    Also, when is now best to play this Manager chip? Sorry well out the loop this year

    1. Steve McCroskey
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I think 30-33

    2. Silecro
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      GW31-33, but its not without risks if you have other chips like WC and BB

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Got them all haha. I’ve not had time this year to look

    3. Boberella
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      31-33 seems good with new/cpl dgw32 and the slight possibility (TBC) of NEW having a further DGW33 if they get through to the FA cup Semi.

    4. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Not now if you are considering FH29 - keep in mind it locks you out of other chips for 3 GWs

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Yeah. No idea when I’ll play it now.

        1. The Mentaculus
          • 4 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          31-3 is a good suggestion, catching 2 DGWs. If not something like 35-7 seems fine too

          1. RAFA THE GAFFA
            • 10 Years
            1 year, 1 month ago

            Yeah. Means I can’t play BB or WC around then?

            1. The Mentaculus
              • 4 Years
              1 year, 1 month ago

              Yeah. WC30 is popular to setup AM31-3 or BB33. I think GW33 will be turn out to be the only one where you can actually have a squad full of doublers (+ Salah I guess), but AM is a pretty powerful chip too. So I think the crux of the decision is whether AM that includes DGWs 32 & 3 is stronger than BB33

      Lucky boy, being out of the loop in this crazy season.

  2. Steve McCroskey

    Bench 1:

    A. Dango
    B. Kluivert
    C. Isak

    Hi all.
    Would you do Gakpo to Beto or Cunha for free this week?

    Won't FH29 so would give me a good step in getting 11 players. Alternatively I could roll FT and play him against SOU.

    Cheers.

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Like the Cunha move

    2. agueroooooney
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Cunha or hold for SOU. I've pulled the trigger for Cunha

    3. Conners
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I understand the appeal of holding Gakpo for Southampton.

      Just bear in mind he could potentially get rested in that game with PSG home and away either side of that fixture.

      Personally, I'd make the trade to Cunha.

    4. The Reptile
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I've got Gakpo and keeping for this week and next (V Saints) then out for Cunha in GW29 - I'd do Beto to Cunha if i had him though

  4. Letsgo!
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Start kluivert or schade?

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Kluivert

    2. Udogie-style
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Kluivert probably

  5. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Bottomed on this sorry.

    Watkins+ Rogers >> Cunha+Bowen for free?

    1. Steve McCroskey
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Yes for me, assume you're not FHing 29

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        I think so but not had much time to plan

    2. Boberella
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Yes from me also.

  6. DagheMunegu
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Play

    A Hall
    B Huijsen

    1. Steve McCroskey
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Id actually say A for attacking threat

    2. Udogie-style
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      A

  7. GC123
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Morning all. Worth shifting either Mateta or Wood > Cunha or stick? Can’t bring myself to lose Isak in the form he’s in given how much it’ll cost to bring him back in after GW29

    1. agueroooooney
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I don't think you can ditch Mateta, people are trying to bring him in not ship him out.

      Hard to say with Wood, Cunha probably better short term but it's a gamble.

  8. MIGHTY JOE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Roll this? 1 FT, 0.3 ITB

    Alisson
    TAA Myko Gab
    Salah Palmer Mbeumo Kluivert Semenyo
    Isak Wood

    Glasner, Valdi Hall Greaves Ndiaye

    1. aapoman
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I'd sell Hall -> Ait-Nouri for this week and then for gw29

  9. Tonyawesome69
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    I think we could see Newcastle start with 3/5 ATB WB setup against Liverpool, same setup against Arsenal in EFL Cup

    Back 5:
    Livramento/Trippier Schar Botman Burn Hall

    "Sven is improving and improving quickly, we will see if he makes the game or not, he will be close."
    https://x.com/NUFC/status/1894325282258973096?t=YeGqi0VE58ONIgkfW57inQ&s=19

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I hope so. All depends on Botman’s fitness

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Another opportunity for Howe to test setup for EFL cup final in mind

  10. Bobby_Baggio
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Is Bowen (C) too risky over the likes of Palmer and Salah?

