    On the topic of Solanke. Everyone is talking about Havertz, but Solanke will be a nice pick from GW5 onwards. Think I will go him instead and try to get Saka somehow.

      Bit of a differential!

      I've been debating this too. I'm on Havertz atm. No guarantee when Solanke will be back, they've got ars this w/e, and not that confident on that Spurs attack, is rather wait and maybe get him in a few weeks

    Question before bed, who would you rather have for the next few weeks? Robertson or Eze?

    1. Tazah
      • 6 Years
      1 month, 25 days ago

      Neither

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 10 Years

        eze home to wh, great pick imo 🙂

      Depends who you have in the other position otherwise

      Robertson but only if you don't have Trent.

      1. _Freddo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        1 month, 25 days ago

        I have Trent so it’ll be the double up.

        RunnerBoy, I guess it’s Robertson & Minteh or Robinson & Eze combo wise.

    4. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      1 month, 25 days ago

      Liverpool Double up is popular

      1. _Freddo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        1 month, 25 days ago

        I might work around it and get Alisson, really don’t want to come out of a WC with two 5.5 mids.

  3. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 10 Years
    1 month, 25 days ago

    reluctant to sell wissa as would like to keep on wc gw6 and would have lost value but really want brighton attack. what about winks to minteh? or just do wissa to pedro? cheers

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 5 Years
      1 month, 25 days ago

      You will probably want Mbeumo, and not a double up. So bite the bullet and ditch Wissa IMO. City next too.

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 10 Years
        1 month, 25 days ago

        didnt think about mbeumo to be honest. cheers

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      You can't get Pedro now he's doubt to play coming back from South America late

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 10 Years

          You could consider DCL, has some great fixtures.

          1. Kiwivillan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            1 month, 25 days ago

            Much rather have Wissa for 0.2 more

            1. have you seen cyan
              • 5 Years
              1 month, 25 days ago

              Square pegs and round holes. They just have a great fixture run. You'd expect Everton to pull their finger out during this run. Ndiaye might be a good pick but need to see more from him. Some form of Everton defence might be a good option too. Might go Pickford over Raya, but Myko will no doubt be the better pick.

              1. Bushwhacker
                • 5 Years
                1 month, 25 days ago

                Do you? They’ve looked pretty ropey.

                  Fixs usually breed form though.

                  This could be one for the pressers, if Glasner says that Nketiah will make his debut, he could be the one for a few weeks.

                    1 month, 25 days ago

                    Is rather rely on form. Everton look shakey against everyone

      I went wissa on wc last week. Should have squeezed in mbuemo!

    4. Jonesfromthere
      • 12 Years

      Would keep Wissa for sure

  4. Devil's Own

    1 month, 25 days ago

    Riski wildcard draft, Lewis may be replaced with Walker but that is true for any city defender. Happy with the attack. Any suggestions for the defence on this budget? Gk is fixed though.

    Allison
    Lewis Dunk Robinson
    Salah Palmer Eze Semenyo
    Halland Havertz Pedro

    Fabianski Winks Greaves Bednarek

    Do you think I can sustain with this till the next wildcard?

    1. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years

      What’s risky about it?

      1. Devil's Own
        • 4 Years
        1 month, 25 days ago

        Cheap defence and crap bench maybe?

        1. GoonerSteve
          • 14 Years
          1 month, 25 days ago

          Here's what I'm on after wildcard last week. I nearly did Eze and. Havertz instead of Saka, but went fourmium instead.

          Raya
          Lewis, Konza, Robinson
          Salah, Saka, Palmer, Semenyo, Rogers
          Haaland, Pedro

          (Gk. Faes, Harwood-Bellis, Stewart)
          0.3itb.

            • 10 Years
            1 month, 25 days ago

            Looks gross honestly. What happens this week if Pep benches Lewis and Pedro back to late to start?

            1. _Freddo
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 15 Years
              1 month, 25 days ago

              Does using the wildcard come at a price where all his free transfers get taken away?

