    Son+Wood>Rogers+Watkins for free?

    1. Holmes

      2 years, 28 days ago

      Fine moves, although Watkins might take a week or two before he starts firing.

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      Looks like a Form vs Fixtures argument

      It could go either way, tbh. I'm the type to back the fixtures and say yes to the move, but wait for all GW3 pressers first

    With the Solanke downgrade I can now afford Raya in for Henderson. Not something I would normally do but this one is tempting I must say. Thoughts?

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

      Would do that. Solanke's next two aren't easy anyway.

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      Can't knock that, so yeah

      Yeh I’m thinking similar but Munoz to TAA

    Odegaard punt failed! Time for a change along with Murphy.

    In comes Mbeumo and Savio

      Soucek, Soucek!

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 28 days ago

        Actually wth, why is Soucek on fire again?

          Getting in the box a lot

          1. Ginkapo FPL
            • 15 Years
            2 years, 28 days ago

            Oooh, I remember whennhe used to do that, he was essential

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      I'd be a bit careful with Savio until we see where Foden plays when fit. How about Szobo for now?

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

      Should have picked Maddison instead 😉

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

        Say no to Spurs(and United)

        1. Ze_Austin
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 28 days ago

          After 4 goals and their xG against Leicester? I'm still saying yes to that attack 😀

          Waiting for GW5 though

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

            Both are pretty poor sides, aren't they?

            1. Ze_Austin
              • 7 Years
              2 years, 28 days ago

              Yup! Hence my wait for GW5, when they'll resume facing some more of the poor defences

              The worse attacks than Spurs don't do so well even facing such bad defences

      2. Ze_Austin
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 28 days ago

        Madders looks so off it in preseason that there were calls/expectations for Bergvall to start ahead of him

        Glad he got it together for the real business though. It's important to have him on song when owning other Spurs attackers

        1. Ze_Austin
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 28 days ago

          *looked

    4. Fellaini's Fro
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      You ready to call it before Brighton at home? Think I might give him one more GW. His stats were decent against Villa at least.

      GW4/5 looks a decent exit point

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

        2 CC, 1 SIB. Not so great I would say. Watching the game didn't do any favor either.

    5. Bushwhacker
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      Very unlucky tbh ; Odegaard had several decent chances yesterday.

  4. Ginkapo FPL
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 28 days ago

    My bench is now

    Mathews
    Quansah
    Jebbison
    Hall
    Faes
    Kamada

    Faes/Hall can play enough, but probably time to admit Kamada has not worked and switch to Rogers unless something changes today.

    Dont see any clarity on premiums so will stick with Salah and Haaland

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      Kamada's benching was a surprise, yeah

      Rogers in could be gold. Let's see what happens with Quansah, although I'd be tempted (if you've got 2 FTs) to dump him too and cut losses, maybe for Aina at the same price

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 28 days ago

        Aina is just points chasing. No point selling Quansah until there is a clear option

        1. Ze_Austin
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 28 days ago

          Aina is just a temptation due to the 4.4 price match and some fixtures you can start him in

          But yeah, Kamada is a bigger issue

    2. Valar(Keith)
      • 17 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      All I want is for hall to start today and have a good game(even though ive benched him). There have been calls to drop him and start Kelly from the newcastle fans. So keep an eye on that

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 28 days ago

        What do those newcastle fans know anyway. I still remember them telling us Ryan Taylor was never going to play. 4.0 defender playing on the wing!

        1. Valar(Keith)
          • 17 Years
          2 years, 28 days ago

          Haha. Don't forget his free kicks

  5. Ginkapo FPL
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 28 days ago

    Tonali alert. Bruno G about to be boosted again

  6. camarozz
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 28 days ago

    Best start to a season ov had in a very long time.

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      Very strange feeling aint it

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

        Yeah it is. Did u see how Minteh played ?

        Maybe using my ft for Rogers. Villa looked good ystrdy

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          • 15 Years
          2 years, 28 days ago

          I did not. Not seen any logic in buying a Brighton attacker, they always share points around

        2. Baines on Toast...
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          2 years, 28 days ago

          He played well. Very involved, Almost had an assist when Wellbeck hit the bar, Took his fair share of set pieces as well. That said end product was sometimes lacking.

