    Anybody getting Marmoush in?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 8 Years
      2 months, 8 days ago

      I was interested but thought he would have been registered as a midfielder, less interested as a forward

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 months, 8 days ago

        Same

        1. Gazwaz80
          • 5 Years
          2 months, 8 days ago

          I should have asked this question before I put him in yesterday 😀

          1. Nomar

            2 months, 8 days ago

            Don’t fret mate. Give it two weeks and everyone telling you to hang fire on the move will be crawling over each other to get him in and telling everyone to do the same.

              Haha, cheers NOMAR. Here’s hoping 😀

      Maybe. Could have two City forwards in BGW29 and GW30.

      1. Andy_Social
        • 12 Years
        2 months, 8 days ago

        Might if Gakpo's injury runs into next GW

    3. The Iceman
      • 2 Years
      2 months, 8 days ago

      Don't like the fixtures just yet.

      1. Gazwaz80
        • 5 Years
        2 months, 8 days ago

        Had Jackson so has to get rid before price stop and Marmoush’s price rise..

        1. Gazwaz80
          • 5 Years
          2 months, 8 days ago

          Drop

  2. Miguel Sanchez
    • 8 Years
    2 months, 8 days ago

    Which combo score more next GW you think?

    A) Arteta (WHU) and Rogers (CHE)

    B) Slot (mci) and Nwaneri (WHU)

      A

    Gakpo autosubs looking more likely now...

    Paul Joyce reporting for The Times:

    ‘[Luis Diaz] was redeployed back on the left flank because of the ankle injury to Cody Gakpo, which is set to rule him out of the Villa game, and looked more comfortable than when utilised as a No9.’

      Please give me my Wood jam off the bench!
      My poor management and keeping Gakpo is a different story...

      1. The Iceman
        • 2 Years
        2 months, 8 days ago

        We all deserve a bit of jam off the bench now and then 🙂

    2. JoeSoap
      • 11 Years
      2 months, 8 days ago

      Not doing Gakpo>Wood & Slot AM could hurt even more. At least I have Pedro 1 point coming off the bench.

    3. Esraj
      • 9 Years
      2 months, 8 days ago

      I have Amad on my bench.

    Hi guys,

    Pickford
    Gabriel TAA Milenkovic
    Salah Palmer Bruno Rogers
    Wood Isak Wissa

    SLOT AM

    Myko Van den Berg Dibling

    2 FTs and 0.2 ITB

    Do these transfers seem wise;
    Bruno & Rogers to Kluivert & Mbeumo

    Thanks!

    1. The Iceman
      • 2 Years
      2 months, 8 days ago

      Definitely!

  5. Silecro
    • 7 Years
    2 months, 8 days ago

    Any other managers who just recently pressed AM Emery, what are your plans for next two?
    Pereira/Wolves seem like a good shout, with two table bonuses. Anyone interested?
    I am leading in my ML but feel like im stuck with Emery AM and need to compensate somehow for his bad return vs IPS

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 months, 8 days ago

      After that performance yesterday, I am

  6. v3n0m
    • 4 Years
    2 months, 8 days ago

    2FT:
    A) Rogers -> Dango
    B) Bruno + 4.4 -> Kluivert + Marmoush

    1. Atimis
      • 8 Years
      2 months, 8 days ago

      Could go Rogers Bruno to Dango Kluivert

    2. The Iceman
      • 2 Years
      2 months, 8 days ago

      B

  7. Sterling Archer
    • 8 Years
    2 months, 8 days ago

    could really do with these Chris wood bench points, Gakpo 10 minute appearance and a yellow card confirmed

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 months, 8 days ago

      It's looking good for you 🙂

      Meh, all I got is Boomer's 3

      1. St Pauli Walnuts

      In the same boat mate

  8. Klip Klopp

    • 9 Years
    2 months, 8 days ago

    Any skilled heads out there that can help me navigate the next few weeks?

    Sels
    Gabriel / Robinson / TAA
    Rodgers / Palmer / Salah / Diaz
    Isak / Mateta / Wood

    Bench: Fabianski, Catasgne, Myko, Dibling

    I've got BB, Wildcard, Freehit and all of my AM chips left (which i still don't fully understand)

    Any help would be appreciated!

    1. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 months, 8 days ago

      I'd build for GW29 for now (you already have 8 for that GW and at least 4FTs to use before that GW)

      Then depends on who makes the FA Cup semi's. If Newcastle make it that far I'm thinking. WC30 (with plenty of players likely to DGW33 in the squad), then AM Howe GW31 for back to back doubles (GW32 &GW33), FH34, then BB GW36 which is also likely to be a DGW. If you don't need to WC30, you could use WC in GW35 to set up that BB.

      If Newcastle aren't likely to double GW33 I will BB that GW, and use AM in GW36, or GW36 which mat be a DGW.