              You really don’t have to sustain that to your next WC, you have plenty of cash in the team, 2 moves fixes any problems.

              1. Kiwivillan
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 10 Years
                1 month, 25 days ago

                2 moves doesn't fix much if loading team with cheap players. These managers will be forced to sell a premium

                1. _Freddo
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 15 Years
                  1 month, 25 days ago

                  He has Salah, Havertz, Palmer & Haaland, a decision will have to be made on one which will find the rest, no one is locked into these teams until Jan.

                  I’ve built up 3FTs, will get to 4FTs before I think about making a move, the game has changed this year.

                  1. Kiwivillan
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 10 Years
                    1 month, 25 days ago

                    Game hasn't changed that spending 48m on 4 players this early is going to work. It's basically early WC knee jerking

                    1. _Freddo
                      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                      • 15 Years
                      1 month, 25 days ago

                      You’re right, the game hasn’t changed there, people have always filled their teams with as many premiums as they can because they tend to score the most points.

                      People owning Salah & Haaland were frowned upon in pre season because it was too much money on 2 players, that lot are looking down on everyone else right now.

      Peachy

  5. have you seen cyan

    When ia everyone thinking of wildcarding if not used already? 6 is an obvious candidate, but when else? Playing round with GW6 drafts, and IDK, not loving the teams. Defence is a right mess.

    1. BUZZBOMB ♡
      • 9 Years
      1 month, 25 days ago

      6 too for me. Already have Salah, Haaland and Palmer so it will depend on them, Saka and various other factors. Needs more balance I feel.

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 5 Years
        1 month, 25 days ago

        I think it can be navigated with just frees tbh. When I look at the teams I could make, I am not blown away. So it doesnt strike me as the best use of a WC. I will want Mbeumo, some arsenal, and Solanke. But aside from that, not a great deal else appeals to me. I doubt I could get Watkins.

        1. BUZZBOMB ♡
          • 9 Years
          1 month, 25 days ago

          I agree. Maybe its just burning a hole right now. I think shape has still to form. I do feel there's a significant proportion of my team that is too weak and Ive been getting away with it. Got a rank of 278k but loaded with players such as Hendo, Matthews, Winks, HB, Johnson.

          1. have you seen cyan
            • 5 Years
            1 month, 25 days ago

            Yea it can come down to that, ie, how useless your current team is rather than the fixtures.

            I like my current team, but conscious that people with triple Arse for example, may hurt me a lot. I don't even have one yet. That said, they have 3 great fixtures, but after that, not really.

            Think I will just aim for Raya, Saka, Mbeumo, and Solanke. And that surely is not WC worthy.

    2. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 7 Years
      1 month, 25 days ago

      GW 10.

      GW 6 for me is Arsenal and Brentford, and I’m not sure wildcarding for Brentford assets is worth it. With up to 5FT’s, Arsenal assets will be easy to bring in.

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 5 Years
        1 month, 25 days ago

        Yea simialr to what I think, but no clue how I can get Saka currently without WC. But even with him in through WC, my defence is a shambles.

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          1 month, 25 days ago

          You could go without. What if Havertz outscores him GW6?

          1. have you seen cyan
            • 5 Years
            1 month, 25 days ago

            I would much prefer Saka or Solanke over Havertz tbh

    3. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      • 3 Years
      1 month, 25 days ago

      I'm looking at 6 also. Arsenal fixture swing is a big factor, but I also want to bring in Haaland around then which will require substantial reorganisation. I'm still on a toggle-between-Salah/Haaland (for captaincy) strategy. GW7 actually looks better for that switch given Wolves' defending of their left flank but 6 will do considering it's better for the rest of my team. It's also a jumping off point for me with Mateta, Muñoz, Pope, Smith-Rowe, and maybe Robinson/Pedro.

      Seems like most are set on owning both now but Haaland, Salah, Saka, Havertz, Gabriel/Saliba leaves so little to play with, and honestly I think a lot of current WC drafts with just Raya will really suffer GWs 6-8.

      I like your Solanke idea, will definitely be on the radar for me too if fit.