    I got burnt last week with Kluivert (C)

    1. Steve McCroskey
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I think if you want to go different it's Palmer this week. Bowen would be my third choice though, definitely.

      1. Bobby_Baggio
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Yea brain is saying its a silly move - agree palmer should be the differential for (C)

    2. Boberella
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I would just assume Salah is getting around 15points every week and base your decision on whether you genuinely see Bowen or Palmer bettering that.

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I don't think you need to take the risk with captaincy on Bowen, should be decent gains with less than 10% ownership

    4. Boberella
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I also think Palmer is either 2 or 20 this week, so could be worth the risk.
      Can’t see Bowen getting more than 2 returns at best most weeks.

    5. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I think Bowen's ceiling is about the same as Salah's floor

  11. it lies in the proles
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Pereira the best manager for this week?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Top 2 with Glasner this GW

    2. The Iceman
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Yes, IMO.

    3. agueroooooney
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Coin flip between Wolves and Palace

  12. AppleDunk
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Who to bench?

    A. Sarr
    B. Wood
    C. Kluivert

    1. The Iceman
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      A and it's not close.

  13. Jimjam
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Kepa (Lumley)
    Trent, Gabriel, Aina (Castagne, Greaves)
    Salah, Palmer, Mbeumo, Dango (Rogers)
    Isak, Wood, Wissa

    1FT, 3.3 in bank

    A. Wissa --> Cunha
    B. Rogers --> Bowen
    C. Roll FT

    1. The Iceman
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      B is a huge upgrade but it could wait a week because your starting XI is already good.

    2. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I don't understand why people want to sell Wissa? Two home fixtures coming up against teams who ship goals, and a fixture in GW29.

    3. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      B

    4. agueroooooney
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      A

      Cunha is a better goalscorer than Wissa

    5. Boberella
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      C.
      Not sure who you’d bench with B. Prob wouldn’t get rid of wissa either.

  14. agueroooooney
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Quick one.

    Bench one:

    A) Gabriel
    B) Robinson

    1. The Iceman
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      B

  15. BusbySwede
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Having big trouble to decide what to do with Gakpo, keep until gw29 and hope he plays and haul against Southampton, or sell for Cunha and instead hoping for Gakpo to produce nothing..

    1. The Iceman
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I've sold for Cunha due to too much uncertainty. Both ties against PSG being either side of the Soton game made him a sell for me.

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I don't think he starts against Southampton looking at the fixtures between now and March IB.

      Assuming Gakpo is fit to start
      GW27: Gakpo Jota Salah
      GW28: Diaz Nunez Salah

      26.02 Newcastle (H)
      05.03 PSG (A) UCL
      08.03 Southampton (H)
      11.03 PSG (H) UCL
      16.03 Newcastle EFL Final
      March IB

    3. Goro Majima
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Having the same quandary, tempted to keep for now in case I decide to get Marmoush for 29 instead but very unsure.

  16. BobB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Will Isak's minutes be managed in the next 2 games (with blank to follow)? Tempted to sell for Cunha.

    1. The Iceman
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I don't see it.

  17. jcr1997
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    £3.2m ITB 1 free transfer (not using FH29)

    Kepa
    TAA Aina Gabriel
    Salah Palmer Semenyo Dango
    Wood Isak Gakpo

    Fab Castagne Rogers Myko

    1.
    a) Hold
    b) Rogers > Mbeumo / Bowen / Neto
    c) Gakpo > Cunha

    2. Bench Mykolenko, Aina or Gabriel?

    1. The Iceman
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      1. Rogers > Bowen
      2. Bench Mykolenko

  18. Steve Stiffler
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Start one from each and thanks:

    1) Aina (Arsenal at Home)
    2) Hall (Liverpool Away)

    A) Kluivert (Brighton Away)
    B) Wissa (Everton at Home)

    Also, Captain Salah or Palmer ?

    Currently on 1A Salah

    Thanks

    1. The Iceman
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      1B
      Salah (C)

    2. agueroooooney

      1BP

      1. Steve Stiffler
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Cheers for the response.

        Even though I already have Mbeumo, play Wissa too?

