    What’s latest on Rice & Semenyo?

  3. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    4 months, 29 days ago

    Let's hope Gvardiol can nail down that LB spot

    1. Captain Mal
      • 1 Year
      4 months, 29 days ago

      Practically a second striker.

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      4 months, 29 days ago

      what a shame

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      4 months, 29 days ago

      interesting transfer. cherki and doku on the wings for city have mainly been about chance creation, semenyo changes that with his goal threat. probably will have a knock on effect elsewhere, maybe not on haaland but time will tell

    3. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      4 months, 29 days ago

      Do we hold him for 4 City players?

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 months, 29 days ago

        Do we want 4 city players? Fixtures are mixed and they were far from their best tonight

        1. FPL Blow-In
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 months, 29 days ago

          Probably be awhile before he nails down a spot and will now always be a rotation risk. Cherki a non option now also right? Foden to move back central?

  5. Qaiss
    • 10 Years
    4 months, 29 days ago

    It’s surprising to see people so bothered about price changes in a season where all the heavy hitters (apart from Haaland) are doing nothing

    1. Captain Mal
      • 1 Year
      4 months, 29 days ago

      That's what I was saying the other day. Price changes have been great this season. Many people confuse FPL with Monopoly(the richest wins), making suboptimal moves for team value's sake, which is great news for the rest of us.

      1. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        4 months, 29 days ago

        I buck this trend by having both low team value and low points

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      4 months, 29 days ago

      "You can control team value, but not points"

      George Washington, 1776

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 months, 29 days ago

      What if Palmer starts banging under a new manager?

      1. Qaiss
        • 10 Years
        4 months, 29 days ago

        Then it’s Saka to Palmer

        Or if a bit short of money, find a cheap 4.0m defender instead of a 4.5 one. Hardly going to ruin a season

        1. Casual Player
          • 5 Years
          4 months, 29 days ago

          There are multiple nailed 3.8 defenders, plus at least 3 guys priced at 4-4.2 at teams in the top half of the table. Abundance of riches

    4. Casual Player
      • 5 Years
      4 months, 29 days ago

      Yeah agree

      I was guilty of jumping on a few guys early to avoid double/triple rises but don’t really see much difference between having say 102M or 105M this year.

      It’s probably been at least 3 seasons now where prices are fairly inconsequential

    5. FDMS All Starz
      • 10 Years
      4 months, 29 days ago

      It’s probably more to do with being priced out with maybe 1 transfer where if they allow price rise, it will take 2/3 transfers to bring in the same players, regardless if premium players performing or not

  6. One for All
    • 7 Years
    4 months, 29 days ago

    Current team:

    Verbruggen
    Chalabah, Ruben, Anderson
    Saka, Foden, Minteh, Cunha
    Thiago, Ekitike, Haaland

    Dubravka, Gudmundsson, King, Burn

    1FT 1mil ITB

    Wildcard or not?

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 months, 29 days ago

      It doesn’t need it but I hit mine too

      My non wc team will do well the weekend

      1. One for All
        • 7 Years
        4 months, 29 days ago

        I'm tempted lol need to get rid of King, Burn, Thiago, Foden . Just a mess.

        1. FPL Blow-In
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 months, 29 days ago

          You don’t need to WC to get rid of Foden or Thiago

  7. Pointless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 months, 29 days ago

    Who’s better to bring in for Rice?
    a) Bruno G
    b) Morgan Rogers

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 months, 29 days ago

      B

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      4 months, 29 days ago

      rogers for the explosive potential . rice's issue didnt seem too serious though tbf

  8. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    4 months, 29 days ago

    What to do as a semenyo & non gabriel owner with 1 Ft? Can afford vvd to gabriel but surely semenyo wont play this gw?

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 months, 29 days ago

      Iraola said he would but who knows

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        4 months, 29 days ago

        Sounds like cpuld b city playet by then

        1. FPL Blow-In
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 months, 29 days ago

          You’d imagine City would want him at Bournemouth for the Arsenal game albeit risk of injury

    2. Drizzle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      4 months, 29 days ago

      Semenyo has to go I think. Either take the hit or make peace with not having Gabriel for 2-3 GWs and that he'll be 6.8/6.9m by then.

      1. Drizzle
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 2 Years
        4 months, 29 days ago

        I'm 50/50 between these btw

      2. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        4 months, 29 days ago

        Yeh do vvd/semenyo to gabriel plus gordon/trossard

        1. Flynny
          • 11 Years
          4 months, 29 days ago

          Think I'm taking a hit

          Semenyo and oreilly to gabriel and mid up to 7.2. Maybe cherki- but he may not be nailed due to Semenyo move

          1. Stranger Mings
            • 5 Years
            4 months, 29 days ago

            Cherki looks best semenyo replacement

  9. Do I Not Like Orange
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 months, 29 days ago

    Which of these moves would you prioritise for the weekend?

    A) Lacroix > VdV
    B) Thiago > DCL

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 months, 29 days ago

      Do you need to make either?

