    Remember when we always go on about getting the penalty taker? This is why.

    1. Shteve
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      Which penalty taker though!

      1. Randaxus
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 28 days ago

        That is the point before in this season I have had 7 players who take pens, also with the additionally time logically there will be additional penalties.

        1. Randaxus
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 28 days ago

          additional*

  2. Ibralicious

    Was looking at EO's and most people that owned both L. Diaz + VVD started VVD this week... was that the logical move because I totally did the opposite...

    1. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      Not from that perspective, but it seemed like benching decisions here for front 8 were much tougher than in defence. Think you have to set VVD against Porro/Moreno/Ake etc rather than Diaz

      1. Ibralicious
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 28 days ago

        Ah I see what you mean. Needing to start a defender VS being able to bench an attacker due to one with a more favorable fixture, etc. Completely forgot about that

  3. TheBiffas

    2 years, 28 days ago

    I went Muniz over Morris on wildcard, crazy?

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      No

    2. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      Yes considering how easy it would have been to swap

      1. TheBiffas
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 28 days ago

        I already have enough planned transfers to bring back Haaland, Foden and co. Didn't need another one

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      no, Muniz vs Sheffield Utd GW30

    4. GoonerByron
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      I’m planning to do the same on 29 WC

    5. FFS ManU
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      Not crazy but risky since you could have swapped them in GW30 instead.

    6. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      I like it

  4. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Bournemouth home to Everton in GW30 looking good for anyone holding their assets and using FH in GW29

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      Semenyo captain lol

    2. FFS ManU
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      Yes, Solanke has a good run of fixtures if he stays fit.

    3. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      Solanke is gone for me after this week. Fixtures are decent but Darwin's are better & I love him more. Had enough of this knee pain will he / won't he too

      1. The Mentaculus
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 28 days ago

        But Semenyo stays!

        1. TheBiffas
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 28 days ago

          What will be your front 3 then?

          1. The Mentaculus
            • 4 Years
            2 years, 28 days ago

            Haaland Darwin (Semenyo).

            352 with Salah, Saka, Son, Foden, Palmer

            1. TheBiffas
              • 5 Years
              2 years, 28 days ago

              I would love to go with Darwin over Watkins but not sure I've got the cojones

      2. FFS ManU
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 28 days ago

        Darwin is well on the way to proving his doubters wrong. I wouldn't mind him at Man Utd as well as Hojlund.

        1. The Mentaculus
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 28 days ago

          Yeah got my eye on Højlund if Man Utd double in 34. Also BUR the week after

  5. wayne3004
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 28 days ago

    Chances of that Saka flag being real?

    Saka, Ode, Palmer, Son
    Haaland, Watkins, Solanke

    Garnacho sub doing what Garnacho does when he’s benched.

    1. FFS ManU
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      Doubt it - feeling sick was quoted as the reason for him being subbed at half-time last week. He's probably ok by now.

      1. wayne3004
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 28 days ago

        Thank you, I didn’t realise that, thought he was rested given the scoreline.

        1. The Mentaculus
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 28 days ago

          Think that was more or less the case. Expect he would have played through if it was any kind of contest

          1. FFS ManU
            • 3 Years
            2 years, 28 days ago

            This

  6. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years

    Has anyone got ownership of these please

    Solanke
    Morris
    Salah

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      Around my rank 125K: Solanke EO 164%, Morris 25%, Salah 8%

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 28 days ago

        Wow at those last 2!

      2. Biggsy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 28 days ago

        178% Solanke

        Feeling fairly exposed here....

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 28 days ago

          Getting green arrows with just Solanke C is gorgeous

    Has FH been activated yet? 😉

    1. Ibralicious
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      Thinking of activating a Bus Team FH so my only 1 GW29 player is not left out there to fend for himself 😀

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 28 days ago

        Blimey, only one ... Watkins? Got 4 here.

        1. Ibralicious
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 28 days ago

          Actually it's 2 but I'd like to keep Taylor as far away from the pitch as possible

  9. Twisted Saltergater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Good start to the BB with Bruno scoring 🙂

  10. OptimusBlack
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 28 days ago

    6
    Kimnski
    Reguilón Doughty
    Son Bowen
    Watkins
    Those are my players for GW 29
    Players on Bench or not Play
    Dubravka (Nouri Gabriel Trippier Garnacho Foden
    Saka Soalnke & Haaland)
    Maybe Sell
    Tripper Garnacho for -4 and Get 8 Players ? Or FH Is the best way ?

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      Just FH

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      FH is fun

      Thxxx Guys

    4. FantasyTony
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      I'd take the hit. You've the main players you'd want on a FH.

  11. Randaxus
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 28 days ago

    Pens are interesting because you put yourself in the position to get lucky by getting a penalty taker, so it is partial skill.

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      Which is why there should be points awarded for winning a penalty, regardless of whether it is scored or not.

      Flabbergasted they haven’t made that improved development yet tbf

      1. TheBiffas
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 28 days ago

        A team doesn't benefit from a penalty being won if it isn't scored

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 28 days ago

          Fair, I just think the game’s system could be much more dynamic.

          I heard they do want to make improvements to the game but are worried about the mass appeal dropping

        2. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 28 days ago

          A team doesn’t benefit from a missed cross. And yet BPS for big chances created?

