    Gakpo -> Watkins?

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      Nah

      It's a punt

      I'd rather get Jota I think.

  2. The Iceman
    • 3 Years
    9 months, 24 days ago

    With the news Gakpo is now a doubt, would you:

    A) Start Gakpo
    B) Start Amad
    C) Sell Gakpo for a -4 (have Wood and Isak)

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      A

      But you'd rather have Gakpo home to Wolves than away at Villa

      Tough

      A bit of a crunch decision required

      1. The Iceman
        • 3 Years
        9 months, 24 days ago

        Agreed. Think it’s best if I just hold and assess next week rather than do anything rash tbh.

    Trent > VVD? or just play trent? (-4)

    1. The Iceman
      • 3 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      Play Trent.

  4. tuturututu
    • 4 Years
    9 months, 24 days ago

    Who would you start this gw in draft?

    A) Kudus
    B) Rutter

    1. The Iceman
      • 3 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      Kudus.

      1. tuturututu
        • 4 Years
        9 months, 24 days ago

        Have a dilemma because of Graham Potter, probably the worst manager in PL. That's why I'm believing more in Rutter vs Chelsea than Kudus vs Brentford lol

        1. The Iceman
          • 3 Years
          9 months, 24 days ago

          Brentford not very good away and Kudus is a better player IMO but I see your point.

  5. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    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.

    It's looking pretty appealing tbf.

    A table bonus win would beat Emery with a win and a loss easily I think.

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      Stick with Moyes? That predicted Arsenal front line will struggle and Everton playing well - the table bonus is there without using the transfer.....

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 7 Years
        9 months, 24 days ago

        Everton face Palace and Man U next

        1. Biggsy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 months, 24 days ago

          The problem of being here and "working"..... I even made a joke on the last page that the Arsenal front line implies Leicester defenders are worthwhile so no idea wtf I was thinking when I wrote the above....

    2. The Iceman
      • 3 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      Possibly, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Brentford win. Wissa and Mbeumo on the break vs West Ham’s slow defence is asking for trouble.

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 months, 24 days ago

        West Ham at home to Brentford should be a fair chance of a positive home result for AM...

        They are slight favourites from what I can see

  6. tuturututu
    • 4 Years
    9 months, 24 days ago

    People here going crazy about Gakpo, Arne said they'll see today it is a knock and he's a doubt, he's no lost for the season for so many of you to sell immediately lol

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      There's an update

      Sky News reporting he's not been seen fit enough to train today with the squad today

      1. tuturututu
        • 4 Years
        9 months, 24 days ago

        Ok but still, its DGW and Gakpo has been one of the most in form players this season on FPL. Surely it would be crazy to sell him now? No clear Liverpool sub for him as Jota and Darwin will split minutes and if Cody is injured he'll probably be back for Villa

      2. The Iceman
        • 3 Years
        9 months, 24 days ago

        Not sure if there is a Saturday session to come as it’s a Sunday kick off? Tonight’s deadline means we won’t get any further updates however.

        1. Ze_Austin
          • 7 Years
          9 months, 24 days ago

          Yup. Could be a rest day to let his ankle fully heal

    Hi Tom,

    My current set up is:

    Sels-Fabianski
    TAA-Gabriel-Munoz-Robinson-O'Shea
    Palmer-Salah-Gordon-Sarr-Winks
    Isak-Gakpo-Wood

    2FT 0.0 ITB

    Feel like I really need to sort out my midfield. Any recommendations?

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years

      Tom’s somewhere around here I’m sure, perhaps behind the sofa?

  8. The Knights Template

    Guardiola blaming the players, outstanding management! Always blame the players!

    1. Qaiss

      Klopp >

    2. tuturututu
      • 4 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      He lost it this season completely

    3. The Iceman
      • 3 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      It’s a bad look for him. His first real sign of adversity and he can’t seem to find a solution.

  9. Nightf0x
    • 10 Years
    9 months, 24 days ago

    Which in each ?

    A) start timber or munoz (have gabriel)
    B) bench 1 of gakpo wood palmer
    C) gakpo to watkins/wissa or no (have mbeumo rogers)

    1. The Iceman
      • 3 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      Muñoz (spread the risk).
      Bench Wood.
      Keep.

    a. gakpo
    b. watkins

    1. The Iceman

      B as Gakpo is now a doubt.

      1. bruik
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 months, 24 days ago

        As is Watkins, for now

  11. myteamissheeeeeeeet
    • 15 Years
    9 months, 24 days ago

    Play Amad or Gordon please?

    1. The Iceman
      • 3 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      Gordon.

  12. Dibber
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 1 Year
    9 months, 24 days ago

    Currently looking to play (for Mids and FWDs):
    Mbeumo, Rogers, Palmer, Salah, Kluivert
    Wood, Gakpo

    Bench: Isak

    With the Gakpo news:
    A) Do nothing
    B) Gakpo out for Isak
    C) something else

    Thanks

    £0.6m ITB & 2FT

    Henderson
    TAA Konsa* Gabriel
    Palmer Amad Bruno Salah
    Wood Isak Gakpo*

    Subs: Valdimarsson, Mykolenko, Burn*, Enzo

    Waiting on Watkins but thinking:

    A. Keep Gakpo, Amad > Outarra
    B. Watkins fit do Gakpo & Amad > Watkins & Nwanweri
    C. Roll for the week

    Still got all chips no idea when to play assistant manager

    1. The Iceman
      • 3 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      Honestly all of those are valid options. C is probably the most sensible.

  14. Ray Kinsella
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    If you were playing AM chip this week, who'd you play it on (given it can be swapped next week??)

