      Let's see what Emery says in a couple of hours.

      If we don't get a positive/clear update, it's probably not worth the risk given the schedule.

      Sat - IPS
      Wed - LIV
      Sat - CHE
      Tue - cry

    Watkins??

      Yes. Very reliable.

    Hi Tom, RMT please - I have 1 FT, played TC Salah last week and considering Emery AM this one:

    Sels Dubravka
    Gabriel TAA Robinson Hall Mykolenko
    Salah Palmer Diaz Rogers Amad
    Isak Wood Ndiaye

    Any suggestions on best play here? 2.4M ITB. Am open to a -4 this week.

    Hi Tom

    Where to go from here

    Raya
    Alexander Arnold Robinson Timber
    Kluivert Semenyo Mbuemo Salah Palmer
    Isak Gakpo
    Fab Raul Greaves Veltman
    1 FT Budget 1.3

    Thinking Emery for Assistant Mgr but cant help thinking next 2 weeks are not ideal and unsure of where to go with the chip, perhaps utilise further down the line? All chips bar TC remain so when else best to use?

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Tom’s giving it consideration. Personally, I recommend a course of leeches!

    Hi Guys , moyes out for Emery for a -4 ??

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Hmmmm close one. I fancy Everton against a Crystal Palace that hasn’t scored for two seasons now.

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      What was the initial FT spent on?

      I'd take that as the transfer of the week, and give Moyes one more GW

      Unless you plan to keep Emery for GW26 too

  9. WhatWouldYourZlatanSay
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Bench one of

    A. Wood
    B. Isak
    C. Mateta
    D. Mbeumo

    Currently on A, but did that last time (admittedly unintentionally) and that was the reason I got a red arrow.

    Thoughts very much appreciated.

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      C. Lollygagger.

  10. El Copo
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Would you bench Gordon or Wissa (have Mbeumo)?

    And would you ship Hall for a defender with a better fixture? Can't afford Kerkez so maybe Munoz. Can't see the point of getting a Villa defender.

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Get the 4.4m cherries defender.

  11. CAP
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Wouldn't mind some advice chaps. Have 2FT remaining after Gordon > Kluivert.

    Henderson
    Gabriel, TAA, Mykolenko
    Palmer, Salah (C), Rogers, Amad, Kluivert
    Wood, Isak

    Fab, Ndiaye*, VDB, Burn
    Slot

    A) Roll
    B) Mykolenko > Huijson
    C) Amad > Dango

    Gakpo not involved in team training according to Sky Sports News, who are live there now

      Damn

      Is it that youngster Rupert Murdoch reporting?

      • 13 Years

      As a Diaz owner, I am now hopeful of a 2 pointer instead of 1 in the Wolves game.

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        There is this

    6. ViperStripes
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Maybe jsut maybe Doaz in 3 weeks ago might finally pay off.

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Yep

        Would be hard to sell if he's on the left against Wolves and Jota is down the middle

    7. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      This is news

      Which would make Jota and Diaz more likely against Wolves on Sunday

      Perhaps I don't sell Diaz to Slot after all...

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

    Is bringing Dango in for a -4 worth it with my currently line up?

    Sels
    Timber TAA Huijsen
    Rogers Salah Palmer Mbumeo*
    Gakpo* Wood Isak

    Fabianski Amad Robinson Burgess

    * I would probably bench Mbuemo or Gapko (if injured) for him.

    Thoughts appreciated.

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

      Bring him in for Amad***

  14. Sharkytect
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    I'm in the fortunate position of having 3FTs and have 3xliverpool and 2xVilla. I don't want anymore Villa.

    I'm considering buying a Bournemouth midfielder as my 8th attacker. But- do you think it's worth spending the transfer when it means I'll be benching either Amad (tot) or isak (mci)?

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Not if you bench Isak.

      1. Sharkytect
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        So...bench amad?
        Have you seen spurs' defending?

    2. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Nope

      1. Sharkytect
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        So...I'd have 4FTs next week! Almost like having a wildcard!

        1. The Knights Template
          • 12 Years
          1 year, 3 months ago

          Superb play. Very envious.

  15. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    So Arsenal attacking line-up will be...

    Sterling Trossard Nwaneri

    Is that correct?

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Eewwwww!

    2. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Wout Faes back on the menu!

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Do they have any promising youngsters they can promote further?

        There were loads coming through a season back, did they all get sold on?

  16. pablo discobar
    • 16 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Would anyone activate as manager now on slot/emery or hold off until gw 36? Cheers

    1. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Hold apparently

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      If 36 is the big double would you be playing BB36?

      Otherwise AM now, in gw30 or gw36.

