    Can’t Believe Toney has signed for Al Alhi, it was never about the football with him was it…

        Gambling is strictly prohibited in Saudi Arabia...

      Sure, he only dedicated his life to it and continues to do so

      Completely makes sense to me. He was playing in the EFL for most of his career and won't have the mind bending money that most of these Prem players have banked. Good luck to him, last chance to make that kind of money with his reputation likely at a peak.

      Which part of the body they chop off in there for gambling?

        There's a tipping point for professional athletes I reckon. In your 20s it's all fun, in early 30s it's fun you need to work for, after that it's all work.

      Can imagine all those cold rainy days when he was younger without a wage still putting in the hours training while his friends were down the pub/club, nah , was never about the football ...

      He's going to earn the equivalent of £600k a week over here (£320k after tax) so cannot blame him. We'd all do exactly the same

    2 years, 1 month ago

    Any (WC) changes needed?

    Raya
    Gvardiol, VDV, Lewis
    Salah, Palmer, ESR, Rogers
    Haaland, Havertz, Pedro

    (Fabianski, Robinson, Nedeljkovic, Winks)

    - Havertz, Gvardiol (4.5M) or Saka, 4.5D (4.5F)?
    - Gvardiol or Robertson?

    Cheers.

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Definitely would go Robbo over Gvardiol because you have Lewis and would be locked out of a 3rd City if say Foden decides to come back strong.

      But tbh, TAA is the first name on any team I build atm. He's got the 9th highest xGI of any player in the game and hasn't even played the full game in either of the first two. Just a chance creating monster. He would be the highest scoring player in the game if he got the returns and bonus his stats say he should have.

      1. Podorsky
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        2 years, 1 month ago

        If you could choose between TAA and say Muniz or Watkins and say Robinson. What would you do?

      2. Catastrophe
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks. I just can't find a way to reasonably fit him in as I am sold on:

        - Haaland
        - Salah
        - Palmer
        - Havertz/Saka

        I rate TAA also, and ironically had him pre-wildcard. Perhaps Robertson would be the best option for me.

      3. Catastrophe
        2 years, 1 month ago

        I could go TAA, Soucek, Johnson over Gvardiol/Robertson, ESR, Robinson, but that means having 2 x 4.0 defenders on the bench and playing Lewis (hoping he starts) and VDV every week.

    2. InsertPunHere
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Play Robinson over Pedro, surely?

      1. Catastrophe
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Hmm probably yes, thanks.

    Folks with triple Palace plus Turner will need to priorities selling one of them before making another transfer.

    1. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Folks with Triple Palace plus Turner might as well just cut out the middleman and delete their team.

      Take up clarinet, or gardening or learn Polish or summat this year instead.

        A blessing in disguise. Use your time wisely rather than wasting your time on another 36 GWs of FPL

    Feels like the article to ask 🙂

    Flekken
    TAA / Porro / Robinson
    Palmer / Saka / Jota / ESR / Rogers
    Haaland / Muniz
    Henderson // Pedro Hall Barco

    A) Captain Haaland, Palmer or Saka?
    B) Benching Pedro correct?

    Slightly peeved Murphy dropped so soon when loads were so slow to drop. Lost a needless 0.1m there!

    1. InsertPunHere
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Palmer and yes

    2. tmstrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Haaland
      Yes

    3. cravencottage
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Captain Haaland. Yes to Pedro

    4. Ask Yourself
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Haaland yes

    5. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      2 years, 1 month ago

      It's a pretty good team considering you still have WC in hand.

      Honestly, I think you just cap Haaland when he's in this kind of form and don't overthink it. It's not like West Ham are particularly good.

      Benching Pedro definitely looks correct.

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers Camzy. Yeah, I reckon Haaland is the safer option - could be swingy wither way. Let's see what happens...

      2. Deulofail
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Agree with this

    6. Silecro
      2 years, 1 month ago

      A) Haaland
      B) Yep, all good

    7. Hazz

      Cheers. Sensible words from you all.

  7. tmstrand

    2 years, 1 month ago

    Bench one

    Saka/Jota/Eze/ESR/Rogers
    Haaland/Isak/Muniz

    Currently leaning Eze just bc of fixtures.

    1. Ask Yourself
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Chelsea is a good fixture for an attacker, is Rogers really that good or is he just 5m and playing

      1. tmstrand
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Good question. Honestly very unsure. Think I'm feeling a bit let down by Eze thus far..

    2. cravencottage
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Bench Rogers

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Gosh that's a horrible choice to have.

      You have to go with where you think the goals will/won't be scored.

      For me a toss up between Eze & Isak, with the way Newcaslte have been playing. (Isak was also poor midweek.)

      But it's very feasible ESR/Muniz does worse. Just not the fixture to bench them for...

      1. Deulofail
        2 years, 1 month ago

        I agree with Eze and Isak. My third choice would be Rogers, then Muniz, then ESR, but it's all very tight

      2. tmstrand
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        2 years, 1 month ago

        All true.
        I'm leaning keeping Isak in for this GW but turning him into Watkins if still no returns and if he doesn't pass the "eye test".. Feels like a bit of a gamble whatever I choose.

    4. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      2 years, 1 month ago

      You've held on to Eze and Isak for a reason. People advise you to bench them are likely non-owners.

      Back yourself lad.

      1. Deulofail
        2 years, 1 month ago

        I own Isak

        1. Cruyff's Eleven
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          2 years, 1 month ago

          Are you benching him?

      2. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        2 years, 1 month ago

        As a follow up, yes I am someone who sold Isak (stupidly or otherwise) & don't own Eze.