          Don't expect him to get anything at Arsenal though and Rogers Looked brilliant yesterday so not the worst Transfer.

          1. Ze_Austin
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 28 days ago

            Thanks for this

            With Kamada now off the menu, it's down to ESR, Minteh and Rogers as my midfield options below 6.0. Maybe a sneaky Soucek in there

            Nice to see all four doing well

      Same here

  7. Jafooli

    Chelsea needs to invest in some GKs - no way six enough for the season, lol…

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

      Chelsea needs to invest in some midfielders - no way sixteen enough for the season, lol…

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 28 days ago

        Well they do. They dont have any good ones

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

          Lukaku still on their books is just hilarious…I know they hand out ten year contracts to spread the costs across the books, but their wage bill must be huge…surely close to FFP (or whatever it’s now called) breaches..

          1. Holmes
            • 12 Years

            Getting sold to Napoli

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

              Even Saudi seem to have shied away from this one lol…

          2. Ginkapo FPL
            • 15 Years
            2 years, 28 days ago

            I thought they actually sold him this time

      2. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 28 days ago

        I could go on, but how is Joao Felix listed as a midfielder? Is he not an out & out striker?

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          • 15 Years
          2 years, 28 days ago

          Didnt realise he had learnt how to play football

        2. Ze_Austin
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 28 days ago

          Seems he's expected to have lots of minutes at CAM and on the wings

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

            Fair one, as Chelsea don’t have Palmer or any wingers and don’t need a dedicated forward lol..

            1. Ze_Austin
              • 7 Years
              2 years, 28 days ago

              FPL towers have their methods 😀

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

                Yep, wonder how much they discuss with the clubs before allocating position brackets?

                1. Ze_Austin
                  • 7 Years
                  2 years, 28 days ago

                  I don't think they do. Lundstram as a 4.0 defender couldn't have come from his club

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

                    Game would be better with more OOPs, used to be a great part of the game, now there’s hardly any…

        3. Studs Up
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 28 days ago

          was predominantly listed as a LW last season (transfmrkt)

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

            Ah okay, thanks Studs…

  8. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 28 days ago

    Price rises:

    GK - 0
    Defenders - 0
    Midfielders - 3
    Forwards - 7

    Is this mainly because of the Solanke ownership/injury?

    1. DeathoftheParty
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      Seems logical

  9. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 28 days ago

    Who is the best 4.5 defender to replace Zinchenko?

    I have 2FT but planning on using one for this and carrying 2 into the International break.

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

      Robinson or maybe Lewis, if willing to use a City spot on a bit of a risk for minutes…

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

        Kilman also under the radar, listen to some ex-footballers on the radio really talking him up..Hammers fixtures a bit meh

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      It's still the least clear popular price in the game, imo. I'd say Pau for his goal threat and fixtures

      1. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 28 days ago

        Is Mazraoui worth considering? Bonus and assist in opening 2 fixtures even if United are hit and miss.

        1. Ze_Austin
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 28 days ago

          Not yet sure if he'll be nailed when Shaw returns. And yeah, Man U themselves don't look reliable yet

    3. MJF
      2 years, 28 days ago

      Purely based on fixtures maybe Konsa. VDV played well yesterday.

    4. Valar(Keith)
      • 17 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      Pre season I thought there were too many. Now none of them inspire. I still think ipswich and hence Davis will do well(or greaves as a sub option). Hoping davis falls to 4.4

      Konsa is boring but could be an OK option for 4 weeks

      Robinson is good I guess but could be overkill if you already own other fulham

      If hall starts today maybe him

  10. MJF
    2 years, 28 days ago

    There’s always next year!

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

      And 36 game weeks to go. LOL

  11. Babit1967
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 28 days ago

    Guys just off the top 3 k, won't be for long with no Salah but think i can get away with saving again? 3 ft next week

    Areola
    Porro Hall Gvardiol
    Son ESR Saka Jota
    Haaland Wood Isak

    Fab Mykolenko Barco Winks 0itb

    1. MJF
      2 years, 28 days ago

      How many points you got? Great work well done!!