      1. Klip Klopp
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 months, 8 days ago

        Thanks man, very helpful advice! So we can play the AM chip 4 times? But a double still counts as 1 time?

        1. The Iceman
          • 2 Years
          2 months, 8 days ago

          AM chips lasts for 3 consecutive GWs - so if you pair it with a DGW you get more games and consequently more chances at points. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong 🙂

          1. bitm2007
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            2 months, 8 days ago

            Your correct

        2. bitm2007
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          2 months, 8 days ago

          Just once but if covers 3 GWs. So playing it on Howe in GW31 would get you Newcastle's fixture that GW (lei) and in DGW32 (MUN, CRY), as well as GW33 which is likely to be another DGW (avl, IPS) if Newcastle make the cup semi's. So potentially the chance of assistant manager points for 5 fixtures instead of 3 if played in SGWs.

        Needed this as much as the OP. Cheers.

          thanks for the help mate

  9. Gazwaz80
    • 5 Years
    2 months, 8 days ago

    Could really do with my Lewis (dont ask) 6 points for a Gakpo no show…

    1. Gazwaz80
      • 5 Years
      2 months, 8 days ago

      Haha, just seen the posts above also 😀

  10. Gazwaz80

    Hi Rupe, how many cameo appearances did you make on the F/F podcast? I remember seeing you once and you were really good…

    Any love for a Glasner table bonus game away at Fulham? Think I'd prefer Palace away to Fulham over Wolves away to Bournemouth if I was to chase table bonus points

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 months, 8 days ago

      Yeah it's looking like it'll be Glasner for me bar a Villa upset of Liverpool.

    2. Cojones of Destiny
      • 7 Years
      2 months, 8 days ago

      what’s his price ?

    3. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 months, 8 days ago

      I think it's quite the punt

      You'd think Fulham would win at home but it's possibly the best bet for table bonus

      Barring Wolves turning it on at Bournemouth

      Perhaps just play it safe with Arteta?

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 months, 8 days ago

        I'd rather hold Slot than switch to Arteta.

  12. FPL Sanky
    • 1 Year
    2 months, 8 days ago

    People getting the jammy Wood points because of Gakpo is soo annoying....I never get this luxury with my team

    1. Fitzy.
      • 13 Years
      2 months, 8 days ago

      Sounds like poor management

      1. FPL Sanky
        • 1 Year
        2 months, 8 days ago

        I wouldn't call my strategy as poor management....those who get jammy points can be considered as poor management as they are getting points just because of pure luck even though they don't deserve those points

    2. The Iceman
      • 2 Years
      2 months, 8 days ago

      I hear you. Any time I've benched Robinson this season he seems to have hauled - except this week of course! 😀

    3. Qaiss
      • 9 Years
      2 months, 8 days ago

      Gakpo would have hauled yesterday if he started, so this isn’t so fair

      I agree it’s annoying

      However, set to miss and out, are two different statements. Pauljoyce said “set to miss”. So let’s just see tomorrow

  13. g40steve
    • 7 Years
    2 months, 8 days ago

    Gakpo & Ndiaye duds need to go, who comes in first.

    Replacements - Cunha, Beto, Wood, Marmoush?

    1. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…
      • 10 Years
      2 months, 8 days ago

      Wood ticks along very nicely
      Marmoush as a differential

    2. Jimmy B
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 months, 8 days ago

      Marmoush might still be just a bit knee jerky. I need more time on him personally. Wood and Cunha proven assets.

    3. The Iceman
      • 2 Years
      2 months, 8 days ago

      Cunha and Wood - both nailed for 90 minutes, on penalties and reliable.

  14. Karan14
    • 9 Years
    2 months, 8 days ago

    Pickford
    TAA Gabriel Timber
    Salah Palmer Mbuemo Rogers Dango
    Isak Wood
    (Slot)

    (Fab Pedro Greaves Dunk)
    2FT & 0.6m

    A) Slot > Arteta
    B) Slot, Rogers > Arteta & Kluivert/Semenyo
    C) Slot > Glasner
    D) Slot, Rogers > Glasner & Kluivert/Semenyo
    E) Slot, Pedro > Glasner & Cunha

    Appreciate your thoughts!

    1. The Iceman
      • 2 Years
      2 months, 8 days ago

      B looks like it has the highest ceiling mate.

    2. Cojones of Destiny
      • 7 Years
      2 months, 8 days ago

      B or D

    3. waltzingmatildas
      • 14 Years
      2 months, 8 days ago

      I quite like E.
      Possibly even worth a hit to do Slot, Rogers, Pedro to a manager, Bou mid, Cunha?

  15. The Iceman
    • 2 Years
    2 months, 8 days ago

    Afternoon all. Is the bench order correct and is anything here worth a hit?

