    Trossard rested or injured?

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      6 months, 7 days ago

      Odegaard started his first game in a while, so Trossard was competing with Eze for the LW, and lost. Then he won again by replacing Eze for the second half. Then he got injured in the match and is a doubt for tomorrow (same calf injury as he had before)

      1. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        6 months, 7 days ago

        So the conclusion is we have no clue who out of Eze and Trossard will get the most minutes against WOL?

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          6 months, 7 days ago

          Eze as LW didn't work so well, so we could see Martinelli or Trossard starting instead, but it was only one game and Villa are a bogey team for Arsenal. Wait and see who gets the minutes tomorrow and if we learn more about Trossard.

  2. Feanor
    • 17 Years
    6 months, 7 days ago

    Which 2 defenders to start along with Timber?

    Munoz
    Tarkowski
    Senesi
    Esteve

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      6 months, 7 days ago

      Tough buy I think my order of preference would be Esteve>Tark>Munoz>Senesi, but I could easily be convinced to put Tark ahead of Esteve

  3. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    6 months, 7 days ago

    Is Welbeck the most benchable of this lot? Anything else to consider at this juncture?

    Dubravka
    Virgil O'Reilly Andersen
    Saka Fernandes(c) Mbeumo Cunha Foden
    Woltemade Thiago(v)

    Petrovic | Welbeck, Senesi*, Munoz*

    3FTs. 2.5 ITB

    Saving the remaining FTs seems sensible unless there are injury developments. I could upgrade the defence (i.e. get an Arsenal defender), but Senesi has Burnley at home next week, so maybe delay that as I don't lose money if he drops 0.1. I also don't lose money on Mbeumo dropping, but if he is confirmed out, would you find a replacement this week or play Welbeck and wait? I'm not sure about Rogers tbh, but maybe Rice is the comfort blanket I need.

    1. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 9 Years
      6 months, 7 days ago

      Deulo, I already used 3ft. And will most probably use the other 2 before deadline to get Rice over Saka so I can afford Raul punt. Great fixtures, on pens.
      Chase the upside now, waiting and playing safe rarely brings big rewards.
      Yes, Welbeck to bench 😆

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        6 months, 7 days ago

        Yo Salalalalalalah! I wish I'd played it safe this season! No Haaland is killing me. I'm constantly shooting from the hip with a scatter-gun, missing the target with every pull of the trigger.

        Losing faith in the alternative forwards, but oh my lord I didn't know about Raul's fixtures until you told me. Don't tempt me to repeat my mistakes. But I could just do Welbeck/Wolte to Raul.... Hmmmm. Thankfully he has only scored 2 goals this season, so I might be able to talk myself out of it. But then maybe just sell Wolte for Raul's fixtures, then reverse it in GW19. Dammit Salalalalalalah!

    2. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I’d want an Arsenal defender this week - EO for their defence will be so high it will damage your rank if they get their likely CS, and Timber’s a good long-term pick if you can get to him so I wouldn’t wait

    3. z13
      • 1 Year
      6 months, 7 days ago

      You should probably buy a Norwegian striker

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        6 months, 7 days ago

        Josh King plays in Saudi now, unfortunately

    4. The Florentine assassin
      • 3 Years

      I think keeping some ft's for a rainy day is very sensible. You can take a punt with all 5 just because you can and end up regretting it. The game is always full of what ifs. I think Welbeck is the most probable safe player to bench in you team yes. I have him as my 1st choice sub as well (i own both Welbeck & Minteh), i just bought Welbeck this week for GW16 in preparation for GW17/19 for Pedro who has been nothing but a pain (Pedro was my 1st choice sub and he came on for Munoz to get me another 1pt score ). I am only using 1 ft this week/ 2 next week GW17 in my TC game week . GW 18 for my free hit & 2fts in GW19 when i use my bench boost. I have Timber but i would not be surprised if the Arsenal defence without Gabriel leaked a goal or 2 even against Wolves. My captain choice is Thiago this week as he had a fair few shots against spurs and i think he will score 2 against Leeds 🙂
      However now that i have got rid of Pedro i would not be surprised if he popped up with a hat trick 🙁

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        6 months, 7 days ago

        Thanks for your nice response! Using your FT this week with the future in mind is smart. Though I am worried about Welbeck's gametime moving forward, so he seems a bit of a risky buy this week. I think my main choice right now is going to be whether to punt on Raul, but I'm leaning very slightly away from it at the moment. I can use transfers and rotation to get a good attack each week, evolving my team for the future, without spending 2 transfers on getting Raul in and out. Cheers!

  4. Stimps
    • 12 Years

    Anyone punting on Raul for next few fixtures?