    5. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      2 years, 1 month ago

      I'd probably bench Muniz or ESR. Might even be ESR because he really hasn't looked very sharp. 1g from 1 shot so far in 2 GWs.

    6. Gubby-Allen
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Eze or Rogers

  8. JustWatching
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Judge my WC!

    - Raya
    - Konsa
    - Vestergaard
    - Harwood-Bellis
    - Doku
    - Madueke
    - Salah
    - Palmer
    - Wissa
    - Haaland
    - Muniz

    **Bench:**
    - Turner
    - Semenyo
    - Mazraoui
    - Van de Ven

      Too vertical

        I should've asked ChatGPT to reformat admittedly.

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          2 years, 1 month ago

          Prefer Savio to Doku

    2. Podorsky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      2 years, 1 month ago

      No Arsenal

      1. JustWatching
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Raya is there. Obviously would like to have Saka or Ødegaard but hard to fit in.

    3. Sprinterdude
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah I like it but I'd have savio over doku and maybe try and fit konate in

  9. FCH
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Wich 2 should I start:
    A - J Pedro (ars)
    B - Jota (mun)
    C - Eze (che)
    Currently on BC

    1. Ask Yourself
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Agree with BC

  10. Runnerboy31
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Fantasyfootballfix proving more reliable than fpl statistics so far. Never had Palmer to increase or Nkunku to drop last night.

  11. Ser Davos
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Bought Faes at 4.0

    Stick with him or shift for HWB/Vestergaard/Stephens?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Stick if he stays at Leicester

      1. Ser Davos
        2 years, 1 month ago

        rumours are that he's unsettled...

        1. Mirror Man
          2 years, 1 month ago

          Vardy tends to have that effect.

    2. The Knights Template
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Why?

    3. Lone_Wolf
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Don't use your bench at all. Unless you are stuck with injuries. But there's plenty of transfers available. Bench can backfire. Why else would you need Leicester def.

  12. EXODIA
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on Isak captaincy this week?

    1. The Knights Template
      2 years, 1 month ago

      No thankee

    2. Tonyawesome69
      2 years, 1 month ago

      This seasons performance from Isak/Newcastle hasn't exactly been screaming Isak (C) over the premiums this GW

    3. tmstrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      2 years, 1 month ago

      HUGE gamble imo

    4. Lone_Wolf
      2 years, 1 month ago

      If you you don't have haaland/palmer/saka

    5. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Nah

    6. Deulofail
      2 years, 1 month ago

      The blind luck play is bold

    7. Sandy Ravage
      2 years, 1 month ago

      very tempting

    8. Mirror Man
      2 years, 1 month ago

      I'm 80/20 in favour of it.

    9. Hairy Potter
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Isak may suit playing against the Spurs high line. Whilst the rest of the team haven't clicked, I don't think he's looked too bad.

      That said, surely you have better captaincy options in your team.

  13. JustWatching
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Savio or Doku?

    1. Mirror Man
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Is this Pokemon or some shite?

    1. Deulofail
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Still saying Madueke is nailed. Nice hustle, but not sure people can trust your judgement when saying things like that!

  14. JBG
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Pick one:

    A) Madueke
    B) Bailey
    C) Rogers
    D) Savio

    1. Deulofail
      2 years, 1 month ago

      For what?

      1. JBG
        2 years, 1 month ago

        As my prom date.

        1. Deulofail
          2 years, 1 month ago

          They are all too old for you

        2. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          2 years, 1 month ago

          Bailey easily. Madison Bailey is on fire.

          Ginger Rogers or Mimi Rogers not really looking in top form these days.

      2. JBG
        2 years, 1 month ago

        But seriously, on WC so need a last mid out of one of those.

        1. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          2 years, 1 month ago

          Rogers because he's cheapest and I don't think the others have obvious upside on him.

          1. JBG
            2 years, 1 month ago

            Thanks

    2. Bruin

      To bench Bailey, to play Rogers. To buy Rogers

  15. RUUD!

    Son and Gordon to Palmer and Mbuemo look good this week?

  16. Pep Roulette
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Henderson to Martinez for free?

  17. Silecro
    2 years, 1 month ago

    After a week of tinkering, narrowed down the use of 2fts to two options:

    A) Isak, Fernandes > Mbeumo, Watkins
    B) Fernandes, Barco > Mbeumo, Konsa (and give Isak another week to re-evaluate, hoping Watkins doesnt go nuts)

    What is your opinion?

  18. arko.m83
    2 years, 1 month ago

    On WC this week, settling on this

    Raya (vald)

    Robertson, Robinson, Porro (Mazraoui, Faes)
    D Jota, Rogers, Madueke, Palmer, Saka
    Haaland, Muniz (Welbeck)

    O left

    Best max. 4.1 def on WC the next 3-4 games?

    WC draft - would appreciate your thoughts!

    Sanchez
    TAA Gabriel Robinson
    Salah Palmer Eze ESR Rogers
    Haaland Pedro
    4.0 Lewis Nedeljkovic 4.5fwd

    Felt I was happy to take a risk on Lewis for now. Plus I will be coming out of the WC with 2 FTs so able to change any obvious errors, with the aim of saving at least 3 up for a mini wildcard to get Arsenal players in for the GW6 fixture swing

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      2 years, 1 month ago

      I would go for a Konsa or VDV with that bench in place of Lewis.

      Also, not sure how nailed Sanchez is long term. Couple of errors and I reckon Jorgensen will get a go.

  23. Garlana

    Benching headache, yay,
    Play Robinson away to Ipswich or Aina at home to Wolves!?