      1. Babit1967
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 28 days ago

        169 in total, cheers mate

        1. MJF
          2 years, 28 days ago

          Nice!

          You’re on for a great season.

    2. Tabasco
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      Myko's dropping and Everton's defence is rubbish

      1. Babit1967
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 28 days ago

        Aye Everton are a liability, fancy a Brighton defender for GW 4 & 5 so might punt Myko for Veltman who I can bench this week.

        1. ICE POLE CALMER
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 28 days ago

          Yeah I’d go with Dunk or Konsa iso Myko.
          Villa is about to have a great run.

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

      Congrats 🙂

      I'd consider Myko to Pau here and roll the other one

      If you're getting Brighton, then I think Dunk is the safest. Has some nice attacking threat too

      1. Babit1967
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 28 days ago

        Nice one, cheers mate.

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

      Yeah ; no standout fixtures next week so nothing to jump on.

  12. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 28 days ago

    Saka & Son pulling away in midfield after just GW2…haven’t considered either seriously yet, the probs with having Salah & Haaaland,,,

    1. Valar(Keith)
      • 17 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      I'm moving things around to get saka alongside Salah and haaland this week. I'm convinced I can play rogers every week and will swap esr for the next good 5.5 once their fixtures turn.

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

        Soucek might be that fella…think you’re right, Saka willbe/is essential….until I get him in and then blank central forever…

      2. PartyTime
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 28 days ago

        Yes. I think it’s a good approach & may join you

    2. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      Yeah the same for me, Saka and Son great picks but no room with Salah and Haaland unless I lose Havertz or Isak for a Joao Pedro, Welbeck, Wood.

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

      Wouldn't read too much into Son's haul yet, as this was one of his (likely) few starts at CF with neither Solanke nor Richarlison ready to start. He's a great player and will still get hauls from LW, but I just won't consider him as pulling away yet

      1. MJF
        2 years, 28 days ago

        Also: Everton.

        1. ICE POLE CALMER
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 28 days ago

          Personally I’m hanging on to Havertz and will get Saka on my Arsenal triple up WC in GW6.
          Saka is fixture proof, but so is Havertz I’d reckon.

  13. Weeb Kakashi
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 28 days ago

    Henderson
    TAA Robinson Pau
    Salah Son Bruno Gordon Jota
    Isak Havertz

    Hall Barco 4.5

    Bruno Gordon > Palmer/Saka + Rogers

    1. ICE POLE CALMER
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      Let’s wait for the Chelsea game, but based on fixtures I’d go with Palmer.

    2. Assisting the assister
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      Saka essential

  14. Kaneyonero
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 28 days ago

    Will see how really good this Liverpool attack are today won't we? Salah Jota and Diaz

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

      Think Jota will be brought in a lot after the game today.

      Seemingly nailed

      1. Bushwhacker
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 28 days ago

        Seemingly nailed before the team sheet is out? Worry with Jota is even if he starts his minutes can be limited a lot. When the CL starts even more so.

  15. trequartista
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 28 days ago

    Bruno and Mykolenko likely to drop in price. Would you move them out?

    Have Konsa, Andersen already in the 4.5 range as well

    Nkunku might drop too if he doesn’t do well today

    1. ICE POLE CALMER
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      Hol your horses and let’s see. You could consider Soucek for your mid, though fixtures aren’t fab.
      Too bad you don’t have Ronbinson while Andersen had moved already. VDV is 4.5 and did well, but h’s got two tough fixtures coming up. Mazraoui has already gone up in price I think.

  16. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 28 days ago

    Is Mbeumo a better pick than Mitoma, Savio, MGW?

    (h) to Southampton really looks like a fixture to attack.

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

      See his fixtures after Sou.

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      GW5 onwards and confirmation with Toney staying at the club

  17. Billy Whizz
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 28 days ago

    Haalands finish for his second goal yesterday though. Sublime x

  18. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 28 days ago

    Best Bruno replacement here?

