    I was after some advice from members with at least a 5 next to their name. Which is the best option?

    1) Archer to Haaland
    2) Archer to Solanke
    3) Archer and Alvarez to Solanke and Haaland (-4)

    1. More Cowbell

      On the face of it I like A.
      If you take the hit who would you bench?

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        The piece of excrement that is Garnacho.

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

          So it’s Solanke -4 vs Garnacho

          That’s actually pretty tough. I’d probably resist the hit and hope Garnacho does it for you and Solanke has a quiet one.

            Thanks m8, appreciate the response

        2. KDB4PREZ
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Think I would do 3 and think of it as a long term move

    2. Snake Juice
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      3

    3. Casual Player
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Don’t have a 5 or higher so will withhold my opinion lol

      FWIW I think the correlation between years here and actually giving good advice in the comments would be pretty weak. But you do you. Plus side is I don’t get blamed for your misfortune if the 1 week variance goes wrong

        Did someone say something?

    Good ebening everyone

    1. Norco
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Please don't suck my blood

      1. Hank Sidebottom
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        My first ever post in 13 years, but that's funny.

  3. Norco
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Is Alvarez > Haaland for free the simple move?

    Could even do D.Luiz > KDB this week instead but then would have an absolute benching nightmare.

    Or be a nut job and do both for -4 but that would feel like being counterproductive.

    Saka Palmer Foden Jota D.Luiz*
    Solanke Watkins Alvarez*

    1. Alvarez > Haaland
    2. D.Luiz > KDB
    3. Alvarez + D.Luiz > Haaland + KDB (-4 and benching headaches)

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

      It’s the move I’ve made after much deliberation. GL

    2. KDB4PREZ
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I defo would for free

    3. Saka White Rice
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Haaland is the only player capable of getting you a hat trick

    4. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I took out Foden for Haaland instead. But who knows with Pep

    5. Casual Player
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah Alvarez to Haaland is the simple play (unless you have fodder or injured FWD to Haaland)

      People are tying themselves in knots to justify keeping Alvarez because he got 13 last start. If he got 5 or 2 like normal, or Haaland jagged a meaningless late goal, it wouldn’t even be a debate

    Hi gents,
    Can anyone else envisage a scenario where fantasy football overtakes real football in terms of commercial value, with FPL pros celebrated and paid more than premier league players and interviewed after game weeks on motd?

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

      Yeah, no.

    2. Bonus magnet
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Friday night chat this

      1. MikeS
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        You heard it here first

    3. MikeS
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      We could soon see a situation which. The value of fantasy football is such that instead of the real game Influencing the former, the former could Influence the latter for example offside goals being allowed if they aid the best and richest fpl players; infield decisions could be overturned to benefit online games!

  5. FISSH
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Bench Toney or Neto?

    1. KDB4PREZ
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Neto

    2. Saka White Rice
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Super incredibly easy bench Neto

  6. Letsgo!
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Start haaland and alvarez
    Or haaland and foden

    1. KDB4PREZ
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Foden for me

  7. KDB4PREZ
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    A) -4 Alvarez > Haaland
    B) Hold

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

      The conclusion I’ve come to is:
      For free: do it
      -4: hold

      1. KDB4PREZ
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        But the FOMO is real! And it’s only Friday

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

          It’s just a game brotha! Do what will be most fun!

          1. KDB4PREZ
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Best way to play the game! Goodluck man

  8. Saka White Rice
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Hear me out. Ben Crellin said there is a 15% chance of Liverpool doubling in 25 which is pretty low obviously. This makes it easier to get rid of Trent and Salah since they'll be blanking on 26.

    1) Alvarez Salah TAA > Haaland KDB 5.0 defender for a -4
    2) Alvarez Salah > Haaland Richarlison

    Advantage of 1 is I'm all set for double gameweek.and Richarlison is good but he blanks in 26

    1. KDB4PREZ
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Any other way of doing A but keeping Trent till after Burnley next week?

      1. Saka White Rice
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        No it's the only way

    2. Norco
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Didn't Liverpool remove all stadium tours for that specific midweek slot?

      1. Saka White Rice
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Not sure if this is confirmed

        1. Norco
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          It's not available to book on the LFC website.

    3. When Crellin starts plucking percentages out of thin air, it is usually time to prepare for any eventuality (like most smart managers were doing anyway)

      1. Saka White Rice
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah but it is true dgw25 seems unlikely for Liverpool.

        1. That seems to be where we are at this moment in time.

      2. Casual Player
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah you’ve said it more succinctly then I did below

    4. Casual Player
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I think there is precedent for EPL announcing a DGW immediately after a FPL deadline.

      I don’t know why Crellin puts %s on these things, it’s a hiding to nothing for him. Just as useful and less risk for him to say , “I thought the DGW was very likely, but now they didn’t announce by Friday I think it’s unlikely”

      Rant aside both moves are ok IMO

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

    Is this the correct front 7?

    KDB, Foden, Richarlison, Palmer (Saka)
    Haaland, Solanke, Watkins

    1. KDB4PREZ
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Yep from me

    2. Bonus magnet
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Who are you capping

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

        Leaning towards Haaland at the minute.

        1. Bonus magnet
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Can’t think of a stronger front 7

          Unless you want to take a big gamble on either Gordon or Man U mid

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

            Yeah, Gordon could do big damage

  10. The Senate
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Saka + Pedro to Haaland + Garnacho worth -4? Would captain Haaland

    1. KDB4PREZ
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Yes from me

    2. dennis the menace
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Yer probably just

  11. Hanz0
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Thoughts on captaining Gordon over the likes of De Bruyne / Solanke?