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      6 months, 7 days ago

      Probably 🙁

      1. Stimps
        • 12 Years
        6 months, 7 days ago

        I feel you. Might get an assist or two.... Is he on pens?

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          6 months, 7 days ago

          According to My heart goes Salalalalah, FFS's Set Piece Takers and my hazy memory, yes. But that hasn't helped him score more than 2 goals this season. He hasn't taken one in prem since May (2 against Ipswich according to https://www.transfermarkt.com./raul-jimenez/elfmetertore/spieler/206040)

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      6 months, 7 days ago

      I'm going Wilson

    3. FPLamateur
      • 1 Year
      6 months, 7 days ago

      Yeah for me

  5. hazza44
    • 13 Years
    6 months, 7 days ago

    Gakpo for? (will likely get the other next week)
    A. Bruno
    B. Saka

    1. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 months, 7 days ago

      Definitely Saka

      1. The Philosopher
        • 5 Years
        6 months, 7 days ago

        But he's going to Afcon?

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          6 months, 7 days ago

          Amazing Footballers' Conference?

    2. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      6 months, 7 days ago

      A. I could be swayed, but right now I think Bruno is better this week. Bournemouth generally poor defence away from home. Bruno better chance of DCs. Saka hasn't been on fire this season, with Fernandes having significantly better PPM. Saka could also see reduced minutes (especially compared to Fernandes) with the opportunity to rest him for Madueke. If Saka gets decent time-off tomorrow, then I would probably switch to him, or it would become 50/50.

  6. Underdogs11
    • 5 Years
    6 months, 7 days ago

    Anyone playing fantasy ucl? Do you know if Raphinha is starting for Barca?

  7. Kane Train
    • 11 Years
    6 months, 7 days ago

    Which one would you rather have ?

    A) Rice
    B) Bruno G

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

      Well, I've got Bruno G but still no Rice despite having an Arsenal slot.

      So I guess it's B.

      He's been one of my favourite picks for weeks but always something more pressing to do.

  8. FPLamateur
    • 1 Year
    6 months, 7 days ago

    Find it mad how many people are getting Foden in ahead of Palace away. I’m certain he blanks that week but obv WHU fixture after looks good.

    1. Studs Up
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 months, 7 days ago

      50% chance of being right, or wrong... depends how u look at it

    2. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      6 months, 7 days ago

      Find it more mad people are advising other people to get Foden before Palace away.

    3. The Florentine assassin
      • 3 Years
      6 months, 7 days ago

      Agreed , however they might be doing that to safe guard against any future price increase but i will be bringing him in for GW17 along with Lacroix if nothing changes

    4. Haa-lala-land
      • 5 Years
      6 months, 7 days ago

      Sorry but Foden is on fire at the moment
      Palace defence is not Arsenal, they conceded 3 home to Bournemouth only a few weeks ago
      Foden is a better captain option than Haaland as it stands.

  9. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 months, 7 days ago

    £0.5m itb and hmmmm 5 FTs...

    Which 2 do you lose first?

    Raya Dúbravka
    Chalabah O'Reilly Romero Senesi Mukiele
    Saka Mbeumo Semenyo BrunoG Reijnders
    Mateta Haaland Thiago

    1. FPLamateur
      • 1 Year
      6 months, 7 days ago

      Reijnders and Mateta to Foden and Guiu

      1. The Philosopher
        • 5 Years
        6 months, 7 days ago

        Get Foden before Palace away?

        1. FPLamateur
          • 1 Year
          6 months, 7 days ago

          Not for me but will need him for WHU

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

            Cheers

            I'm considering it but feel a little late to the party

            Also looking at Ekitikie and KDH, with him first sub for the next two.

            Then Mbeumo to Foden if I lose Romero to a cheaper defender like Richards should work.

    2. The Florentine assassin
      • 3 Years
      6 months, 7 days ago

      Senesi has been getting a fair amount of DEfcon but not much else and he is potentially injured so him (even if GW 17 is burnley), and i may sound crazy but i think you should bring in Guehi if you can afford the 5.2million as i think he might get a clean sheet against Man Chitty and then the next one is hard because Mbeumo will be playing against bournemouth before AFCON and he might do something , Mateta might do something but his minutes will be reduced in prep for the different competitions, Reijnders has now found the net and might go on a mini scoring run.
      I can say for you to keep Raya/Chalobah/O'Reilly/Saka/Semenyo/Bruno G/ Haaland & Thiago so it would be out of the others.
      Mukiele is not really going to allow you to bring anyone better in for that price of 4.2million so hes probably a keeper as well.
      So 1 definite sub Senesi OUT & Guehi In if affordable or Lacroix/Richards if not
      Mateta GW17 potentially for Wolternade/Welbeck/Bowen & then Mbeumo for B. Fernandes.

