    Trying to decide if I should get De Cuyper out right now mostly just so I don't lose another .1. TV is already under 100. It's friggin' irritating.

  2. DeSelby
    • 3 Years
    2 months, 15 days ago

    Watkins & Palmer -> Haaland and 6.2 midfielder for free?
    or
    (for exact funds before De Cuyper drops) Watkins, Palmer, and De Cuyper -> Haaland, Timber, Stach for -4?

    1. Casual Player
      • 5 Years
      2 months, 15 days ago

      1st one is my early plans, so I naturally agree with that

      1. DeSelby
        • 3 Years
        2 months, 15 days ago

        I think I should probably wait. I don't normally think of making transfers this early but I also don't usually have a below par TV. If I do the 2nd one and Haaland or Timber get hurt tomorrow I could just pull the WC. Maybe I'll flip a coin.

        1. Casual Player
          • 5 Years
          2 months, 15 days ago

          I think wait as well

          Low value TV doesn’t really matter right now unless you want Haaland and Salah, which isn’t essential IMO

          I can see scenarios where it hardly matters all season.

          Even if it does matter, Defcon gives flexibility to work around it. can potentially save 2m pretty easily by avoiding a couple of premium defenders and finding the gold at 4-5m, plus another 2m getting a 5-5.5 defensive mid over an attacking 6-7.5m option.

          1. DeSelby
            • 3 Years
            2 months, 15 days ago

            Eh, I decided screw it. And I'm not even drunk. Took a -4 and got Haaland plus Timber before he went up and rid of De Cuyper before he went down. (I do have Salah also). At least I still have a WC to bail me out.

            1. NZREDS
              • 12 Years
              2 months, 15 days ago

              Good shout, not a bad call.

  3. Letsgo!
    • 9 Years

    11 pts with watkins(c) konsa tavernier gyokeres haaland left..
    What a gw. Tell me about urs

    1. Casual Player
      • 5 Years
      2 months, 15 days ago

      That can still turn into something decent - 3 strikers get a goal each you probs get to a respectable 50ish

      I’m 48 with only Semenyo and Watkins left

      1. DeSelby
        • 3 Years
        2 months, 15 days ago

        48 is a massive score so far for this week. I've got 29 with only Watkins, Semenyo, and Reijnders left and I'm on a small green arrow. (sitting just under 2mil rank)

        1. Casual Player
          • 5 Years
          2 months, 15 days ago

          Yeah been good so far but a lot can happen. I have moved from 2.8k to just inside the top 1m. Probably need ManC 1-0 win with Haaland blanking to end in the low 1-1.5m range.

          I have been fortunate that all my slightly differential defenders got attacking returns - Neco, Guehi and Chalobah - in the week where CSs disappeared

          1. Casual Player
            • 5 Years
            2 months, 15 days ago

            2.8m not 2.8k!

      2. Letsgo!
        • 9 Years
        2 months, 15 days ago

        Thats massive actually!
        I just hope watkins have a goal or 2… at least

  4. Casual Player
    • 5 Years
    2 months, 15 days ago

    How about all them clean sheets?

    1. Benedict_Alexander_Arnold
      • 1 Year
      2 months, 15 days ago

      No clean sheets here, as me team has soiled the bed

  5. FPL Virgin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 months, 15 days ago

    This is a bit late isn't it?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 months, 15 days ago

      What the hell is wrong with you.

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 months, 15 days ago

        Neale usually blasts out 2 or 3 scout notes overnight on a Saturday. I was hoping to be reading the first of them by now, not still on the scorecard. Neale's Saturday night articles are the absolute pinnacle of FPL content. Like Frank Drebin swimming in raw sewage, I love it.

        1. Benedict_Alexander_Arnold
          • 1 Year
          2 months, 15 days ago

          I wish you would really swim in raw sewage

  6. Meta12345
    • 1 Year
    2 months, 15 days ago

    Play two:
    A) stach
    B) mitoma
    C) strand larsen

  7. pocketcroc
    • 1 Year
    2 months, 15 days ago

    wait a second, how come Chalobah didn't get his DC points on the game if he got 10 on the graph here? game says he got 9? will it be adjusted or now the day is done is it closed for good?