    Son Bruno jota murphy winks
    Haaland isak havertz

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      What's the budget

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

        8.5

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 28 days ago

          Options to consider:
          - Szoboszlai
          - Rogers
          - Gordon
          - Eze

          1. SpaceCadet

            Thanks mate. Not too keen on szobo or Gordon yet. Eze definitely an option, unlucky not to haul in the two games so far. Makes more sense to keep Bruno and sell Murphy for rogers instead?

            1. Tonyawesome69
              • 7 Years
              2 years, 28 days ago

              Not keen because they have only played 1 game?

              - Keep an eye Szoboszlai continue playing as a 10
              - Gordon on set pieces when Trippier doesn't play

              Why does it make sense to keep Bruno and sell Murphy (1 game involving RC)?

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

                Good question. Basically I’m quite confused with the moves. Probably best to see what happens in the games today and decide. Cheers

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      Not sure we have a "best" yet. Who are you considering?

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

        Can either do Murphy > Rogers and keep Bruno another week. Else Bruno > esr/ Bowen . Not sure of Bruno replacements.

        1. Ze_Austin
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 28 days ago

          Murphy hasn't had a chance yet, so let's see how he plays in a full match with XI men

          Even with Bruno, those missed chances don't scream "must sell" to me

          Maybe take the price drop and then sell only when a clear replacement or combined move pops up?

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

            Yea that’s an option as well. If Murphy blanks today I might sell him for Rogers. Looked really good against Arsenal. Thanks mate.

    3. Heavy Cream
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      ESR and bank the cash

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

        Might as well sell Murphy for esr

        1. Heavy Cream
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 28 days ago

          Then you haven’t gained any bank for other upgrades and I think Murphy will do well

  19. Heavy Cream
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 28 days ago

    Any need for a knee jerk reaction here? 2ft’s available

    Raya
    VVD Harwood-B Konsa
    Saka Eze Nkunku Jota
    Haaland Isak Solanke

    Fabi Murphy Anderson Barco

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      Harwood-Bellis is playing for a worse defence than Andersen's. Might get 0 or negative points vs Brentford

      Andersen should be ready to start by then. I'd play him and roll both FTs, unless Solanke is confirmed out for longer or Nkunku doesn't reach 60 minutes

  20. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 28 days ago

    If playing your wildcard in the next 3-5 weeks, how many players in your current squad with you keep?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      Maybe 5 from main 12 picks (ignore fodder)

    2. Kaneyonero
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      Salah Saka Son and try fit Haaland in

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

        How would that work...would rest of team be 4.5m max?

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

      Most of them, tbh. Even the Johnson I'd have considered selling just got an assist vs City

      Maybe Pope + Munoz to Areola + Timber, but that assumes Timber will be nailed

      1. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 28 days ago

        Does this mean you are delaying your wildcard for a while longer or you to act and get key players in?

        1. Ze_Austin
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 28 days ago

          Delaying. Didn't plan to play it early anyway, and nothing's really affected my plan other than an injury and an illness. It's flags that can push me to a WC here:

          Pope
          Trent Gvardiol Munoz
          (C)Salah Jota Foden Gordon Eze
          Havertz (V)Isak
          .
          Virginia Jebbison Johnson Mosquera

          What would you change with 1 FT or WC, btw?

  21. Warby84
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 28 days ago

    How is this WC?

    Steele (Fab)
    Gvardiol Gabriel Robinson Faes Mosquera
    Saka Salah ESR Rogers Sangare
    Haaland Pedro Watkins

    Thoughts??

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      Verbruggen is back in training, and is considered by many to be a better GK than Steele. I'd just take Areola as the set-and-forget 4.5 right now

      There's a lot of trust in cheap players here. Could be gold, but might be difficult to address until you've accumulated 3+ FTs. I understand the appeal though

    2. Geriatric Unathletic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      Not sure on Watkins at present. Otherwise sound and probably similar to what I would do.

