      Might just work.

    2. Amartey Partey

      Risky

    Salah is a no brainer.
    In form, plum fixture, let’s hope Amorim starts Casemiro & Eriksen together again.

      Why would he?

    Just seen a surprising stat on BBC that the team that’s conceded the fewest away goals this season is… Spurs! Wouldn’t have even been in my top ten guesses!

    1. Timanfaya

      Me neither.

    2. Amartey Partey

      Good thing they’re playing at home

    Undecided. 50-50 between Mo and Maddison.

    Advice appreciated, 1 FT, 1.2M ITB:

    Raya
    Saliba, Robinson, Munoz
    Salah, Palmer, Bruno, Kulusevski
    Isak, Jesus, Jackson

    (Fabianski, Amad, Faes, AWB)

    A) AWB & Jackson -> TAA & Wood (-4)

    C) Saliba & Bruno -> TAA & Diaz/Gordon (-4)

    Who is the best captain?

    Copy paste the article from last week and keep using same till last GW

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 months, 6 days ago

      I realise they have to do it, but its a lot of words to give an answer that only requires two letters: Mo.

    2. Timanfaya
      • 2 Years
      11 months, 6 days ago

      It's always a relief when I get to the bit that says "This content is restricted to Premium Members."

  7. Dutchy FPL
    • 2 Years
    11 months, 6 days ago

    Comes down to play either Mykolenko in a 4-man defence or Enzo in a 3-4-3. Keep faith in Enzo with set pieces seems the the option with the most upside, had a xGI of 0,93 last GW. But Everton still has a great clean sheet potential. Other defenders are Lewis, Hall and Gabriel. Any advice?

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      11 months, 6 days ago

      Enzo

  8. Bullet Eder
    • 10 Years
    11 months, 6 days ago

    Is nobody tempted to triple captain Mo this week? It strikes me he is playing every game as if it might be his last for Liverpool, what with the contract situation. Last chance to put United to the sword at Anfield? Hard to imagine him not racking up double digits again this week.

    1. Dutchy FPL
      • 2 Years
      11 months, 6 days ago

      I played TC against Leicester. But, seems a good option. Can/Will he outscore DGW 24 / 25? If you think so, go for it.

    2. Silecro
      • 8 Years
      11 months, 6 days ago

      Whatever he does this week, what makes you think he wont do that x2 in upcoming double ganeweek?

      1. Biggsy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        11 months, 6 days ago

        I think this is the thing for me - in current form the only thing better (in FPL terms) than this fixture for Mo is 180 minutes of him in an imminent DGW.

      2. Bullet Eder
        • 10 Years
        11 months, 6 days ago

        The certainty that Mo is fit and firing. 90 minutes are guaranteed against United with no threat of rotation. There is an opportunity cost as well as other chips may prove more valuable in a double gameweek, but I’ll admit I haven’t bothered to work that out yet

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      11 months, 6 days ago

      Maybe snow yellow warning this weekend is a factor to consider on TC

    4. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      11 months, 6 days ago

      As unlikely as it is United have a chance on causing an upset and only losing 2-0.

      None of those options scream significant upgrades, so for me i'd probably roll.

  11. Miguel Sanchez
    • 9 Years
    11 months, 6 days ago

    Need to start thinking about setting aside some manager funds soon...

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      11 months, 6 days ago

      My plan is simple ... downgrading Jackson to somebody at the time when needed 😛

  12. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    11 months, 6 days ago

    As much as I admire and love Salah, is there any point in carrying about how he does this week? Gains will be minimal if he hauls and, at the same time, you won't lose much if he blanks as almost everyone will (c) him. Kinda pointless topic right now, will be interesting for the GW21 tho.

    1. Mainoo Magic
      • 10 Years
      11 months, 6 days ago

      Agree how he does won't really make any difference as pretty much every engaged and active manager will own and captain him.

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      11 months, 6 days ago

      Nope, you're right. It's a 10 man game at the minute.

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 months, 6 days ago

      JianBatra is going Palmer over Salah atm (talks about it around 13 mins here: https://youtu.be/1NLz6lOMzcc?si=K_9b-WeUCArasQaW). He’s one of the CCs I really like (not a stats / AI manager, more tactics focused) but still feels an unnecessary risk to me

      All you can kind of go off IMO is that Man Utd have been ‘ok’ in some big away games i.e. 2-0 to Arsenal GW14 with Saka/Havertz/Martinelli/Odegaard blanking (goals from Timber/Saliba), 1-2 vs. Man City GW16 with Haaland/Foden blanking (goal from Gvardiol) and of course 0-0 vs. Liverpool at Anfield last season.

      But Liverpool looked so deadly vs. West Ham and more importantly I don’t see massively higher upside in Palmer anyway given Chelsea looking a bit lacklustre, Palace not been walkovers, it being an away game etc. If anything I’d prefer a massively inform Isak or Haaland with KDB back vs. that patchy West Ham defence.

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        11 months, 6 days ago

        A case could be made for Palmer last week, but it's objectively Salah this.

