      I have Amad, Ndiaye injured plus Salah/Trent/Isak/Watkins who blank in 29. I have only 1 free transfer (and 0.9 in the bank), meaning each transfer I make should be on point in order to field 11 players in 29 without playing the free hit.
      How would you proceed ? Amad to Nwaneri/Dango, Ndiaye to Wissa are a couple of options. I need to sell either Amad or Ndiaye this week, else I'll have to play with 4 at the back.

        Do you not have a WC left?

        Amad for Nwaneri is a good move although Nwaneri will get less minutes either side of the CL matches.

            Yes, I do.
            Thanks, maybe Dango is a safer choice then?

        Gakpo not in the squad

          If only I had 0.3 extra... was ready to pull the trigger on him to Watkins for -4

          How do you know that tweet means not in squad vs. not in XI.

              Who on Earth is "FPL Leaks Mido?" - and why do you trust them?

                (Even if they are right here BTW. Bad reasoning for trusting.)

                The "TeamNewsFPL" guy first commented underneath that he was "out". And now he has removed it... f***ng leakers

                  "TeamNewsFPL" is a complete nobody too by the way. Pick your sources better...

                    Feels like all the reliable leakers now have a "onlyfans" subscription.

                    Or just wait an extra 30 minutes or so for the official lineup. Not sure why there's an obsession with posting 'leaks' when the deadline is passed and there's nothing that we can do with the news anyway.

                      I mean in terms of a "source". It's like tuning into GBNews and believing what they say.

        Hall to Kerkez
        Rogers to Dango or Kluivert.

        Have only 1 FT.

        Think I will go with the first, rate Rogers vs Chelsea

        No Gakpo, not even on bench

        Definitely no Cody 🙁

        Ffs and Wood benched ffs

          2 months, 17 hours ago

          If Gakpo misses Villa too. (It sounds like he's potentially a doubt for that), then you get Wood-infused jam.

          Who did you play? Gakpo?

          1. Kaneyonero
            • 8 Years

            Yup

              • 15 Years
              2 months, 17 hours ago

              Even if Gakpo played, it's a 1-2 pointer. More chance to haul vs Villa or be saved for City.

            What? Gakpo got 7p across in a dgw and now injured.

        2. JBG

          Salah, Gakpo and Slot owner here

          Got both & definitely don't feel lucky at all. That Everton match has screwed me over. Wissa on bench for his massive 2pts if Gakpo misses Villa.

        Excellent news with TAA Allison Salah

        Allison my Slot "cover" to continue to make a Mickey if AM slot

          Cunha to get a goal

        2. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          2 months, 17 hours ago

          ... isn't Slot 5 points ahead of Alisson since GW24?

          ... and if Liverpool win, Slot likely outscore Alisson again?

          ... and if that win, or less than a win includes a clean sheet loss, potential for even more of a difference?

          1. Nightcrawler
            • 5 Years
            2 months, 17 hours ago

            It's one keeper Vs an entire chip. That's why playing am on a team u might otherwise triple up on is a bit counter productive. Liverpool essentialy need to win without cleanie to make it work, something they've yet to achieve in these dgws

            1. Hazz
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years
              2 months, 17 hours ago

              It's 2/5th of a chip and you're already 5 points behind, with the gap set to increase.

              If it wasn't for Everton's last minute equaliser you'd be even more behind.

              Saying its "taking the mickey" serves nothing but to make yourself feel better about yourself and out down others.

              But that's sort of your thing, so not like it's fooling anyone!

              1. Nightcrawler
                • 5 Years
                2 months, 16 hours ago

                Just stickingnumbers to argue my point. Certainly not bothered if anyone feels the need to have a go at me personally which u always seem to want to do

                Haaland TC got a 6 point edge of cappers in week 8 or whatever it was doesn't make it a success

                1. Nightcrawler
                  • 5 Years
                  2 months, 16 hours ago

                  Btw taking the Mickey is having a go at a chip. If anyone feels like they're being out down by that there are other issues I'm not responsible for

      18. g40steve

        2 points Robinson then for Gakpo 🙁

        1. JBG
          • 6 Years
          2 months, 17 hours ago

          Probably plays next match

          Still got bench appearance to dodge vs Villa.

        3. Tonyawesome69
          • 6 Years
          2 months, 17 hours ago

          You still have the Villa v Liverpool game to go

      19. CoracAld2831
        • 4 Years
        2 months, 17 hours ago

        Gakpo no show

        Very likely to start vs Villa?

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          2 months, 17 hours ago

          Unsubstantiated rumours that he may be a doubt for Villa game too.

          1. CoracAld2831
            • 4 Years
            2 months, 17 hours ago

            He is a priority sell then.

        2. CoracAld2831
          • 4 Years
          2 months, 17 hours ago

          This confirms that Gakpo is an immediate sell after this GW.