      1. Hairy Potter
        • 9 Years
        1 month, 25 days ago

        I think I'm committed to having to choose between Saka and Salah at given times this season. Currently it's Salah for me. I feel more comfortable having Havertz and no Saka, than another Liverpool attacker and no Salah. Unless he's injured, I think I'm just keeping Haaland.

    4. Hairy Potter
      • 9 Years
      1 month, 25 days ago

      Maybe GW6, depending on how a few players look in the coming weeks, but I might try for later. Currently I don't think I'll be far off the team I want with FTs by the time we get to GW6. I'll need look at some planning this week as it could dictate who I bring in with my FT for GW4.

    Would u do -4 for a Jota to Diaz for the next 5 GWs?

    Any reason not to given his form?

    Appreciate your thoughts 🙂

      Absolutely not, their actual form is very similar just one happens to have scored more points

    Anyone have an opinion on Edouard 5.4 at Leicester?
    Guys think he was brought in to start?

    1. FantasyClub
      • 3 Years

      I know he’s ineligible for next game fyi…

        Found out today, he signed a 3 year extension, and is on 75k a week. I guess we are hoping the Leicester do want to sign him. Wouldnt surprise me to see a £15m RC as we really want our money back, as prices rise

    FFS YouTube channel is a joke. Watching their video with Andy about wildcard teams whilst I try drift off to sleep.

    In the first 30 minutes there have been 10 adverts at least, possibly 12. I am not exaggerating either, go check it. Every 3 minutes there are double adverts.

    The video is over an hour and I have given up watching now.

    Absolute garbage, you’re even recommending KDB in wildcard teams.

      Who needs them anyway. Haven't you seen in comments here people have cracked the code with 4 premiums on a WC set-and-forget XI

      1. OverTinker

        There are no only three premiums in the game. Haaland salah and TAA

          Not really

          5.5m keeper
          7m defender
          10m+ midfielders
          Haaland

    Someone talk me out of Gabriel -> Robertson for a hit (reversed with WC GW6)

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 13 Years
      1 month, 25 days ago

      3x4 = 12pts
      12-4=8 pts

      Best case is 8 pt gain if Robbo gets 3 CS's and Gabi gets none

    How can I improve this with 3.0 itb and one Ft

    1. Mozumbus
      • 3 Years

      Haaland is the obvious improvement here but can't be done with the resources you have
      I'd hold and accumulate FTs to bring in Haaland in the coming GWs

            Eze for you to say

    2. Sailboats
      • 9 Years
      1 month, 25 days ago

      Close. B, as you still have WC imo. Saka next 2 don't look good.

      1. drughi
        • 15 Years
        1 month, 25 days ago

        spurs aint a bad fixture

      2. Hairy Potter
        • 9 Years
        1 month, 25 days ago

        Spurs defence looks poor, so only probably only one bad fixture for an attacker.

    3. Mozumbus
      • 3 Years
      1 month, 25 days ago

      B is the good use of resources you have

    4. drughi

      B leaves a weak midfield, I do just A and eze

      1. George James
        • 9 Years

        Would likely wildcard in GW6 so think could manage till then with weak mid?

    Which combo on WC?

    A. TAA, Havertz, Eze/Mbuemo*
    B. Robbo, Wissa, Saka

    *not sure who to drop for Saka

    Current WC below:

    Raya (Fab)
    TAA* Konsa Dunk 4.0 4.0
    Salah Eze* Mbeumo Semenyo Rogers

      If you’re happy to chose one out of Mbuemo & Eze for a few weeks you can add Saka to that team without losing Trent.

    “ given that this is your long-term squad for the rest of the season”

    Erm

    1. _Freddo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      1 month, 25 days ago

      My favourite hot take of this last week is, ‘you can sell Saka for Salah because of his bad next 2 fixs’ and fhen on the same hand ‘you can buy Mbuemo because he’s a long term pick’

      Both play City & Spurs in the next two.

