    Play BB, then WK6 Cucu & Sels to double Ars or Ars & Pool?

    Sels
    Cucu, Senesi, VDV,
    Salah, Semenyo, Kudus, Reijnders,
    Pedro, Haaland, Richarison

    Dubs, Statch, Gudmund, Guehi,

      Is that BB in gw6? Think there could be better fixtures for your bench

      1. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        6 months, 28 days ago

        BB in 6, then Ars for 7 onwards

  2. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
    • 14 Years
    6 months, 28 days ago

    WC this or use 2 FTs to get Haaland and TC? (Money itb so could downgrade Gakpo to bench fodder)

    Kelleher
    Cucu Milenko VDV
    Salah Gakpo Semenyo Reindeer
    Watkins Pedro Wood

    Valdi Anderson Rodon Hartman

      Could use the 2 free transfers

  3. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE

    FPL can be funny, was kicking myself for starting Kilman (don’t ask) over Josh King after Kilman was on 0 points and I saw Josh King was starting. Josh King got 1 point, Kilman’s now had DC’s added so finishes on 2 points

    Welcoming thoughts:

    I am embracing bad Football and getting Bruno on my team for these reasons:

    (1) Most Importantly - Bruno has never been a producer for me. Never. So I will crush all the Bruno holders by getting him into my squad. Spoils a rank-buster.
    (2) I have plenty of MITB money, I can turn a useless player like Gapko into Bruno
    (3) I am swimming in free-trades
    (4) MU has decent fixtures.
    (5) I hate VAR reviews were MU is given a PK or a Bruno Offsides is made a goal
    (6) Palmer is hurt
    (7) Sarr is hurt
    (8) Starting Paqueta or any West Ham player is just sad
    (9) Pino looks spicy but nothing more than that.
    (10) Probably turn Joao Pedro into Isak when I know more.

    1. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
      • 14 Years
      6 months, 28 days ago

      He looks a decent pick to me right now, would consider it and I'm also one that never seems to get lucky with him

    2. Old Bull
      • 12 Years
      6 months, 28 days ago

      My only problem is that it’s Man Utd, so unpredictable. Look at that red card today, totally unnecessary

    3. Benedict_Alexander_Arnold
      • 1 Year
      6 months, 28 days ago

      MITB money Is redundant

  5. Totalfootball
    • 9 Years
    6 months, 28 days ago

    Even though I have gotten an okay amount of defcon so far(should have had more) , I must say this is a great and exicting addition to the game without spoiling it ...Kudos to the developers

    1. The Son-dance Kid
      • 7 Years
      6 months, 28 days ago

      Yep, completely agree. I've been playing fantasy ucl last couple of years. Although defcon points are awarded slightly differently there, it adds an additional dimension without deviating from the core game

    2. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 months, 28 days ago

      Do you think it takes the edge out of attacking fullbacks though?

      1. Totalfootball
        • 9 Years
        6 months, 28 days ago

        Probably yes ,
        But overall defender pool has increased

      2. Old Bull
        • 12 Years
        6 months, 28 days ago

        Definitely. You can rack up DC points with cheaper players. I actually think the pricing isn’t right. My tactics this season has been to forget about attacking defenders.

      3. The Son-dance Kid
        • 7 Years
        6 months, 28 days ago

        Yes definitely.
        Players like Trent, or Alonso (in his bumper years) etc would still be worth it. But it makes a 4.5 CB much more attractive than a full back from a non top 3-4 side

  6. The Son-dance Kid
    • 7 Years
    6 months, 28 days ago

    Give Sanchez a break. He heard his manager say that he can't play all of the games, so he said went and got himself sent off so he could have a rest. What a team player

  7. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    On WC
    Raya Dubravka
    Gabriel Tarkowski Senesi Andersen Gudmundsson
    Bruno Semenyo Reijnders Ndiaye King
    Haaland Gyökeres Pedro
    0.9 itb
    Any obvious improvement needed?

    1. The Son-dance Kid
      • 7 Years
      6 months, 28 days ago

      Stretch King to any of the 5.0 mids with secure minutes. KDH, Xhaka, Stach etc
      Fulham's next 4 are quite bad, and the guys a kid - most at his age run out steam at points in their debut tears

      1. The Son-dance Kid
        • 7 Years
        6 months, 28 days ago

        *years

      2. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
        • 9 Years
        6 months, 28 days ago

        KDH has 4 YC’s, Garner (5.0m) looks good for DC’s and takes some set pieces

        1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
          • 9 Years
          6 months, 28 days ago

          Stach also looks good

    2. Totalfootball
      • 9 Years
      6 months, 28 days ago

      Looks good
      King maybe to a 5/5.5

    MOTD without Lineker is quite painful to watch. Where has all the fun and banter gone?

