    Benched Dubravka, Gudmundsson, Dorgu - played Sanchez, Porro, Munoz - what can I say…

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      7 months, 17 hours ago

      Poor gwk tbh , I've got a green with 28pts

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      7 months, 17 hours ago

      Bad luck.

    3. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      7 months, 17 hours ago

      Maybe bad management with Sanchez over Dubravka? Probably couldn’t foresee the defenders

      1. Manani
        • 14 Years
        7 months, 17 hours ago

        sanchez red card is not predictable either, would have been 1 point vs 4 points anyway

  2. More Tragic
    • 10 Years

    Love the article headline: 'King starts again'

    Yep and returns his eighth point in 5 games

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 months, 17 hours ago

      £116m man Wirtz has returned 2 more in that period tbh

  3. All Hail K

    The guy in 8th place overall is confusing. Didn't touch his team for the first 4 gameweeks then took a -20 hit for gameweek 5. I admire his ranking but WT... ?

    1. Tomerick
      • 11 Years
      7 months, 17 hours ago

      Rank means nothing until after Christmas.

      1. All Hail K
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 months, 17 hours ago

        I know what you mean, but regardless of rank, why take a -20 hit when you have your Wild Card available? Unless he's not aware of it.
        Hate to think some 8 year old kid is blowing my doors off.

        1. Tomerick
          • 11 Years
          7 months, 17 hours ago

          It’s quite likely to be exactly this. At the beginning of the season luck will play a much greater part than skill. It always does but more so at the beginning.

          That person likely doesn’t even realise they were doing so well.

      Did the bits work out ? Assume not giving low scores

      1. All Hail K
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 months, 17 hours ago

        No, the new team is not particularly good if that's what you're asking.

    3. Punned It
      • 1 Year

      Prolly forgot to hit WC?

      1. All Hail K
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 months, 17 hours ago

        That would make sense. Or alcohol was involved.

  4. Slitherene
    • 8 Years
    7 months, 17 hours ago

    Who to get rid of first?

    Wortz
    Lagpo

    1. Jolly Good
      • 10 Years
      7 months, 17 hours ago

      Wirtz clearly

    2. All Hail K
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 months, 17 hours ago

      If you still have Wirtz, you haven't been paying attention.

  5. abaalan
    • 10 Years
    7 months, 17 hours ago

    Wharton assist....not that it matters but what...

  6. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    7 months, 17 hours ago

    Sarr & Guiu > Statch & Richa?

    -4 allows BB

    1. Jolly Good
      • 10 Years
      7 months, 17 hours ago

      Yes .. both falling in price today too … I’d get Thiago instead of Richarlison

    2. All Hail K
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 months, 17 hours ago

      Richarlison has a good run of games. I have Stach but he faces two good defences in the next two weeks.

    3. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 17 hours ago

      Cheers

  7. Jolly Good

    Ok so my WC draft had Haaland and Palmer

    But now with palmer groin injury and early sub - my options are

    1) get semeneyo and keep cash in the bank to get palmer or saka whoever returns back from injury first - both have good fixtures

    2) spread the cash

    1. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      7 months, 17 hours ago

      You don’t need to worry about Palmer for a long time now.

      Built a WC without him being in your thoughts

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 months, 17 hours ago

      I'd get Bruno over Palmer if you didn't have him already
      Looks great and amazing near-term fixtures

    3. Assisting the assister
      • 10 Years
      7 months, 17 hours ago

      Foden - see what he does tomorrow

    4. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 17 hours ago

      Select form & look at options

    5. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 17 hours ago

      1

    6. Benedict_Alexander_Arnold
      • 1 Year
      7 months, 16 hours ago

      Spread it

  8. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    7 months, 17 hours ago

    Palmer out for a long time then.

    Feel this is where Chelsea’s season gets derailed

    1. Flynny
      • 11 Years
      7 months, 17 hours ago

      Foden?

      1. All Hail K
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 months, 17 hours ago

        If Foden was assured starts he'd be 'set and forget' on my team.

        1. Flynny
          • 11 Years
          7 months, 17 hours ago

          Foden may be coming into form. Great v united and think did well in European game

          Let's see tomo. Maybe his troubles are behind him

          1. All Hail K
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            7 months, 17 hours ago

            We shall see. I have an opening for a mid that costs 10.4 or less.

          2. Benedict_Alexander_Arnold
            • 1 Year
            7 months, 16 hours ago

            Who is Tomo?

      2. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 months, 17 hours ago

        Saka

    2. All Hail K
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 months, 17 hours ago

      I think the groin is going to be an issue for a long time. Even if he's deemed fit enough to play he won't be at his best.

    3. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 17 hours ago

      That groin was prolly the problem even in the spring when he lost his form. Saka has hamstring (I believe). Looks like we could start 4-5 mid priced forwards, but premium mids seem to have issues. Perhaps Bruno + Semenyo is the way to go. However, Isak and Salah may find each other.

