 Years
    10 months, 15 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
      10 months, 15 days ago

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

    2. kellamergh
      • 5 Years
      10 months, 15 days ago

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

    3. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      10 months, 15 days ago

      Not with those fixtures imo

    4. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      10 months, 15 days ago

      The truly insane are playing Mengi this week!

    5. mwa1t
      • 3 Years
      10 months, 15 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
      • 12 Years
      10 months, 15 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)

  22. The Mighty Whites
    • 9 Years

    Mbuemo
    Alvarez

    1. Cojones of Destiny

      Arch

    2. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      10 months, 15 days ago

      Archer is a longbow-man?

    3. dansmusen
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 15 days ago

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

    4. Feed tha Sheep
      • 12 Years
      10 months, 15 days ago

      Archer

  23. mwa1t

    RMWCT

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

    1. aapoman
      • 10 Years

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

  24. dansmusen

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

    1. Feed tha Sheep
      • 12 Years

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

  25. Feed tha Sheep
    • 12 Years
    10 months, 15 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
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 15 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
        • 12 Years
        10 months, 15 days ago

        And play Archer this week? Or Livramento?

    2. mwa1t
      • 3 Years
      10 months, 15 days ago

      B&C

      1. mwa1t
        • 3 Years
        10 months, 15 days ago

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

      2. Feed tha Sheep
        • 12 Years
        10 months, 15 days ago

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

        1. mwa1t
          • 3 Years
          10 months, 15 days ago

          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

          1. mwa1t
            • 3 Years
            10 months, 15 days ago

            If fit*

  26. rjcv177
    • 9 Years
    10 months, 15 days ago

    Bench one lol

    Salah, Son, saka, diaby, mbeumo
    Watkins, Álvarez, Darwin

    Thkx in adv

    1. mwa1t
      • 3 Years
      10 months, 15 days ago

      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

  27. Atimis
    • 8 Years
    10 months, 15 days ago

    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?