    It now reminds me of shows like "a place in the sun" or "jeopardy".

    Also, Rooney should be supported with subtitles when speaking.

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 months, 28 days ago

      Rooney is awful isn’t he.

      1. Mom, Butters just gave me a…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        6 months, 28 days ago

        He sounds like one of those dudes with a YouTube channel who are driving around somewhere in the Highlands or in Wales commenting live on everything like "and here is another limestone" and "that sheep should have scored"

    2. El Presidente
      • 6 Years
      6 months, 28 days ago

      Indeed

    3. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      6 months, 28 days ago

      Not when you own Stach 😎

    4. Oi! Shadders!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 months, 28 days ago

      Rooney is fine.
      If you want 'banter' then watch Michael McIntyre or some other such shite.

      1. Mom, Butters just gave me a…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        6 months, 28 days ago

        That's not banter that's torture.

      2. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        6 months, 28 days ago

        I agree, I have no problem with Rooney as a pundit

        1. Mom, Butters just gave me a…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years

          Well, as long as you have a Stach...

    5. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      6 months, 28 days ago

      Lineker will do a Top Gear & reappear on another platform & ruin the BBC

    6. Sheffield Wednesday
      • 5 Years
      6 months, 28 days ago

      Stilted and uncomfortable presentation, however the football content and analysis seems consistent.

  9. TafOnTour1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 1 Year
    6 months, 28 days ago

    On Wildcard here, does it make sense to go from A to B?!

    A) Romero, Cucurella, Salah, Mbeumo, Ekitike, King

    B) VDV,

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 months, 28 days ago

      Stick with A, more players

    2. TafOnTour1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 1 Year
      6 months, 28 days ago

      Sorry, message fail. Continuing on B, Richards, Fernandes, Gakpo, Haaland,

      1. TafOnTour1
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 1 Year
        6 months, 28 days ago

        And Ndiaye.

  10. Weak Become Heros
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 months, 28 days ago

    WC team with 3m ITB

    Petrovic
    Virgil Tark Gabriel Gvardiol
    Bruno Semenyo Caicedo Reinjiers
    Haaland Gyok

    Dub Stach Esteve Foster

    1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 9 Years

      Wow very nice!

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 months, 28 days ago

      Very nice, I would swap Gvardiol Petrovic with Senesi Donnaruma

  11. TafOnTour1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 1 Year
    6 months, 28 days ago

    Sorry, comments above all messed up so compiling into one. On Wildcard here, does it make sense to go from A to B?!

    A) Romero, Cucurella, Salah, Mbeumo, Ekitike, King

    B) VDV, Richards, Fernandes, Gakpo, Haaland, Ndiaye.

    1. The Son-dance Kid
      • 7 Years
      6 months, 28 days ago

      Tough. Probably B, but someone other than Gakpo

  12. martynteresa
      6 months, 28 days ago

      Why does reijnders look like he is heading for a pricwe drop tonight. He's not subject to pep roulette and is only 5.7

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        6 months, 28 days ago

        And hasn’t played yet, and has Burnley at home next week. People are really strange.

        1. martynteresa
            6 months, 28 days ago

            Yup seems odd. At 5.7 he has a lot more upside. Not only no pep roulette but he gets full 90's too.

          • Benedict_Alexander_Arnold
            • 1 Year
            6 months, 28 days ago

            Thanks Jim Morrison

        2. Totalfootball
          • 9 Years
          6 months, 28 days ago

          Yes shouldn't be selling just yet

        3. g40steve
          • 8 Years
          6 months, 28 days ago

          They will be reversing that TF next week sharpish

        4. The Son-dance Kid
          • 7 Years
          6 months, 28 days ago

          Rubbish price change mechanism is why

      2. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        6 months, 28 days ago

        I don’t watch Strictly Come Dancing and never will, but I just saw a thing about the ‘stars’ taking part, and thought it funny that the only two I had heard of, were both ex footballers. 😆

      3. Warby84
        • 10 Years
        6 months, 28 days ago

        Is Sanchez banned? Or misses cup match?

        1. DARE TO BISCAN
          • 7 Years
          6 months, 28 days ago

          Just a cup game

      4. DARE TO BISCAN
        • 7 Years
        6 months, 28 days ago

        On WC6:
        a) Xavi
        b) Kudus

        1. martynteresa
            6 months, 28 days ago

            Xavi has more goals and assits in him but isnt gettin full 90's or even nailed on starter. Kudus is both of those so. Tough choice

            1. DARE TO BISCAN
              • 7 Years
              6 months, 28 days ago

              Well, yeah. Hence the question 😛

        2. putana
          • 7 Years
          6 months, 28 days ago

          doesnt seem like there are any notable price changes tonight, I guess worth delaying activating the wildcard until tomorrow right?

