    Captain for next gw?

    1. Yes Ndidi
      • 6 Years
      5 months, 4 days ago

      The Robot can't blank twice.

      Can he?

      I went with him this week. Very tempted by Ekitike next.

    2. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      5 months, 3 days ago

      It wjll stay on Haaland for the forseeable future.

    What’s your FH 19 look like?

    Got some gaps to fill

    ???
    Heaven, Dorgu, Hall
    Gakpo,
    Haaland, Ekitike, Woltemade

    1. Punned It
      • 1 Year
      5 months, 3 days ago

      Tinker, tinker:

      Pickford
      Hall, Keane, Dalot, Dorgu
      Cunha, Cherki, Palmer, Wirtz
      Ekitiké, Woltemade

      Not sure who I'm capping yet. On Palmer as of now, but I'm not really sure I want him in my team, a tad too punty. Considering Frimpong for one of Dalot or Dorgu. Want to give going without Haaland a go. Think Sunderland will be hard to breach. Uncertain about Liverpool mid as well, but not really feeling Gakpo. Ramble ramble.

      1. Fifa las vegas
        • 13 Years
        5 months, 3 days ago

        It’s so tough isn’t it! I’m not mad about the idea of both Foden and Cherki in my FH, but with Fodens ownership in the ML I can’t go against him yet and FH is as good an opportunity as any to give Cherki a go

      2. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        5 months, 3 days ago

        Nice, I’m still going Robot too risky for me!

      3. Captain Mal
        • 1 Year
        5 months, 3 days ago

        Wouldn't be interested in Frimpong I think. Wait for pressers and predicted lineups of course, but could be Bradley RB and Szoboszlai RM/RW.

        1. Punned It
          • 1 Year
          5 months, 3 days ago

          Cheers. I'm not exactly sold on any Liverpool player, really, regardless of fixture or position. But figure FH is the place for slightly mad punts. I do realise Frimpong is a bit of a reach.

        2. Fifa las vegas
          • 13 Years
          5 months, 3 days ago

          Hadn’t thought about that even tbh, good point!

        3. Ignasi M
          • 8 Years
          5 months, 3 days ago

          I wouldn't go anywhere near Liverpool's defence. Chelsea (and still Arsenal) are a better option.

      4. Ignasi M
        • 8 Years
        5 months, 3 days ago

        Have you seen Palmer's new girlfriend? Stunning. He's gonna be shattered for the next 6 months, so his form will dip.

        1. Punned It
          • 1 Year
          5 months, 3 days ago

          Ha.

        2. Fifa las vegas
          • 13 Years
          5 months, 3 days ago

          Must admit, I had a google.

          She’s a bit artificial though

          1. Ignasi M
            • 8 Years
            5 months, 3 days ago

            Well, yeah, they all are. But her gym leggings videos...dear lord. You have to respect the labour and work Palmer's girlfriend does on her glides in the gym. dear laws.

            1. Ignasi M
              • 8 Years
              5 months, 3 days ago

              * glutes and *dear lawd

            2. The Knights Template
              • 12 Years
              5 months, 3 days ago

              Is she a good conversationalist?

              1. Ignasi M
                • 8 Years
                5 months, 3 days ago

                Lol. I doubt Palmer is with her for her intellect and conversation. Having said that, I doubt she's with Palmer for his conversation. She's outrageous.

        3. Jigz of The Endless
          • 4 Years
          5 months, 3 days ago

          Not interested in looking- but does that mean we should have him in the England squad? I'd tend to veer that way.

          1. Jigz of The Endless
            • 4 Years
            5 months, 3 days ago

            ** I meant not to have him in the squad

    2. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      5 months, 3 days ago

      Mines an outright mess atm. So torn between finding the balance of not removing too many of my original team for fear it backfires.

      Also in the running for monthly ML prize, so getting the right differentials will win it, but removing the heavily owned could be costly.

      Currently on this…

      Sanchez
      Frimpong, Gabriel, Dorgu (or Dalot)
      Wirtz, Foden, Cunha, Cherki
      Haaland, Ekitike, JP

      Fairly rubbish bench

      1. Fifa las vegas
        • 13 Years
        5 months, 3 days ago

        Want to go Dalot and Dorgu but I’d be shitting it as a United fan! Wolves could do like they just did to Liverpool and did to United a few weeks back.

      2. Punned It
        • 1 Year
        5 months, 3 days ago

        Having Gabriel back is great, but can't really see him getting much points v. Villa on current form. JP not a bad pick, but I wondering if three up front is too much. We have quite a few players in common apart from that.