      1. Do I Not Like Orange
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 months, 29 days ago

        I can't see Lacroix getting me points anytime soon & he feels like a waste of 5M+

  10. Gudjohnsen

    A. Gudmundsson

        looks good but is wc necessary? dgws etc still to come.

        1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
          • 9 Years
          4 months, 29 days ago

          Usually use my secons wildcard early. Didn't even get 11 players out this GW!

      2. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Looking good mate!

          Cheers!

      3. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 months, 29 days ago

        Few risks due to unknowns.

        1. How does Chelsea manager situation impact Chalobah and Palmer
        2. How does Semenyo impact Cherki mins
        3. Why would you not go for 3 Arsenal if on WC - Chalobah to Timber

        1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
          • 9 Years
          4 months, 29 days ago

          1. Can't imagine those two not being nailed, whoever the manager is

          2. Yes, he's clearly a risk, but willing to take it

          3. Much prefer Rice as my third when available
          I think Timber isn't worth spending 6.4M for? Arsenal have 9 CS compared to Chelsea's 8.

          1. FPL Blow-In
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            4 months, 29 days ago

            1. Agree. I am more talking about the impact other form. They’re not on a great run and if it is indeed Rosenior that comes in, I’m not sure he will get the bounce required. Fixtures may breed form though
            2. I’d jus get Rice instead of Cherki now then with good bench cover and save yourself a transfer
            3. I disagree. I think he will outscore all mids and forwards at 6.4 and Chalobah by a good chunk

      4. Shteve
        • 16 Years
        4 months, 29 days ago

        Nice team. Cherki could come in for some rotation with Doku back and Semenyo signing..

        1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
          • 9 Years
          4 months, 29 days ago

          Yep, it's a bit risky!

      5. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        4 months, 29 days ago

        If you have 1.2 ITB why get Obi? I have Thiaw and I want to get rid. Newcastle haven’t kept a CS since GW7. I think you need double Arsenal defence. I don’t like Palmer as a pick.

        1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
          • 9 Years
          4 months, 29 days ago

          Obi because I don't want to play more than two strikers anyways.
          Not sold on Thiaw tbh, but I don't want another Arsenal defender. Any other suggestion as Thiaw replacement? Because I can't see anyone that I want

    9. Pilgrim62
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 months, 29 days ago

      What you think is the best pair of goalkeepers (WC)

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years
        4 months, 29 days ago

        pickford and dub

        1. FPL Blow-In
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 months, 29 days ago

          This or Verb and John

      2. Boberella
        • 9 Years
        4 months, 29 days ago

        I’ve gone Pickford and Dub

      3. teddy.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        4 months, 29 days ago

        Sanchez + Verbruggen

      4. Mr. Sitter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 months, 29 days ago

        Pickford & Dub

    10. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      4 months, 29 days ago

      What would do with Thiago?
      Could bench this week but ain’t solving the problem…Is Bowen actually worth it? Sounds quite pricey for his output.

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 months, 29 days ago

        Shift towards 352/442 rotation imo. Haaland and Ekitike/Watkins/Bowen

        1. Atimis
          • 9 Years
          4 months, 29 days ago

          Yeah, 3 up front was big mistake…

      2. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 months, 29 days ago

        I would downgrade Thiago to a very cheap forward and buy yourself an extra premium defender.

        1. Atimis
          • 9 Years
          4 months, 29 days ago

          Not stupid actually

          1. FPL Virgin
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            4 months, 29 days ago

            Wasn't meant to be. There are loads of defenders I want but no forwards.

      3. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years
        4 months, 29 days ago

        Don't think Bowen is worth it as a forward. Hit double digits 0 times this season. DCL, fodder plus change is what I'm thinking

    11. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      4 months, 29 days ago

      Saka or Haaland captain?

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 months, 29 days ago

        Haaland for me with no manager or Caicedo

      2. Richm
        • 4 Years
        4 months, 29 days ago

        Agree unless Pickford gets a price rise.
        Need money for Gabriel next week

    12. Richm
      • 4 Years
      4 months, 29 days ago

      Raya to Pickford this week or wait a week?

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 months, 29 days ago

        No panic to do it this week

    13. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      4 months, 29 days ago

      Do I need to WC this team or keep for now?
      Already did Wilson to Rogers

      Raya, Dubravka
      Timber, Dorgu, Thiaw, Guehi, Gudmundsson
      Saka, Szobo, Foden, Rogers, Xhaka
      Haaland, Igor Thiago, Woltemade

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 months, 29 days ago

        Just tried to make a wildcard draft

        Goalkeepers and defence was easy.

        Rodgers was the only midfielder I liked. Haaland was the only forward I Iiked. Couldn't fill the other 7 spots.

        1. The Big Fella
          • 9 Years
          4 months, 29 days ago

          I am also struggling with other attacking options outside of those two

        2. Hutchiniho
          • 7 Years
          4 months, 29 days ago

          Bruno F
          Ekitike or Bowen

          I’m happy with BrunoG

          Who are your GK/DEF?

