    Best replacement for Raya?
    Got 4.8 to spend so could go Roefs (rising tonight), but also consider Kelleher.

    1. Flynny
      • 10 Years
      3 days, 21 hours ago

      I'd go cheap. Kelleher or verbruggen

    2. Magic Zico

        Tnx both. Kinda prefer Roefs, but not much to set them apart and those .3 could make a difference.

    4. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      3 days, 20 hours ago

      John Victor and cash?

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        3 days, 20 hours ago

        Victor won’t play imo

  2. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 days, 21 hours ago

    Any early ideas for next week?

    Roefs
    Gabriel | Senesi | Andersen
    Saka | Foden | Rogers | Bruno G | Cherki
    Haaland | Bowen

    Dubravka | Dorgu | Gundmundsson | El Kroupi

    2FT

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 days, 21 hours ago

      Saka to Palmer?

      1. ball c
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 days, 21 hours ago

        Yes..
        I would if I could but 0.1m short

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          3 days, 20 hours ago

          Never know Saka may rise and Palmer fall I guess, especially if Palmer blank tomorrow

  3. DBry
      3 days, 21 hours ago

      1ft

      Pickford in for Raya

      Cunha to Rice next week?

      1. Assisting the assister
        • 10 Years
        3 days, 20 hours ago

        Yep logical

    • marcus2704
      • 15 Years
      3 days, 21 hours ago

      Keep Bowen, or move him out for Watkins?

      1. Yes Ndidi
        • 6 Years
        3 days, 20 hours ago

        Keep. Watkins won't get DefCon

      2. Khalico
        • 10 Years
        3 days, 20 hours ago

        In the same predicament, WH are just poor but Bowen is their talisman to produce some goods. Watkins - streaky player, Villa are on it but mins managed I think?

    • Pep Roulette
      • 8 Years
      3 days, 21 hours ago

      Saka to Rice is on

      I think Rice, Gabriel & Timber is the way to go. Too much value there. And with Saka, I'd rather buy Palmer at that price point very soon.

      1. Stimps

        Palmer with his 4 open play goals in 2025

        1. Skogen89
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          3 days, 19 hours ago

          Bukayo Saka tallied 6 goals in the Premier League in 2024-25. (open play)

          1. Brosstan
            • 11 Years
            3 days, 19 hours ago

            Saka being a white pick doesn't make Palmer a good pick

            1. Brosstan
              • 11 Years
              3 days, 19 hours ago

              Shite*

      2. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        3 days, 19 hours ago

        Saka to rice makes sense

    • Captain Mal
      • 1 Year
      3 days, 20 hours ago

      Mali advance to the quarter finals! Heroic performance by Djigui Diarra, saving two penalties!

    • Geriatric Unathletic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 days, 20 hours ago

      Why is Chalobah being so heavily sold. Dropping tonight... Chelsea fixtures improving significantly too.

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        3 days, 20 hours ago

        That Gabriel guy.

        1. Geriatric Unathletic
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          3 days, 20 hours ago

          I get the rush for Gabby but can't see why Chalobah is on the chopping block when there are so many other non performing defenders...

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years
            3 days, 20 hours ago

            1,0,3 in the last 3 and playing City tomorrow don't help along with a caretaker manager.

          2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
            • 12 Years
            3 days, 20 hours ago

            I think it’s a budget issue. Easy one FT way to get Gab

      2. The Knights Template
        • 12 Years
        3 days, 20 hours ago

        Back to the nursing home, old boy!

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Be kind ....

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years

        Only one is guaranteed to play next GW it seems.

        1. Pompel
          • 11 Years
          3 days, 20 hours ago

          Please elaborate?

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years
            3 days, 20 hours ago

            One plays tomorrow.

            1. Pompel
              • 11 Years
              3 days, 20 hours ago

              True, will be a risk to bring in for the sake of saving £0.1

              1. TorresMagic™
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • Has Moderation Rights
                • 16 Years
                3 days, 20 hours ago

                Yep, could end up like Rice and need a transfer out.

                1. Pompel
                  • 11 Years
                  3 days, 20 hours ago

                  Haha, I was actually so close to transfer Rice to Rogers yesterday

                  1. TorresMagic™
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • Has Moderation Rights
                    • 16 Years
                    3 days, 20 hours ago

                    Nearly made a -8 yesterday. Wilson to Rice would have been perfect instead.

    • fedolefan
      • 11 Years

      Van Fecke lost his defcon. Damn it.

      1. PartyTime
        • 4 Years

        Mu ha ha

      2. PartyTime

        Thick arse lying chap spotted! As thick as Judas in the Bible

        1. JBG

          Expected to drop to 9 when FPL updates them tomorrow.

        3. fedolefan
          • 11 Years
          3 days, 20 hours ago

          Are you okay lad? Just lie down for a bit.