        1. Ignasi M
          • 8 Years
          5 months, 3 days ago

          Knowing Gabriel, he'll score the winner versus Villa in the 91st minute. The only match winner Arsenal have.

          1. Punned It
            • 1 Year
            5 months, 3 days ago

            Not sure I enjoy your posts, sowing uncertainity and other impishness!

            1. Ignasi M
              • 8 Years
              5 months, 3 days ago

              What match winner's do Arsenal have then? Not Saka (more of a provider) and not...um...who else? The last proper match winner was Alexis Sanchez!

              1. Punned It
                • 1 Year
                5 months, 3 days ago

                It's true. But not sure Gab is up to snuff right now anyway. I think Arteta's getting a bit desperate about his defence.

                1. Ignasi M
                  • 8 Years
                  5 months, 3 days ago

                  Yeah. Troo dat. He'll be starting against Villa though and will come close to at least scoring from a set piece. I really do fancy Gabriel to score a goal vs. Villa, although my hunch tells me it will be a consolation: Arsenal 1: 2 Villa.

                  1. Punned It
                    • 1 Year
                    5 months, 3 days ago

                    I was severely punished for not getting him quick enough earlier on. Think maybe I'll have to stick him in. Cheers, I guess. Imp!

                    1. Ignasi M
                      • 8 Years
                      5 months, 3 days ago

                      hahah yes, I am. But that uncertainty and pain comes from being a lifelong Arsenal supporter. Arsenal, the greatest pr*ck tease in football. I'll be bringing in Big Gabby probably next game week.

    3. tucaoneo
      • 7 Years
      5 months, 3 days ago

      Pickford
      O'Reilly Dalot Chalobah
      Foden Gordon Cunha Wirtz
      Haaland Ekitike Woltemade

      for now

      1. Fifa las vegas
        • 13 Years
        5 months, 3 days ago

        Have Gordon, Rice, Saka in my current team, and all are currently out on FH, feels wrong!

      2. Deer-in-headlights
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        5 months, 3 days ago

        I'm on something similar but Newcastle's current away form is putting me off it a bit.

      3. Punned It
        • 1 Year
        5 months, 3 days ago

        Not bad at all. Had Chalobah in for a bit, mainly cause I've had him all season, but don't see a clean sheet there. Am a bit concerned going too heavy on City.

    4. Odikostar
      • 11 Years
      5 months, 3 days ago

      Cunha for sure

    5. LOS BLANCOS
      • 11 Years
      5 months, 3 days ago

      Victor
      Hall Dorgu Dalot
      Wirtz Gordon Palmer Cunha
      Wolt Haaland Ekitike

      1. Punned It
        • 1 Year
        5 months, 3 days ago

        I like it. I've no love for Gordon, though. I'd rather Guimaraes, even.

        1. Ignasi M
          • 8 Years
          5 months, 3 days ago

          Gordon is a twink lolorama.

    6. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      5 months, 3 days ago

      Some Chelsea on FH would be nice

  3. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    5 months, 4 days ago

    Bench one of:

    A. Dorgu (Wolves home)
    B. Guehi (Fulham home)
    C. Wilson (Palace away)

    1. Yes Ndidi
      • 6 Years
      5 months, 4 days ago

      C

    2. Odikostar
      • 11 Years
      5 months, 3 days ago

      Wilson for sure

    3. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      5 months, 3 days ago

      I think Fulham will score vs totally tired CP

  4. Taegugk Warrior
    • 7 Years
    5 months, 4 days ago

    Chance watkins start..?

    1. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      5 months, 3 days ago

      He will 99%.

  5. Gazzpfc
    • 9 Years
    5 months, 3 days ago

    Semenyo to Cunha for free???

    With Senenyos v hard fixtures and his move to City

    Yes or No???

    1. Yes Ndidi
      • 6 Years
      5 months, 3 days ago

      He proved today he doesn't need to be on the winning team to return decent points. If he moves, then deal with it, but Cunha huffed and puffed a lot last night and blew himself out. I don't think I would

  6. Yes Ndidi
    • 6 Years
    5 months, 3 days ago

    Bit of a disaster going on here. Lost a 40pt ML lead in 6GWs through a mixture of crappy transfers, not thinking things through and sheer bad luck (like him bringing in Grav this week!). Trouble is, it doesn't look like that bad a team on the face of it.

