FPL Marc Broadcaster, writer and overthinker. Hoping that ‘differential potential’ will catch on.

  1. The Red Devil
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    So are we ready for bit of bench points?

    1. Warby84
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      No chance with dbl Leicester

  2. Whiskerz
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    All set

    Flekken
    Taa. Gabriel. Lewis
    Saka. Mbueno. Diaz. Rogers
    Havertz. Haaland(c). Jackson

    Fabi. Dibling. Myko. Greaves

  3. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Played Isak...

    1. Sgt. Schultz
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      not to b Nosy but who comes on

    2. Cinnamon Jackson
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Me too, didn’t fancy -4. THB 1st sub though

  4. Weeb Kakashi
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    This is what I ended up with.

    Flekken
    Gabriel Lewis Pinnock Davis Faes
    Palmer Saka Mbuemo Luiz Rogers
    Haaland Solanke

    1. Pariße
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Triple Brentford.

  5. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    I will probably regret it big time but somehow went Flekken DCL Havertz over Raya Jackson Wood…

    1. Whiskerz
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Nah. You.made the right choice imo.

    2. I am 42
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      for me is Flekken Robertson Havertz to Raya Konate Watkins

      either 1 of us will regret for sure

  6. Qaiss
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Saka captain

    1. dshv
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      For me toi

  7. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Sounds like Lewis starts

    1. I am 42
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      leak said so but I decide not to pick him as I need him for future GW

  8. Dorse88
    • 15 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Fkekken
    Gabriel TAA Konsa
    Salah Saka Rodgers ESR Winks
    Havertz Haaland(c)

    Fabianski Greaves Faes 4.5 striker

    This was my wildcard, I hate Winks in the starting 11 but can rotat
    with Greaves or Faes but needed a 4.5 mid and 4.5 striker to free up funds for the big guns.

  9. Pariße
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    I hadn’t got a chance to truly scout the ~4.5m defenders, Colwill and Lewis are popular. Looking at attacking stats, Digne stands out but is a headache to own, Milenković plays for what looks like an improved Forrest defence, same goes for United players like Mazraoui and Martinez but United are a wait and see for me defensively - they had second most shots conceded at the end of last season (and almost the entire backline is changed), then there’s Dunk, my personal favorite but the fixtures are really bad, Robinson was the hot pick weeks ago but Fulham are not too defensive minded, Guehi, Lacroix are interesting but no attacking output expected.

  10. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Palmer(C) locked in. We feast!!!

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Nah Jota

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Good luck!

      1. PartyTime
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        Thank you

    3. JT11fc
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Swapped Saka out for him last minute on WC, lets gooo

  11. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Assuming everyone has the same team in fantasy challenge ? I forgot to select captain so hope it’s on Mo

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Never mind, forgot the deadline rules are different!

    2. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      You can change till kick off

  12. F4L
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Lewis is just playing in midfield, gonna have to buy him if he does well today

  13. Ginkapo FPL
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Newcastle: Pope; Trippier, Schar, Burn, Hall; Joelinton, Guimaraes, Tonali; Gordon, Murphy, Barnes

    Man City: Ederson; Walker, Dias, Akanji, Gvardiol; Kovacic, Lewis, Gundogan; Silva, Haaland, Grealish

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Newcastle shqtting on City as expected

    2. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Foden died a few weeks ago. Private ceremony

      1. x.jim.x
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        Gonna be some meltdowns in here from the weirdos who genuinely think he was the best player in the league last season

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          • 14 Years
          1 year, 5 months ago

          I wish we stopped playing him for England. He was undoubtably talented, until Pep just wasted his talents

          1. x.jim.x
            • 11 Years
            1 year, 5 months ago

            Southgate playing him for 90 mins every game when he had Gordon, Watkins, Palmer and Eze on the bench should be grounds for exile

        2. Pariße
          • 10 Years
          1 year, 5 months ago

          hahahaha. But what a decline early on, even with Bruyne out he can't get a start.

          1. x.jim.x
            • 11 Years
            1 year, 5 months ago

            Pep saw he created as many big chances as Jacob Murphy last season and decided he’d rather play the ghost of Gundogan instead

            1. Merlin the Wraith
              • 9 Years
              1 year, 5 months ago

              He needs to move on & move out.

            2. jacob1989
              • 4 Years
              1 year, 5 months ago

              Foden clearly the best premier league player last season and deservedly won player of the year. Pep is just crazy.

              1. x.jim.x
                • 11 Years
                1 year, 5 months ago

                Wasn't even the best player on his team and "crazy" Pep is top of the league without him.

                1. Merlin the Wraith
                  • 9 Years
                  1 year, 5 months ago

                  So you wouldn't be happy with him at Utd?