          1. DARE TO BISCAN
            • 7 Years
            6 months, 28 days ago

            If you have no reason to do it tonight. It can wait.

        3. Slurpy
          • 10 Years
          6 months, 28 days ago

          Ekitike and Gakpo to Gyok and Bruno/Mbuemo or hold one more week

          1. martynteresa
              6 months, 28 days ago

              Hold one more week. Ekitike will still start one more week I think. The following week works fixture wise. ManU v Sun and Arsenal v WHU and Liv v Chelsea

          2. Powers106
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            6 months, 28 days ago

            Sels is such a troll, I got him in before end of last season for a run of 2 pointers and same again this year, can’t wait for my WC but have to suffer one more week apparently since he faces Sunderland at home….

          3. martynteresa
              6 months, 28 days ago

              Woltermade is a good deal at the moment and is probably up tonight. Wissa out for another 4 games so he starts and probably a few more games after that as they get Wissa uo to game speed. He is also a seasoned penalty taker.

              Other than that nothing to miss out on.

              if anything some of the price drops might help you e.g. Reijnders may drop tonight.

            • Warby84
              • 10 Years
              6 months, 28 days ago

              Senesi or VDV (Dbl Spurs defense)

              1. Magic Zico
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 7 Years
                6 months, 28 days ago

                Senesi

            • The Bandit
              • 15 Years
              6 months, 28 days ago

              If Reijnders falls tonight, then scores tomorrow, there will a scramble to get him back for Burnley at home and he will probably rise again.

              1. g40steve
                • 8 Years
                6 months, 28 days ago

                Twice

              2. martynteresa
                  6 months, 28 days ago

                  I have him. Dont understand why he might drop. 17pts from 4 games he is doing Ok. Burnley will park the bus so he will be in and around their box all game. Fancy City midfielders more likely to score v Burnley than Haaland

                  Happy enough with my BB.
                  56 with 3 to go. The Sanchez -3 didn't help tho.

                      1mill -> 100k.. hope Haaland doesn't spoil the party too much.

                  15 pts - at least not a disaster, happy enough to get rid

                3. martynteresa
                    6 months, 28 days ago

                    How in the world does this team have made 50 transfers so far. This team is making loads of transfers every game week/ That shouldnt be possible right?

                    Im seeing a clamor for WC online.
                    Thinking Haaland + Ndiaye in here for Mateta + Salah and then probably TC - Haaland.
                    Gyok for Watkins the week after probably.

                    Any reason why this idea doesn't look good?
                    Sanchez.
                    Virgil, Porro, Williams.
                    Semenyo, Salah*, Bruno, Reijnders.
                    Mateta*, Watkins, Pedro.
                    Dubravka, Anderson, Andersen, Esteve.
                    2ft's, 0.0m ITB.

                      6 months, 28 days ago

                      Seems fair

                    6 months, 28 days ago

                    Dub was very good today. He’s more than a cheap filler, could be very useful in certain fixtures. Wood was crap - and nothing to do with Ange’s playing style.

                    1. PascalCygan
                      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                      • 8 Years
                      6 months, 28 days ago

                      Having Wood is one of the reasons I’m thinking of wildcarding now rather than next week. Looks wrong on paper to sell him before Sunderland but what’s to say Ange doesn’t drop him?

                      Murillo could drop in price as well, while I’ve got Brennan too. I might keep Anderson on WC but Forest been so disappointing

                    Worth wildcarding? Getting an itchy finger because it would allow me to load up on both Arsenal and Haaland and my team is not performing well at all……

                    2 FT, 1 mil itb.

                    Got rid of BrunoF before City…

                    Is it time to bring back???

                      I’m looking at him too as my Salah replacement. Needs the funds for a certain Norwegian.

                    Is it worth bringing Xavi Simmons in? Will he start? Great two fixtures coming up.
                    Thanks!

                      Looks good but not proven yet. Kudus is ticking along and cheaper.

                    Would you say Bruno is worth the extra 0.9 over Mbeumo?

                      Yeah - pen

                      Ideally you’d have both. If you can only get one then yes, Bruno

                      Bring one

                      A. Bruno
                      B. Gyokeres

                        Probably Bruno - so many other good FWD options this season.

                          I don't think there are really too many forward options apart from Haaland, Gyokeres, JP & Evanilson maybe.

                            Haaland, Isak and JP will be my 3 very soon. Midfield looks like it will need a lot more working out. Prefer Arsenal defenders to attackers.

                        Bruno. Better player in a better team

                      Robert Lynch Sánchez. This week, I can see how he acquired that middle name.
