    Elanga or sarr better?

    1. CONNERS
      • 6 Years
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Is this a trick question?

    2. Big Mike
      • 2 Years
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Sarr. because he has back - to - back double game weeks.

  2. niaz1982

    Current team for this week

    Henderson
    Gabriel Huijsen Munoz
    Salah Palmer* Bruno Kluivert
    Woods* Isak Evanilson

    Sub: Sa, TAA*, Burn, Enzo

    Already used my FT this week but thinking of -4 to move Woods to Mateta although doing a WC next week so very annoying.
    Should i roll as is or take the hit?

    1. Tazah
      • 7 Years
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Enzo v tott isn't that bad that it's worth a hit

      1. niaz1982
        • 6 Years
        1 month, 17 days ago

        More thinking I'll miss out on mateta points this eek! Everytime I play Enzo he never does much!

    Hi all,

    Is the below team GTG and save WC for next week?

    Henderson
    Gvardiol / Gabriel / Cucurella
    Salah / Kluivert / Bowen / Mbuemo
    Marmoush / Wood / Evanilson

    Fabianksi / Dango / Davis / Robinson

    1. aapoman
      • 11 Years
      1 month, 17 days ago

      yeah you can roll with that but I'd expect you to lose points compared to those who WC this week and then how likely are you going to get them back if you just WC to similar team next week

      1. ShaunGoater123
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        1 month, 17 days ago

        mmmm fair point.

        I just think next week allows me to go for a say gordon, Trippier etc. who aren't particularly popular this week. This week threats would be mateta, isak and Munoz based on the template

      2. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
        • 13 Years
        1 month, 17 days ago

        The argument for waiting is more info on fixtures, so maybe could plan a better BB etc

        If you could manage something like wood > Mateta I think I'd roll

  4. Saka White Rice
    • 10 Years

    Who is the best keeper to rotate with Raya if plan is to AM31-33 FH34 BB35/36?

    1. FPL_Devil
      • 5 Years
      1 month, 17 days ago

      I’m on same strategy and I wouldn’t bring in a second keeper yet. You need all the money for the AM.

      1. Saka White Rice
        • 10 Years
        1 month, 17 days ago

        It's silly to transfer someone in later when on a WC. I personally can afford AM and a 4.5 keeper

    2. CONNERS
      • 6 Years
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Sels if money no object.

  5. Atimis
    • 8 Years
    1 month, 17 days ago

    Once again, appreciate your thoughts!
    AM31 FH34 BB36

    1) Alisson Sels Livra Konsa (open for Arteta AM DGW33)
    2) Raya Sels Livra Konsa
    3) Raya Areola Livra Milenkovic
    4) Raya Areola Trippier Konsa

    1. Atimis
      • 8 Years
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Like 1) as gives flexibility and not fully sold on Arsenal double def, 2) gives me Forrest player for possible DGW36, 3) lacks AV for DGW33, on the other hand 4) lacks Forrest

  6. AD105
    • 8 Years
    1 month, 17 days ago

    Howe or Glasner AM 31-33?

    1. Steve McCroskey
      • 11 Years
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Million dollar question. If you find a reasoned answer let me know.

      1. Tazah
        • 7 Years
        1 month, 17 days ago

        The answer is in the question

  7. The Mighty Whites
    • 10 Years
    1 month, 17 days ago

    On AM 31-33, FH 34 and BB 36 - I need a backup GK and defender - who are the teams to target for BB36??

    1. Atimis
      • 8 Years
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Forrest?

      1. The Mighty Whites
        • 10 Years
        1 month, 17 days ago

        Cheers - would you rather:
        A - Sels, Konsa & Burn
        B - Martinez, N. Williams & Livramento

        1. Atimis
          • 8 Years
          1 month, 17 days ago

          Burn 2yc away from being banned but overall tough to call it, Sels, Liva, Konsa?

          1. The Mighty Whites
            • 10 Years
            1 month, 17 days ago

            0.1 short to leave 0.8 ITB for AM

  8. jonnybhoy
    • 12 Years
    1 month, 17 days ago

    Best Kluivert replacement?

