      Legend

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years

      defcon is king

    Walsh did the thing. He's locked in with 532 this season:
    https://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/59811/event/4

    Fascinated to see how it pans out.

    1. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      10 months, 8 days ago

      Nothing wrong with 532 but wouldn't have King on the bench.

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

      he suggested Gabriel was worthless because he doesn’t get DefCon and clean sheets aren’t worth targeting.

      think his judgement is off, summed up by double Brentford defence and lack of midfield flexibility to target fixtures beyond pens

  3. Tonyawesome69

    Both goals from Zubimendi took a deflection off a Forest defender to take it away from Sels.

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 months, 8 days ago

      First ever career brace for him

    2. JBG
      • 8 Years
      10 months, 8 days ago

      Sign of a great striker that! No luck involved.

  4. More Tragic
    • 10 Years
    10 months, 8 days ago

    Sels 7 points after 4 games

    lmao

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

      Going sels over sanchez hurts

      1. More Tragic
        • 10 Years
        10 months, 8 days ago

        all the cool kids went with Vicario

        😎

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

          I followed the crowd - gutted as never owned sels last season so missed out on points

  5. OverTinker
    • 8 Years
    10 months, 8 days ago

    Good start after WC. Raya plus Gyokeres so far. Thanks for the recommendations as I wasn't keen on either of them

  6. PGR
    • 14 Years
    10 months, 8 days ago

    Would you WC if you had 6 players in your squad projected to drop in price tonight?

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      10 months, 8 days ago

      yes imo if you're not interested in keeping at least 4 of those players

      1. PGR
        • 14 Years
        10 months, 8 days ago

        Cheers!
        I'd likely want to lose all of Sels, Murillo, Ait Nouri, Diouf, Wirtz and Watkins if I were to WC.

        1. FPL Blow-In
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          10 months, 8 days ago

          Yes do it

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 8 days ago

      Post your team with FTs and budget

    3. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      10 months, 8 days ago

      Probably

  7. F4L
    • 11 Years
    10 months, 8 days ago

    watkins needs to score today so badly. pleaseee. or it'll be a fire sale, maybe even .2 drop

  8. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    10 months, 8 days ago

    Start Senesi (NEW) over Reijn (ars) and Grealish (liv) next week?

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      10 months, 8 days ago

      not sure how solid Bou will be with diakite out

    2. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      10 months, 8 days ago

      I’d start Grealish. Liverpool defending isn’t great and Grealish is in form.

  9. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
    • 8 Years
    10 months, 8 days ago

    Do we think Wood keeps his place under new management folks???

    1. More Tragic
      • 10 Years
      10 months, 8 days ago

      unlikely

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • 8 Years
        10 months, 8 days ago

        Yeah I agree with you mate

        1. More Tragic
          • 10 Years
          10 months, 8 days ago

          He turns 34 in eleven weeks

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      10 months, 8 days ago

      think he starts the next match, the striker who came on didnt do much. in time, probably will be dropped.

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • 8 Years
        10 months, 8 days ago

        Cheers mate. Against his old club too

    3. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 8 days ago

      I think he probably starts vs Burnley unless whoever starts in midweek vs Swansea plays a blinder but he is definitely a minutes risk now

    4. Feanor
      • 17 Years
      10 months, 8 days ago

      He’s still easily their best option to score goals

    5. chocolove
      • 15 Years
      10 months, 8 days ago

      What is this rubbish?
      He always start all 4 gw.
      Start the discussion again when he is on the bench
      So much scaremongering

  10. RICICLE
    • 4 Years
    10 months, 8 days ago

    Well, that’s garbage Milenkovic out the way, hopefully some points now!

  11. Miguel Sanchez
    • 9 Years
    10 months, 8 days ago

    Any chance Gabriel moves passed Timber up to 2 BPS?

  12. Moon Dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 1 Year
    10 months, 8 days ago

    James Milner still starting Premier League games at 39. What a beast.

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      10 months, 8 days ago

  13. g40steve

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years

    Murphy decent effort outside the box

  20. MikeBravo
