    So many great questions unanswered!

    1. Letsgo!
      • 8 Years
      2 months, 23 days ago

      So whos ur captain?

    2. Eze Really?

      2 months, 23 days ago

      Quansah could be gold?

      1. x.jim.x
        • 10 Years
        2 months, 23 days ago

        Gomez is above him surely

        1. Eze Really?
          • 10 Years
          2 months, 23 days ago

          Notice the words "could be"

          1. x.jim.x
            • 10 Years
            2 months, 23 days ago

            Kieran Tierney could be gold

            1. Eze Really?
              • 10 Years
              2 months, 23 days ago

              A hint of sarcasm methinks.

    Suggestions for my team, 3 FTs, 0 ITB.
    Ranked 200k, topping my mini league, had Salah captain every gameweek so far, despite one 🙂

    Flekken
    V Berg, Dijk, Colwill, Nouri
    Salah, Mebeumo, Foden
    Cunha, Wood, Haaland
    Fabianski, Buanotte, Rogers, Lewis

    My current thoughts is to do Buanotte, Haaland, Foden - > Saka, Palmer, JPedro + 2.6 ITB, okay those, and bench boost

    1. Brunsvigeren
      • 9 Years
      2 months, 23 days ago

      Maybe - 4 for a Lewis upgrade aswell?

    This doesn't make it any easier.

    In festive period it will be two teams fighting each other:

    Haaland + cheap defense + No Saka
    vs.
    no-Haaland + Saka + stacked defense.

    I am still currently in afraid mode and stuck with Haaland and torn whether I should just do some 4.5 defense swaps and keep Haaland or should I change my structure to allow Saka etc. Also Haaland team might be lacking one of the (currently) very well performing cheap forwards such as Pedro for me, at least this gw against Soton (I have also Wissa LEI and Cunha BOU who cannot be transferred out yet).

    1. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 months, 23 days ago

      So basically 2-3 Arsenal in latter team and 0-1 in the first team 😀

    I must say Zoph answered my question brilliant. A proper pro pundit answer.

    1. Jaws
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 months, 23 days ago

      No offence, but pretty sure 60-70% on this site could have answered this as well. In fact any question about your 'Fourmium' answers itself.

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 months, 23 days ago

        Not really. Walsh from FML FPL is going four-mium and it's viable for him with cheap forwards doing well this season and with there being no good defenders worth paying extra for.

        1. Hairy Potter
          • 9 Years
          2 months, 23 days ago

          If I had a WC, I'd probably go with a fourmium at the minute. I can't get to it with my team, but I wouldn't say it was a bad idea. Pretty easy to correct, if you felt it wasn't working.

  5. Maddamotha
    • 8 Years
    2 months, 23 days ago

    The plan is to get Saka and Salah the next 2 gws. But who do I get in first?

    A) Saka
    B) Salah

    1. Silecro
      • 7 Years
      2 months, 23 days ago

      Salah

    2. Waylander
      • 8 Years
      2 months, 23 days ago

      On paper Saka but Man City have been poor defensively.

    3. Dazzler
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 months, 23 days ago

      Saka

  6. fusen
    • 13 Years
    2 months, 23 days ago

    Anyone else considering a Jaoa Pedro captaincy this week?

    Captains will be spread across Salah/Palmer/Saka/Haaland this week so less damage in theory if things go wrong (as long as you also at least own those players).

    I don't own Saka or Haaland so the obvious choice is Salah then Palmer (IMO) but I think an in form Pedro who is against Saints at home could be a gamble worth making. The lack of guaranteed minutes is the real kicker though.

    1. Waylander
      • 8 Years
      2 months, 23 days ago

      Yeah it's tempting as both Palmer and Salah hauls a bit uncertain this week. Pedro surely scores vs SOU.

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      2 months, 23 days ago

      Friday night game and may not play 90 mins compared to Salah/Palmer is the issue for me

      1. Waylander
        • 8 Years
        2 months, 23 days ago

        What's wrong with Friday night game? In the last Friday night match Wood scored a brace.

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 6 Years
          2 months, 23 days ago

          Psychological with potential captaincy blank at the start of the GW

    3. WVA
      • 8 Years
      2 months, 23 days ago

      Mbeumo hasn’t blanked at home

    4. mookie
      • 11 Years
      2 months, 23 days ago

      I'm considering it. Between him and Palmer for me.
      Last 10 starts in the PL
      89'
      90'
      88'
      90'

    5. Amartey Partey
      • 5 Years
      2 months, 23 days ago

      I am.

      I’ll probably stick with Salah though.

