    Hall Taa Robinson Colwill greaves
    1 FT 1.6 itb

    Colwill to Kerkez/Muniz or keep and of course will hit the budget for high prices managers

    Also an option semenyo/dango for amad and play over Wood ?

    A) SAVE

    D) Gordon -> Malen / Rashford

    1. MarcusAurelius

      If you’re thinking of selling either Wood or Gordon I’d just bench one of them instead and play Dango

      1. Cesc Pistols
        • 11 Years
        4 months, 16 days ago

        This, plus B and C.

        Ollie and Mbeumo could go absolutely nuts against Ipswich and Soton, respectively.

    Is there a transfer planner tool which has incorporated the manager chip? Livefpl doesn't seem to have that functionality so having to manually try and think about budgets required alongside the transfers available or whether hits are incurred for sawpping managers this week and next.

    Any other options appreciated

      As far as I noticed works.

          The FFS mobile app works well too

    Speaking specifically on Watkins, he added: “For him, each day is being important, how he is feeling, but for Sunday, I think he is not going to be available because today he didn’t train.

    “Tomorrow, I think he is not going to train as well, because he will need more days to recover.

    “Hopefully, for next week, he will be available.”

    yea Trent isnt making Everton

      Would help in my H2H ML if only that were true, tho not wishing ill on the lad. 🙂

  7. Dotherightthing
    • 9 Years
    4 months, 16 days ago

    I need a gk to replace Sanchez, I’ve got triple Liverpool already…
    I could put Martinez with the double, but Villa has not the greatest run and they always conceive.

    Any advise on a GK?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      4 months, 16 days ago

      Villa also blank in 29 so it's another GK transfer.

      Raya would be my pick if you can afford him. Alternatively jump down to Kepa assuming you are unlikely to triple up on Bournemouth outfield players

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 months, 16 days ago

        Kepa is a good shout

      2. Dotherightthing
        • 9 Years
        4 months, 16 days ago

        I’ve got Gabriel already, and I’m very likely playing the FH on 29…
        Yes I was looking at Kepa, in fact it’s pretty much btw him and Martinez… thanks

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 6 Years
          4 months, 16 days ago

          Henderson is worth considering if looking to FH29

          1. Dotherightthing
            • 9 Years
            4 months, 16 days ago

            True, I’ve got Munoz though… but yh defo in the shortlist, cheers

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 months, 16 days ago

      I'd avoid the Villa defense.

      Goalkeeper is tricky

      Pickford is as good as many, if not better?

      1. Dotherightthing
        • 9 Years
        4 months, 16 days ago

        I’ve got triple Everton, with Moyes which I’ll change for Emery already, that’s enough Everton I think

    3. Haa-lala-land
      • 4 Years
      4 months, 16 days ago

      Sa is only 4.3 with pretty good fixtures and will spring more surprise cleanies

      1. Dotherightthing
        • 9 Years
        4 months, 16 days ago

        He is in watchlist too, shame next three fixtures are not the best, but after that can defo come in, especially thinking about future Bench boost. Thanks

  8. Tonyawesome69

    Malen not registered in the UCL KO rounds. Wonder if this suggests Rashford is the backup CF. He isn't great at pressing the front...

    https://x.com/johntownley11/status/1887866404897993029?t=iyVHb1nDdeItOEED73ILog&s=19

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 months, 16 days ago

      Would Villa be covering the lions share of those wages unless Rashford was seen as a starter?

      Probably not right away ...

      The January transfer window does put some speculation into the Villa team ahead of the double.

    2. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      4 months, 16 days ago

      Think that is where they'll use him though, since the 'LW' in Emery's system isn't really the inside-forward type of role that would suit Rashford. McGinn/Ramsey sit narrower and have a fair bit of defensive work to do

    3. Haa-lala-land
      • 4 Years
      4 months, 16 days ago

      We've seen enough of Emery to suggest he doesn't throw his new signings straight into his starting X1

  9. Bobby Digital
    • 7 Years
    4 months, 16 days ago

    Are we subbing Slot for Arteta in GW26?

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 months, 16 days ago

      Probably. But could be tempted by Pep if City have table bonus.

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 months, 16 days ago

      It's a shame that Man Utd at Everton isn't going to be a table bonus match

      They've blown it

    3. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 months, 16 days ago

      Leicester home to Brentford looks a good punt for the bold...

      There's also Ipswich at home to Spurs! Could be a bit too much in the hunt for the bonus points.

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 7 Years
        4 months, 16 days ago

        Yeah, I think I'll rather play it safe

      2. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 months, 16 days ago

        By the time the game comes around Ipswich may not even be eligible to get table bonus vs. Tottenham...!