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

        Cheers

        I've been tempted by Guehi

        But need to raise some £££ for the midfield I think

        The fact I'm priced out on G has put me off other Palace defenders

        Had Munoz at the start but lost him on WC6

        Had him for FH14 tho

      2. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 months, 7 days ago

        Bowen is a possibility but I'm leaning towards Ekitike for the next 4 then a switch

        Thanks for your considerations

        1. The Florentine assassin
          • 3 Years
          6 months, 7 days ago

          Yes Ekitike is a defo at somepoint. I am bringing him in on GW18 if not before, but still depends on minutes with regards to Isak.
          I just checked recently and Gakpo has turned red, unknown when he will be back but he was also on my GW18 radar

  10. Snoopydog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 1 Year
    6 months, 7 days ago

    GTG (pending pressers)?

    Dubravka
    Timber Chalobah Esteve
    Saka Bruno(F) Foden Rice Bruno(G)
    Haaland Thiago

    Petrovic DCL Guehi Acheampong

    1.0 itb

    1. FPLamateur
      • 1 Year
      6 months, 7 days ago

      Who you captaining ?

      1. Snoopydog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 1 Year
        6 months, 7 days ago

        Now that's the question. Tempted by Saka or Rice as captaining Haaland all the time is getting boring.

        1. FPLamateur
          • 1 Year
          6 months, 7 days ago

          I’m going Saka but would go Bruno F if I had him

          1. Snoopydog
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 1 Year
            6 months, 7 days ago

            Bruno not a bad call - Wolves may be as good as it gets though?

    2. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 months, 7 days ago

      Very good

    3. The Florentine assassin
      • 3 Years
      6 months, 7 days ago

      I would say you look good to go but for your Captain option you might also want to consider Thiago as i think he might score a couple against Leeds

      1. Snoopydog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 1 Year
        6 months, 7 days ago

        Yep. That's a very nice home fixture.

  11. THFC4LIFE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 months, 7 days ago

    Teams in free fall, down to 480k. How do these 5 moves looks?

    To

    Andersen Hincapie Bruno Foden Thiago

    Cheers

    1. Snoopydog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 1 Year

      Like Hincapie, Bruno, Foden and Thiago. Andersen good shout for next 3 GWs.

    2. Haa-lala-land
      • 5 Years
      6 months, 7 days ago

      I think Bruno is a risky buy. Everyone will want him after his haul and Andy LTFpL having him, but it was Wolves, the worst team we've ever seen. A lot of 2-4s before that. Afcon losses will affect him. Maybe hold off just one week, Semenyo or Minteh vs leaky Liverpool, and reassess next week.

  12. Haa-lala-land
    • 5 Years
    6 months, 7 days ago

    Im looking, but I think I might burn a transfer this week

    1. Haa-lala-land
      • 5 Years
      6 months, 7 days ago

      Sels
      Hall Ballard Cash
      Cherki Foden Palmer Barnes Dango
      Thiago Bowen
      - Roefs Haaland De Cuyper VDV

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      There must be improvements somewhere

      1. Haa-lala-land
        • 5 Years
        6 months, 7 days ago

        Hall or VDV to Keane Lewis Potter is one. Hopefully should get in the line up, with Schade suspended this week, and then Dango leaving next.

    Should I move Mbeumo out? Wouldn't he be good vs Bournemouth?

  14. jonnybhoy

    What to do? Really tempted to go with H Wilson. 2FT 0.6 ITB

    Raya
    Cash Timber Richards
    Bruno Saka Bruno G Enzo Foden
    Haaland Thiago

    Dubravka Senesi Gudmundsson Guiu

    A) Enzo to H Wilson/KDH
    B) Roll
    C) Something else

    1. Haa-lala-land
      • 5 Years
      6 months, 7 days ago

      Wilson is good, or Cherki

  15. FPL Sanky
    • 2 Years
    6 months, 7 days ago

    FH good to go?

    Raya
    Timber Cucurella Andersen
    Saka Dango Rogers Chukewueze Wilson
    Haaland Thiago

    Likely Saka or Timber captain

    1. The Philosopher

        Cheers, fun looking FH draft...I m liking this as well...let's see how it goes

    3. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 months, 7 days ago

      I’m half thinking of going without Haaland but probably unnecessary. I’d have about 1 itb

      1. FPL Sanky
        • 2 Years
        6 months, 7 days ago

        I was thinking the same but I feel my draft has enough differentials and no need to go totally crazy and go without Haaland

        For sure I won't be captaining Haaland

  16. frenchfries

    Anyone considering Dorgu or Heaven as short term option for cheap defenders?

    1. Stranger Mings

      Yes dorgu