      I don't advocate leaving it so late.

      1. pablo discobar
        • 16 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Thanks for replies. Tempted to activate but not sure of route in 26/27.

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          1 year, 3 months ago

          There's always opportunities

          Man City or Newcastle could be a table bonus next week.

          Or punt on Leicester to beat or draw at home to Brentford next Friday night.

    3. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Is 37 a big dgw?

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        No

        It could be small one or even a small blank

        Apparently, according to the spreadsheets and tea leaves.

        1. The Knights Template
          • 12 Years
          1 year, 3 months ago

          I’d be getting AM chip out of the way personally, big hindrance later on.

  17. the dom 1

    What time will we get an update from Slot on Gakpo?

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      He's done it

      Article on Team News

      A knock and a doubt for Sunday

      Probably be okay but who knows?

    2. FFS ManU
      • 3 Years

      Not from Slot, but see above.

      1. FFS ManU

        Oops, and now he has. 🙂

  18. GoonerByron
    • 14 Years

    Better move here?

    A) Murphy -> Nwaneri, Havertz bench + Amad starts

    B) Havertz -> Wissa , Murphy bench + Amad starts

    C) Murphy + Havertz -> Nwaneri + Wissa (-4), Amad bench

    1. The Knights Template

      B

  19. Mr. O'Connell

    For the next 5 gameweeks need to bench 1

    Bruno
    Semenyo
    Wissa
    Mateta

    Good to go here then?

    Pickford
    TRENT DIGNE Timber
    SALAH(c) ROGERS(v) Palmer Mbeumo Dango
    Isak Raul

    Fabianski | Williams, Keane, Jackson** | Slot (2 more GWs)

    1FT. 2.5 ITB

    Future plans:
    GW25: Maybe getting Cunha
    BGW29: Saving FH. Plan to sell Jackson, Raul, Digne, Keane and TAA/Rogers by then
    GW30: Not planning to WC but could change my mind

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Easily

    2. The Knights Template

          Onanism does not require consent, go for it!

  21. WhatWouldYourZlatanSay
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Defence is Konate-Digne-Robinson

    Is it worth doing Hall (on bench) > Kerkez/Munoz and starting him or just roll?

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Tibollom? Is that you?

      1. WhatWouldYourZlatanSay
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Alas, perhaps fortunately, no.

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years

      Yeah, Kerkez or Huijsen

  22. Bowser86

    1. The Knights Template

      Yes

  24. carlosice
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    On the assumption we get a positive update from Emery.

    Is Isak to Watkins for Free the right move?

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years

      Superb

  25. JoeSoap

  26. Dutchy FPL
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    What would you do with the Gakpo situation? 0FT, 0.0 itb. Just hope for the best? At least he will get the Villa game, so a -4 seems a bit to much.

    Salah - Palmer - Bruno - Rogers
    Wood - Gakpo - Isak
    AM Emery

    Bench: Enzo, Mykolenko, Hall

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Have you done the Emery switch?

      Ditch Gakpo to AM Slot is another option for dgw points.

      1. Dutchy FPL
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Yeah did Moyes to Emery. Downgrade Gakpo to get Slot means a -8. And I prefer Emery over Slot personally. Watkins and Darwin are the only DGW attackers I could get, so I will sit this one out and hope for the best

  27. 1justlookin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Gakpo owners, thoughts on selling him.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      To Jota?

      1. FFS ManU
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Gakpo is a FPL forward this season.

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          1 year, 3 months ago

          Ouch

          There's me thinking Jota was too

    2. Dutchy FPL
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Only if you can do two FT's to get another DGW player. Gakpo is likely to play against Villa, so I don't really see the upside for a transfer to another single gameweek player

    3. shredder
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      I'm keeping and using transfer to ship out Ndiaye

  28. marpy016
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Start Aina or Robinson?

  29. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    I'm on Moyes with 1 FT, only 0.2m itb

    Is Moyes to Potter at home to Brentford the play for the table bonus now?

    Exactly 5 places apart.

    That means I keep 3 Liverpool in my team. Konate, Salah, Diaz.

    Maybe a hit for 1 Villa player too.

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Go for it, yes.

    2. Manchego
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      If I hadn't already gone Emery, I'd be weighing it up. I'd missed Potter as an option, forgetting how tight the table is.
      Like you say, you keep your 3 Liverpool, take a punt on West Ham and can get a Villa player so you're still in on the double. Go Team Diaz.

  30. Manchego
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Gakpo out of action... Luis Diaz, this is your week

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Maybe

      Just maybe

      Makes selling ahead of Wolves for Slot harder

      But the game is Sunday so could Gakpo recover by tomorrow?