    1. Casual Player
      • 5 Years
      2 months, 15 days ago

      FPL site still says 9

      But if it’s been updated to 10 and the round isn’t closed, should get the pt added. Same way bonus pts and goals/assists can change

      I want that point too!

    2. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 months, 15 days ago

      Should stay at 9 imo

      1. Casual Player
        • 5 Years
        2 months, 15 days ago

        You do a separate stats count or something?

        1. Herger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          2 months, 15 days ago

          No

  8. AAAFootball
      2 months, 15 days ago

      Ahh just logged on 3 mins too late and lost 0.2 in TV and 0.1 in lost revenue
      Do I go ahead or go sour grapes and leave it as is
      Or just want for another price change to force my hand again. ( Roger's or gyok)

            It's almost like that other MOD TM is back from OZ and we have to suffer censorship like little bitty children being told off from school for critical thinking that does not conform to mainstream ideology.

            1. Pumpkinhead
              • 11 Years
              2 months, 15 days ago

              I don’t know what this is about but isn’t this a bit too much for a fantasy football website?

              1. The Night Trunker.
                • 2 Years
                2 months, 15 days ago

                Probably, but when you are the wrong end of it, you may want to rub those old family war medals and think about the sacrifices they actually stand for.

        2. Mozumbus
          • 4 Years

          Thanks dear

      3. Jet5605
        • 11 Years
        2 months, 15 days ago

        Is Mateta a sell with the fixture turn or worth keeping for Pool at home? My other strikers are Haaland and Gyok

        1. iFash@FPL
          • 1 Year
          2 months, 15 days ago

          He’s first on my bench.

          1. Jet5605
            • 11 Years
            2 months, 15 days ago

            Was thinking the same but a price drop seems likely given the fixture turn

            1. iFash@FPL
              • 1 Year
              2 months, 15 days ago

              I’m keeping. He plays mostly 90 minutes, on PKs and should now be the CPL top-dog with Eze’s departure and Sarr’s injury.

              A possible price is only a temporary setback.

      4. Dynamic Duos
        • 12 Years
        2 months, 15 days ago

        Which combo is best here?

        A) Gabriel and Richards
        B) Timber and VDV

        1. Jasoooooooo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          2 months, 15 days ago

          Gabriel and Richards. Concerned about Timber suffering from rotation soon.

          1. Dynamic Duos
            • 12 Years
            2 months, 15 days ago

            What about Chalobah and Tarkowski?

            1. DavvaMC
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 4 Years
              2 months, 15 days ago

              Like the Chalabah pick does he have any competition for starts?

              1. Dynamic Duos
                • 12 Years
                2 months, 15 days ago

                Dont think so , nailed on atm

      5. GoonerSteve
        • 16 Years
        2 months, 15 days ago

        My Chalobah only has 9 defcons?

        1. mixology
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          2 months, 15 days ago

          What a pick. A Cucurella downgrade may be on the cards

      6. ☈☾
        • 8 Years
        2 months, 15 days ago

        Who to play?

        1. Guehi v LIV (H)
        2. Gudmunddson v BOU (H)
        3. Reinildo v NFO (A)

        1. Dynamic Duos
          • 12 Years
          2 months, 15 days ago

          2

        2. iFash@FPL
          • 1 Year
          2 months, 15 days ago

          Really? I’m on Guehi; he might want to show LIV why they should get him in January. Gud is on my bench.

          1. TiAgoFPL
            • 6 Years
            2 months, 15 days ago

            Isn't that move confirmed yet

            1. iFash@FPL
              • 1 Year
              2 months, 15 days ago

              Not to my knowledge. The deal just fell through this summer.

      7. DavvaMC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        2 months, 15 days ago

        Would you wildcard the below.now or perhaps wait for GW8 and beyond, and take a hit to bring in Haaland.

        Sels
        Williams / Munoz / VDV /Andersen / Rodon
        Salah / Semenyo / Reiinders / Rogers / Xavi
        Pedro / Watkins / Mateta

        1. DeSelby
          • 3 Years
          2 months, 15 days ago

          I wouldn't WC that. I already took a hit to bring in Haaland. Probably will TC him.

