    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,

    .5

    1. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus

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

      1. g40steve
        1 year, 1 month ago

        BB in 6, then Ars for 7 onwards

  2. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
    1 year, 1 month 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

    1. Totalfootball
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Could use the 2 free transfers

  3. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    1 year, 1 month ago

    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
      1 year, 1 month 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
      1 year, 1 month 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, 1 month ago

      MITB money Is redundant

  5. Totalfootball
    1 year, 1 month 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
      1 year, 1 month 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
      1 year, 1 month ago

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

      1. Totalfootball
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Probably yes ,
        But overall defender pool has increased

      2. Old Bull
        1 year, 1 month 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
        1 year, 1 month 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
    1 year, 1 month 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

    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
      1 year, 1 month 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
        1 year, 1 month ago

        *years

      2. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
        1 year, 1 month 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
          1 year, 1 month ago

          Stach also looks good

    2. Totalfootball
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Looks good
      King maybe to a 5/5.5

  8. Three Pints of Schlager

    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
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Rooney is awful isn’t he.

      1. Three Pints of Schlager
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        1 year, 1 month 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
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Indeed

    3. THE Wild Rover
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Not when you own Stach 😎

    4. Oi! Shadders!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 year, 1 month ago

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

      1. Three Pints of Schlager
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        1 year, 1 month ago

        That's not banter that's torture.

      2. THE Wild Rover
        1 year, 1 month ago

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

        1. Three Pints of Schlager
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          1 year, 1 month ago

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

    5. g40steve
      1 year, 1 month ago

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

    6. Sheffield Wednesday
      1 year, 1 month ago

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

  9. TafOnTour1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    1 year, 1 month 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
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Stick with A, more players

    2. TafOnTour1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 year, 1 month ago

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

      1. TafOnTour1
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        1 year, 1 month ago

        And Ndiaye.

  10. Weak Become Heros
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    1 year, 1 month 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
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Wow very nice!

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Very nice, I would swap Gvardiol Petrovic with Senesi Donnaruma

  11. TafOnTour1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    1 year, 1 month 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
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Tough. Probably B, but someone other than Gakpo

  12. martynteresa
    1 year, 1 month 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 Wild Rover
      1 year, 1 month ago

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

      1. martynteresa
        1 year, 1 month 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.

      2. Benedict_Alexander_Arnold
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Thanks Jim Morrison

    2. Totalfootball
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Yes shouldn't be selling just yet

    3. g40steve
      1 year, 1 month ago

      They will be reversing that TF next week sharpish

    4. The Son-dance Kid
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Rubbish price change mechanism is why

  13. THE Wild Rover
    1 year, 1 month 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. 😆

  14. Warby84
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Is Sanchez banned? Or misses cup match?

    1. DARE TO BISCAN
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Just a cup game

  15. DARE TO BISCAN
    1 year, 1 month ago

    On WC6:
    a) Xavi
    b) Kudus

    1. martynteresa
      1 year, 1 month 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
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Well, yeah. Hence the question 😛

  16. putana
    1 year, 1 month 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
      1 year, 1 month ago

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

  17. Slurpy
    1 year, 1 month ago

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

    1. martynteresa
      1 year, 1 month 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

  18. Powers106
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    1 year, 1 month 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….

  19. martynteresa
    1 year, 1 month 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.

  20. Warby84
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Senesi or VDV (Dbl Spurs defense)

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Senesi

  21. THE Wild Rover
    1 year, 1 month 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
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Twice

    2. martynteresa
      1 year, 1 month 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

  22. Three Pints of Schlager
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    1 year, 1 month ago

    How are all BB teams doing tonight?

    Anybody +25 already?

    1. Sz21
      1 year, 1 month ago

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

      1. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Massive green for you

        1. Sz21
          1 year, 1 month ago

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

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 year, 1 month ago

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

    3. martynteresa
      1 year, 1 month 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?

      https://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/263620/transfers

      1. martynteresa
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Never mind he is throwing away 4pts every time.

    4. bso
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 year, 1 month ago

      35 with Haaland, Reijnders and Semedo to go.

  23. Sz21
    1 year, 1 month ago

    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.

    1. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Seems fair

  24. THE Wild Rover
    1 year, 1 month 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
      1 year, 1 month 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

  25. Jasoooooooo
    1 year, 1 month ago

    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.

    Sels,
    Cucurella, Porro, Munoz
    Salah, Semenyo, Kudus, Reijnders
    Watkins, Wood, Pedro
    (Dubravka, Brennan Johnson, Rodon, Esteve)

    1. lespaul
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Yep

  26. FantasyClub
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Got rid of BrunoF before City…

    Is it time to bring back???
    Just so reliable

    1. Bleh
      1 year, 1 month ago

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

  27. bso
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    1 year, 1 month ago

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

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 year, 1 month ago

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

  28. Bleh
    1 year, 1 month ago

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

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Yeah - pen

    2. Herger
      1 year, 1 month ago

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

      1. NoOneCares
        1 year, 1 month ago

        LOL

  29. Pep Roulette
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Bring one

    A. Bruno
    B. Gyokeres

    1. Bleh
      1 year, 1 month ago

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

      1. Pep Roulette
        1 year, 1 month ago

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

        1. Bleh
          1 year, 1 month ago

          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.

    2. Herger
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Bruno. Better player in a better team

  30. Sheffield Wednesday
    1 year, 1 month ago

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