    6. Steavn8k
      • 1 Year
      2 months, 23 days ago

      Really tempting this week yeah. Mbeumo and Cunha are both tempting as well, but might stick with Salah considering City's defensive issues.

  7. WVA
    • 8 Years
    2 months, 23 days ago

    I have 5.2m burning a hole in my pocket, any obvious upgrades this week? 18k.

    Raya
    Porro Robinson VdB
    Salah Palmer Saka Mbeumo
    Cunha Pedro Wood
    Fab Rogers Faes Greaves

    1. FlyingCanary
      • 5 Years
      2 months, 23 days ago

      DEF upgrade?

      1. WVA
        • 8 Years
        2 months, 23 days ago

        RAN?
        Might get Gvardiol next week.

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      2 months, 23 days ago

      Depends how many FTs. Defender transfer stands out but you may want to sell Mbeumo and Wood from 14

      1. WVA
        • 8 Years
        2 months, 23 days ago

        Yeah I don’t think it’s worth a FT

        1. David Parkinson
          • 2 Years
          2 months, 23 days ago

          You can play Rogers midweek so just get Timber and lose Faes.

          1. WVA
            • 8 Years
            2 months, 23 days ago

            Timber has been trash mate!?

  8. Waylander
    • 8 Years
    2 months, 23 days ago

    Bruno > Saka worth a -4?

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 months, 23 days ago

      Not for a hit, imo. Give Bruno another shot at least

    2. David Parkinson
      • 2 Years
      2 months, 23 days ago

      Do it for free next week.

  9. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    2 months, 23 days ago

    My team is in the mud! Only 1 defender who isn’t flagged (Dalot) and he’s at risk of a benching too. Konate and Gabriel flagged, Van de Ven still out and Greaves doubtful!

    Yikes!

    1. Waylander
      • 8 Years
      2 months, 23 days ago

      Gabriel is thought to be ok but might need one other defender in.

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      2 months, 23 days ago

      VDV to Van Hecke/Hall

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        2 months, 23 days ago

        Was hoping to roll FT to next week so I can do Isak to Saka in 2 moves for no hit.

        It’s not like defenders are getting points at the moment, anyway, is it!

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 6 Years
          2 months, 23 days ago

          Roll FT vs potentially playing with 9-10 players...straightforward decision imo

    3. mookie
      • 11 Years
      2 months, 23 days ago

      Amorim said in his presser that he will have to rotate. He also said the players that play today will not train for 2 days or something like that.
      I would assume if Dalot starts today, it won't help his chances to start at the weekend.

    4. Amartey Partey
      • 5 Years
      2 months, 23 days ago

      Dalot will start. You’re fine there.

  10. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 months, 23 days ago

    Been planning it for weeks, but is this finally the GW to ditch Haaland? 3FT, £4.7m ITB

    Haaland to Joao Pedro,
    McNeil to Palmer/Saka

    ... is appealing. Leaves a whopping £8.8m ITB to do... pretty much anything else either now with the remaining FT, or in future weeks. Thoughts and alternative suggestions always appreciated!

    Flekken (4.0)
    Gabriel Ait-Nouri Robinson (Lewis Faes)
    Salah Mbeumo ESR Rogers (McNeil)
    Haaland Jimenez Cunha(c)

    1. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 months, 23 days ago

      I would do those moves (I ditched Haaland last week, and even that was too late).
      Triple Fulham seems to be excessive as well. Would get both Saka and Palmer this week if it was me, especially with 3 FT.

  11. dshv
    • 7 Years
    2 months, 23 days ago

    Currently on 11k rank. What's next?

    Raya
    Gabriel Hall Konate
    Salah Palmer Esr/Rogers Saka
    Watkins Jackson Pedro

    Which to play between Esr and Rogers?
    Do I need to make any changes?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      2 months, 23 days ago

      Currently 746k - Konate unlikely to be available at the weekend

    2. FlyingCanary
      • 5 Years
      2 months, 23 days ago

      Solid, Konate / Gab is flagged so keep an eye on that if your DEF bench isnt great, otherwise roll...for ESR/Rogers flip a coin

    3. dshv
      • 7 Years
      2 months, 23 days ago

      Konate options???

    4. Jaws
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 months, 23 days ago

      In a similar boat. I've got Watkins-Jackson-Cunha upfront and strongly considering a Watkins - JP switch. Maybe a Watkins - Cunha switch for you?

      1. dshv
        • 7 Years
        2 months, 23 days ago

        Want Watkins for next four

  12. CheesyZoot
    • 5 Years
    2 months, 23 days ago

    Lewis > Timber worth a -4?

