    Recommending DCL is a wild take. Good luck with the red arrows!

      Agreed Everton are awful and he's injury prone. It's the price and pens that is seducing people. Who's gonna win them pens tho? McNeil? Lol

        Exactly .. Not from outside the box he won’t

        I actually like the pick, time will tell

          8 yrs of being worthless isn’t enough for you? Useful exactly one season of that time.

          7 goals from 13xG last year

            Not enough to put me off. Fixtures as good as it gets. Everton will get results over this period and Id back him to get returns. Injury history is a worry. But 22 points so far at 5.9 m.

              Go with your gut I guess mate. Personally I'm going nowhere near him but that doesn't mean others shouldn't if they feel differently. I have Pedro and only other forward I like that's under 7 is Cunha but need the Wolves fixture swing

    2. The Suspended One

      Manager is perfect for him. Hate the player

    3. Casual Player
      • 5 Years

      Is it though?

      Article says has scored 6 goals in last 11

      2 this season, where he has higher PPG over the first 4 weeks than everyone else under 6m, other than the Brighton pair. So if you owned him, he's certainly not been responsible for any red arrows now.

      That's with Everton being awful, they will get slightly better in time IMO, and have a nice draw ahead.

      He is their talisman.

      He also has good historic pedigree for FPL points when fit.

      Actually already had him pegged as the best sub 6.0m option

      1. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Pedro is better but you do make a decent case with him being the talisman, I just don't wanna go there I know he'll frustrate me

        1. Casual Player
          • 5 Years
          1 year, 2 months ago

          That's fair, not for everyone. I might still go Vardy for the bants.

          Just don't think it's wild take as OP said.

          Also if anyone in this article is driving red arrows for you, you have bigger problems lol

          1. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
            • 11 Years
            1 year, 2 months ago

            Still scoring at 37 and he's just a fun player to own innit for bants. I think Cunha is an ideal third forward, just fixtures rn aren't great just yet

    4. Kiwivillan

      It really isn't

      @BANK$Y @THE SUSPENDED ONE lots of DCL fans it seems. When he gets injured within the next month us three can pour ourselves a scotch, we have warned them

    6. jayzico

      Total, unqualified guestimate. Best choice for the under 6m(with that Brentford dude ouT) by far.

      IMO. I'm feeling I need to back him up as I just bought him in place of Isaak. Then I get Saka from Eze.

  2. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Anyone hold any grudge against a certain player in FPL? It's not rational of course but sometimes works out. My grudge is with EZE. Had him from the start of last season was on about 8% ownership. Rated him a year before a lot of people it seems. Had patience with him, 4 blanks and 3 price drops, sold him and he got a haul. So this season when I saw him on 35% ownership I didn't even look at him and now people are feeling the frustration I did 12 months ago. Points dodging and just as unlucky a year later, madness

            I had him that season he got a hat trick towards the start, was lucky, he is a donkey, avoid like the plague. Vardy only cheap forward I'd look at. Shame Duran doesn't start

            1. The Suspended One
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years

              Duran would be a cheat code if Emery knew anything

                Yeah, cos Emery has struggled hasn’t he?

    Thinking of moving more cash to the front in GW6.

    Salah & Pedro to Saka & Watkins.

    Will give me Haaland Havertz & Watkins.

    1. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Sounds good mate, I'm gonna get Havertz on wildcard and maybe Watkins too, Saka is a maybe, 2 mil more than Havertz for an assist every game isnt enough

      1. Havertzenal
        • 1 Year
        1 year, 2 months ago

        the game is about consistency. If having an assist on a bad week, imagine what a good week would do. Saka is consistency and is staying in my team til the end unless he is injured.

        1. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
          • 11 Years
          1 year, 2 months ago

          Yeah your not wrong consistent minutes and points are always a plus. But for 10.0 I want a few explosive hauls. I had Son's 16 pointer against Everton for example and my brother had Palmer's 17 against Wolves. Saka's consistency probably evens it out of course over the season but I want killers in my team just makes it more fun

    2. _Freddo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      I think this is the way I may be heading, I currently have Nketiah but may move money into attack & go Haaland, Watkins & Havertz, figure there’s more variety in mf to hop on/off while cheap forwards are pointy & not really inspiring.

      I have 3 FTs, so can make this happen in 2 weeks.

    I get Wissa in early, 8 pts and ahead a transfer for gwk 6 and then I get 7 benched points and a hole in the team. Nothing worse than gettting punished for a good move

      Who you gonna move him too?

        Nketiah is tempting, so is JP

        Probably Wood in the end

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          I barely rated Nketiah at Arsenal let alone Palace and I already have goal shy Eze

      Lol I brought Carvalho in on WC as my 8th attacker this week, still think he's going to be a good investment, especially now that Wissa is out for a while

      1. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Should help his minutes mate, I put him in cos he said he's going there for gametime and they paid a fair amount for him, but I completely forgot Schade existed

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          1 year, 2 months ago

          I'm experiencing Schadenfreude

          1. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
            • 11 Years
            1 year, 2 months ago

            I had to look that up, clever

        2. lugs
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 2 months ago

          Schade seems a decent player from the handful of times I've seen him, but I think Carvalho is a level above him, he's had a few weeks of bedding in now and I just feel its a matter of time before he's starting games, like you say they did spend a fair amount on him, their record signing I think, and they didn't do that so he can sit on the bench

