    You'd think Hwang was prime Ronaldo from all the posts on here. Personally happy that I stuck to my guns and brought Bailey in instead. Nicely setup for 29 as well.

      Well played. I was torn on Douglas Luiz v Hwang, thought Luiz would play deeper with Kamara out injured

        Yeah I wasn't conceived by Luiz either. Nice result for his owners.

      Wolves midfilders are often put in the same bracket as Messi or Ronaldo.

      I think it was in the summer of 2022 when everyone on here was going for one of them, today I don’t even remember his name.

          Memory is overrated, you can not remember what you’ve had for breakfast or what are you doing in this meeting and still be the president of one of the most powerful countries in the world.

      Nice to have the points return to vindicate the decision making but Wolves /Hee Chan haven't played yet.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        That is true. Let's see how he goes tonight

        It doesn't matter if Hwang outscores the Villa boys, the point is it was ridiculous how pretty much everyone made him out to be THE option this week even if you weren't Free Hitting in 29.

    4. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 months, 13 days ago

      Hwang a good option but yesterday definitely worked out in favour of those planning not to FH in GW29 with Bailey and Luiz both scoring big. Still glad I've got Hwang though otherwise, I'd have been down to 10 after Walker no show yesterday and I can keep him now rather than Gordon for future GWs.

    5. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 months, 13 days ago

      How much of that decision was influenced by avoiding FH in 29?

      1. fish&chips
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 months, 13 days ago

        Heavily. At least wanted to keep options open before cup results and villa mids looked to be as decent options as wolves

      Anyone playing Sheffield is prime Ronaldo

    7. Amsterhammer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 months, 13 days ago

      We will see. I went without him, as for me it represented one less player for 29/an extra transfer. I do not think it is one of those situations where there is an obvious correct decision. Mostly it comes down to playing style.

    8. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      2 months, 13 days ago

      I think GW29 and FH is a big factor.

      A few weeks ago on X the feeling was FH in a blank with just a few fixtures was not a good idea, now all the CCs are lauding it and are all balls in ... it's a fickle world.

      Personally I went with Luiz even though I am Free Hitting in 29, but just fancied keeping my options open just in case we see a few upsets.

      At the moment I only have Robinson, Beyer, Pau & Luiz (bought Villa boys this week) so most likely have to FH no matter what.

      Those Wolves fixtures are pretty tempting though.

  2. C0YS
    • 8 Years
    2 months, 13 days ago

    Pick 1:

    A) Foden
    B) Richarlison
    C) D. Luiz

    Currently own A and B, will be getting rid of 1 or both, funds aren't an issue.

    Cheers!

      Picking to get rid? Or to play?

      1. C0YS

        To play

    2. Pat Bonner

      If Foden got double figures vs Man U would you be surprised

      1. Tripleh123

        Similar dilemma here. Want to get Son in for next gw but deciding between getting rid of Foden or Bowen keeping in mind blank Gw29.

    Is there any better feeling in FPL than your defender getting subbed after 60 mins with a CS and then their team conceding? Sensational Lamptey!

      Remember Guy Demel was an fpl legend for doing this!

          It was also the way he got the points! Subbed off just after the hour most weeks made him more likely to bank a clean sheet

    Morning all. Any idea why the last 15 mins of the Wolves game , SKY are showing is going to clash with the opening 15 mins of the Carabo Cup final which is also shown by SKY? Cheers

    1. Thomas Docherty
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 1 Year
      2 months, 13 days ago

      The Met Police said they would only allow the Final to kick-off at that time, and the Wolves/Sheffield Utd game was already booked in for Sky. The PL decided that it would be unfair on travelling fans to move the match, so there’s an overlap. It’s case of PL putting supporters who go to a match ahead of the broadcasters for once!

    Points below are worth noting if looking to bring in Salah this GW:

    - Salah is a serious doubt for the final today.
    - played more mins than he should have after a grade 2 hamstring injury and ended up missing the Luton game.
    - midweek FAC fixture against Southampton
    - how you plan to navigate BGW29 will impact the transfer - nfo (A), Prague (A), MCI, Prague (H), likely BGW29

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 months, 13 days ago

      All good points but got plenty of time/games to be played before the deadline. I’m pretty set on leaving salah until 30 but let’s see what happens….no ones making early transfers this week surely!

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 5 Years
        2 months, 13 days ago

        Just look at the top transfers in and out...

        There are folks on here that have had enough of KDB and Salah isn't flagged in FPL

        1. Pat Bonner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          2 months, 13 days ago

          Crazy! Price changes should be ignored at this stage of the season as well but this week especially

          1. The Ilfordian
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            2 months, 13 days ago

            Agreed and I don’t think I can get Salah in without serious surgery and loss of good players. However, Darwin to Solanke is frustrating given likely price changes- tempted to keep Darwin for Forest if he’s fit

            1. Pat Bonner
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              2 months, 13 days ago

              I’ve got Darwin and kdb and could get solanke and son - might do both/one or none of those. Actually really like Darwin and kdb this week so if fit I’m tempted to save

          2. Tonyawesome69
            • 5 Years
            2 months, 13 days ago

            Absolutely, FAC results will impact chip strategy and how to navigate BGW29

    2. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 2 Years
      2 months, 13 days ago

      As long as he's fit enough to start building up some mins in the 2 cup games, he's in for me

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 5 Years
        2 months, 13 days ago

        I would be comfortable going there if his mins are managed over the 2 cup games. Playing 53 mins after grade 2 hammy then ruled out the Luton game was poorly handled by Liverpool

        1. The Mentaculus
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 2 Years
          2 months, 13 days ago

          I mean, I'm on WC now so its an easier decision (rather than having to prioritise between Son, Salah, Solanke etc) as long the injury isn't mismanaged this week

          1. Tonyawesome69
            • 5 Years
            2 months, 13 days ago

            I can see some WCs been used after FAC games.

