    Does anyone fancy Gordon to get something against City? Looked quite lively today (along with Isak) despite Newcastle’s form.

    1. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Man City don't like clean sheets, so it's very possible.

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

      No, not really.

      There are many better midfielders to pick.

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

        Douglas Luiz and Palmer are the only other mids I’d consider now around his price point.

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

      He definitely could get something but NEW are in a hole atm. I’ve already switched to Bowen.

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

        Good move. I have both.

    4. sincerely...joe
      • 2 Years

      I've got Gordon, and I'll be keeping him. I fancy him to get a return, along with either Isak or Wilson. Man City keep giving chances. Gordon is a fighter and Isak and Wilson are finishers.

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

        True, reckon he’s a decent budget mid option alongside Palmer. Facilitates Salah/Son/Haaland longer term too.

    5. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I thought he looked poor. Looked Tired. Was walking around the pitch at one point.. can't wait to get rid

      1. sincerely...joe
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        But, Messi walks around the pitch 89' per game, and...

    6. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Yes.

  2. manutd99

    Tough decision

    Salah to Palmer now or wait

    TV low and Salah will go down and palmer will go up. So will be a big swing

    Yay or nay

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

      I’d do it

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

      Yeah I think it's probably low enough risk to be worth doing.

    3. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Yay. Think of the unlocked riches

    4. sincerely...joe
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Depends what your risk tolerance is. Chelsea have two fixtures before gw 21 (FA Cup and EFL Cup). Palmer will feature in both, surely. But, probably not needed for full 90 min.

    5. manutd99
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      tempted to do it

    6. sincerely...joe
      • 2 Years

      wait. you're a man utd fan. you cannot bring palmer in. garnacho it is.

      1. manutd99
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        United too up and down. I try not to get influenced by who I support. Although do occasionally eg beginning of season with Rashford and Onana

        1. sincerely...joe
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Looked like good picks until...they didn't. Lots of people fell for the hype.

          1. manutd99
            • 16 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Yep I did too. Hoping they would get better. Hung onto them too long as well

  3. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Would foden still be worthwhile if haaland is back?

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

      Depends where he’ll be deployed by Pep

    2. sincerely...joe
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      yep

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

      I think so yes.

  4. Orion
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Pick two to get in:
    A) Richarlison
    B) Bowen
    C) Jota

    Cheers

    1. sincerely...joe
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      B and D

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

    Team is looking quite good. Only player I'm missing is TAA.

    Areola
    Porro Colwill Gabriel
    Saka Richarlison Foden Palmer
    Haaland Watkins Alvarez
    (Dubravka Carlos Lascelles Salah)

    Is it worth doing Salah > Bowen and bench Rich? That also opens the funds for Trent.

    I have a team that could be able to just hold Salah until he comes back. It's only a few weeks... Could even be just 1 GW if Egypt don't make it out of their group...

    1. sincerely...joe
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Chances are Egypt will get past group stage. I'd go Salah to Bowen and bench Richarlison, as you suggested (and buy Trent).

    2. Orion
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Seems it is worth … As I read here on multiple posts, Salah & Son are going to drop in price by, at least, 0.2 each

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

        Having owned Salah all season makes him quite tough to let go of. Also, the only thing he'd really enable for my team is Trent. Their fixtures while he's away are bou CHE ars probably. Is that really worth selling him, using a bunch of transfers only to buy him back?

        I guess I'm gonna want to see if they blank/double in 26/25 and then make a call. I think I'm likely to roll this week and reassess.

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

          Yeah I’m owe him also from the start… And I’m still not sure what to do

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

            It depends on the rest of your team. I have high TV so don't lose much by benching Salah. For most teams, it probably makes sense to sell.

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

              Think I might take a risk and transfer them out… It’s going to be fun at least 🙂

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

          Had my WC last week - sold Son, dropping 0.5m but kept Salah to captain this week. I still plan to sell him before the next gw, dropping 0.4m, but I don't know who I'll get, hopefully Maddison or KDB

          It feels like dropping a lot of TV but I've already clawed 0.4m back by getting Foden and Bowen

          When they come back, I may want Son more than Salah, and whichever I get may replace Saka instead of Bowen or Foden

          With your team, If Haaland is back then I would prefer to get Bowen in for Salah as opposed to starting Alvarez as well ... If Haaland isn't back then I would still prefer Bowen over Carlos ... So you should still get to play Richarlison

    3. _Freddo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Salah said he wants to win it, can see them going for it.

      1. sincerely...joe
        • 2 Years

        If he really wanted to win AFCON, he would've rested today. He's so selfish.

    4. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      You basically already have the template AFCON team ex. TAA and Bowen as you say, so are well placed

  6. Adamdashi
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years

    Got 0.3 value in Son and 0.4 in Salah..worth knee jerk selling now to cash in?

    1. sincerely...joe
      • 2 Years

      knee jerking is more fun than playing it safe. go for it!

  8. Make FPL Casual Again

    What would an optimal GW21 wildcard look like ?

    Try to attack the next 5 fixtures...factoring in Haaland etc

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

      Raya Areola
      TAA Porro Colwill Gabriel Estupinan
      Foden Saka Palmer Richarlison Bowen
      Haaland Watkins Solanke

      Probably smth like this.