    Already having to play Gvardiol in a back 4 with Ait-Noiri & VDB this week and hard to see a city clean sheet

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      2 months, 23 days ago

      No

    2. David Parkinson
      • 2 Years
      2 months, 23 days ago

      Yes, might even turn an immediate profit.

  13. Bruno Commando
    • 10 Years
    2 months, 23 days ago

    Have Wood currently, and looking to move to Joao Pedro next GW. However, I am tempted by the form of Joao Pedro and contemplating about bringing the move forward to this GW. It is now a comparison between who will score more points in 'similarly-easy' fixtures. Who scores more in GW13?

    1) Wood (H) vs Ipswich
    2) Joao Pedro (H) vs Soton

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      2 months, 23 days ago

      Keep Wood and be flexible with the transfer next GW

    2. Holmes
      • 11 Years
      2 months, 23 days ago

      Wood

    3. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 months, 23 days ago

      Agree with what's been said so far!

    4. Bruno Commando
      • 10 Years
      2 months, 23 days ago

      Thanks everyone!

  14. Holmes
    • 11 Years
    2 months, 23 days ago

    Palmer to Saka?

    1. David Parkinson
      • 2 Years
      2 months, 23 days ago

      Nah.

    2. mookie
      • 11 Years
      2 months, 23 days ago

      You know everyone will say no.

      1. Holmes
        • 11 Years
        2 months, 23 days ago

        True that

    3. Bruno Commando
      • 10 Years
      2 months, 23 days ago

      I think Palmer has hauls incoming with the fixtures...

    4. x.jim.x
      • 10 Years
      2 months, 23 days ago

      Why?

      1. Holmes
        • 11 Years
        2 months, 23 days ago

        Saka has got better numbers in last 2-3 games. Fixtures kind of similar and wont be captaining any of them. And possibly thats my easiest route to Saka.

        1. x.jim.x
          • 10 Years
          2 months, 23 days ago

          Palmer had considerably harder fixtures so not really a fair comparison

    5. Eze Really?
      • 10 Years
      2 months, 23 days ago

      My thoughts:
      Palmer could run riot against a defensive high line.
      Saka clearly on form.
      Odegaard back to help Saka.
      Palmer forced deeper if Enzo plays. Enzo in his way.
      Palmer a higher ceiling IMO.
      Saka away from home.

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 6 Years
        2 months, 23 days ago

        Tactical change in Palmer playing deep and Enzo further forward in the last game was due to Gusto was ill and no recognised FB at RB. I don't expect this to happen again

        1. Eze Really?
          • 10 Years
          2 months, 23 days ago

          Fair enough. Let us see

        2. Hairy Potter
          • 9 Years
          2 months, 23 days ago

          Hard to tell. I think the plan definitely seems to be 3-2-5 in attack. That means one of the fullbacks pushes into an inside forward position (if two wingers) or wide (if two tens). I think Enzo drifted forward given the opposition and space, but maybe got in Palmer's way.

          1. Tonyawesome69
            • 6 Years
            2 months, 23 days ago

            It's normally Gusto from RB that pushes forward when in possession.

            Good info on the Chelsea tactical change
            https://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2024/11/24/fpl-notes-gusto-winks-neto-fitness-latest-enzo-advanced

            1. Hairy Potter
              • 9 Years
              2 months, 23 days ago

              Thanks, from the (limited) games I've seen it was Cucurella running into the left inside forward position, and then out wide this past GW to accommodate Felix. He didn't seem to be doing much, but it got the 5 in attack and distracted the opposition defence. It also allowed Palmer to be in the inside right position. I'm not sure how it would work with Gusto and Felix. I guess Gusto back would mean having to play a Neto or Sancho in LW and dropping Felix.

    6. Hairy Potter
      • 9 Years
      2 months, 23 days ago

      As a Haaland keeper, I think I could be tempted by Palmer & Wissa plus cash to Saka & Jackson in a few GWs. I'd initially discounted Saka in my threemium, but he might be a steady accumulator of points against Palmer's hauls and blanks.

      1. Holmes
        • 11 Years
        2 months, 23 days ago

        Yep, thats the route I'm willing to move forward on. Palmer is not my type, its easier to keep Saka.

        1. Hairy Potter
          • 9 Years
          2 months, 23 days ago

          A YC for Jackson this GW would help with my planning, which is all over the place!

          1. Holmes
            • 11 Years
            2 months, 23 days ago

            True, planning is something I'm not able to do at the moment. Seems like every week, I'm chasing a new player. Next week, I'll have to take care of Bruno and Garnacho.

    7. Amartey Partey
      • 5 Years
      2 months, 23 days ago

      Dangerous. Recency bias.

