      What's the plan for the one you're keeping? Wood has the better fixture next week, Mateta probably better long term, though neither look that great right now.

        Yeah the sums it up perfectly mate!!! One will go to Isak eventually!! I wonder if I give wood one more?? Just don’t think I can risk it with Pedro

    How are Salah cappers now? Bit more relieved?

      Not really I should have captained Mateta, but I succumbed because of my tiny.....

    Captain Kevin! C'mon son!!
    Oh benched.
    See you next season.

    1. Digital-Real

      no way you put the armband on him

      1. The Night Trunker.
        • 2 Years
        7 months, 1 day ago

        I actually did because I thought Iwobi was a big doubt and he is their record signing who looked like a world beater when he came on last week.
        Anyhooows, 'ti's what it is. 🙂

        1. Yes Ndidi
          • 6 Years
          7 months, 1 day ago

          I hope he gets something off the bench for you. He's likely my left field pick on WC if he carries on like he did last week

          1. The Night Trunker.
            • 2 Years
            7 months, 1 day ago

            Nice one!

        2. Digital-Real

          think he will get you an attacking return when he comes on.

          1. The Night Trunker.
            • 2 Years
            7 months, 1 day ago

            I'm not a bad person so am not willing an early injury to Iwobi, well maybe a little ingrown toenail or 'summing.

      I'm guilty of Kevin (c) too!
      I spent ages flipping the captaincy back and forth between him and Dango
      Of course it turns out they both start on the bench 🙁

      1. The Night Trunker.
        • 2 Years
        7 months, 1 day ago

        To be fair to ourselves, outside Salah, there was a case.
        Good luck when the **** finally brings him on.

    Somehow managed a green arrow 35 pts with just Semenyo, Haaland and the Reindeer to go.
    What a mess that CHE game lol!

    1. Moon Dog
        7 months, 1 day ago

        Very low avg score this week. It matches what the bookies were expecting. They were predicting few goals and few CSs. Bang on.

        1. Yes Ndidi
          • 6 Years
          7 months, 1 day ago

          They're rarely too far out, the bookies

            So true. Obviously have the best crystal ball lol!

      • BananaDrama
          7 months, 1 day ago

          Currently 15 points with only Semenyo, Senesi and Haaland(c) to go...

            Tough stuff mate. Hopefully you will make it up next week.

            1. BananaDrama
                7 months, 1 day ago

                Ah well, at least I started Dubs instead of Vicario 🙂

        • SINGH
          • 7 Years
          7 months, 1 day ago

          We should have a new chip available next season where we can for 1 game week only amend our starting 11 retrospectively after the game week has completed.

          So any points on the bench can we swapped for a less performing player for that gameweek only.

          1. Yes Ndidi
            • 6 Years
            7 months, 1 day ago

            Like a captain hindsight chip...

            I wouldn't be against that, as long as you had to play it pre-deadline (the only way it would work, I think). Call it hedging your bets against benching and captain dilemmas

          2. Brosstan
            • 11 Years
            7 months, 1 day ago

            Sounds like a big change to code would have to be made to even make it possible to make transfers mid game week just to make this chip technically possible so my bet is 0% chance this happens.

            1. Brosstan
              • 11 Years
              7 months, 1 day ago

              Subs* not transfers

          on WC:

          Reij or Caicedo as 7th attacker?

          1. SINGH
            • 7 Years
            7 months, 1 day ago

            Reij

          2. Magic Zico
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            7 months, 1 day ago

            None for 7th, if must Reijnders

          3. Brosstan
            • 11 Years
            7 months, 1 day ago

            If I could swap Reijnders who is in my team for Caicedo I'd do it in a heartbeat

          Who's LIV attacker worth to be included in WC?

          1. Yes Ndidi
            • 6 Years
            7 months, 1 day ago

            Only one is nailed at the Mo.

            Isak will be the one, but not yet.

            The points are being spread very thinly there

        • F4L
          • 11 Years
          7 months, 1 day ago

          from maresca after the match it doesnt sound like palmer worsened anything today, just still not 100%. should still be likely to start vs brighton no?

          1. F4L
            • 11 Years

          • 11 Years
          7 months, 1 day ago

          I don't mind as a Sanchez owner but it really shouldn't be possible to serve your 1 match ban in the league cup. An absolute non punishment.

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            7 months, 1 day ago

            Agree

        • Bob_the_builder
          • 9 Years
          7 months, 1 day ago

          Kudus or Xavi? Who to get for the next 3 GWs?

          1. Not again Shirley
            • 9 Years
            7 months, 1 day ago

            I have Xavi so probably the other guy. In fairness though, Xavi sounded pretty lively when he came off the bench.

          2. Johan Cryuff
            • 12 Years
            7 months, 1 day ago

            Kudus

        • ☈☾

          7 months, 1 day ago

          Is King actually good?

          Can he rotate with KDH?

          1. Brosstan
            • 11 Years
            7 months, 1 day ago

            Kdh seems bad. Yellow card magnet, 1 pointers and suspensions is what you will get most of

          2. Johan Cryuff
            • 12 Years
            7 months, 1 day ago

            Worthy 4.5 imo

          3. Moon Dog
              7 months, 1 day ago

              Not really. Just someone cheap to sit on the bench.

            Maresca tells the BBC that Palmer had a fitness test this morning to see if he could play for CFC: "Cole this morning did a test to play this game. He was not 100%. It was a fantastic effort for the club, for his team-mates, for the team. Unfortunately he was not 100%."

            Cole Palmer has been injured since before the CWC. They’ve been giving him pain injections to play. Nothing bad showed up on the scans but he’s had continuous discomfort in his groin and it’s not gone away.

              dont know the ins and outs of this, but even with winning the cwc if this is true then not sure the reward was worth potentially throwing away this season if your best player is not fully fit for a large part of it

              well i guess they took a risk and were lucky they at least won the cwc . palmer should've been resting

              Activate WC? 2ft currently.

              Sanchez Dub
              Porro Andersen Neco De Cuyper Rodon
              Salah Wirtz Semenyo Reijnders Kdh
              Watkins Pedro Wood

              1. Magic Zico
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 7 Years
                7 months, 1 day ago

                Sanchez Porro De Cuyper Wirtz Wood ... probably do it now especially if Haaland is desired

              2. BobbyDoesNotLook
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 8 Years
                7 months, 1 day ago

                Other option is use 2ft Wirtz Watkins to Brooks Haaland. But that would mean no Arsenal for a while and defence with avg fixtures. Would keep Mo though as a differential.

              3. aapoman
                • 12 Years
                7 months, 1 day ago

                Yeah use it. I rather use WC now and carry multiple tranfers than use ttansfers and WC with 0 on hand

                1. BobbyDoesNotLook
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 8 Years
                  7 months, 1 day ago

                  Thanks. I agree. Getting Haaland is priority but there a few nice to do fixes in my team plus the 2ft saved.

              Salah and Etiikite to Grealish and Haaland for minus 4 or play FH next week to get the big Norwegian in. If minus 4 option, may TC him.

                • 6 Years
                7 months, 1 day ago

                As someone planning to TC him next week, please can everyone go down the FH route!!!

                I think you'll want him long term, so I wouldn't be afraid to take the hit.

                  • 12 Years
                  7 months, 1 day ago

                  Using TC on an obviuos captain is so lame. I'm tempted by TC Gyökeres in GW7

                    Nuno will have things tightened up by then.