      1. Geriatric Unathletic
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 28 days ago

        Probably would go Havertz over watkins myself :).

        1. Warby84
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 28 days ago

          Yeah I think it’s more fixtures over form for me

          1. Geriatric Unathletic
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            2 years, 28 days ago

            Tough aint it 🙂
            So many good options at present.
            For once, I reckon the pricing has been pretty much spot on and making choices really difficult.
            I reckon the way to play this year may be very regular swapping of players in and out with form/fixtures. But, of course you can quickly lose value that way too.

            Hopefully going to be a FUN season :).

            1. Geriatric Unathletic
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 15 Years
              2 years, 28 days ago

              'But, of course you can quickly lose value that way too.' - Should really say NOT gain value rather than lose.

              I usually end up with a high team value which can be VERY valuable toward the end of the season (but i also tend to take a lot of hits). Could be a very different season this year :).

  22. Geriatric Unathletic
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 28 days ago

    Really thinking Salah may become essential after today. Was going to wait until GW4 but by then may be priced out of the popular/logical moves to him.
    What would yo reckon to the below???
    Leaning toward 1 or 3 myself but hard to split. Reckon Porro struggles for next few, but am liking Rogers too.

    1 Saka + Jota – Salah + Rogers/Savio
    2 Saka + Isak – Salah + 7.5 fwd
    3 Porro + Saka – Salah + Robinson/Pau.

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      Saka looks essential too, even though I don't have him

      Every option here involves a downgrade, which I'll only be comfortable with if you're capping Salah very regularly in this setup

      1. Geriatric Unathletic
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 28 days ago

        I seem to be in a minority with Saka. I don't see the player others rave about, and I am a gooner. My son gives me real grief about it too, but I reckon he is being overhyped.

        1. PogChamp
          • 15 Years
          2 years, 28 days ago

          Really? I think he’s the best winger in Europe

        2. Ze_Austin
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 28 days ago

          Did you like Mane? Saka's FPL consistency reminds me of Mane

          Dude got 28 returns from 35 starts last season, and that involved giving some pens away. Seems to be improving by the year too

        3. Warby84
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 28 days ago

          Still has penalties in his locker and cheaper than palmer

        4. twoplustwo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 28 days ago

          No, same, but I own him. I got crushed last year going without. There’s something about his technique that looks super awkward and he’s not particularly skilful.

        5. ICE POLE CALMER
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 28 days ago

          I get it. BHA is still one game you may want to get out of Saka. Personally I’ve gone with Havertz from the start to save 2.0m.
          I’d go with option 3 but get behind that couch for the BHA game.

      2. Over Midwicket
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 28 days ago

        Saka was very peripheral yesterday. Definitely not essential

      3. Geriatric Unathletic
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 28 days ago

        Not sure how Saka to Salah is a downgrade? Fixtures for pool are great whereas for Arsenal only so, so over next few. Spuds fixtures are grim in short term too and so cant see Porro getting any clean sheets.
        I would be looking to W.C. around GW6 and bringing Arsenal attack back in then.

        1. _Freddo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 17 Years
          2 years, 28 days ago

          Brighton & Spurs aren’t bad fixs for Saka, Saka got points in both Spurs games last year, only bad fix coming up is City (which will be tight)

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      Maybe option 3 on the basis you keep double Liverpool attack and Isak. Spurs next 2 are tough for CS

  23. shirtless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 28 days ago

    Captain picks going ok so far. Think I'll go Saka next week as per the plan.

    GW1 Isak
    GW2 Haaland
    GW3 Saka
    GW4 Haaland or Salah
    GW5 Salah

    1. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      Haaland every week for me.

    2. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      Salah (if continues opening day form) vs Man Utd is tasty...

      1. Geriatric Unathletic
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 28 days ago

        Yes, IF does well today, then many will be clamouring for his services (myself included as above)! Early doors, but looks to be back to his best.

  24. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 28 days ago

    The Mystery Chip - reckon it will be a 'Limitless Budget' FH chip for GW20, to try and re-engage players who have canned the game, to bring them back in for the Second Chance league?