          1. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
            • 11 Years
            1 year, 2 months ago

            Absolutely mate, I rate him as a player, think he got 2 goals in pre season for Liverpool, record signing for the Bees, hungry to prove himself, all reasons I gambled on him. He's good enough to start for Brentford. Maybe now with Wissa out he gets his chance. Lost 0.2 on him but points matter more. Might stick with him on wildcard as 8th attacker if he starts next game

            1. lugs
              • 8 Years
              1 year, 2 months ago

              they have Spurs away next week so he might not start that one, but from gw6 onwards he should be good to go, oh and I just checked he's not actually their record signing but still the above point still stands 🙂

              1. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
                • 11 Years
                1 year, 2 months ago

                Ah yeah it's that Thiago innit that got injured straight away I think

                  • 8 Years
                  1 year, 2 months ago

                  Yeah that's him, one to keep an eye on whenever he's back

                How you doing in FPL mate mate? The rank swings are crazy this year

                  Not great, gw 3 disaster sent me from 300k to almost 1.7m, climbed back up to 1.5m this week after the WC but still it's early days, wbu ?

                  1. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
                    • 11 Years
                    1 year, 2 months ago

                    After GW1 5.5M OR. GW2 no transfers but TC Haaland and went up to 450k which is mad, rest of my original picks all did well 105 points. Sat at 303k now but everyone is bunched together this early, rank means nothing

                    1. lugs
                      • 8 Years
                      1 year, 2 months ago

                      Well played on the Haaland TC, I only brought him in this week hence my rank, it was tough giving everyone else a 40pt headstart every week lol

                      1. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
                        • 11 Years
                        1 year, 2 months ago

                        Yeah had to be done. Id have still picked him if he was 16.0. Consider TC when he has Southampton at home, they are worse than Ipswich

                    2. Kiwivillan

                      • 11 Years
                      1 year, 2 months ago

                      I'm only 31pts behind ML leader who did Haaland TC. He's 91k and I'm 1.25m rank
                      31pts is nothing

    Hi DZ,

    Playing around in possible preparations for a WC in GW6.

    What is the concensus on Lewis at the moment - solid pick at 4.7, or a punt which requires a starting bench back up (as well as the odd 45-minutes 1-pointer)?

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      *NZ
      Glad I jumped on at 4.5m would be nervous now as I still have Barco and can't wait to fix

    2. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      I think he'll be a headache to own like a lot of city players. Around his price I'm looking at Leif Davis on wildcard as a bench option

      1. Cruyff's Eleven
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Fair enough. I pencilled in Faes and Tuanzebe... Could use the 0.6 to try and get to TAA.

    3. _Freddo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      A starting back up doesn’t help you if he starts and gets hooked at HT.

      1. Cruyff's Eleven
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Hence the 'odd 45-minutes 1-pointer'

        1. _Freddo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          1 year, 2 months ago

          First hand sufferer, thing is, could have spent more on Gvadiol & had the same thing so is it really that bad?

          I’ve focussed more on having Arsenal & Liverpool coverage with him (because those 2 can be relied on for CS) then Rico is a risk worth taking because he has the support.

  8. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Rogers or Onana?

    1. Boberella
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Watching the games, you’d say Rogers. He really should have had quite a few points, but that doesn’t mean much to some.

    2. Mozumbus
      • 4 Years

      Rogers

    Is it just me or does haaland look like a different animal this season? I get why people miten fancy captaining him against a good defensive arsenal team, but man as scored 8 goals in his last 3 games, I'd be shocked if he cudnt manage at least 1 against arsenal, yes Liverpool have the better fixture but they also had that this week too, so glad I didn't bust my team to fit in Salah too,

    1. _Freddo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Well in 3 games last year I don’t think he did muster 1 effort, he may look a different animal but Saliba, Gabriel & Raya don’t look any worse.

      Don’t think Liverpool did have the better fix this week, Haaland smashed the polls.

      1. _Freddo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        *the week just gone.

        The only people who went Salah were those who lost their nerve after the info or those who didn’t own him.

    A) Muniz -> DCL (next week e.g Gordon -> Mbuemo)
    B) Gordon + Muniz -> McNeil + Havertz

    Palace under the lights against a ropey United team, don’t think this is the week to jump off any Palace assets.

    Took a punt on WC for their Leicester fix but they are disposable, not sure I want to lose them this week though, night games at Selhurst being a different vibe.

  13. Valar(Keith)

    Has Mcneil's role changed this season ie gone from a winger to playing behind the striker? Usually averages a safe 3.5 to 4 a game.. This season his xGI has been huge and he seems to be getting points while everton have been poor.

  14. Ninjaa

    Thoughts here? So much needs fixing but only 2 fts this week. 0.0 itb. What 2 transfers to prioritise this gw?

    Raya 4m
    Gvardiol Robinson Konsa Quansah Barco
    Salah Gordon Eze Rogers ESR
    Haaland Isak Wood

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Think you can roll most. Probably fix at least one of Quansah or Barco for starting 4m def

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years

        KV, what do you think of Saka & Pedro to Mbuemo & Watkins & then Salah & Nketiah to Saka & Havertz, all for free, play the fixs.

          I just traded Pedro in so hoping he's ok for next game. I dunno I just played the fixtures last week for -4 and was disaster

  15. SpaceCadet