    1. Dutchy FPL
      • 2 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      Emery for me. One 'easy' game and one potential table bonus game. Just like Moyes last week.

      1. Ray Kinsella
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 months, 24 days ago

        Thanks. Tempted...

    2. Lord of Ings
      • 10 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      Emery.
      Thing is Villa are quite strong at home and even if Emery gets a draw it’s quite a big swing there
      With Slot you kinda need 2 Ws on the board otherwise you’ll be down 7-10 pts

  15. FPLGazman
    • 3 Years

    Hi Tom,

    Start Amad or JP? Thanks

    1. The Iceman
      • 3 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      Amad.

  16. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…
    • 10 Years
    9 months, 24 days ago

    Gakpo, Gordon > Watkins, Kluivert?

    front 8
    Salah, Mbeumo, Palmer, Rogers
    Isak, Wood, Gakpo

    1. The Iceman
      • 3 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      If Watkins is confirmed fully fit I would be mighty tempted with these moves.

        Yeah transfers rest on this

    2. Camzy

      I like it.

  17. jonnybhoy
    • 13 Years
    9 months, 24 days ago

    With Gakpo not in training I'm tempted to sell and bring in Slot.

    So, I have 3x Liverpool, no Villa and AM Moyes active. 0.6 ITB and 1FT

    Pickford
    TAA Robinson Mykolenko
    Palmer Salah Gordon Mbuemo
    Mateta Gakpo Isak

    Fab Enzo Mazaroui VDB

    A) Moyes to Slot and Gakpo to Wissa/Wood (up to 7.1m) -4pts
    B) Moyes to Emery
    C) Moyes to Emery and Gordon to Rogers -4pts
    D) Something else

    1. The Iceman
      • 3 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      B or D (nothing).

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      I'd do a -8.

      Moyes > Slot
      Gakpo > Wissa
      Gordon > Rogers

      1. jonnybhoy
        • 13 Years
        9 months, 24 days ago

        I was thinking this, just trying to weigh up the last transfer as need to get rid of Rogers before GW29

  18. TSN
    • 8 Years
    9 months, 24 days ago

    start:

    A. Wissa (whu)
    B. Eze (EVE)

    Cheers

    1. The Iceman
      • 3 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      A

  19. Lav
    • 9 Years
    9 months, 24 days ago

    Start:

    1. Mbeumo - WHU (A)
    2. Wood - FUL (A)

    1. The Iceman
      • 3 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      B

  20. have you seen cyan
    • 6 Years
    9 months, 24 days ago

    I think Emery will outscore Moyes. Emery might get 5/6 goals across these 2 games alone.

    If they beat Pool. Emery will be on like 35 points or something.

    1. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 8 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      I’m worried about Villa defensive injuries, though.

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years
        9 months, 24 days ago

        Yea. I doubt a CS in either.

    2. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      32 is the max with six goals and 2 clean sheets

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years
        9 months, 24 days ago

        Ah ok thanks.

  21. Conners
    • 6 Years
    9 months, 24 days ago

    Given the Gakpo news, would you start Wood ahead of him?

    If he's not 100%, I don't see why Slot would risk playing him in a home game against a bottom-half side with Jota, Diaz and Nunez available.

    He could end up getting just 60 odd mins away at Villa.

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      Think I'd play Wood if he is a doubt.

  22. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 8 Years
    9 months, 24 days ago

    Gakpo apparently not seen in training, hmmm. Villa decimated by injuries at the back.

    Think I may go Moyes > Slot, Gakpo > Watkins as originally intended. Thoughts?

      Is Watkins fit? Yes if he is.

      Gakpo knock could be a blessing in disguise for people with 3 pool players. Thinking Gakpo Moyes > wissa slot for a hit. Feel slot will easily outscore emery in the dgw.

  23. Big W

    A) Robinson
    B) Mykolenko

  24. Mufc202020

  25. Steve Stiffler
    • 9 Years

    Hi all, on AM slot pray he outscores the Salah TC that was I was going to do.

    What’s the combination to start this week:

    A) Wissa (both West Ham away)
    B) Mbeumo

    1) Fabianski (Brentford home)
    2) Sels (Fulham away) (also starting Aina)

    Thanks

  26. Lord of Ings
    • 10 Years
    9 months, 24 days ago

    Think Gakpo is still an okay hold.. he’ll get around 100 minutes for the week, is it really worth transferring to Watkins for a hit? Villa aren’t exactly airtight at the back but no wolves at home is quite a bummer (still could get 20-30 minutes if lucky enough)

    1. tuturututu
      • 4 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      My thoughts exactly

    2. Conners
      • 6 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      With respect, I'm not sure he will get 100 mins.

      Liverpool have a busy schedule coming up, so I don't see why they'd risk him in a home fixture against a bottom-half side.

      It seems the obvious fixture to rest him, especially if he's not 100%.

      1. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        9 months, 24 days ago

        Agreed. If any doubt I'd imagine he'll miss the first game completely and play 30-60 next.

  27. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years
    9 months, 24 days ago

    Is Watkins (if fit) worth it? Are people getting him for one week only? Fixtures aren't great....

  28. Biggsy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 months, 24 days ago

    Hall to Kerkez and bench Robinson? Other two playing defenders are Trent and Munoz

    Likely losing Hall to navigate BGW29 anyway, so feels a good time to do it.

  29. Sharkytect
    • 11 Years

    Apologies for the lazy question, everyone, but when are the big dgws expected?

    I have all my chips available and just wondering if I should trigger my AM chip now so it doesn't block later DGWs. If gw36 is "the big one" then I'll do my AM chip now