      3. Geriatric Unathletic
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Ban :),,,,

    • Atimis
      • 9 Years
      3 days, 20 hours ago

      Initially save FT??

      Dub
      Gab/Timber/Dorgu
      Saka/Foden/Cunha/HWilson
      Haaland(c)/Ekitike/Thiago

      Verb/VVD/Potts/Heaven

      1. TheBiffas
        • 5 Years
        3 days, 20 hours ago

        Yep

        1. Atimis
          • 9 Years
          3 days, 20 hours ago

          Cheers

    • Drizzle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      3 days, 20 hours ago

      With only 1ft is it a no-brainer to just do VVD to Gabriel tonight?

      No other Arsenal defence so feeling very exposed. I could do Ekitike down and one of my 4.5 defenders up for a hit but I'm not going to work that through in time for tonight. So.

      VVD to Gabriel now?

      1. Geriatric Unathletic
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        3 days, 20 hours ago

        Yes, why not...

      2. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        3 days, 20 hours ago

        You could get there another way if your players get injured tomorrow but VVD out was popular before deadline.

      3. Drizzle
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 2 Years
        3 days, 20 hours ago

        Cheers all, I just did it. Feel better already.

    • Emiliano Sala
      • 9 Years
      3 days, 20 hours ago

      Not having a bad season, but too much players I want to sell…
      Most likely going to active it after next gw and ditch haaland too
      Tough fixtures for city

      1. Emiliano Sala
        • 9 Years
        3 days, 20 hours ago

        WC i mean

        1. Sir Michael Taker
          • 11 Years
          3 days, 20 hours ago

          Front 3 of Kroupi, Broja, Mane?

      2. Drizzle
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 2 Years
        3 days, 20 hours ago

        I'm on countdown to it now. Could easily have done it this week. Will try to limp to gw24 if I can.

        1. Emiliano Sala
          • 9 Years
          3 days, 20 hours ago

          Problem is i can’t pick a wc team that I’m really satisfied with
          And unknown situation at chelsea
          But my players are injured and awful too

      3. Captain Mal
        • 1 Year
        3 days, 20 hours ago

        The problem isn't which players to sell. The problem is there are no players to buy...

        1. Sir Michael Taker
          • 11 Years
          3 days, 20 hours ago

          Big pool of players for anti fpl this seaaon

        2. Lanley Staurel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years

          Try harder

        3. Emiliano Sala
          • 9 Years

          Like I said

    • It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years

      Pick three to play:

      and

      C) Guehi (AVL)
      D) Cash (cry)

        3 days, 20 hours ago

        * F) Ekiteke

      2. Emiliano Sala

      3. The Road to Turfdom
        • 9 Years
        3 days, 20 hours ago

        A, C, E but also play Ekitike

        1. Lanley Staurel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          3 days, 20 hours ago

          This

      4. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years

        Ace

    • The Road to Turfdom
      • 9 Years
      3 days, 20 hours ago

      Is this early transfer worth a -4? (2 fts, Exact cash -)

      Raya, Konate (or Hincapie), Saka -> Gabriel, Palmer, Kelleher (or Verb)

      Thanks!

      Rest is Dub
      Tark, Dorgu, Rodon
      Wirtz Cherki Gordon Cunha
      Haaland Thiago Guiu

    • The Reptile
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 days, 20 hours ago

      Timber to Gabriel or go 2 Ars Defence? (Have Saka)

      1. brianutd-why always we? 20
        • 14 Years
        3 days, 20 hours ago

        Both like me

      2. Lanley Staurel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        3 days, 20 hours ago

        5 clean sheets out of last 15 in all competitions. Whats the attraction for 2?

        1. JBG
          • 7 Years
          3 days, 19 hours ago

          Has anyone had more? Genuinely curious

      3. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        3 days, 19 hours ago

        No longer see the appeal of double Ars defence, the points are Gabriel Rice and Saka in my opinion.

      4. Make FPL Casual Again
        • 7 Years
        3 days, 19 hours ago

        Hmm decent chance of 3 Ars cleans in next 5, no other defences look great, throw in 1 or 2 attacking returns for Timber..double defence still looks good

        1. g40steve
          • 7 Years
          3 days, 19 hours ago

          This, Gabs, Timb, Rice

          1. Make FPL Casual Again
            • 7 Years
            3 days, 19 hours ago

            Im old enough to remember a Timber 9 pointer last gw against the leagues form team!

    • Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 days, 20 hours ago

      Looks like Timber and 2 Palace defenders are going down in price tonight.

      1. Captain Mal
        • 1 Year
        3 days, 20 hours ago

        I wonder who they are selling them for...

        1. Lanley Staurel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          3 days, 20 hours ago

          No idea Sherlock

    • I have no Wirtz
        3 days, 20 hours ago

        Is Cunha>Rice or Saka>Rice the better move?