    That's what I'm planning for...

  25. Sz21
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 28 days ago

    Time to consider 1st transfer(s) of the season.
    Henderson.
    Porro, Gabriel, Robinson.
    Saka, Jota, Gordon, Smith- Rowe.
    Solanke, Haaland, Isak.
    Matthews, Rogers, Hall, Barco.

    2ft's, 0.5m ITB.
    Thinking to WC around GW 6 and get on the likely lads then.
    For the next few weeks--

    1. Porro + Gordon -> TAA + 6.5m (Nkunku possibly).
    2. Change keeper.
    3. Save another FT.
    4. Something else standing out?

  26. Jet5605
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 28 days ago

    Am I good to roll assuming no injuries today/tomorrow?

    Henderson
    Gabriel - Robinson - Konsa
    Saka - Jota - Gordon - Eze
    Haaland - Isak - Mateta

    Valdimarsson - Mosquero - Mykolenko - Winks

  27. Nickyboy
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 28 days ago

    Very helpful for Solanke not to drop last night

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

      Amazing really, seems like FPL Towers gerrymandering at play?

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 28 days ago

        Red-flagged players drop more slowly than others

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

          Ah okay, forgot that...

  28. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 28 days ago

    Is Gvardiol > Lewis just desperate money saving folly?

    1. Nickyboy
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      Probably! I am considering freeing up some of the cash in him too though

  29. Jet5605
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 28 days ago

    Are Palace asset owners holding for now? I own Hendo, Eze and Mateta and having seen highlights it looks like they've been v unlucky in the first two games (Eze especially)

    Might try to do Henderson > Raya on GW6 after Arsenal's two tough games on GW4/5

    1. _Freddo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      Villa was seen as a tough game, Arsenal are the tough game.

      1. Jet5605
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 28 days ago

        Getting Raya in for Spurs and City away doesn't appeal to me

        1. _Freddo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 17 Years
          2 years, 28 days ago

          City failed to score against Arsenal in their last 3 games (Charity Shield & both league games)

          1. Jet5605
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 28 days ago

            Let's see how that works out next month

            1. _Freddo
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 17 Years
              2 years, 28 days ago

              You’ll see they will fail to score again.

              Saliba & Gabriel know how to play against Haaland & Calafiori/Timber strengthen the left side, that’s without talking about Merino bulking up the midfield.

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

      Think Palace will come strong

    3. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      Giving Eze one more GW. But not high on Palace any more. The transfer strategy is poor IMO. They have sold or are likely to sell 5 of their significant players from last season - Andersen, Ayew, Guehi, Olise, Schlupp. Other than Sarr in for Ayew, there aren't any upgrades in that team. If Guehi leaves as is expected their defence is in the mire and a poor defence often leads to a downgrade in attacking output.

  30. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 28 days ago

    Time to WC?

    Henderson
    Porro, Mazraoui, Robinson
    Saka, Bruno F., Gordon, Jota
    Haaland, Solanke, Isak

    Fabianski, Winks, Johnson, Barco

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      Who do you want to buy?

    2. _Freddo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      Don’t think so but with the ability to roll 5 FTs, the first WC is a luxury now.

      I’m even thinking about using an early FH because of the ability to hold 5FTs, it’s opened the game up.

      GW5 when Arsenal and City clash (I’ll be heavy in both) feels like a decent chance to look at it, if you can get to 5FTs, you can deal with blanks/doubles without a chip.

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

        Always issues in team, so never getting the chance to accumulate FTs

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      Why?

    4. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      Midfield feels too expensive compared with the points so far. Saka/Bruno could be Salah/cheaper mid. Solanke downgraded and GK, defence and bench upgraded

    5. Warby84
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 28 days ago

      I’m Wildcarding tonight overwise will be priced out, big boys going up in price…

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

        A -8 could give me Salah, Eze, Wood for Saka, Bruno, Solanke

        1. g40steve
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 28 days ago

          Saka is first name on my team, nailed pens & gets played with bits hanging off

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

            Cheers, hope he’ll come good