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        1 month, 25 days ago

        Mbuemo more points last week than Saka previous 2 and 3m less. People want Salah

        1. _Freddo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          1 month, 25 days ago

          And that’s exactly why the contradiction exists, had he scored 2 points & not 15 & Saka put 1 of his 2 good chances away, it wouldn’t be a thing.

      2. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        1 month, 25 days ago

        Historically red fixtures have been blue fixtures for Brentford.

        Moreover the Spurs defence isn't exactly watertight.

        1. The FPL Units
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          1 month, 25 days ago

          This, Spurs is good for attackers.

        2. _Freddo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          1 month, 25 days ago

          Don’t disagree, seems the same logic doesn’t apply to Saka though (who scored home & away in that fix last year while also getting an assist in the home game)

          You can’t push selling one & buying the other because of fixs when both have the same fixs, just admit you’re chasing last weeks points & find peace with it.

          1. The FPL Units
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            1 month, 25 days ago

            Would rather keep Salah and get Havertz. Salah is as fixture proof as it gets.

            1. _Freddo
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 15 Years
              1 month, 25 days ago

              That’s fair, I really want Havertz but can’t get to him unless I sell Saka (which I don’t want to do) I just don’t buy that people are simply going to sell Salah for Saka after these two weeks.

              1. The FPL Units
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 14 Years
                1 month, 25 days ago

                It's got too fixture focused for the premiums. I get it for the cheapies and think that's the play this season.

                1. _Freddo
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 15 Years
                  1 month, 25 days ago

                  100%

                  Saka is the prime example, scores against all the big teams, City, Spurs, United, Liverpool.

                  Unless players get injured I think I’m locking in Raya & Saka, Trent & Salah, Rico & Haaland then focusing on fixs for the rest.

  17. Sailboats

    Bench one defender please. Currently on B.

    A) Dunk (Ipswich home)
    B) Gabriel (Spurs away)
    C) Porro (Ars home)
    D) Robinson (West Ham home)

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      D

    2. _Freddo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      1 month, 25 days ago

      C or D, tough call.

      Arsenal can go anywhere and keep a CS, Robinson can get an attacking return anywhere.

      1. Sailboats
        • 9 Years

    Is a double up off Robertson and Trent worth it? Scotland play today?

    1. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 month, 25 days ago

      Robertson always gets flogged during the international breaks by Clarke. I've always been put off by that.

      1. Bring back ole
        • 7 Years

        Yea thinking the same myself, I have Trent and jota but I'd love a triple up off Liverpool players for the fixtures

    2. Sailboats

      Yea i think so. Their next 2 look like ez cleansheet.

    3. The FPL Units

      That’s plenty time between now and 3pm Saturday between games.

    5. _Freddo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      1 month, 25 days ago

      Structure wise it comes at a price, something has to give in midfield or attack.

      Alisson & Trent might be easier to work and then move Alisson to Raya in two weeks.

  20. Bring back ole

    Is going with Diaz and jota risky?

    1. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 month, 25 days ago

      Depending on what you do with the extra money, I think Trent, Diaz and Jota could be the play for Liverpool.

      1. _Freddo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        1 month, 25 days ago

        That was for the first 3, CL is about to start now which makes it Salah time.

        1. FPL Virgin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          1 month, 25 days ago

          Not sure Salah will be flogged much more than Diaz or Jota.

          I'm a Liverpool fan. Diaz is the fittest of the 3 and the one likely to play the most.

          1. _Freddo
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            1 month, 25 days ago

            Diaz scored 2 against United & got hooked first, quite early,

          2. SouthCoastSaint
            • 13 Years
            1 month, 25 days ago

            You think Diaz will play more FPL minutes than Salah?

    2. Hairy Potter
      • 9 Years
      1 month, 25 days ago

      Yes, unless you think Slot is going to play them week in, week out going forward.

    Best 4.0m def?

    Is Jan Bednarek nailed? Has decent fixtures coming up - MUN, IPS, BOU, LEI, EVE & WOL in next 8 x GWs - that's alright for 3rd bench, right?