        1. DBry
            3 days, 20 hours ago

            C

        2. Deulofail
          • 9 Years
          3 days, 20 hours ago

            Another year of failure it seems.

        3. Brosstan
          • 11 Years
          3 days, 20 hours ago

          Did raya + VVd to Verbruggz and Gab for -4

          Vvd 17 pointer to ruin the party?

          1. I have no Wirtz
              3 days, 19 hours ago

              A beautiful-4 hit. Anyone questioning the validity of a well executed hit take note.

            O'Reilly to Gabriel
            With the FT
            already have Raya

            1. Atimis
              • 9 Years

              3 days, 20 hours ago

              Need gab some way for sure so if that's the best way, yes

          3. GE
            • 9 Years
            3 days, 20 hours ago

            Did Rice -> Rogers (-4) to make space for three Arsenal-spots for Gabriel 🙁
            Saka -> Rice on the cards or just relax?

            1. I have no Wirtz
                3 days, 19 hours ago

                How about Timber>Rice or Raya>Rice instead?

              • Cruyff's Eleven
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 7 Years
                3 days, 19 hours ago

                I did the same. Rice was flagged. Right decision, unfortunate outcome.

                Arsenal play Liverpool next. Imma relax and see what happens. Rice is low EO.

                But it stings a little. No doubt.

            2. Absolutely Muñozed

                    Dorgu might play RW and Cunha LW tomorrow.

                    Amorim: “I have the feeling if we have to play a perfect 3-4-3, we need to spend a lot of money and we need time," he said. "I'm starting to understand that is not going to happen. So, maybe I have to adapt.”

                      Did Amorim really say that? Those aren't words of someone that has what it takes

                        Pretty sure losing vs 10 men Everton at home, drawing to a woeful WH side and losing a 2-1 lead and then a 4-3 lead at home to Bournemouth and also making this woeful Spurs side look like Barca 08, is more of a sign of someone that does not have what it takes.

                          Nah man, Man United's squad is a mess. You can't fix that within a year

                          Arteta's results 1 year into the job weren't great either, we weren't playing well but the way Arteta carried himself made us believe in him. Every time Man United lose, Amorim is threatening to quit or coming out with crap like that making excuses

                            The squad is a mess, but so is his setup. Which makes the squad even worse.

                      I think someone’s had a word in his ear. Raises alarms too that we’re yet to sign any wingbacks for a system that depends on them.

                    as tempting as it is to do timber to gabriel, I wonder if I should save this gw and possibly following gw too to have 3 transfers and bring rice and gabriel then?

                    or would you do the timber to gab move this gw?

                    Best use of FT?

                    Which Everton defender to buy short of cash for Tark

                    Swap Petrovic to Kelleher

                      I too was short of money for Tark and bought O'Brien... kind of regret it now.

                    Hey guys, just need some opinions on this.

                    Team is:

                    Verbruggen
                    Chalobah - Gabriel - O’Reilly
                    Bruno G - Saka - Palmer - Szoboslai - Foden
                    Haaland - Bowen

                    Dubravka: Mukiele: Gudmundsson: Guiu

                    1FT, 0.0 ITB

                    Like many, I booted Rice out, in GW 19, for Szoboslai. I want him back, naturally.
                    Been taking hits of late but luckily they’ve been paying off.

                    A) Szoboslai + O’Reilly > Rice + 4.7 DEF for -4
                    B) Foden > Rice
                    C) Saka > Rice
                    D) Roll & keep Szoboslai as pen taken for next game, do it for free GW

                      Dont buy Rixe this week.

                        True, just the annoyance and impatience in me wishing I’d never got rid in the first place I guess haha, cheers bud

                      D with Alderete should get you sorted.

                      Another option next GW - especially if O'Reilly gets the full 90 next game and seems to be playing well - is Szoboszlai/Foden to Rice/Cherki

                        Cheers bud! Oh, did you mean play Mukiele over someone in main 11 next GW?

                        Szobos + Foden > Rice + Cherki I like a lot actually, great shout!

                      I mean over the season Saka will score more points than Rice, just a question of how many and given money isn’t a constraint this year….

                    Is Semenyo to Bruno G for free too much of a kneejerk?

                    Pretty set on doing Saka to Rice, the question is when?

                    A. Play a rested Saka vs Pool and get Rice next week
                    B. Get Rice this week itself

                      If Saka scores a brace you're not going to sell him are you?

                    I want Palmer in for gw22.

                    What is the best route to Palmer?

                    A) Foden + Cunha to Palmer + Rice (play 3-4-3)
                    B) Foden + Cunha to Palmer + Cherki (would leave me enough itb to upgrade Thiago to 7.6 forward)
                    C) Thiago + Cunha to Fodder + Palmer (would leave me enough itb to upgrade a defender and play 4-4-2)

                    I am not jumping on the incoming Bruno F. bandwagon.