    Could be playing upfront, playing at home. Will Luton be slightly more attacking minded and open at the back having scored 4 vs Brighton?

    1. KDB4PREZ
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      KDB for me and I own all 3

      1. Hanz0
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Yh, comes with the bonus of captain playing last on Monday as opposed to tomorrow

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

      Yeah man, I can see it. Would be huge if it paid off

      1. Hanz0
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Yeh the upside would be huge, not that crazy to imagine a KDB 3 pointer if only playing 60 mins

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

          Can see about 60 as well.

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

    Olise or Gordon?

    1. KDB4PREZ
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Gordon for sure

    2. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Gordon based on fixtures

  13. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Any advice on my team please? Not sure what to do.

    Dubravka (Areola)
    TAA, Konsa, Porro (Gabriel, Lascelles)
    Gordon, Foden, Saka, Palmer, Bowen
    Watkins, Haaland (Archer)

    1FT, 3.2m ITB

    A) Saka/Bowen -> Jota
    B) Saka/Bowen -> KDB
    C) Konsa -> Estu
    D) Other

    1. KDB4PREZ
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      B

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

      B Bowen

  14. Saka White Rice
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Best defender under 5m is Gabriel right?

    1. KDB4PREZ
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I prefer Botman for next 5-10 games

      1. Saka White Rice
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Own Trip already

    2. Rod Liddle's Young One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

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

      Technically he's not under 5m, but yeah

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

    Is Alvarez expected to keep starting?

    1. Bonus magnet
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I would expect him to continue

      I would imagine Foden more at risk now

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

        Ty

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Rotation from now on

        Fantastic!!! Cheers guys!! A has been my favourite idea the past few days

    3. C0YS
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      A for sure, the fact that you can't get Haaland right away otherwise seals it

    Evening All. Who should I bench? Thanks in advance:

    a) Gusto (WOL)
    b) Estupinan (CPL)
    c) Saka (LIV)

    1. Rod Liddle's Young One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Gusto

    2. Adamdashi
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I always favour attackers so A

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

      A

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

        That's pretty conclusive. Thanks for the quick responses!

    4. BeWater
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      A

  19. Tmel
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Bench one (Draft FPL):

    a) Neto (che)
    b) Kudus (mun)
    c) Toney (MCI)

    1. Connor's Calling
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Neto

  20. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    What to do with this bunch?

    Dub Areola
    TAA Gab Saliba Porro Taylor
    Foden Saka Bowen Gordon Palmer
    Solanke Alvarez Watkins

    2 FTs 9m in bank

    a) Haaland in for who
    b) KDB/another mid in
    c) something else

    1. Connor's Calling
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Bowen -> KDB looks reasonable ahead of City double?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Would make Haaland much more difficult.

        1. Connor's Calling
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          You can pretty much do anything with 3 transfers tho right?

          So given your 2FT, take a hit and you can get him in. Watkins and Solanke could pay for the hit this weekend

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Would need a big downgrade to get him.

    2. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Solanke (no thankee) to Haaland.

    3. Mr.SHaMBLes
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Could you do Alvarez to Haaland this week and roll 2nd.
      Next week Bowen and Watkins to KDB and Toney? Gives an extra double for 25 (although Watkins has good fixtures)

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        0.5 short

    4. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Cheers all.

  21. Connor's Calling
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Bench one:
    A) Alvarez (planning to start KDB and Haaland currently)
    B) Jota (only Liv player I own)
    C) Richarlison

    1. C0YS
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Tough one, but it's got to be Alvarez, doesn't it

      1. Connor's Calling
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Think so, just

  22. C0YS
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    2 potential transfers:
    1. Watkins -> Haaland
    2. Gross -> Jota/Olise/Richarlison

    1. C0YS
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Oops, disregard

    2. Connor's Calling
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      Anything else you can do??

  23. jonnybhoy
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Evening all. Which one to opt for?

    Leno
    Gabriel Estu Porro
    Saka Palmer Richarlison Gordon Foden
    Watkins Solanke

    Aerola Colwill* Kabore* Mubama

    A) Mubama to Haaland (benching headache)
    B) Colwill to Trippier (bench Gabriel)
    C) both for -4

    1. Connor's Calling
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      A

  24. Letsgo!

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah, normally with Haaland.

    Raya Areola
    Gabriel Porro Guehi Konsa TAA
    Saka Bowen Palmer Gordon Foden
    Watkins Solanke Archer

    2FT, what should I do?

    1) Archer to Haaland, roll the other FT and then have benching headaches
    2) Archer and TAA to Haaland and Trippier for free but still have benching headaches
    3) Solanke , Bowen and TAA to Haaland, KDB and Trippier/ Estu for a -4 and sleep well knowing there is no bench problem
    4) Solanke and TAA to Haaland and Trippier/ Estu for free
    5) Any other suggestions

    Dubravka
    Trent, Porro, Moreno
    Gordon, Kdb, Palmer, Richi,
    Haaland, Watkins, Darwin
    (Areola, Foden, Gusto, Gabs)

    Can't decide whether to bench Foden or start him ahead of Darwin??

    Was all set on Haaland in for a hit this week: TAA, Alvarez to Schar, Haaland.

    Now considering J Pedro to Solanke for free but it would mean waiting until gw25 for Haaland (don't really want to take out Trent before Burnley, especially for -4).

    Should I just get Haaland for the hit this week?

    Forwards are Watkins solanke Alvarez, thinking I need to get Haaland.
    A)Alvarez and bowen to Haaland and garrancho
    B) solanke and bowen to Haaland and garrancho
    C) open to other suggestions