  7. Warby84
    • 8 Years
    2 months, 13 days ago

    What to do with Kyle Walker? Would you play vs United and then move on after, or move this week for a hit?

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 months, 13 days ago

      I’d keep. That Man U game looks great and imagine he’ll play (never be sure with pep!)

  8. Pat Bonner

    FPL can be random sometimes….ive got double arsenal defence somehow still got Dan burn. That willock goal gave me a green arrow

    1. BECKS TO THE FUTURE

      Did you get a green arrow tho’? That’s what we need to kno’.

      1. Pat Bonner

    2. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 months, 13 days ago

      A lot of luck involved, I benched Branthwaite yesterday then after he scored and he was on 15 points I was hoping Everton would concede to reduce the magnitude of my error. Now I wish they didn't after Walker no show resulted in me getting his 9 points and as a result a small green arrow which could have been a lot larger.

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 months, 13 days ago

        Loads of luck with burn getting an assist given how bad a pick he is. Even the fact he didn’t start helped. 9 points is still massive for you this week given the average score - he’s a much better pick than burn so you deserve it more than me!

    1. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 months, 13 days ago

      Stalling the KDB to Salah move. Doesn’t mean he isn’t fit enough to come off the bench of course

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 5 Years
        2 months, 13 days ago

        Still have 2 games to get some mins before the deadline. Definitely would prefer the mins are managed though.

      Klopp made a Mistake playing Salah against Brentford imo

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 5 Years
        2 months, 13 days ago

        Mistake was giving him more mins than planned against Brentford. Elliott should have came on for Jota

        1. Eze Really?
          • 9 Years

          Agreed but the timing of injuries was harsh IMO

      2. bench boost for every gamew…
        • 7 Years

        At least for that long, but a series of unfortunate events in that Jota was injured. I was surprised it wasn't Gakpo' that came in.

    Saka Odegaard Son Neto Hwang
    Haaland Watkins Toney

    2. CONNERS

      yeah, I'd get Solanke for sure. FH in 29?

      1. KeanosMagic
        • 2 Years

        Yeah it's looking that way, but I'll wait till after the cup ties obviously

    3. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      2 months, 13 days ago

      A problem for many. If you can roll a transfer, do that. (Toney is no mug) or Put right the Pau, Estupinan type of issue IMO first.

    Another week, another red arrow ( unless Bowen and Reguilon become prime Salah and Cancelo )

    What would be your priority here?
    A) KDB to Son
    B) Estu to anyone

    1FT 1.1ITB
    Areola
    Cash Reguilon Robinson

    Thanks

    1. CONNERS
      • 5 Years

      First move I'd make is to get Gabriel or Saliba for Estu.

      1. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 months, 13 days ago

        Yeah, missed a lot of points not getting Gabriel back. Would you do it even if I’m planning to navigate 29 without a free hit? They could batter Sheffield United I suppose

    2. The Tonberry
        2 months, 13 days ago

        Agree the priority is getting an Arsenal defender in.

        1. PascalCygan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 months, 13 days ago

          Thanks, as above, even if not free hitting in 29?

          1. The Tonberry
              2 months, 13 days ago

              It's a tough choice. Your defence isn't strong whereas your midfield and attack could hold for a bit longer. But if you're prepping for BGW29 then it's understandable to bring in players that play in 29. If Chelsea lose their midweek cup game, then Arsenal will play in GW29 and the move would be a no brainer.

        • 9 Years
        2 months, 13 days ago

        I note the first post on this page.
        It is frustrating that a decision for GW29 pans out such as Douglas and Bailey nailing it. Chan has yet to play.
        You win; you lose. Part of FPL. My view remains at "play what is in front of you". Gone badly wrong for me. Congrats to those who chose that route. Typical Arsenal who cost me 22 points, albeit a majority effect.

        1. I Member
          • 8 Years
          2 months, 13 days ago

          This is what I don't understand. Villa are a better team than Wolves and also have great fixtures and they have a confirmed game in 29. Regardless of "playing what's infront of you" or planning for 29 they were solid options but the community group think made Hwang a massive bandwagon. I'm already seeing lots of managers benching Hwang next week.

          1. Eze Really?
            • 9 Years
            2 months, 13 days ago

            I agree with you totally. The bandwagon created by content creators is there and will remain so. I liked Chan for a lot of reasons with concerns with Bailey minutes, Losing Konsa, Carlos and Kamara. And Shef U enticing.
            Gone were the days of a clear head making your own decisions. I would love EO to be banned personally

          GTG indeed, just look out for Salah news, not with the team today it seems.

              Well yeah.. that might happen. But just look out for news was my point.

          Not sure I would get rid off Citys attacking players v MU.

            Specially when they play at home, City attacking players are very good at home and MU v top 6 away are awful.

              Yeah I think I agree. Plus with Son not having a single shot from the left in the previous game, Foden probably worth keeping for United.

        Wasn't there like 200k people who brought in Salah for this GW alone? Despite him having a blank GW and not playing v Luton last GW.

        No wonder content creators have plenty followers and so on, considering there are so many clueless people playing this game.