    Pickford
    Gabriel | Robinson | Kerkez
    Salah | Palmer | Mbeumo | Rogers | Dango
    Isak | Wood

    SUBS: Sels | Gakpo* | TAA | Hall

    1. No Kane No Gain
      • 6 Years
      2 months, 8 days ago

      No hit, looks good. All your starters have strong cases

  16. Philosopher's Stones
    • 4 Years
    2 months, 8 days ago

    Good afternoon ladies, gents, those in-between and the mighty mods. I'm back from the big freeze and will be available to help solve the debacles and try run this place in a fun way as much as possible. Oh, and also looking at Sarr -> Nwaneri as my next move. Cheers.

  17. waltzingmatildas
    • 14 Years
    2 months, 8 days ago

    What do you think of these moves?
    Rogers, Martinelli, Gakpo to
    Nwaneri, Dango, Cunha
    Seems knee jerk but I had the 2nd and 3rd moves planned for last week but didn't pull the trigger. Seems to set me up well for 29?

    1. Atimis
      • 8 Years
      2 months, 8 days ago

      Nwa as 8th attacker?

      1. waltzingmatildas
        • 14 Years
        2 months, 8 days ago

        No I'd have a benching headache every week!

    2. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 months, 8 days ago

      Yeah go for it, nothing wrong / kneejerk about those moves imo

      1. waltzingmatildas
        • 14 Years
        2 months, 8 days ago

        Cheers!

  18. Ruinenlust
    • 7 Years
    2 months, 8 days ago

    Play Trent (mci) or Hall (NFO)?

    1. waltzingmatildas
      • 14 Years
      2 months, 8 days ago

      Hall

    2. Atimis
      • 8 Years
      2 months, 8 days ago

      Shouldn't be a question imo, Trent

    3. Last orders
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 months, 8 days ago

      Im Trent V Veltman at the moment leaning Veltman, so going to go with Hall

    4. Funkyav
      • 15 Years
      2 months, 8 days ago

      if you own trent you play every game imo

    5. Chinese_person
      • 13 Years
      2 months, 8 days ago

      Don't bench your premium players. He costs that price for a reason and it isn't to be sitting on your bench, no matter who the opposition.

    6. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 months, 8 days ago

      I'm never benching Trent. Playing both atm.

  19. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 12 Years
    2 months, 8 days ago

    What about slot to mc Kenna.
    An Ipswich win would be worth at least 18 points.

    1. No Kane No Gain
      • 6 Years
      2 months, 8 days ago

      Too risky. Spurs league form has picked up

      1. xuwei
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 months, 8 days ago

        I’m tempted - it’s Spurs, there is no form.

    2. MarcusAurelius
      • 9 Years
      2 months, 8 days ago

      Very tempting. I can see Ipswich getting a result

  20. MarcusAurelius
    • 9 Years
    2 months, 8 days ago

    I’m currently on Slot AM and would have to take a hit to bring someone else in. Worth bringing in someone for a hit or just stick with Slot?

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 12 Years
      2 months, 8 days ago

      Probably stick in that case. I might change for free.

      1. MarcusAurelius
        • 9 Years
        2 months, 8 days ago

        Thanks mate

      2. MarcusAurelius
        • 9 Years
        2 months, 8 days ago

        If I did take a hit it would be for a table bonus team and between McKenna and Pereira

        1. Better off with a pin and a…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          2 months, 8 days ago

          I'd need a hit to change as well. I'm quite tempted by McKenna. Not likely bonus, but both Spurs and United over the next 2 weeks could give something away (perhaps Spurs not so much with recent improvement).

          1. Better off with a pin and a…
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            2 months, 8 days ago

            Actually, Ipswitch - United (probably) won't qualify for table bonus anyway so maybe not such a good option.

            1. MarcusAurelius
              • 9 Years
              2 months, 8 days ago

              Yeah I agree. Pereira offers table bonus for both weeks so could be worth it

  21. royals forever
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    2 months, 8 days ago

    What would you do this GW

    A Amad > Nwaneri/Dango
    B Emery > Juric
    C Both for -4

    Any ideas would be welcomed

    1. MHG
      • 8 Years
      2 months, 8 days ago

      I have same issue with Slot and Amad and 1FT

    2. MHG
      • 8 Years
      2 months, 8 days ago

      Would A give you a benching headache ? If so you could lose at least 0.2 and do A next week for free. Picking the right AM though is a gamble

    3. Miguel Sanchez
      • 8 Years
      2 months, 8 days ago

      A

  22. Atimis
    • 8 Years
    2 months, 8 days ago

    Play Munoz over Hall?

    1. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 months, 8 days ago

      affirmative

  23. pundit of punts
    • 12 Years
    2 months, 7 days ago

    Any possible spreadsheets of possible 33 doubles and 34 blanks?