          1. DavvaMC
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 4 Years
            2 months, 15 days ago

            So wait until GW8 perhaps to wildcard?

      8. Jinswick

        Save FT and Haaland(tc)?

        Sels
        Porro, Milenkovic, Rodon
        Salah, Rogers, Reijnders, KDH
        Haaland(c), Watkins, Wood

        Dubravka, Diouf, King, Esteve
        Bank 0.3m, 2FTs, all chips

        1. The Night Trunker.
          • 2 Years
          2 months, 15 days ago

          For me I would address the double Villa and Forest (Gump).
          Wood out
          Sels out
          Then -4 to take out Watkins or Roger the Dodger.

          1. Jinswick
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            2 months, 15 days ago

            Yeah likely last week for them. Makes sense to keep for SUN and FUL I think.

            1. The Night Trunker.
              • 2 Years
              2 months, 15 days ago

              It looked good on paper to be fair, but Sun. and Ful. actually feels like tough nuts.

      9. Jet5605

        Who is the highest rated def for gwk6?

        1. The Night Trunker.
          • 2 Years
          2 months, 15 days ago

          Dan Burn in my estimation.

          1. Dynamic Duos
            • 12 Years
            2 months, 15 days ago

            V Arsenal, obvious really my bad

            1. The Night Trunker.
              • 2 Years
              2 months, 15 days ago

              Well I know it was obvious really, but the Def Con is still being ignored by cape wearing idiots, even this late in the day.

              1. Dynamic Duos
                • 12 Years
                2 months, 15 days ago

                I was thinking Tarkowski v West Ham i know he doesn't do Defcon but its a great fixture

              2. Dynamic Duos
                • 12 Years
                2 months, 15 days ago

                Burn on 30 defcon points, go troll somewhere else

                  Okies, glad to help.
                  Just a little afterthought though,; what happened today, might not necessarily happen tomorrow. GL!

      11. TKC07

        Who is everyone's 8th attacker pick on WC?
        4.5-5-ish FWD or 4.5-5-ish mid?

        Who are better options?
        A) Stach 5
        B) KDH 5 (YC ban coming soon)
        C) King 4.5
        D) Guiu (just for budget, no returns)

        1. JAC THE CAT
          • 12 Years
          2 months, 15 days ago

          I have C but much prefer A if budget allows.

      12. TiAgoFPL
        • 6 Years

        I've got Stach and KDH on wc4 and rotate them

        1. The Night Trunker.
          • 2 Years
          2 months, 15 days ago

          What?

          1. TiAgoFPL

            Reply fail of the comment above

          Nice!

          Both look good value.

        For those this week who are doing the Haaland upgrade.

        What midfielder are you downgrading Salah to?

        1. The Night Trunker.
          • 2 Years
          2 months, 15 days ago

          I would of put the question better as all are not necessarily downgrading Salah to fit him in.
          But I get the vibe.

          1. JAC THE CAT
            • 12 Years
            2 months, 15 days ago

            Are you bringing him in this week?

            1. The Night Trunker.
              • 2 Years
              2 months, 15 days ago

              I've never had that problem actually.

                You already have him or don’t want him?

                1. The Night Trunker.
                  • 2 Years
                  2 months, 15 days ago

                  Sorry I was not clear; yes I have owned him from the ofsett.

            Good moves but I do still like VVD.

              Yeah so do I but Sensei is more than matching him atm

            That could be the most classic FPL bite you in the bum suicide moves that you will enjoy for the foreseeable.

              Good one

                I wasn't even trying to be smug or funny as it is perfectly fathomable that could transpire, and as you probably know it always seems to manifest itself in reality when you actually do the shite.

        3. Punned It
            2 months, 15 days ago

            Thinking Gravenberch or Kudus. Then just gradually spread the cash around. Can't see any more expensive mids screaming Buy me! exactly (already got Semenyo).

            I'm surprised more people are unable to fit both. I can have a team like this even with both. Is it because you want 6m defenders?