    1. _Freddo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      Yeah, doubt you’ll ever get down to your 3rd bench.

      Sounds like him & Greaves are locks in their teams.

    4. SouthCoastSaint
      • 13 Years
      1 month, 25 days ago

      Yes he and Harwood bellis are locked unless injured.

      THB slight more attacking threat with a few assists from quarterback passes. Both an equal threat from set pieces I’d say.

      We won’t get hammered but we will be lucky to get 5 clean sheets this season

      1. _Freddo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years

              Bednarek. THB our best defender but has looked very nervous and struggled to settle into this season. Picked up a couple of stupid bookings too

    Thoughts on this WC squad?

    Alison (Fabianski)
    Robinson - Konsa - Mazraoui / Dunk (4.0, 4.0)
    Palmer - Salah - Saka - Semenyo - Rogers
    Haaland - Pedro - (4.5)

    1. Jonesfromthere
      • 12 Years
      1 month, 25 days ago

      I like it. Not convinced there’s value in defenders this season.

      1. SouthCoastSaint
        • 13 Years
        1 month, 25 days ago

        Top 8 defenders so far are amongst the most expensive …

      2. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        1 month, 25 days ago

        TAA outscoring many players with no attacking returns yet

        1. SouthCoastSaint
          • 13 Years
          1 month, 25 days ago

          This. Being brought off around 70 mins is going to secure some 12 pointers.

          Disallowed goal vs United. Loads of shots from edge of the box. Big score coming in one of these next 2 games just crossing fingers he isn’t rotated and has limited mins in second England game

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 month, 25 days ago

      4 premium teams look horribly weak.

    3. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 month, 25 days ago

      If Pedro back too late from int duty you have 1 playing forward this week.

    4. SouthCoastSaint
      • 13 Years
      1 month, 25 days ago

      Don’t like. Allison seems a waste of a Liverpool spot.

      Don’t just Brighton, United or Villa defences and 1 injury and you’ll have to dip into greaves or bednarek who will concede for fun with not much attacking upside.

      Semenyo is streaky but I like the pick but feel you may have missed some points.

      Rogers could be one that always passes eye test but doesn’t translate into points. Good showing against Everton and I’ll definitely be ditching ESR for him

    5. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      1 month, 25 days ago

      I'll start with Havertz over Saka, since you'll rarely cap Saka over the other three, and Havertz at CF is a good captain for that rare occasion anyway

      Very early days, but 5.0+ have already started out as the best defenders. Going cheap means you're planning to time the likes of Robinson (attacking threat) and Lewis (underpriced rotating Gvardiol-type) semi-perfectly. For example: when last did Villa, Brighton or Man U keep clean sheets at a predictable rate? The only "always defensive small team" left in the league is Everton, while the others seem more open to me in their easier games. If going cheap, I'd at least target those who are very attacking with a nice run of fixtures, like Leif Davis

      You're competing with teams who have premium defenders and spread out their funds from extra captains to more reliable assets all around their squad. I'm not sure how many times you'll cap Palmer over Salah and Haaland to justify this either. But that's just how I see it

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        1 month, 25 days ago

        It's like 4 premium WCers think the premiums will get double figure points every week and it's just not going to happen

      I think you really need to make a decision on one of these attacking premiums & spread it about, can just about get away with 3 but 4 seems a step too far.

    Newcastle attacking assets, what do we think? I was really impressed by Gordon for England yesterday, obviously you have to consider the opposition but he looked like doing something every time he got the ball or made runs in behind.

    I haven't been impressed by them so far I must admit but they are unbeaten despite that and I have a hunch they might have been playing with the handbrake on a bit since the red card vs Southampton. Eddie wouldn't be keen on a centre half pairing of Burn and Kraft (who would) and maybe he's set the team up to protect them, possibly also why Kelly has been preferred to Lewis Hall. Maybe I'm reading too much into that but Schar feels like a big upgrade from GW4 for the team at both ends of the pitch.