    4. NoOneCares
        7 months, 16 hours ago

        Nonsense post, again.

    5. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 17 hours ago

      Best 5m mid ?

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 months, 17 hours ago

        Stach

      2. All Hail K
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 months, 17 hours ago

        Stach. Today anyways. One of the leaders in 'chances created + shots'. Need Calvert-Lewis to continue converting though.

        1. All Hail K
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          7 months, 17 hours ago

          Pretty good with the defcons too.

      3. g40steve

        Sweet

    6. AC/DC AFC

      Main price change predictions for tonight (livefpl.net/prices)

      Up

      Woltemade, Xavi & Timber

      Down

      Sarr, Cherki, Guiu, Murillo, De Cuyper, Wissa, Fullkrug, Tielemans, Ekitike, Delap, Hoever, Elanga, Solanke, Martinelli, Johnson, N. Williams, Reijnders and others

      P.S. Prediction is not a perfect science, don't trust it blindly

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 months, 17 hours ago

        Ouch

        I have Ekitike, Reindeer and Johnson

        Was willing to think about it, a bit.

        Johnson the obvious one to go but perhaps wildcard now other than Gw7 is needed?

        1. PascalCygan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 months, 17 hours ago

          I’m thinking the same. Already lost a lot of rises, don’t want anymore drops

      2. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 months, 17 hours ago

        Lots of WCs will be in play so some of those won't happen too

    7. ArseneAllTheWay
      • 12 Years
      7 months, 17 hours ago

      Would you do

      Reijnders > King (7th attacker)
      Ekitike > Isak

      Will have to be tonight to be able to afford it with price drops

      1. BrockLanders
        • 11 Years
        7 months, 17 hours ago

        Tough one. I like Reijnders & Ekitike. Not sure Isak is anywhere ready yet

        1. Bushwhacker
          • 6 Years
          7 months, 17 hours ago

          He'll start next week.

      2. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 months, 17 hours ago

        Not for me at all
        Reijnders has Burnley (H) next and everyone will have Haaland (so no-one will have Haaland effectively, unless TC)
        King needs to be 8th attacker, I think it's only a matter of time until he gets dropped
        Isak I'd only be buying once he's playing full games and certainly am in no rush to do it for Palace away.

    8. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      7 months, 17 hours ago

      Might move Salah & Wood to Haaland & Semenyo tonight for free. Can't be arsed waiting for things to happen anymore..

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 months, 17 hours ago

        There is no need though, Haaland or Semenyo could get injured and no price changes for them tonight predicted

      2. Tomerick
        • 11 Years
        7 months, 17 hours ago

        Free, but at what cost?

      3. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 months, 17 hours ago

        Generally my rule is never bring a player in before they've played for the current GW

        1. All Hail K
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          7 months, 17 hours ago

          Absolutely. I've learnt that the hard way thanks to rage transfers. (More than once I'm ashamed to say.)

    9. FPL Sanky
      • 2 Years
      7 months, 17 hours ago

      Palmer to Bruno?

      1. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 months, 17 hours ago

        Could work

      2. x.jim.x
        • 11 Years
        7 months, 16 hours ago

        Saw people doing the reverse this morning, very funny

    10. Pep Roulette
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 17 hours ago

      Ekitike & Wood TO Gyokeres & Evanilson for free?

      1. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 months, 17 hours ago

        Ye

        1. Pep Roulette
          • 8 Years
          7 months, 16 hours ago

          Cheers mate

    11. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 17 hours ago

      Wanted to wildcard in GW7 but Sanchez, Murillo and Johnson are all fires I need to put out, and price drops look likely.

      Even though most of the team looks ok for this week, may as well pull the trigger and wildcard now?!

      2FT 0.2ITB
      Sanchez** Dubravka
      Murillo* Porro Andersen Konsa Gudmundsson
      Salah Johnson Reijnders Anderson KDH
      Haaland JP Wood

      Thanks

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 months, 17 hours ago

        Sanchez is fine for next GW btw, suspended for the league cup only

        1. PascalCygan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 months, 17 hours ago

          Oh really? Thank you. I wasn’t sure if it was a professional foul or a three match ban for violent conduct.

          I’m still tempted to wildcard now and get the team I’d have in GW7. What do you reckon?

          1. Sun Jihai
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            7 months, 17 hours ago

            Main drawback of WC6 for me is no TC Haaland which I am pretty keen on
            Team looks pretty solid to me, already have Haaland which many are WCing just to get in and good fixtures for players you might be considering selling on WC including KDH, Anderson, Wood, Reijnders, Johnson

            1. PascalCygan
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              7 months, 17 hours ago

              At one stage I was even considering a bench boost this week. I do like those fixtures in theory but Anderson and Reijnders I would likely keep on WC. Lost all faith in Johnson after successive benchings sadly. Thanks for the input. Tricky one

      2. Freshy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 months, 16 hours ago

        If you are getting rid of Salah - WC

        1. PascalCygan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 months, 16 hours ago

          Having to choose between him and Gyokeres looks like

    12. MJF
        7 months, 17 hours ago

        It's going to be pretty dull if Palmer and Saka are non-options for ages.

