    Can you WC during the 3 weeks the Assistant Manager chip is active?

    1. Steavn8k
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      No, one chip at a time.

    2. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$

      No, and this will be missed by a few I suspect.

      1. The Knights Template
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Woohoo!

  2. Mino Raiola
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Who will score more point this week?

    A) Marmoush
    B) Isak
    C) Mateta

    Due to injury to Haaland I need to swap him out for one, also have Wood and Evaninilson. Don't know if its worth to -4 wood out for one more and bench Evanilson

    On WC, 3.5m ITB, keeping 1.5m for Howe, anywhere you'd spend the extra 2m here (Sarr to Eze?) or just save for something like Muphy to Rashford after 32?

    Raya
    Munoz Gvardiol Kerkez
    Salah Saka Kluivert Sarr
    Isak Mateta Marmoush

    Areola Murphy Gabriel Milenkovic

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Eze could be on pens if Mateta gets rested on plays another 60 minutes. Sarr is better away from home against high presses. It's close

    Livramento or Burn on a WC?

    1. Lecky Legs FC
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Livramento, Burn is on 7 Yellow cards

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

        Worse... 8

      2. Gazza2000
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Is he nailed though?
        Isn't Burn is more nailed if Botman returns?

    Have the 3 fixtures postponed out of GW34 been re-arranged yet? I've seen "highly likely" Man City double in GW33, and similar, but nothing definite.

    1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Nope. Just predictions so far. And fixture rearrangements are notoriously unpredictable.

  6. The Knights Template
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    The Big Merino or Savinho?

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Savinho was rested as his wife had a baby

      Id go him

      1. Cruyff's Eleven
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Hardly restful, innit

    2. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Savinho

  7. marpy016
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Rate this WC draft (0 ITB with FH and BB left)?

    Raya - Areola
    Gvardiol - Gabriel - Munoz - Livra - Neco
    Salah - Saka - Eze - Gordon - Kluivert
    Mateta - Isak - Marmoush

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Looks like all the others, so good.

  8. Ser Davos
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Munoz Gabriel pretty set

    Eliminate one from:

    Kerkez, Livra/Tripper, Neco/Milenkovic, Gvardiol

    unless I'm overlooking anyone

  9. GoonerGirl
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Henderson/Sells
    Robinson Gabriel Milenkovic
    Salah Kluivert Dango Palmer Bowen
    Isak Evanilson Wood

    A) -4 Remove Dango and Wood
    B) Just do Wood>Marmoush for free
    C) Wildcard

  10. kanuforpresident

    Planning AssMan Glasner GW31 but currently have 3x CP in WC

    Who is most disposable to allow me bring in Glasner?

    A. Munoz
    B. Sarr
    C. Mateta

    1. AC99__
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I have the same issue, except running Eze over Sarr in my WC.

      Thinking Mateta is a 100% keep, and then Munoz as the other. Munoz is 100% rotation proof, and even without CS points he's always good for for a G/A.

      All depends on your other defenders of course, as with Gabriel, Gvard etc its quite easy to get 3 good defenders without Munoz. I was looking at the Gabriel/Gvard/Trippier trio for this reason potentially.

      1. kanuforpresident
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        So you're ditching munoz?

        1. AC99__
          • 3 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          I think i'm going to keep Mateta and Munoz + Glasner, not 100% set though.

  11. Miguel Sanchez

    How much of a risk do we think Konsa is to start in GW 32 vs Southampton away given its sandwiched between their PSG games in the UCL?

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      All defenders are bank. Konsa gets injured and Diasi so. Can't play in Europe can he?

  12. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Hitting AM31, what are your thoughtsabout GW33?
    I intend to start with Howe but would switch for DGW33, Arteta, Emery, Pep? WC depending on this call e.g, if going triple Arsenal or City. Rather have triple CP so probably no Glasner.

  13. Lecky Legs FC
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Chasing my ML by 155 points this is how my team stands worth playing my WC now to try and catch up?

    Henderson
    Hujisen Gabriel Munoz
    Kluivert Mbuemo Salah Palmer
    Isak Marmoush Wood (!)

    subs; Dubravka,Elanga,Aina & Greaves

    any feedback is welcomed as per

    1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 11 Years

      155 points will take some doing, but good luck!

      1. Lecky Legs FC
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Cheers mate Marmoush captain this GW

    2. sunzip14
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      looks fine for this week to me but depends on what chip strategy your rivals have.

      1. Lecky Legs FC
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Cheers I’m not too sure think a few have played thier TC’s and AM chips got thier second WC’s and BB to use though I have all mine bar the FH chip but need to make some movement soon

    3. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      You're not gonna be able to turn 155 points around. But good luck trying!

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

    Saka?
    Wait a week
    Play
    Bench
    Any new saka owners

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Lots most are going. I am sticking with Palmer.

      You will possibly get a leak. Probably all wearing hoodies and sunglasses in the on a sunny April evening

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

        Cheers ha

  15. sunzip14
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Can WC be saved until 31, if this is my starting 11 for GW30?