    3 of the next 4 are pretty good fixtures for attackers as it stands (wolves, fulham, everton), but they are all also away and they weren't good away from home last season and that away form almost certainly cost them a top 4 place. Saying all of that they still scored goals on the road, only the top 3 last season scored more and Liverpool was only 1 goal more. I think if these were home games we'd be talking about them a lot more than we are but the away factor maybe isn't as bad as we think for attacking assets.

      They were pretty awful away at Bournemouth and looked like the same team as last season.

      Keeping Isak. Would like Barnes if we was nailed as he’s so selfish

      I’m avoiding Newcastle entirely for now. I’m sure they’ll come good as they’ve got too much quality but something seems off.

      Great analysis, including because I agree. Own Isak and Gordon. Both quality players who will return, fingers crossed. Not sure I’d be panicking on getting rid. I can see the appeal for Eze, given the next 3 and Havertz from GW6.

      For now, they’re an easy hold for me.

      Schar being back should help playing out from the back. They were terrible playing from the back against Bournemouth, which caused most of the teams problems.

      Hall vs Kelly still seems unresolved and maybe Trippier or Targett could come into the picture at left back. Hall's positioning isn't great sometimes, but he is decent on the ball.

      I wouldn't necessarily take a great deal from the Spurs match. Newcastle used similar tactics as they did against Spurs last season at SJP and didn't really employ the high press, presumably due to fears of Spurs playing through it. Also they played deep to protect Krafth and Burn. Again the passing from the back and midfield wasn't great.

      Tonali being back is a positive and by all accounts he played well for Italy against France. Gordon looked sharper yesterday than he had so far this season. Bruno G sound like didn't play so well for Brazil though. Isak has looked fine to me this season, but the rest of the team has struggled for sustained possession and just tried to rush counters.

      I'm biased, but I'm keeping Isak. My original plan was to keep him for the long term. There is a chance that I move him to Wissa later to free some funds. I didn't go for any other Newcastle players due to uncertainty about nailed fullbacks and preferred Jota initially to Gordon.

      yea Schar back should really help. likely bringing in Gordon this week to join Isak. Having most set-pieces is great, the fact he's dropped in price and like you say looked lively yesterday

      Gordon was coming off a summer where he was unfairly ostracised by Southgate, and had Liverpool whispering in his ear. time to put that behind him now and start playing

      22 goals in their last 10 away games last season, early season just ruined them tbh with CL last year

    Keen for some thoughts on this WC team please:

    Raya/Fab
    TAA, Robbo, Porro, 4, 4
    Saka, Mbeuno, Eze, Szoboslai, Rogers
    Haaland, Havertz, Pedro

    Or
    I can downgrade Eze to 4.5, turn Pedro into Solanke and have 0.5 ITB to upgrade Rogers to 5.5 or 4 mill Def to 4.5. (this would prob be the plan over several gameweeks anyway)

    I'm willing to perma cap haaland. And I'm convicted that szobalai will come good as no10 for Liv. (Similar to odegaard in previous seasons for arse)

    1. Kiwivillan

      Seriously you want to remove Eze this week for a 4.5 and get Solanke who we don't even know if over injury?

        No, I don't currently have him. Choice is whether to skip getting him in to save future FTs .

        Gauging your response, I'm guessing plan A (go with Eze) is the sensible one!

      I don't understand point of a WC now that doesn't include Salah with next 2 fixtures. I've done -4 to get Salah in after regretting starting without even though my team has scored decent last 3 weeks.

      Wildcarding and not owning Salah is wild

        Yeah, it's feels uncomfortable. I'm just not convinced that either Salah or haaland represent optimal points per million, unless you are regularly captaining them. I can can only cap one each gw, and I'm happy to stick to the one

    Think I can hold here, thoughts?

    Pope
    Saliba Porro Munoz
    Jota Diaz Gordon ESR
    Haaland Isak Muniz

    Sa B.B.Diaz Robinson Gabriel

    1. SouthCoastSaint

      Would play Gabriel over Porro personally but if no injuries you could save

    Zophar is one of the few pundits I pay attention to but I really don't rate his Wildcard, at all