  19. The Iceman
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    How come Dango has become the fall guy this week? Everyone on here seems to either be selling or benching him! OOP midfielder playing for a very attacking team was initial the attraction, no?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      In isolation, the reasons you've given is fine to start this GW. Issue is he's competing against 7 other attackers in folks teams

    2. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Which one of Salah, Palmer, Mbeumo, Isak, Bowen, Wood, Cunha, Wissa, Mateta, Kluivert, etc are you benching?

    3. Boberella
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      When confronted with benching headaches, often benching the cheapest one sits best in the ol’ noggin.

      1. Merlin the Wraith
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        All things being equal I'd bench the least owned, minimising any damage.

        1. Boberella
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          Definitely viable, although works both ways in that you also gain more rank if they return.
          For me, cheapest works mentally, but Home vs Away fixture could swing it too.

  20. Goro Majima
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Start one from each pair this week. Thanks.

    A) Robinson
    B) Kerkez

    C) Dango
    D) Gakpo

    Or sell Gakpo for Cunha and play him?

    1. The Iceman
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      A + buy Cunha, IMO.

    2. agueroooooney
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      AC

      Cunha also an option, can you play Dango and Cunha and bench someone else?

      1. Goro Majima
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Could bench Kluivert or Dango really.

  21. nn11
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Which 3 would you start out of:

    TAA (New H)
    Robinson (Wol A)
    Saliba (NFO A)
    Huijsen (BHA A)
    Mykolenko (Bre A)

    1. agueroooooney
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      First 3

    2. Boberella
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Top 3

  22. LIARS POKER
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Best Emery AM replacement for the final week of the chip?

    A) Maresca
    B) Perira
    C) Glasner

    Leaning towards Maresca for what should be guaranteed win and potential for clean sheet/goals bonuses

    1. agueroooooney
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Coin flip between B and C for me

    2. Boberella
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I’d go B, purely based on palace home form not so good.

  23. Boberella
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Bench 1 please:

    A) Kerkez (bha)
    B) Robinson (wol)
    C) Wan-Bissaka (LEI)

    Currently on B, but not sure.

    1. agueroooooney
      • 11 Years

      A

  24. FCSB
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Pickford
    TAA Gabriel Robinson
    Palmer Dango Salah Kluivert
    Isak Gakpo Wood

    Valdimarsson Trossard Porro Greaves

    1FT, 0.3itb

    1. Gakpo >> Cunha
    2. Save FT

    Thanks

    1. Boberella
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      1 is the popular move. And an easy one for you as owning Trossard doesn’t give you a benching issue.

  25. hazza44
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Bench 1 from each. Cheers
    A) Gabriel (nfo)
    B) Konate (NEW)
    C) Robinson (wol)
    D) Colwill (SOU)

    1) Wood (ARS)
    2) Isak (liv)

    1. Boberella
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Very tough.
      D1.
      D because I think Saints sneak a goal against Chelsea.
      1 because I think Isak has a higher ceiling than Wood this week.

  26. FPL Sanky
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Anyone benching Wood?

    1. RoyaleBlue
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Never bench. Never Captain. xD

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Yes

    3. linkafu
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I may bench him. Can see a 0-0 in this game as Arsenal are not top with a lot of offensive players out but they still have their defense and midfield.

  27. linkafu
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Do you think this move can pay?

    Son+Iwobi to Bruno+Nkunku

    Y or N

    1. RoyaleBlue
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      N. Do you have Bowen? He is such a better buy than Bruno

  28. Boberella
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    So glad I’ve got Nwaneri. A cheap 8th attacker to avoid a benching headache every week and can possibly get something when I need to play him (Eg: GW29).

  29. Bale11
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Bench wood or semenyo? Already have Dango so leaning towards playing wood as Arsenal haven’t looked the best

  30. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Bench one:

    A) Timber (nfo) - will also play Wood
    B) Robison (wol)

    1. Bale11
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      a only bc I think cunha gets something