        1. Jimmy B
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          4 months, 16 days ago

          This chip and the league is so crazy that at this stage with only 1 game to be played in 25 for most of the clubs but 3 for Pool, 2 for Villa & Everton, any of the games in 26 could still potentially qualify for bonus.

          Confirmed ones are:
          ARS-WHU (Potter)
          BOU-WOL (Pereira)
          SOU-BHA (Juric)

    4. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 months, 16 days ago

      Is it worth a transfer? I'd still expect Liv to beat current MCI. Riskier than Whu, but that's not 100% win either.

      1. MarcusAurelius
        • 9 Years
        4 months, 16 days ago

        Only needed a draw for 5 points makes it tempting though. With the 10 point carrot dangling too! I’m unsure on wether to go for table bonus or play safe

        1. MarcusAurelius
          • 9 Years
          4 months, 16 days ago

          Needing*

      2. Bobby Digital
        • 7 Years
        4 months, 16 days ago

        Yea I'm thinking the same. Subs are valuable af now with the blank in GW29 and our teams filled with Villa/Pool/Newc/Palace players...

    5. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 months, 16 days ago

      The two I'm considering are Arteta or, if the placings work, possibly McKenna

  10. adrianh2024
    • 1 Year
    4 months, 16 days ago

    Worth going with Digne over Timber or Aina in GW25? I already have him and he generally does bugger all but 2 games on offer

    1. Black Knights
      • 13 Years
      4 months, 16 days ago

      I've got him and yeah, two games to let us down. Can't wait to get rid of him in 26 but need to keep for his no-show vs IPS and his HT sub off vs LIV.

      1. Jimmy B
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 months, 16 days ago

        Villa's defence wouldn't inspire me to bring one in especially given it adds to the 29 headache but if you already owned one you'd play them surely

  11. KeanosMagic
    • 3 Years
    4 months, 16 days ago

    2 moves that seem popular at the moment:

    Isak to Watkins
    Get Slot for the double.

    I was just thinking to get in Emery (currently on Moyes)

  12. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 10 Years
    4 months, 16 days ago

    I have no villa assets

    A amad to Rogers
    B Amad to a Bournemouth mid ?

    Cheers

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 months, 16 days ago

      B ( i am holding Rogers though).

      I am more likely to go Isak to Watkins if fit, as i only have 0.2 tied up, but i'd doubt i will do that.

      I have Sarr to will probably do that move this week and perhaps bench Mbeumo (or Hall to Kerkez or both Bournemouth, if we get any GW33 double news on them GW28 (perhaps before)

    2. CONNERS
      • 6 Years
      4 months, 16 days ago

      I'd prioritise the Bou mid, especially if you don't intend on using FH in the blank.

    3. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 10 Years
      4 months, 16 days ago

      Cheers both

  13. Silecro
    • 7 Years
    4 months, 16 days ago

    Is the conservative Gordon>Mbeumo move the correct one here? Leading the ML so im in the "defense mode".
    Also, I am on TC Salah in the current gameweek and not really liking any options for AM25

    Sels
    Gabriel, TAA, Mykolenko
    Salah, Palmer, Kluivert, Gordon
    Wissa, Isak, Gakpo

    Fabianski, Amad, Mazraoui, Robinson
    1ft, 0.8itb

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 months, 16 days ago

      It's the correct one because it will likely get the most points.

      Don't worry about MLs at this stage.

    2. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 months, 16 days ago

      well Brentford away record. There 2nd away win only came against Palace who are not so good at home.

      Brentford 11 2 2 7 13 17 -4 8

      Get a Bornemouth mid (yes another one)

      I wouldnt double up on Brentford, West Ham are looking better.

      Or if Trent is out next week him to Kerkez.

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        4 months, 16 days ago

        Brentford's home and away stats are not very useful.

        They had all easy fixtures at home in the first half which made people start citing these home vs away form stats. Then they played some tough home games vs ARS, LIV, MCY, TOT.

        They got a single draw in those fixtures vs City and lost the rest scoring 3 goals total.

        Brentford are a good team to invest in because they beat the mediocre teams and lose to the good ones. Now is a good run. Investing is probably a good idea.

  14. Saka White Rice

    Aston Villa haven't beaten Wolves or West Ham. Even Ipswich is a risk let alone Liverpool..

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 months, 16 days ago

      shhhh (non AM chip holder here lol)

    2. CONNERS
      • 6 Years
      4 months, 16 days ago

      Their poorer performances have mostly come straight after their CL games in mid-week.