        1. All Hail K
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          7 months, 17 hours ago

          Exactly. Especially if a template emerges where they're all affordable.

        2. RICICLE
          • 3 Years
          7 months, 17 hours ago

          I’d prefer it, makes it more interesting.

        3. More Tragic
          • 10 Years
          7 months, 17 hours ago

          LOL

          Palmer's been a non-option since January

          1. MJF
              7 months, 16 hours ago

              Doesn't change my point though does it?

          2. Mom, Butters just gave me a…
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 4 Years
            7 months, 16 hours ago

            Thomas Tuchel already lost a lot more hair.

        4. Pedersen
          • 7 Years
          7 months, 17 hours ago

          I think I want to fix Cucu in defense. Too expensive for what I get. Any suggestions? Alternatively should I move on Sanchez instead to better keeper?
          Defense is:
          Cucu / Munoz / Porro / Senesi / Esteve

          1. Pep Roulette
            • 8 Years
            7 months, 16 hours ago

            I'd keep Cucu and shift Sanchez instead, despite him playing next week. I think the goalkeeper position requires less investment this season.

        5. RICICLE
          • 3 Years
          7 months, 17 hours ago

          Sorry to add to the never ending “thoughts on this WC” posts, but I am on WC now…….so…..thoughts on this WC? Haha

          Donnarumma
          Gabriel - VDV - Senesi
          Semenyo - Ndiaye - Bruno - Reijnders
          Gyokeres - Haaland - J.Pedro

          Any glaring changes you’d make or suggestions?

          Thank you muchly! 🙂

            • 8 Years
            7 months, 16 hours ago

            Very nice. Caicedo feels like a luxury bench player but makes a bench boost attractive

            1. RICICLE
              • 3 Years
              7 months, 16 hours ago

              Cheers! Yeah true with Caicedo, and I’ve just BB this GW! Maybe I should just go along and have some pennies

              1. RICICLE
                • 3 Years
                7 months, 16 hours ago

                along with King*

                • 8 Years

                Sounds good

          2. Freshy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            7 months, 16 hours ago

            Good stuff

          3. Pep Roulette
            • 8 Years
            7 months, 16 hours ago

            Really love this team! I was happy with my plans until I saw this. Covers almost everything.

            Although, I'd downgrade Caicedo to Stach, Andersen to Gudmundsson to keep some money in the bank and making this team more secure going forward.

            1. RICICLE
              • 3 Years
              7 months, 16 hours ago

              Haha cheers PR! I’m liking it a lot, downgrading Caicedo does make sense really, especially since I’ve already played my BB this GW. Andersen wasn’t originally included but just shoved him in as I had the spare funds, I had Gudmondsson in there haha!
              My only concerns I suppose is getting Palmer and the likes of Saka, but neither are to be hurried in really.

              1. RICICLE
                • 3 Years
                7 months, 16 hours ago

                Also perhaps a spurs attacker, Kudus or something but again I don’t think they’re an immediate target.

        6. MJF
            7 months, 17 hours ago

            That defending by Chelsea for the second goal is so bad.

            1. JT11fc
              • 7 Years
              7 months, 16 hours ago

              Why on earth did Jorgenson not come out for it? Crazy stuff

                  Yeah and then you had centre halves just stood ball watching. Looked like playground stuff.

                    So many things irritated me in that game, we really needed Neto on the feild, or Gittens, or even Garnacho, just anyone who could attack with pace

                          I did, that put a dent in that now, we even had Guiu on the bench who is a pressing monster

                All I can say is Joao Pedro is a monster, never gave up despite having 4 players on him most of the time and all his team mates playing "who can pass backwards the most"

                Why so many suddenly not using fh this week?
                A lot of good fixture opportunities, yes gonna get Haaland anyway but can just get him next week and still fh

                Average score with 7.2 players playing is 24 points.

                That's pretty horrible overall.

                I have 4 players left to play, Probably the same players that you all have left to play.

                Salad captains are about almost half of that 24 pt average.

                Mateta scored today and did his usual celebration… no booking!!

                But when he did it against Villa he got booked!!

                  I saw nothing wrong with his celebration. What's the issue?

                    Against Villa
                    The ref booked him

                    Apparently if you take the flag out of the ground, when celebrating, it's a booking. Playing with the planted flag isn't a booking. I won't try making sense to the logic of that!

                Bruno (c) worked but the rest of the team was useless.
