    Who to bench? One of each
    A) Sels
    B) Raya

    1) Saka
    2) Savinho
    3) Evanilson

    Was Dinge a silly flair pick for my Gab replacement?

    1. FPL Virgin

      I've owned Digne most of the season. It's been horrific. Never again.

  4. FPL Virgin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    At this point, I honestly give up. Season from hell.

    OMG. Look at RANs stats in the above. What's that all about? 😯

    1. LosBlancos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Still a troll, even with an xGI of 1 he didn't deliver

    Sarr over eze feels big mistake

    1. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 months, 5 days ago

      How about benching Eze for Sarr?

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        8 months, 5 days ago

        Oh! I benched sarr luckily

  7. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    8 months, 5 days ago

    Mbeumo to rogers no brainer?

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      8 months, 5 days ago

      I don't like it really.

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        8 months, 5 days ago

        OK but will get rogers dgw33

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 months, 5 days ago

      Not no brainer IMO
      Arteta isn't really focusing on the league now and with Brentford inbetween the two Madrid games, can definitely see Mbeumo getting something (as he did vs. Newcastle away and I suspect vs. Chelsea this GW)
      Similar for Rogers, if he's going to be ever rested, it's going to be vs. Soton.

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        8 months, 5 days ago

        Oh ok may hold off then

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 6 Years
          8 months, 5 days ago

          Similar thoughts to what Sun said. I kind of see Mbeumo as a strong differential against wild carders. Rogers has more risk and no pens.

          1. Stranger Mings
            • 5 Years
            8 months, 5 days ago

            Yeh can see him.doimg well.v CHE but if keep would bench dgw32

            1. have you seen cyan
              • 6 Years
              8 months, 5 days ago

              Yea, 32 is not ideal. Looks like I am playing Wissa and Mbeumo vs Arsenal. Or Bowen vs Pool. Not great, but I need them for 34 because I am not free hitting that.

              People thought Bou and New would be tricky for Brentford, but they both returned in those fixtures. Maybe Arsenal wont be so bad.

              1. Stranger Mings
                • 5 Years
                8 months, 5 days ago

                Arsenal not keeping cleansheets so brentford probably score

                1. have you seen cyan
                  • 6 Years
                  8 months, 5 days ago

                  Yea. Just realised I can bench one of them anyway. Wissa I guess.

        2. Sun Jihai
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          8 months, 5 days ago

          I'd wait until the PSG game anyway, wouldn't be super hot if Rogers plays 90. And I just think Mbeumo is the kind of player that we'll all regret selling on WC, he's been so good this season!

          1. Stranger Mings
            • 5 Years
            8 months, 5 days ago

            Yeh good point

  8. FantasyClub

    It blows my mind that some content creators suggested Digne fully knowing his trolling prowess

    1. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years

      Went for k9nsa

  9. Supersonic_
    • 4 Years

    Could really do with Brentford going bonkers tomorrow

    1. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years

      Me too owb8ng mbeumo

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years

      Hopefully, got Mbeumo and Wissa, playing Cucu too. Goals all round please.

    Who would you sell for Glasner?
    A) Munoz
    B) Eze
    C) Mateta

    1. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years
      8 months, 5 days ago

      A as don't seem to b keeping cs

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 months, 5 days ago

      A. Hard to see a CS in any of the next 4, apart from maybe BOU.

    3. Count Olaf
      • 1 Year
      8 months, 5 days ago

      Thanks! I was leaning towards Eze because it's easier to find a replacement (a Villa mid). Who would you buy for Munoz? I have Munoz/Gvardiol/Milenkovic/Burn/Gabriel.

    4. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      Do you really think Glasner can get a draw against those teams?

      1. Glasner Ball
        • 13 Years
        8 months, 4 days ago

        Yes, why not. We have one of the best away records in the league.

  12. davewg59
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 months, 5 days ago

    T/C and Bench boost left.
    Have 6 doublers in 32 and 9 doublers in 33. Am i wrong to really fancy T/C Isak in 32 or wld there be better options in 33?

    1. GCHILD2K16
      • 9 Years
      8 months, 5 days ago

      How did you manage that when only cry and new double.
      Are making subs after 32 to get 9 GB in 33?

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years
        8 months, 5 days ago

        An entire playing bench? Palace double in 33, so 3 of those 9 are still palace.

      2. _Ninja_
        • 15 Years
        8 months, 5 days ago

        He has 3 palace 3 newcastle in 32....but City, Arsenal, Villa, Palace all double in 33 so he has 9 for that.

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 6 Years
          8 months, 5 days ago

          Yea, he has:
          - 3 Palace
          - 3 Newcastle
          - 2 City
          - 2 Arsenal
          - 2 Villa

          That's only 12 players.

  13. Dank Squid
    • 7 Years
    8 months, 5 days ago

    Eze is truly "in the zone" - 0.02 xG, scores, 0.02 xA, two assists. Meanwhile Sarr doesn't like breaks, gone cold again (I knew yet still fell for it - stats are overrated).