        1. Sun Jihai
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          11 months, 6 days ago

          Yeah
          This is not a bad visualisation: https://x.com/Ghono_FF/status/1875100867256590791?t=bO3QxoJ9B_ORt2qRmTL0eg&s=19

          I don't see much going for Palmer. Haaland and Isak bit more of a potential angle (26-27 big chances conceded for TOT/WHU in last 6 vs. 11-12 for MUN/CRY)

      2. Tommy Template
        • 11 Years
        11 months, 6 days ago

        Jian's gone against the grain a few times this season. I'm unsure if he genuinely thinks its the way to go or he's just trying to be a bit edgey for clicks.

    4. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      11 months, 6 days ago

      Yes as there will be GWs similar to last GW where folks would like to gamble on non-Salah cap. Expect his EO to drop in 21/22

  13. Mainoo Magic

    Hi all, I have £2.5m itb but 0ft's, is any transfer worth a hit here? going to have to go with the team below as it stands with no playing sub most likely.

    Onana

    Hall gabriel milenkovic kerkez

    Palmer salah (c) fernandes Sarr

    Isak Jesus

    Bench: fabianski* cunha* rogers* okoli

    1. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      11 months, 6 days ago

      No hit I would say

    2. BobbyDoesNotLook

      Looks good to go

  14. Magic Zico

    Raya
    Timber* Hall Lewis
    Salah Palmer Diaz Martinelli
    Isak Jackson Pedro

    Fab Amad Munoz Myko

    What would you do? 1FT 2.0ITB
    A. Save FT play Munoz
    B. Timber > TAA

    Wildcard team. Any glaring issues? 1.3 in the bank. Thanks in advance!

    Henderson (3.9)

    TAA, Gabriel, Robinson, Hall, Greaves

    Salah, palmer, Gordon, Diaz, I Sarr

    Isak, Wood, Jimenez

    Bench boost already used so I don’t need to worry too much about having all 15 regularly rotating.

    1. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Bench headaches?

      1. Cold Palms
        • 1 Year
        11 months, 6 days ago

        You have to be covered by a good bench if you don’t have Haaland - spare money or good players on the bench?

    2. Bullet Eder
      • 10 Years
      11 months, 6 days ago

      Looks really good to me. I think I prefer Joao Pedro over Jimenez and would still want to find room for Rogers on wildcard.

      1. Bacon3339
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        11 months, 6 days ago

        I’ve been on Pedro for a bit and he’s just become a bit of a trap for me! Never scores when I have him. I take
        Your point about Rogers but I do really like the midfield. I could go Sarr to Roger’s and maybe Mateta up top as keen to target palace fixtures

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      11 months, 6 days ago

      Depending on Robinson purchase price, consider Castagne for more funds e.g. Assistant man chip

    4. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      11 months, 6 days ago

      This is almost my side without using WC

      1. Bacon3339
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        11 months, 6 days ago

        I am pleased for you

        1. Eze Really?
          • 11 Years
          11 months, 6 days ago

          Try and read into it. How many changes is he making to get there? I do not have a revolutionary team. It is more likely he will not need a WC.

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

        This is a good point here.

        Sure, you are WCing as your team is behind the curve but you may have lost the advantage against the current template. The additional benefits of a WC should also allow you to be ahead of the curve and save FTs against non-WC teams (hope this makes sense)

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 6 Years
          11 months, 6 days ago

          For example, an Everton player in your draft in preparation for the double so you are 1FT ahead of other teams

    5. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      11 months, 6 days ago

      Nice, like the mids

  16. SuperDan
    • 10 Years
    11 months, 6 days ago

    Pick one:
    A) Cunha > Jesus (-4)
    B) Play Amad
    C) Play Young

  17. Sharkytect
    • 11 Years
    11 months, 6 days ago

    I'm going with haaland captain. Can't see most of this article but my thinking is:

    West Ham defensively bad over last 5-6 games, even if you decide to remove the Liverpool 5-0.

    Still without fabianski.

    Without bowen - not defensive, no, but will lose confidence without him.

    I've got haaland....so I might as well captain him (if I'm being honest with myself...this is probably my key reason!)

    not gonna lie, quite tempted to bring Bruno back in after this week... some very nice fixtures coming up... between him and Gordon for me but already have Hall and Isak

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 months, 6 days ago

      So if you didn't have Isak, you would get Gordon?

      1. Zimo
        • 7 Years
        11 months, 6 days ago

        Probably feels in isolation Gordon might be the better pick but tripling up on a team is always risky. If form drops off you have 3 problems to take care of.

  21. Nespinha
    • 10 Years
    11 months, 6 days ago

    Defense seems like overkill, downgrade Timber to Castagne to enable Iwobi to Gordon?

    Gabriel, Timber, TAA, Milenkovic, Hall

      1. vova
        • 15 Years
        11 months, 6 days ago

        you reckon he starts over Gakpo/Diaz? Both are inform, not sure Slot will want to change the winning recipe in a big game