      1. Hairy Potter
        • 9 Years
        2 months, 23 days ago

        One man's 'recency bias' is another man's 'form'.

        I'm not sure there is a clear better pick from the two TBH, but I wouldn't discount Saka outscoring Palmer.

        1. Captain Mal
            2 months, 23 days ago

            Palmer way ahead of Saka for me. Saka almost never being a captaincy option is the convincing argument in my opinion.

    8. Stimps
      • 11 Years
      2 months, 23 days ago

      Already on a -4

      Raul to Pedro worth another hit?

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 6 Years
        2 months, 23 days ago

        No

      2. Botman and Robben
        • 8 Years
        2 months, 23 days ago

        no

      3. Holmes
        • 11 Years
        2 months, 23 days ago

        Looks worth it on paper.

    9. Botman and Robben
      • 8 Years
      2 months, 23 days ago

      1FT 1.4M ITB.

      Roll FT or do Solanke -> Cunha?

      Sánchez
      Mazraoui Gabriel VVD
      Palmer Mbeumo Johnson Salah
      Jackson Solanke Wood

      Matthews Winks Robinson Faes

      1. Sho-kun
        • 7 Years
        2 months, 23 days ago

        Think Cunha is a must-have atm

    10. PukkiBlinder
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 months, 23 days ago

      Start:
      A- Flekken
      B- Verbruggen

      1. Amartey Partey
        • 5 Years
        2 months, 23 days ago

        Coin toss. I’d probably go B but I only own A.

    11. FPL Sanky
      • 1 Year
      2 months, 23 days ago

      Johnson to Mitoma or Strand Larsen to J.Pedro?

      I know Pedro is the hot pick this week but I didn't like the Johnson benching last week and with Madders doing well and Kulu unbenchable, I don't think Johnson starts against FUL

      1. The Mighty Whites
        • 10 Years
        2 months, 23 days ago

        B

      2. Eze Really?
        • 10 Years
        2 months, 23 days ago

        I just did Solanke and Johnson to Saka and Cunha. Get them done and hope for the best. Spurs frustrating.

      3. Dazzler
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 months, 23 days ago

        B

    12. Holmes
      • 11 Years
      2 months, 23 days ago

      Alternative move:

      McNeil to cheapie and Stewart to Pedro for -4pts?

      1. Eze Really?
        • 10 Years
        2 months, 23 days ago

        You may want 5 mids for Xmas rotation and injuries. Pedro is optimal though.

        1. Dazzler
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          2 months, 23 days ago

          This

      2. Tonyawesome69
        • 6 Years
        2 months, 23 days ago

        Not a huge fan of fodders in the attacking spots unless you have good fixtures and nailed picks

    13. The Mighty Whites
      • 10 Years
      2 months, 23 days ago

      1FT, 0.6 ITB, thoughts:

      Flekken - Valdimarsson
      Gabriel - Ait-Nouri - Colwill - Greaves - Bednarek
      Salah - Palmer - Mbuemo - Semenyo - Rogers
      Haaland - J Pedro - Strand Larsen

            Cheers, leaning that way but he may not make the starting line up again anyway.

        Not a lot to choose from in DEF, best in the 4.5 region?
        a) Hall
        b) Van Hecke
        c) Other

        1. Captain Mal

            Hall only if you can rotate. Van Hecke better if you want to play him every week.

              Is Welbeck to Pedro too sideways of a move? Pedro is on penalties and more creative, but Welbeck remains their number nine.
              It would leave me with zero free transfers.

                I am about to own both. Think I'd prefer to own JP due to form but Welbeck could suddenly haul and make the swap very hard to swallow.

                    2 months, 23 days ago

                    I can't do that, I'm not selling Cunha / Haaland. Maybe I'll give Welbeck the Southampton game and decide afterwards. He's given me so many points this season and has a great run for fixtures ahead that I'd like to keep him, but Pedro looks fantastic value. Tough call.

                  Tough call but would prefer Pedro

                Haaland to J. Pedro transfer already locked for me. Also tempted to do a second transfer for a hit. Should I...

                A) Rogers to Saka
                B) Semenyo to Saka
                C) No hit

                Cheers.

                    2 months, 23 days ago

                    I would like to keep Semenyo long term, so probably A, Rogers played 90 minutes yesterday and his prospects against Chelsea don't look great.

                  Does B.Johnson start this week? Contemplating if him to Saka is worth a -4

                  Good to go? I used my FT on Raul > Pedro.

                  Best captain choice out of this lot

                    Reliable source for Liverpool info states Konate avoided serious injury