    Allison
    Timber, Huijsen, Ait-Nouri
    Salah, Palmer, Kluivert, Bowen,
    Isak, Marmoush, Mateta

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Yes. Decent team

  16. -GK22-
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Bench order and setup correct?

    Raya
    Gabby, Gvardiol, Muñoz
    Salah, Saka, Kluivert, Sarr
    Isak, Mateta, Marmoush

    Emi, Murphy, Trippier, Milenkovic

    1. Timmyj
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I think so but maybe Milenkovic before Trippier IMO, close call.

  17. Timmyj
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Current defenders: Kerkez, Milenkovic, RAN (Robinson, Myko)

    Is Robinson to Gvardiol (then bench RAN) this week worth a FT?

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

      Yeah

  18. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Saka or palmer?

  19. Lxnzini
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    No one tempted by Watkins on wildcard? Doubts over mins with UCL games?

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      No and yes

    2. Kingy109
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Plan would be to get for Isak in GW33

  20. OptimusBlack
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    On WC
    Would u get Saka from now or get Kluivert Now and then get Saka with his DGW 33 ?

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

      Both?

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

    Morning all. Anyone else with AM chip thinking about not using WC in 30 and AM 31-33? My team is decent for this week and if I WC in 31 I can then BB in 32/33 and FH in 34. Is using AM 36-38 mad?

    1. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Think I am set on using AM in 31/33, especially if Palace get a double, double.
      I don't really need to WC this week but when to use it?

      my team for reference
      Raya
      Aina, Munoz, Kerkez
      Salah, Mbeumo, Bruno, Kluivert
      Isak, Wood, Marmoush

      Valdi, Rogers, Faes, Johnson

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

        Nice team. I’d like to use BB in 32/33. Tough call

  22. Crunchie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Raya (Fabs)
    Huijsen Munoz (Trent Hall Myko)
    Salah Palmer Sarr Kluivert (Mbeumo)
    Mateta Marmoush Isak

    No FH. AM and BB left. 0FT
    is it worth doing a hit for fixture news and possible Brighton bonus points
    1 Gvardiol -4
    2 Gabriel -4
    3. Or WC now

    1. ButterB
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      That's a pity. You have a lot of players in place already that most WCers are bringing in.
      Are you using the AM chip 31-33 or keeping it for later on?
      What's the plan for BW 34 with no FH?

    2. ButterB
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      WC now and what do you do, try and save all your FT until 34 for big changes for the blank, then bring back a couple of players for DGW 36...

  23. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Bench one to play saka

    A kerkez
    B gab(have raya)
    C gvardiol
    D Muñoz
    E bench saka, play all 4 above
    Cheers

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years

  24. Miguel Sanchez

    Saka or Savio on WC?

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      You will possibly get a leak. Probably all wearing hoodies and sunglasses in the on a sunny April evening from a tinted bus after staying in Holloway prison hotel

  25. kanuforpresident
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Start timber or konate?

    Raya already as gk

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Think white will start. Timber was very ill. But it is Arteta

  26. Sir Michael Taker
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    I can't remember a season quite like this where the budget is completely meaningless because most of the premium assets are duds.

    Haaland - crocked, behind Chris Wood in FPL anyway
    Palmer - was crocked, terrible form.
    Saka - just back from being crocked, possible mins risk short-term.
    Son - finished. Barely scores more than Maddison on half his mins.
    De Bruyne - finished, mins risk.
    Foden - terrible season, mins risk.
    Watkins - not been a 90 min man this season, Villa european hangover.
    You can add in the crocked most expensive defender by miles to this list if you like.

    You could legitimately buy a more than half decent side with about 95m at the moment probably.

  27. Tinfoil Deathstar

    Thoughts on WC draft? £0.1 ITB to allow Murphy + Isak to Rogers + Watkins in 33 for BB.

    Raya
    Gvardiol - Munoz - Gabriel
    Salah - Saka - Foden - Sarr
    Marmoush - Mateta - Isak

    Bench: Areola; Murphy, Burn, Konsa

  28. anish10
    • 15 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Not sure what to do here in terms of chips, got FH, WC & BB still - any help would be appreciated

    Current team:

    Sels
    Timber - Gabriel - Milkenovic
    Dango - Sarr - B.Fernandes - Salah
    Isak - Marmoush - Wood

    4.0 - Ramsey - Davis - Okoli

    Bench is very weak

  29. hogree
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Current team for GW30 (no hits) - would you wildcard now or keep? TC32, BB33, FH34

    Pickford
    Gabriel - Hujsen - Munoz
    Palmer - Salah - Mbeumo - Fernandes
    Evanilson - Marmoush - Jimenez

    Fabianski - Outtara - OShea - TAA

  30. Lallana_

    Wildcard good to go?

    Ederson | Verbruggen
    Gabriel | Gvardiol | Saliba | Livramento | O'Brien
    Salah (C) | Saka | Kluivert | Sarr | Murphy