      I'm expecting a comfortable win against Ipswich and a loss against 'Pool, although a draw isn't out of the question.

      I'm 50/50 on using the AM chip on Emery.

      1. Crunchie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 months, 16 days ago

        They have looked tired recently, yes, but here is a list and yes recently that has happened but i am not sure that is always the case.

        Better to ship Bruno or Amad if so who for?

  16. _Ninja_
    • 14 Years
    4 months, 16 days ago

    Best move here? 0.4m, Used Salah TC gw24. Not sure when to use AM

    A. Sarr -> Kluivert (Bench Wood)
    B. TAA -> Robinson, get Slot AM
    C. Both

    Sels
    TAA Gabriel Kerkez
    Salah Palmer Mbuemo Rogers
    Isak Gakpo Wood

    Muric Sarr Myko Hall

    1. CONNERS

      A

    2. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 months, 16 days ago

      A bench Mbeumo (or Palmer or Wood).

      I am not AM this week, don't see the upside.

      1. _Ninja_
        • 14 Years
        4 months, 16 days ago

        Cheers, yeah not sure about AM at all, will prob just wait, maybe take a table gamble late in the season

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          4 months, 16 days ago

          Gotta use a chip in a dgw if you have all /most left

          If you can't TC Salah

          Or BB25

          I'd deffo AM25 on Slot if possible.

          1. _Ninja_
            • 14 Years
            4 months, 16 days ago

            Think if i we get a hint TAA is out i might do it.

            1. AC/DC AFC
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              4 months, 16 days ago

              We've had a strong hint he won't be risked

              But that's for the Everton game

              Unless fully fit

  17. In sane in de bruyne
    • 8 Years
    4 months, 16 days ago

    Thoughts on Gordon -> Kluivert?

    no Villa players at all, but have no FH to play for GW29, and I have 3 Pool, 3 Newcastle, 3 palace already

    Pickford Henderson
    TAA Hall Munoz Robinson Mykolenko
    Salah Palmer Mbeumo Gordon Eze
    Isak Gakpo Wood

    Would bench Eze, or Wood

    1. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      4 months, 16 days ago

      I'm not really keen on selling Gordon this week with the way City defence is just crumbling against a high press at the moment, which Newcastle did so well against Arsenal. Can see them scoring 3 or so, and Gordon has a great record against the top teams this season. I guess Eze is probably fit now(?) but the next 2 aren't great - have you considered offloading him first instead?

      1. In sane in de bruyne
        • 8 Years
        4 months, 16 days ago

        Yeah, I think you're right. If I wanted a Palace attacker for the double, it'd be Mateta anyway. Thanks!

    2. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 months, 16 days ago

      Keep Isak (if money tied up) Salah, and one other.

      I have 3 Palace,2 Newcastle 1 Villa £ Liverpool. SO probably will.

      Raya (Fabs)
      TAA Munoz Hall Castange Mykolenko
      Salah Palmer Mbeumo Sarr Rogers
      Isak Gapko Mateta

      AM/BB/FH

      Thats some TV you have

      I am getting rid of Hall Sarr (maybe Trent) maybe Isak to Watkins, maybe not)

      I assume BB33 is the plan?

      I am loading up on 3 Bournemouth Hall> Kerkez Sarr, Rogers to Kluivert, Dango, I expect.

      I only have 2FT though, so I want to save some FH WC35 for AM.

      How many FT's do you have? . Defo get rid of Hall Gordon and Eze before GW29 for 3 bournemouth.

      Palace score more points away from home by a distance. Then one ofIsak/Gapko TAA/Munoz could go depending o n form, injuries etc I guess. Or even play 9/10 to get the benefit afterwards

      1. In sane in de bruyne
        • 8 Years
        4 months, 16 days ago

        AM is the only chip I still have mate.

        I think i might settle with only 8 or 9 for 29! Only have 1FT

  18. Garlana
    • 10 Years
    4 months, 16 days ago

    Tricky forward line, can't see anyone worth benching if i bring in a Bournemouth player, I guess one option is that I just roll and hope for the best?

    Palmer, Salah, Mbeumo, Rogers
    Wood, Wissa, Isak

    1. Jimmy B
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 months, 16 days ago

      I'd bench Wissa I think for a Bournemouth mid if I already owned but whether its worth the transfer is another matter

    2. In sane in de bruyne

    Exact funds for Diaz to Rashford and Moyes to Slot ...

    How stupid is that?

    1. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      4 months, 16 days ago

      Can't imagine Rashford is rising yet? At least wait to see if he starts in the cup (& looks reasonably fit). I still probably wouldn't do it unless Watkins is ruled out