    14. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      4 months, 29 days ago

      Thoughts on switching to a 352??

      VVD, King, Thiago to Gabriel, Rogers, Mane (-4)?

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 months, 29 days ago

        I think 352/442 is the way to go

    15. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 months, 29 days ago

      This is my current WC draft. Opinions appreciated, thank you.

      Verbruggen
      Gabriel, Timber, Gvardiol, Thiaw
      Saka, Foden, Rogers, Gordon
      Haaland, Watkins

      John, KDH, Mukiele, Kroupi .1itb

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years
        4 months, 29 days ago

        Generally like it. Why Verbruggen? Have we got any idea of when KDH is back?

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

          KDH was orange flagged last gw, hopefully we get an update but easily the best 5th mid imo if/when fit. Don’t need him for awhile so kind of happy to go early and not waste a ft.

          Verbruggen just the best if the 4.5s and John has whm when Verbruggen plays city. I don’t want to pay 5.5 for Pickford when you can get Keane at 4.8 with defcon potential and goal threat and Tarkowski for the same price

            KDH isn't back until mid January.

              Where did you see this Virg?

        Looks good. Like the Gvardiol pick. Seems a good time to jump on him.
        Would prefer Bruno G to Gordon which could maybe get a better Gk than Verbruggen?

          I’ve looked at this but no keeper really jumps out other than Pickford and you can get Keane for 4.8. It’s a tough one

          1. Boberella
            • 9 Years

            Roefs isn’t the worst option at 4.8. Would prefer him to Verbruggen. Victor won’t be nailed for long either with Sels back so Roefs/Dub seems a good combo.

              Sels has been back awhile though and John has kept him out of the team. Yeah, I can do Verbruggen and Mukiele to Roefs and Alderete which may be the better option

              Thanks

      Which one?

      A. Cherki, Andersen, Kelleher
      B. Bruno G, Konsa, Areola

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        B is better than A imo but not a fan of either

        I also own the keepers from the 2 worst defences in the league and will be playing Dubs

      5.7 Raya vs 5.5 Pickford?

      Keep Raya

    19. One for All

      Wildcard draft:

      Verbruggen
      Nunes, Gabriel, Hall
      Gordon, Cherki, Saka, Rogers
      Ekitike, Bowen, Haaland

      Dubravka, Garner, Mukiele, Gudmundsson

      How's this wildcard draft look guys?

      Thanks

        I like it

      2. Hutchiniho
        • 7 Years
        4 months, 29 days ago

        Like it.

        Similar to what I would do
        I’d have Bruno G over Cherki

        Don’t understand the Brighton keeper’s attraction

        1. One for All
          • 7 Years
          4 months, 29 days ago

          Thanks guys I can switch Gordon to Bruno maybe Verbruggen to Vicario?

      Chances Keane will be fit for Sunday?

    21. Boberella

      Here’s my WC so far.

      Pickford (Dub)
      Gabriel Cash De Cuyper (Mukiele Dorgu)
      Foden Cherki Rogers Bruno G (Rice)
      Haaland Bowen DCL

      4.1 in the bank, so Foden/Cherki/Rice could be Palmer to upgrade Def, but not sure on Palmer this week and need to know more on Rice injury and see if Semenyo impacts Cherki etc.

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 months, 29 days ago

        Look at De Cuypers mins. Not nailed.
        Don’t get Utd defence.
        Rest is good, not gone on Bruno G but just me

        1. Boberella
          • 9 Years
          4 months, 29 days ago

          Yep. Dorgu and De Cuyper could be anyone really. Might move Dorgu to double Sunderland def with Alderette and upgrade De Cuyper to Timber/Gvardiol if I do the Foden > Palmer move.

          Bruno G is for the 3 home fixtures in next 4, then re-assess.

      2. Ray85
        • 8 Years
        4 months, 29 days ago

        Would downgrade Foden and then upgrade De Cuyper to maybe Tarkowski.

      Do we think VDB starts for Brentford or has he lost his place?

    23. Keane There Dunne That

      To fund Gabriel:
      A) Cunha -> Rogers
      B) Wirtz -> Rogers

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 months, 29 days ago

        Sell them both for Rogers and play with a 14 man squad if you can :lol;

        Wirtz considering Cunha has Leeds

      2. Ray85
        • 8 Years
        4 months, 29 days ago

        Wirtz

    24. Stimps
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 months, 29 days ago

      Thiago -> DCL?

      1. Ray85
        • 8 Years
        4 months, 29 days ago

        No

    25. Ray85
      • 8 Years
      4 months, 29 days ago

      Is Szoboslai worth a FT to Paqueta or anyone in that price bracket? Too expensive for limited points and no defcon.

    26. FCSB
      • 10 Years
      4 months, 29 days ago

      Raya
      Hall VVD VanHecke
      Wilson Cunha Foden Rice
      Thiago Ekitike Haaland

      Dubravka Minteh O’Reilly Dorgu

      1FT, 1.0itb

      What to do here please??