          (No idea if that’s true)

          1. TheBiffas
            • 5 Years
            2 years, 28 days ago

            So they should receive BPS for winning penalties, not points

            1. Scapegoat Salah
              • 9 Years
              2 years, 28 days ago

              What if the points system was just the BPS totals?…

          2. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 28 days ago

            I guess there must be BPS for winning a penalty

          3. The Mentaculus
            • 4 Years
            2 years, 28 days ago

            Does seem like BPS system rewards players for spamming crosses even if they're rubbish (ahem, Emerson Royale...) but who knows how it actually works

      2. The Mentaculus
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 28 days ago

        Are you morphing back to Sexy Salah tomorrow?

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 28 days ago

          You read my mind!

      3. Pedersen
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 28 days ago

        Time to get points from players looking weird at their opponents so they get grossed out and won't play as good!
        No seriously they really shouldn't add this...

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 28 days ago

          Fpl points I mean

    2. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      What if they miss?

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 28 days ago

        Not the penalty winner’s fault (unless they took it as well)

  12. Merlin the Wraith
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 28 days ago

    No players in this match so just toying with the FH, quite therapeutic lol 🙂

    1. iFash@FPL
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      True! Same here for me…

  13. Biggsy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 28 days ago

    Areola
    Porro, Pau, Doughty
    Son, Bowen
    Watkins, Morris, Adebayo*

    1FT. Guess it's Adebayo (if he doesn't make it) to Toney . Otherwise KDB to someone like Maddison?

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      Looks grand

    2. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      When will you WC? Luton fixture in 30 may tip it for Maddison if WC31 or later but if looking only at 29 I might be tempted by Bailey. Big Maddi fan but don't think he's quite at his best atm & fancy Villa's fixture more than Spurs'

      1. Biggsy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 28 days ago

        I probably should know the answer to that... Either 30 or 31 but not 100%. Maybe 30 solely because it gives me 2 weeks of tinkering as opposed to 2 days

          With £s left itb after my 1st FH draft you could buy DFS 🙂

      Both please!

        This

  18. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 28 days ago

    Just had what I think is a genius idea….

    What if instead of set points for returns, the points you get is such the BPS total for each player?

    Game would be so dynamic then!

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      Would see some crazy swings!

    2. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      Well, one positive is that people would take the time to understand the system rather than bitching and moaning about how they perceived it should work

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 28 days ago

        This is true, some of it may need adjusting though if went down that route

        1. Biggsy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 28 days ago

          Not necessarily, like with the current points scoring system, you'd just adapt the players you picked who scored best in the system.

          Rodri becoming a TC potential....

          1. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 28 days ago

            Yeah! Finally defensive mids with some presence, in terms of changes I was thinking players that spam crosses etc.

    3. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      Not a bad idea at all. Thinking of giving sky FF a try next year which I think is a bit more like that

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 28 days ago

        Oh really? Might have to take a look.

        That’s the 2 things I would change:
        1) Points is BPS
        2) Just pick an XI, only have a bench when Bench Boosting

  19. The Tinkerman
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 28 days ago

    Is 6 players enough for next GW?, Son is my only spurs player and nobody from Brentford… would need hits for more

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      Think 8 is optimal

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      I feel not enough

    3. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      Most are free hitting, expect a red arrow

    4. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      I think made a Perfect FH this GW is better thing and get players with low ownership as a differental

  20. -GK22-
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 28 days ago

    Worth a FH or -8 to get to 8 players?

    Current 5 are;

    Flekken
    Reguilon, Doughty
    Son
    Watkins

    1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      FH

    2. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      FH. 2 attackers not enough imo

    3. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      FH

    4. JBG
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      To help you make a decision, the players you would take out for -8, would you want them back in a GW or two? Also the players you are getting in, are they worth keeping?

      1. OptimusBlack
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 28 days ago

  21. HD7
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 28 days ago

    One of the teams in my league who is doing well used his WC this GW. His team is pretty much customized for the Gw 29. My question is did he also make plans that the same players are gonna be the same that he will want in GW31 and onwards?

    1. FFS ManU
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      If using his FTs in weeks 30 and 31 would end up with a decent looking starting lineup then he probably did.

      1. HD7
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 28 days ago

        I hope that we will need to make a lot of changes after 30/31 then

  22. Pacer.
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 28 days ago

    Garnacho truly is the anti-Gross isn't he. Needs a goal as well as two assists to get even a sniff of a bonus

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      Yeah what’s going on there? I’m not watching. He’s way back on 22.

      1. Pacer.
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 28 days ago

        He's had about thirty opportunities bearing down on goal from the right that have amounted to zero

        1. xuwei
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 28 days ago

          True but he gets in good positions to get those chances.

          1. AC/DC AFC
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 28 days ago

            True but maybe Opta stats and FPL can't replicate game state in the real world.

      Just came to ask that - he had 21 at half and now down to 17 - wtf

        Oh - weird I see 22 now.

      Doesn't help that he misses almost every big chance he gets.

        If only he had the finishing ability of hus idol, he would be hauling lately.

      Lots of possession losses? Low pass completion? Also Bruno with one return should be bossing it, plus Everton has played very well besides in front of goal, so probably needs Everton scoring for him to get into bonus

      Garnacho single-handedly wins the match for United?
      Zero bonus then, makes sense.

        To be fair, Everton have lost this game with two Sunday league tackles on a player who has repeatedly failed to punish them when given the opportunity

      Not good for my proposed BPS as the points awarded scoring system 😉

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      You'd have to wait for the outcome of the FA Cup games next weekend in the quarter finals causing the big blank to know much more.

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam

      It just felt so wrong for me to hit him in for Haaland.

    Solanke's EO only 185% inside top 10k. Thought it's going to be close to 200% with some TCs active.

    0.15 gain for every point, we're gonna feast!