    1. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years
      8 months, 5 days ago

      Sarr trap set

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

      I don’t understand why people aren’t able to wait until GW37/38 to say these things

      Sarr is cheaper and between now and then could outscore Eze. Your words are those of someone who chases points

    3. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      8 months, 5 days ago

      I just follow my gut with Eze. He has had some good performances recently so he is showing some form. He has hardly any goals this season when he normally has 9/10 or so. I therefore think, there aren't many games left this season, if Eze is going to be a good pick, its now or never.

      That said I don't have him. But I have been saying he would be a good pick for a few weeks now and a bit of a differential.

      I was surprised how many people went Sarr. Loads of people had him earlier in the season and he continually blanked. Sarr is not consistent, he just pops up with some goals in 2/3 consecutive games, then does nothing for 6/7. A bit like Kluivert's returns. The onyl way you benefit from players like that is either to keep them for the season, or have insane luck at picking them at the right time.

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years
        8 months, 5 days ago

        Actually, that's a bad comparison with Kluivert. Kluivert has done well and been fairly consistent.

  14. The-Red-1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    8 months, 5 days ago

    Crazy to bench Sarr with a dgw over Savinho?

    Sarr is rubbish!

  15. mookie
    • 12 Years

    Out of curiosity, I checked out how many of the all time best top 20 managers(Live FPL) left the door open for the possibility of saving FH in GW34.

    Players with a fixture in GW34 + FTs by GW34 = Total
    #1) 4+4=8
    #2) 8+3=11
    #3) 7+4=11
    #4) 7+4=11
    #5) 7+4=11
    #6) 5+4=9
    #7) 8+5=13 (Fabio Borges)
    #8) 8+3=11
    #9) 7+4=11
    #10) 6+3=9
    #11) 9+3=12
    #12) 5+3=8
    #13) already played FH
    #14) 6+3=9
    #15) 6+4=10
    #16) 6+3=9
    #17) 9+3=12
    #18) 4+4=8
    #19) 8+4=12
    #20) 7+3=10

    1. Sheffield Wednesday
      • 5 Years
      8 months, 4 days ago

      If the FH is not used in BGW34, there's a strong chance they use it DGW33, so would this mean one less FT for nearly everone? If so then even with no injuries only four could field 11 without a hit BGW34.

      1. mookie
        • 12 Years
        8 months, 4 days ago

        If Spurs(slight favorites) make it to the EL semis, it will be worth considering saving it for GW36. We'll know this before GW33.

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      8 months, 4 days ago

      Interesting, so they are pretty much all using FH in 33 or 36?

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years
        8 months, 4 days ago

        Depends also when these players wc or fh, they don't get a FT the week they activate those chips.

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 months, 4 days ago

      Interesting that all of the top managers seem to have 4 or so FTs saved! #skill

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 months, 4 days ago

        Oh wait I misread it

      2. Sheffield Wednesday
        • 5 Years
        8 months, 4 days ago

        Everyone has minimum 3FT by GW34 if they make no transfers/WC/FH in the interim.

    4. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 months, 4 days ago

      Expect the majority to BB33 and FH34. Plenty to sell Newcastle players in 33 thus hurting GW34 player numbers.

    Next week I have Areola (liv), Dunk (LEI), Williams (EVE) and Rogers (sou) on my bench.

    Can’t help feeling I should BB this week, TC GW33, FH GW34 and AM GWs 36-38.

    I get the feeling this is the week to BB, not during the double!

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      8 months, 5 days ago

      That looks ok to me. You only need to BB in a double if you have more than 11 players with doubles, otherwise, do it on the week with the best fixtures.

      BB in 38 for me probably.

  18. Flynny
    • 10 Years

    2fts and 0.1m. Currently thinking of going gabriel and hecke to neco williams and cucurella and playing bb. Saving the TC. How does that sound? Thanks

    Raya martinez
    Gvardio Munoz burn gabriel* van hecke*

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Expect the City trio to do much vs Palace? Outside that, it's pretty sound.

      1. Flynny
        • 10 Years
        8 months, 4 days ago

        City v unpredictable

        And I'll play the 3 city for their dgw33 so no real difference there

        Feel i should get the bb out of the way when I can without taking hits

        Let's see how isak does on Monday. If he does well and plays good time it may be hard not to TC him. Thanks

      Did you watch the match today? Nfo was close to be capitulated in first half.

      1. Flynny
        • 10 Years
        8 months, 4 days ago

        Only the 2nd half actually. And neco got forward v well I thought

        Forest v everton next week so neco feels decent bb option to me

  19. Reddonkeyham 42
    • 11 Years
    8 months, 4 days ago

    Despite using wildcard this week, I still have no idea when to TC or BB?