          He probably was anyway.

          1. Hazz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            2 months, 17 hours ago

            It's not if your squad is setup well. E.g. My front 8:

            Salah Palmer Mbeumo Kluivert Rogers
            Isak Wood (Gakpo)

            Can bench Gakpo (as Cunha vs. WOL & Marmoush vs. MCI are tough) - sell Rogers for Dango as planned.

            Slightly better fixtures in GW27, or even later - if required. Rest of front 8 all good enough to cover it.

            1. CoracAld2831
              • 4 Years
              2 months, 17 hours ago

              I was looking to sell him anyway before GW29 tbh. This just confirms it.

              To either Wissa or Cunha.

      20. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 months, 17 hours ago

        Opting out of Wood to Gakpo before GW23 is looking like a good move despite the 16 pointer in GW23

        Wood 28 points from 3 fixtures (and 2FTs saved)
        Gakpo 23 points from 4 fixtures (with maybe 1 to play)

        It would have been for a hot for me as well.

        Gakpo to Watkins and Slot for Moyes could work after all. Need a Liverpool win

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years

          Popular moves given the alternative. Moyes 8 pointer was a bit of a surprise.

          1. DA Minnion (Former great)
            • 12 Years
            2 months, 17 hours ago

            Yeah Everton are an enigma .
            Moyes has galvanised them immeasurably notes the last few weeks.

        2 months, 17 hours ago

        I’m a bit out of touch on this - so Slot got a red card and no points for first game of the double?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years
          2 months, 17 hours ago

          Red card means nothing for FPL.

          1. Powers106
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            2 months, 17 hours ago

            It should maybe? I don’t have my AM card active but didn’t someone comment he is sitting in the stands? If so how should he be able to earn points? Maybe that was unexpected and will get tweaked?

            1. TorresMagic™
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 15 Years
              2 months, 17 hours ago

              It's a team chip.

              1. Powers106

                2 months, 17 hours ago

                Seems wrong - when a player gets a red card he’s out. When a player is transferred he’s out. Why call it Assistant Manager chip if it should say Team Chip since none of the actions of the AM matter: YC, RC, SACKED = still all the points? Seems like a correction is needed

            2. Noé Pamarot
              • 6 Years
              2 months, 17 hours ago

              Yes, as above it is "manager" in name only. The points are solely linked to how the team does, not the individual.

          The Chips section of https://fantasy.premierleague.com/help says:
          "Do managers receive minus points for Yellow or Red Cards?
          No, managers will not be penalised for receiving a card in FPL."

          "Will managers still score points if they are serving a touchline ban or suspension?
          Yes, the manager will still receive points despite serving a touchline ban, suspension or being absent from the game."

          "What happens if my chosen manager leaves the club?
          A 'placeholder' manager will take the place of the previous manager’s club, allowing you to still score points as if that manager was at the club. Once a new manager is appointed, they will replace the placeholder."

          Drats

          Agreed. I knew it was likely based on what they were saying, but still find myself disappointed with the Gakpo no show. Convinced myself it was the right call to stick with him and go Emery AM (good lord...), rather than change to Wissa and Slot. Rank takes a hit now with no TC, Diaz, Alisson etc like many others have. Highs and lows in this game!

        Mitoma might be a nice differential. Anyone considering him?

          Only in Draft.

            Think I might get him for Rogers.

        No British players in the Wolves starting 11.
        Not good for the future.
        If the rules insist on representation then the British tax increases.
        No win situation.

          I think Liverpool managed it at Plymouth Argyle, no English players rather than British for the first time ever.

          Mind, they ended up with 7 or 8 internationals on the pitch and still lost.

            Not the Plymouth game because Elliot started, but a game recently with no Trent or Bradley etc.

            There have been others. Not that one though.
            I think the message is the same for any side.
            And I am in South Africa so I should have no concerns.
            People want an identity and it seems to be dissipating throughout.
            Not so sure where you come from should run the ideology though.

        Fpl creators need to look at Am chip again if they're going to persist with it. Need to introduce points deductions for yellow /red cards /goals conceded/suspensions etc same as other players. Makes more sense.

        1. Nightcrawler
          • 5 Years
          2 months, 17 hours ago

          That or just change the name to team chip

        2. Merlin the Wraith
          • 8 Years

          Or just get rid.

            This option would work best,

            Seconded just another ploy getting in the way.

          Like the chip overall but some way they can make it better imo

          - AM should not take up one of 3 team spots
          - changing managers should not cost transfers, at least in the same week before the deadline
          - red cards/yellows shd count towards the manager

          It feels liked it's not hit the mark. It didn't help introducing it halfway through the season. Major changes needed or ideally binning off

            Bin. You couldn't have it active in 1st 10 games of season anyway, the 5 place bonus scheme would be chaotic with league positions bouncing around early on. Tried/failed/delete bin verdict.