      1. Make FPL Casual Again
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        -Neto highest ppm gk
        -Gusto better than Colwill ?
        -Solankes fixtures difficult; Jiminez allows funds for Trips in a couple of gws
        -include Haaland; too soon?

        1. Make FPL Casual Again
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          And Olise needs to be factored in ...

          1. Make FPL Casual Again
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Also Branthwaite as another cheap enabler allowing easier access back to Salah/Son

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

      My GW20 wc - 2.1m ITB
      Ederson Leno
      Moreno Estupian Trent Porro Gusto
      Saka Foden Bowen Palmer Salah
      Watkins Solanke Alvarez

      I regret getting Alvarez as he's using my 3rd MCI spot - the simple plan is to swap him and Salah for Haaland and Richarlison

      I can't get e.g. KDB with one move, or if Haaland is fit but Solanke had been injured, I would also need two moves

      I'll miss Trippier soon and Doughty or Senesi may be better than Gusto

      1. Make FPL Casual Again
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        -Eder a no go
        - not sure about Moreno, didn't do much last season attacking wise
        - interesting suggestions on Senesi/Doughty; think latters fixtures at an end, and dont want to double up on Neto
        - need to factor in route back to Trips as priority

        -

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

          Ended up on Ederson as the MCI defenders are all meh and I want a piece of any upcoming double. I was pleasantly shocked at getting a CS this week

          Moreno and Estupian are gambles but the up side is so much more rewarding - I feel cleansed not having any Arsenal defenders

          Had Senesi before the WC but he was on 4YC and a fixture blip, Gusto had 2 nice fixtures short term

          Saka + Gusto >> Gordon + Trippier works 🙂

      1. GreennRed

        Yes. But only because the Luton game abandoned. Otherwise would be 4 in 19 games.

    Hi all, emerging from hiding after benching Palmer, that really stung. What’s the short list of Salah / Son replacements looking like?

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

      Here’s a stab:-

      Premium:
      Saka, Ode, Jota/Diaz, Bowen

      Mid
      Richarlison, Groß, Eze, Olise, Neto, Bailey, Luiz

      Cheap
      Elanga, Garnacho

      Am I missing any? Price determines how easy it is to get Haaland in

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

        You need a (Early) Punt list too - KDB, Maddison

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

      PS sorry about the Palmer thing, I was seeing teams where I’d have benched Palmer too. That’s why it’s great owning Archer

      1. More Cowbell
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers mate, good suggestions. And thanks, I don’t often let the game get me down any more but that one hurt. It was a decision I’d pondered over all week!

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

      Rank the mids by form on the official site and dismiss anyone flagged or that you already own.

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

          It generates a short list. Who you choose is up to you.

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

    Pretty set on getting one of the Palace mids...

    Eze and Olise have pretty similar underlying data - any preference for one or the other?

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

      I’m leaning that way too. Olise hammy to be monitored of course but I don’t think it was serious. It’s difficult to ignore Olise form but I think I read Eze has the slightly better underlying numbers?

    2. Podge
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      That's an eze decision

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

        Quality of available puns does rank quite high on my list of filters.

    3. sincerely...joe
      • 2 Years

      Prefer Olise if he’s fit. Wait and see.

    4. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Olise just looks good on the eye test, could play for any of the top 4 teams. However that doesn't necessarily mean he will outscore Eze

      1. Make FPL Casual Again
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        His last two seasons record isnt great....wonder whats changed...position/role?

    5. More Cowbell
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Eze is frustrating to own! I think I’d go for Olise purely for a change!

    6. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Tough call, they both share set pieces - I would say Olise just ahead at moment (depending on the hammy situation) Eze himself only just back from recent injury. Main reason for our poor run is we not had both of them fit playing at same time this season like we did in that run of wins at end of last season.

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

      Olise is the man in form right now, and has been fitter a little longer (Eze does concern me with recent injury woes).

      Eze is of course good and has the penalty duties. Not an easy one. Olise edges it for me in form.

    1. GW 21, Trippier + Salah out -> Gusto + Bowen/Saka (-4).
    GW 22, Son out for Saka/Bowen + Alvarez-> Haaland. (-4). Back to back -4's..
    2. Salah + Son -> Saka + 7.1m GW 22- Haaland in for Alvarez (ft).
    3..Salah + Son -> Bowen + 8.1m (-4). GW 22- Haaland in for Alvarez (ft).

    Luiz, Foden, Palmer.
    Watkins, Solanke, Alvarez.
    Dubravka, Salah, Son, Beyer.

  16. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Woke up to a nice 32 point haul for Salah with Bowen left to go but looking at my reasonably expensive defence and the returns it has got me (3 points from 3 players) I wonder if it is not better to just bring in cheap defenders and use the difference in attack? Nobody is keeping clean sheets with any regularity, even Newcastle and Arsenal have looked off the boil recently. What is everybody else doing with their defence?

    1. lugs
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      nothing, all of my defenders are under 5m and i'll likely keep it that way

  17. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    1. Feanor
      • 16 Years

      Bowen or Foden