    Dub VDB JPvH KDH

    What to do with 1FT & 2.3mITB

    1. Foden > Palmer
    2. VDB > Gabriel
    3. Something else
    4. Sit on my hands and roll it.

    for context, plan was VVD > Gab either next week after LEE, or the week after, Foden > Palmer if he looks OK & then Cunha or Gordon > Cherki, but these things never really work out as planned

    Thank you

    1. ΒAZEΛOS
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 months, 3 days ago

      I wouldn't do Foden > Palmer. Foden is lively in all games and could easily have had 1+ g/a on either of his blanks.
      If you bring in Gabriel be prepared he most likely be benched again due to fast turnaround, and building match fitness slowly with 20-25min at a time.
      I would roll the transfer if i were you and open yourself up to a number of combinations with 2FTs and money ITB.

      1. Jigz of The Endless
        • 4 Years
        5 months, 3 days ago

        Yep- with a view to dump VVD

  7. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    5 months, 3 days ago

    Keep rogers (ars) & semenyo (che)? Cant afford wirtz or cunha

    1. ΒAZEΛOS
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 months, 3 days ago

      Yes - yes - shame

    2. Ignasi M
      • 8 Years
      5 months, 3 days ago

      Sell Rogers - tough fixtures ahead.

  8. Weak Become Heros
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 months, 3 days ago

    Latest on Timber guys? Im worried with the fast turnaround on GWs. I also own both Hincapie + Timber so would be in a right pickle.

  9. Taegugk Warrior
    • 7 Years
    5 months, 3 days ago

    A. Dalot, dorgu or Lewis potter to transfer in.
    B. Sell Timber or cash..?

  10. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    5 months, 3 days ago

    Any interesting 6.5mid to rotate with HWilson?
    Or rather some def and playing either 343 or 433?

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 7 Years
      5 months, 3 days ago

      better to rotate with a defender. Im currently starting two of Wilson/Lacroix/DCL/Andersen everyweek

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        5 months, 3 days ago

        Maybe James but…

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 months, 3 days ago

      I looked at MUN mid to rotate with HWilson ... came out with Casemiro 😛

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        5 months, 3 days ago

        Been thinking about that, but maybe Dorgu, tho Potts on BB=2 points

  11. Qaiss
    • 10 Years
    5 months, 3 days ago

    Free-hitters this week, are you taking Foden out?

    1. Pilgrim62
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 months, 3 days ago

      I will keep

    2. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      5 months, 3 days ago

      Too scared to. So currently have Foden and Cherki!

      1. Fifa las vegas
        • 13 Years
        5 months, 3 days ago

        He did play well today tbf as well

      2. Qaiss
        • 10 Years
        5 months, 3 days ago

        So many players with a better fixture tbf

  12. Nightcrawler
    • 7 Years
    5 months, 3 days ago

    A truly horrendous gameweek. 37 with just Lacroix and DCL Left .

    50% drop in OR. at least the next gw starts soon

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      5 months, 3 days ago

      Good week to have a bad week.

      Bad week to have a good week.

  13. FC Hakkebøf
    • 9 Years
    5 months, 3 days ago

    I am in doubt on what to do here with 2 FT and 0 itb.

    I suppose I should find a replacement for Ramsdale (as we expect Pope to be back next week, right?), but I also think Woltemade could do really well over the next couple of games.

    Current team:

    Ramsdale
    Timber VVD Richards
    Foden Cunha Semenyo Gordon
    Haaland Ekitike Thiago

    Dub Senesi Mukiele Ba

    Any suggestions from you guys?

    1. ZimZalabim
      • 9 Years
      5 months, 3 days ago

      you could do semenyo to Rice or someone around that price and then get funds for either ramsdale up to Pope or thiago to wolte

  14. ZimZalabim
    • 9 Years
    5 months, 3 days ago

    which would you sell tonight for Cunha ? Caveat being that the other one will go next week for Rogers

    A. Semenyo
    B. Saka

    1. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      5 months, 3 days ago

      Semenyo has 2 bad fixtures, might not even play against Arsenal if he’s going to Man City

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 9 Years
      5 months, 3 days ago

      A

    3. Ignasi M
      • 8 Years
      5 months, 3 days ago

      Saka is actually producing decent point returns. Even if he doesn't score or assist, he still has deacons. Keep Saka.

    4. ΒAZEΛOS
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 months, 3 days ago

      There's certainly a lot of faith in Cunha which i do not comprehend. Creation is at a minimum for Utd without Bruno.
      Nevertheless if you had to, i'd do A.

      1. ZimZalabim
        • 9 Years
        5 months, 3 days ago

        its the next 3 fixtures and expectations of pens that makes him the flavour of the week.

        I think hes worth a 3 week punt

    5. ZimZalabim
      • 9 Years
      5 months, 3 days ago

      cheers all

    6. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      5 months, 3 days ago

      Would keep saka. Every attack went through him today. Unlucky not to haul

      1. Pompel
        • 12 Years
        5 months, 3 days ago

        He's been unlucky not to haul for 18 gw's now. Glad I finally sold for Rice to free some £

  15. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 months, 3 days ago

    Bus team - bench correct here or play HWilson?