                  1. x.jim.x
                    • 11 Years
                    1 year, 5 months ago

                    How impressive is it to get into a United side that came 8th

                2. jacob1989
                  • 4 Years
                  1 year, 5 months ago

                  Yeah all the people awarding him player of the year in the premier league are foolish. U seem to criticize each good player

                  1. x.jim.x
                    • 11 Years
                    1 year, 5 months ago

                    Only attackers win those awards so using them as a gauge is foolish. Rodri better for City and Watkins better if you want a forward.

      2. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        He needs to rest in peace for awhile, but unlike Jesus, he will come back before Xmas.

    3. F4L
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      tonali finally getting a start, howe took his time

  14. JT11fc
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Lewis in CDM, sheeeesh

    1. One for All
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Yes lol

    2. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Not sure that makes him any more likely to score than as full back.

      Good as a long term buy

      1. JT11fc
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        True, hopefully he has abit of license to push up

  15. Tonyawesome69
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Your City line-up for #NEWMCI

    Ederson, Walker (C), Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol, Lewis, Kovacic, Gundogan, Bernardo, Grealish, Haaland

    SUBS:
    Ortega Moreno, Carson, Stones, Doku, Savinho, Nunes, Foden, McAtee

    1. Skalla
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      City really making it tough to pick a 2nd attacker, was thinking Savio/Doku or Foden from next week...

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        Gvardiol/Ederson probably the best 3rd City pick along with Haaland and Lewis

    2. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Interesting to see Walker + Gvardiol + Lewis starting together.

      1. GENERATION X
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        The new landscape pist Rodri

      2. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        Lewis versatile

  16. Gubby-Allen
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Today's guarantees.

    Haaland will not score
    Salah will score twice / outscore Haaland by two.
    Rico Lewis if he plays will get two of a goal/assist/clean sheet. If he doesn't get any then one of ten regular starters, probably Timber will not play.

  17. Jimmy Boy
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Savinho punt may have been silly in hindsight, he's looked electric when playing so hoping for an impact appearance from the bench

    1. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      That sub appearance is going to put old man Trippier in a hospice

    2. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      I bought him in another FPL game on dream team, seemed a regular starter after Haaland but don't think they have one now.

  18. Sospeter
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Trippier is back

    1. David Parkinson
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Started at Fulham last week.

    2. Mighty Duck
      • 1 Year
      1 year, 5 months ago

      No way until he gets 4.5m

  19. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Who's a better pick next week onwards?

    A. Gvardiol
    B. Lewis

    TAA Gabriel XX Davis y

    1. Pep Roulette
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      y=Faes

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      im sure Gvardiol will look good today as hes playing with Walker, just 5.9 quite a bit to pay without Rodri if City arent regularly keeping cs.

      probably Lewis if he plays well given the chance in midfield

  20. Scotch Jock
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Newcastle: Pope; Trippier, Schar, Burn, Hall; Joelinton, Guimaraes, Tonali; Gordon, Murphy, Barnes
    Man City: Ederson; Walker, Dias, Akanji, Gvardiol; Kovacic, Lewis, Gundogan; Silva, Haaland, Grealish

  21. Mighty Duck
    • 1 Year
    1 year, 5 months ago

    And in the end Walker, Lewis and Kovacic all starting. Pep, you're one big mystery of a man.

    1. I am 42
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Stone benched

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Is that a politer way of saying he is bald

      1. Mighty Duck
        • 1 Year
        1 year, 5 months ago

        :))

  22. F4L
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    does it look likely that Raya will play now? Arteta telling fibs

    1. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      If not today then he should be fine midweek

  23. Holmes
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    No savio and Isak 🙁

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam

      Why?

      1. Prinzhorn

        Chickened out, I don't see Flekken keeping many cs..

  26. Nespinha

    Gabriel, Lewis, Porro, Milenkovic, Greaves +0.5ITB

      Looks fine

  27. Ajax Hamsterdam

    Already regretting some of my decisions from my WC lol what a (FPL) life..

  28. The_FF_King
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Made a last minute decision to do these changes on my wildcard. Good decision?

    Havertz to Wood
    Rogers to Semenyo
    Colwil to Lewis

    1. Pariße
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Might be good might be terrible.

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      You didn't....

    3. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Mmmmmm

    4. DavvaMC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Good apart from 1st one.

  29. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    C Haaland and R Lewis are MCI players to own. Lewis is cheap enough, do occasional benching isn't an issue. Without Rodri Gvardiol is perhaps too expensive, especially often without license to attack.

  30. The Mandalorian
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Pep playing Lewis in Midfield is an experiment.

    No guarantee it lasts

    1. Letsgo!
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Yeah if he assist or score then he keep his place

    2. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      He did say he could play anywhere.

    3. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Lewis versatile, can play most games