    A) Rogers
    B) Savinho
    C) Asensio

    1. Drizzle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 1 Year
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Think I'm going Savinho, but it's a real risk.

    2. Atimis
      • 8 Years
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Keep

      1. Atimis
        • 8 Years
        1 month, 17 days ago

        I mean is he injured?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

          Doubt for GW30

  9. Snoopydog
      1 month, 17 days ago

      Updated WC30 draft (no Haaland, no Kluivert, grrr)

      Raya
      Gabriel Gvardiol Munoz
      Salah Saka Palmer Sarr
      Isak Mateta Marmoush

      Areola Burn Murphy Konsa

      1. aapoman
        • 11 Years
        1 month, 17 days ago

        What is your team value? I'm like 5m off from that...

        1. Snoopydog
            1 month, 17 days ago

            Pre-WC sales was 107.3m (I think). It's now 105.8m.

      2. aapoman
        • 11 Years
        1 month, 17 days ago

        think it's done. Super template but the team just picks itself and can't see any decent differentials anywhere. WC30, BB32, TC33, FH34

        Raya
        Gabriel Gvardiol Munoz
        Salah Palmer Sarr Murphy
        Isak Marmoush Mateta

        Verbruggen; Rogers, Livramento, N.Williams

        1. Snoopydog
            1 month, 17 days ago

            Nice. And options vanishing everywhere!

            1. Snoopydog
                1 month, 17 days ago

                And like Neco. Better than Konsa.

            Boring dilemma - first sub

            Nwaneri 20-30 mins v FUL (H)
            Robinson 80-90 mins v ars (A)

            The one with the lowest ownership or highest xMins? Probably both 1-pointers if Fulham concede 2 goals

            1. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
              • 13 Years
              1 month, 17 days ago

              Attacker imo. Maybe he even starts and does 60 mins before saka comes on

              1. Tonyawesome69
                • 6 Years
                1 month, 17 days ago

                Probably Trossard, Merino and Martinelli front 3

          • Gohn
              1 month, 17 days ago

              Hi there! Please choose one:

              a) Palmer + Raúl
              b) Bruno + Mateta
              c) Gordon + Mateta
              d) Sarr + Mateta

              • 6 Years
              1 month, 17 days ago

              Play Mbeumo or Bruno ?

            • NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
              • 13 Years
              1 month, 17 days ago

              Is Wood to Mateta worth -4 if I'll WC next week anyway? Already have Marmoush.

              Got other doubts on Palmer and now Kluivert. Dango and RAN on bench if I need cover

            • Punned It
                1 month, 17 days ago

                Bah, Kluivert out? What exactly did Iraola say? I'm fancying Kluivert and Mateta > Eze and Evanilson now. Thoughts?

                1. Flynny
                  • 10 Years
                  1 month, 17 days ago

                  It's either this

                  Or kluivert to savinho?

                On a WC30 BB32

                What is the best combo for this team out of

                Munoz & Evanilson/Pedro (which one?????)
                Livramento & Mateta

                Raya Verbuggen

                Gabriel Gvardiol Cucurella Konsa xxxxxxxx

                Salah Eze Murphy Sarr Foden

                Isak Marmoush xxxxxxxxx

                Any ideas would be welcomed

                  • 11 Years
                  1 month, 17 days ago

                  Evanilson

                  • 2 Years
                  1 month, 17 days ago

                  I'd go for Munoz + Mateta and transfer out Eze.

                • 10 Years
                1 month, 17 days ago

                Kluivert a doubt!

                On wildcard will replace him with eze

                So need a new striker instead of mateta....who is best - both are bbable in 32

                A....evanilson
                B....pedro

                Thanks

                1FT, 2.5ITB, plan to WC in GW31

                Going to do TAA to Munoz, but also considering:

                a) Wood > Mateta for a -4
                b) Wood > Marmoush for a -4
                c) Elanga > Sarr for -4