    Raya
    Virgil Keane Thiaw Dorgu
    Rice Foden Cunha
    Haaland Ekitike Thiago

    Dub HWilson Stach Gud

    1. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      5 months, 3 days ago

      Start HWilson over Keane

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 months, 3 days ago

        NFO to score you reckon?

        1. Atimis
          • 9 Years
          5 months, 3 days ago

          They are playing better now imo, and HWilson should be against tired CP, tho krakusy my guessing game

          1. Atimis
            • 9 Years
            5 months, 3 days ago

            Some strange autocorrect - tho it’s my guessing game

            1. Magic Zico
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years

              Cheers

  16. donbagino
    • 5 Years
    5 months, 3 days ago

    Senesi or Lacroix. Which 1 to sell and why?

    1. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      5 months, 3 days ago

      Bou being the worst def team along Wolves?

      1. donbagino
        • 5 Years
        5 months, 3 days ago

        Ur right, however Senesi was unlucky not to have some points in last games.

        1. Atimis
          • 9 Years
          5 months, 3 days ago

          True that as well

    2. ZimZalabim
      • 9 Years
      5 months, 3 days ago

      senesi

  17. Captain Mal
    • 1 Year
    5 months, 3 days ago

    Seen it on an X account that posts M. City news.

    "Antoine Semenyo wants his #ManCity transfer completed by January 1.
    Sources indicate Bournemouth may want the forward vs Arsenal and Tottenham ahead of his January 10 release clause deadline, but Semenyo is keen for a swift conclusion with formal steps expected in the next 48 hours."

    1. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years

      Must be nice to support a club that’s organised

      1. Captain Mal
        • 1 Year
        5 months, 3 days ago

        I wouldn't know.

  18. Valar(Keith)
    • 16 Years
    5 months, 3 days ago

    No real fires in my team and got 2 FTs

    Would you do
    Lacroix and Wilson for Gabriel and Rice?

    Current team

    Sanchez (Dubravka)
    LACROIX Anderson Williams OReily (Alderete)
    Saka Foden WILSON (Rogers Anderson)
    Haaland Thiago Ekitike

    1. Valar(Keith)

      Loathe to swap Wilson out but Rice should be back in midfield and looks good for the least effort goals/assists wise 200 points in 38 games in fpl history

    Would you sell Saka on WC?
    Mid could be: Foden Cunha Cherki Gordon Wirtz

    Lads I didn’t watch the MUN…
    Who based on the eye test seems the one to get,
    Dalot or Dorgu?

      Debating this myself. In that match Dorgu played very well and was playing RW, so way more advanced than Dalot. No idea if that will continue. Also he might pick up a yellow and get suspended, but might be worth the risk if he’s going to play RW

      Dorgu played oop, so that kinda skews the pic

    Ended up tweaking my defense into an absolute mess.

    Timber Richards O'Reilly Pau Alderete.

    3 injured. O'Reilly absolutely useless and wastes a City spot. Alderete the last man standing.

    WC Draft

    Sanchez Dubrav
    VVD* Calafiori Nunes Keane Gudmon
    Rice Gordon Cunha Foden* Sboz
    Ekitike Haaland

    *not sure on these. VVD place holder for another Arsenal def once they are past Villa & Pool

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I own VVD for a while a really frustrated, I may not want him on WC regardless the fixtures

  24. tbos83

    FPL's own FDR chart still has Bournemouth as a tougher fixture than Villa. It's woeful.

  25. Atimis

    Any Brighton mid worth consideration?

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years

      Never

  26. bigbudgie

    5 months, 3 days ago

    Sels Dubs
    Timber O Rielly Anderson Truffert Van Hecke
    Saka Rice Foden Gordon Minteh
    Haaland Ekitike Guiu

    Improve this lot with one FT and 0.6 ITB

    Annoyingly can't afford Sels>Pickford so thinking Truffert > Dorgu this week and then Sels Pickford the next

    Or?

    1. Bleh

      Lots going for United defence this week. Looks to be a good plan.

  27. Bleh
    • 9 Years
    5 months, 3 days ago

    GTG? Starting XI and bench order correct?

    Raya
    Timber, Lacroix, O’Reilly
    Foden, Cunha, Semenyo, Bruno G
    Haaland, Ekitike, Bowen

    (Dubravka, Wilson, Mukiele, Senesi)

  28. GS456

    Been on FH so still have Bruno.

    Swap to Cunha or Rogers?

    Thanks

      I went Cunha but may also get Rogers after Arsenal.