            Pope Dubravka
            Tarkowski Senesi Andersen Reinildo Rodon
            Salah Semenyo Ndiaye Dewsbury-Hall King
            Haaland Gyökeres Pedro

              Sorry Richards instead of Reinildo.

          Salah Guiu Aina> Haaland Reijnders Gvardiol(-4)??

          1. The FPL Units
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            2 months, 15 days ago

            I think Caicedo would be better pick.

          2. JAC THE CAT
            • 12 Years
            2 months, 15 days ago

            Not sure on Reijnders, is he a long term pick for you?

          Haaland tc v bur?

          1. JAC THE CAT
            • 12 Years
            2 months, 15 days ago

            It’s a yes from me.

          2. The Night Trunker.
            • 2 Years
            2 months, 15 days ago

            Absolutely not, Burnley are a congested wall.
            There are better fixtures than that upcoming.

                • 2 Years

                Toffees.

            Yes.

          Thank you Robert Sanchez for your -3 points on my bench boost.

          Game of skill, yeah right….

          1. JAC THE CAT
            • 12 Years
            2 months, 15 days ago

            Only positive is you might now get rid of him soon and never have him back.

            1. el polako

              Yeah.

            Highlight of my week was not owning him and enjoying the pain of people that do. I won't lie.

            1. el polako
              • 8 Years
              2 months, 15 days ago

              Appreciate your honesty, must not doing great though if that’s your highlight.

            I'm right with you good sir. Probably get a solid 2 pointer overall now on Bench Boost

        7. JAC THE CAT

          2 months, 15 days ago

          Very interested to watch Man City today and in particular Foden.

          I’m thinking Salah, Gakpo and Mateta to Mbeumo, Foden and Haaland.

            Smack a mole in full force tonight I see.

          • 11 Years

          Anderson the highest scoring player in the team currently. Need a big haul from semenyo, Watkins and Haaland c today.

          1. JAC THE CAT
            • 12 Years
            2 months, 15 days ago

            3 decent players player's left that could go big…

            Good luck!

              Thanks bud, need it. I’m currently on 11 points from 8!

                I am 13 from 7 so a similarly awful GW for me. Sold Gakpo and Johnson last night for Ndiaye and Kudus, not hanging on to rubbish players for weeks on end.

            You will get diddly from Sem as I have double New defence and Sem is last on me bench, but don't worry as the other two may well deliver.

            1. SpaceCadet
              • 11 Years
              2 months, 15 days ago

              I hope Sem smashes your double ds to oblivion

              Semenyo (c) here also, good luck!

              Hopefully it’s a tired Newcastle arriving on the South Coast this afternoon.

                I,very done 60 hours of strenuous work since those chumps were kicking a bag of wind around for 90 minutes and I feel relatively OK.

          Start Wood (h) to Sunderland or Paqueta @ Everton in GW6?

          Both looking like duds atm.

            • 2 Years
            2 months, 15 days ago

            I was thinking about it and struggling to answer so in all honesty transferring them out asap, even if it means hits, is my answer.

        10. Kno
          • 14 Years

          Okay to save a transfer with this gang? Mateta vs pool is not optimal but could get a cheeky pen.

          2 questions

          Palmer and Dango to Kudus and another mid worth a hit?

          Which other mid would you bring in?
          A)Zubimendi
          B)Ndiaye
          C)Stach
          D)Bergvall
          E)Caicedo

            I have Bergvall and Zubimendi.

            Stach for 5.0 looked great yesterday.
            But KDH, PM Sarr or even Garner are good picks if you need to save 0.4.

          Hey guys!
          I have tough one, would you FH next week, or just get Haaland in and TC him??

          Raya
          Gabriel-VVD-Senesi-Andersen
          Salah-Gakpo-Semenyo-KDH
          Gyökeres-J. Pedro

          Dubravka, Mateta, Munoz, King

          2 FT so i could fo Salah&Mateta to Haaland&Xavi etc or just FH. What do you think????

          Well, no injuries this week so far at least. Although the reason for that is half my team started on the bench and have no points either! I knew this week looked bad on paper but wow!