    1. Reddonkeyham 42
      • 11 Years
      8 months, 4 days ago

      Forgot to post team. This is how it looks this week (31)
      Raya
      Saliba, Gvar, Livramento
      Salah, Palmer, Mbembo, Rogers
      Isak, Matea, Marmoush

      Henderson Nwareni, Milokevic, Curcerlla

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years
        8 months, 4 days ago

        I'm not sure about Isak TC now. If we knew for sure Haaland has that double in 36, I would keep it. But we don't.

        I suspect he probably will have that double, but we need him fit too. He isn't meant to return until right around GW36, and if he doesn't return until 36 itself, he wont get 180 mins in the double, not even close. Even if he started in 35, he is still going to have reduced mins.

        We could TC Marmoush, which would be fine, but only if Haaland is completely out.

        I wish I played TC earlier in the season when Haaland was banging in hatti's.

        I will be exceptionally surprised if we come close to matching people who used it already, especially those who put it on Salah in the double.

        1. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          8 months, 4 days ago

          Haaland was in form very early in the season against weak oppositions. There were too many unknowns, including mystery chip at the time.

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 months, 4 days ago

      Wait and see how Isak does.

    I just checked Arteta comments after match and saw some YouTube videos. Now I really don't know if we need articles about referees here. Darren England vs Arsenal was not something I was worried before the match. Calculating referee bias in the future us just annoying. In Italy the only question would be the amount cash used for similar refereeing.

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years

      Replace them with AI. Simple.

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        8 months, 4 days ago

        Yes. But we fpl players need warning signs about referees now. I don't know whether Darren England has bias, is poor or even crooked. Had this been game in Italy or Spain decade or let us say2-5 ago, I would have known.

  21. Ajax Hamsterdam

    Who to replace Bowen with ? Plan is bb32 so need a good fixture this GW and also good dgw player for 33

    A Rogers
    B rashford
    C Savinho

    Cheers and GL 🙂

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years

      Think I would go A or C. Probably C.

      Looks pretty good. I personally don't trust Brighton, so I wouldn't go there, but that's just personal preference.

      You must be a Brighton fan. I lived there several years back.

      1. FDMS All Starz
        • 10 Years

        Actually an Arsenal fan haha, just couldn’t ignore that Leicester fixture for Brighton in the BB

        1. have you seen cyan

          Oh, I didn't look at that. Fair

        Almost identical let’s hope there is some change in the template for GW33 so we can FH and jump on

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 6 Years
          8 months, 4 days ago

          FH33 was looking good, then Haaland and Gabriel got injured. Watkins also doesn't look particularly appealing. I have to do it now because I have no choice, but its meh.

    Would love to. I just haven't got the patience or the enthusiasm to wait 5 minutes for the stats from each individual game to fully load.

    1. have you seen cyan

        I couldn't find stats about referees who are liabilities, sorry.

      Are you using a potato for a phone?
      No issues on my laptop.

        Good potatoes are better than bad phones.

      Hey Virg!

      Would you be interested in doing something for the community? There are some stats that aren't available for AI or the community. Controversial refereeing is one of them. Could you be a part of a coalition of willing and able to collect the data?

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years
        8 months, 4 days ago

        What will the metrics be for the refs?

        xA (expected assh0le)
        xB (expected bias)
        xCI (expected corruption involvement)

    Bench one:

    1. Saka
    2. Sarr
    3. Savinho
    4. Rogers

    Saka…?

    1. LeytonOrient
      • 11 Years
      8 months, 4 days ago

      Sarr the troll

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        8 months, 4 days ago

        Prolly good idea

        1. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          8 months, 4 days ago

          ...possibly...

      Will Saka play 90 mins next week, if I didn’t have my BB he would possibly be on the bench for me

      1. Steve Stiffler
        • 9 Years
        8 months, 4 days ago

        So sorry if no BB, Sarr

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 months, 4 days ago

      Maybe Rogers if he plays 90 vs. PSG!

  25. Baps Hunter

    Savinho still(?)

    What sort of mins do we think we shall see for Saka vs Brentford do with think folks?? With it being sandwiched between Real Madrid

    1. TorresMagic™

      The closer the CL tie is, the weaker the Arsenal team.

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        8 months, 4 days ago

        Agreed mate!!

  27. have you seen cyan
    • 6 Years
    8 months, 4 days ago

    For a -4, do you think these are good moves?

    Bowen > Murphy
    Bruno > Palmer

    I could get Gordon instead of Murphy, but that only leaves me 0.1 ITB, which will probably cause issues later.

  28. Steve Stiffler

    30 with 5 to play Salah (C) meh of a week. Benched Eze :(((

    Would you TC Isak next gw and BB 33 (will have 12 doublers), or hold TC for city in 37

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 months, 4 days ago

      Probably Isak.

  29. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    8 months, 4 days ago

    Benched Mateta’s 8 points cause I was worried about minutes after he didn’t get 60 last game. On 8 from Sels, Kerkez, RAN and Sarr.

    1. Glasner Ball
      • 13 Years
      8 months, 4 days ago

      He was always going to play, but yeah his time being managed and just building back his match fitness step by step.
