    At least it's a good week to have a bad week

    1. Fifa las vegas
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Depends how tomorrow goes though, I’m worried

    2. Not again Shirley
      1 month, 15 days ago

      There’s more to life dan diss.

  2. DeSelby
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Was it just the one VAR disaster today or did I miss some? Sport's effed.

    1. Not again Shirley
      1 month, 15 days ago

      I was an advocate of VAR when it first came out. Now I would rather it wasn’t here!

  3. Do I Not Like Orange

    10pts (-4) from 6 players. I think that's wildcard time.

    1. Supersonic_
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Same. Although it was always the plan to do it around he here to prepare for a BB.

      I need to bring Gross in just so he stops scoring

    2. Bushwhacker
      1 month, 15 days ago

      It’s a bad week for everyone

  4. Hughes Your Daddy
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Well done agent Muñoz, knew you wouldn't let us down.

    1. JT11fc
      1 month, 15 days ago

      On the bright side everyone else was a let down too

  5. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Not too sure if anyone would believe I had Gross and Thomas in my playing 11. Decent week.

  6. JT11fc
    1 month, 15 days ago

    What a weird gw haha, Barry returns, Van Hecke returns, I benched Arsenal defence, and everyone else blanked.
    Glad I slept through it

    1. JT11fc
      1 month, 15 days ago

      And still got a tiny green arrow

    2. Not again Shirley
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Annoyed Barry didn’t get his 2nd goal. Another poor VAR decision imo.

      1. JT11fc
        1 month, 15 days ago

        Glad I missed that too, had too many of those, annoying

        1. Not again Shirley
          1 month, 15 days ago

          Johnson apparently interfering with play even though went in off post and keeper nowhere to be seen. Shocker really.

  7. el polako
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Best mids on WC

    Gross, Schade, and then what?

    Bruno, Saka, Palmer?

    Rogers, Szobo?

    Seems like each week different players returning.

    1. JT11fc
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Feels like a season to be patient, so competitive

    2. Stimps
      1 month, 15 days ago

      I like King's next 3

    3. Not again Shirley
      1 month, 15 days ago

      At the moment Palmer seems very poor value for money. Would actually rather Bruno at the moment even though very expensive. Roger’s probs covers Palmer for 2 mill cheaper. Villa MF seems decent. Manzibi. Gakpo possible good shout too.

    4. F4L
      1 month, 15 days ago

      would make sure you have szobo

    5. SalahFingers
      1 month, 15 days ago

      I like Rogers, Szoboszlai, BrunoF/Saka/Palmer, Gross, and then maybe Schade, but who are you gonna bench each week?

    6. el polako
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Thanks guys.

      Just really frustrated with my team and don’t have Schade and Gross who seem such great value.

      1. SalahFingers
        1 month, 15 days ago

        As do most of us. Unfortunately half the game will buy at least Gross this week, so whether he does well from here on in is not as good (still enables you to buy more expensive guys elsewhere though so I'm getting him now).

    7. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Saka Bruno/Mbeumo Rogers Gross Tavernier ... will be a long weeks of thinkering with Schade may get a spot

    8. Blueface
      1 month, 15 days ago

      I don't see the value in Szlob, Bruno or Palmer, personally. Last 2 are v expensive and misfiring (and Palmer hasn't been trustworthy for 2-3 seasons, for various reasons). Szlob also doing nothing, in a dodgy LIV team (and I'm a LIV fan). I have him and Bruno but getting rid on WC.

      Best options IMHO are: Rogers, Gross, Saka, Tav, Schade, King

      Maybe's are: Barnes, KDH, MGW, Semenyo, Mbuemo, Ode

    9. Stranger Mings
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Bruno.and rogers

    10. have you seen cyan
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Hard to say with the IB. But If I had to pick a WC team right now, it would be this:

      Gross, Schade, Barnes, Palmer, Rogers

  8. ididnt
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Schade and Groß on my bench for MGW, Saka and Rogers is destroying my mental health

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Oh dear

    2. Bushwhacker
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Logical

  9. Dynamic Duos
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Tzolis to Groß?

    1. PogChamp
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Go for it. Brighton have a few tricky games but I think their fixtures are pretty kind

    2. Stranger Mings
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Yes

  10. F4L
    1 month, 15 days ago

    at least murillo just about jammed defcon at the end

    tarkowski was the chosen one (in terms of defcon CBs). fair play to any that went there, what a huge start to the season he's had

  11. SalahFingers
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Tzolis to Groß is a no-brainer right?

    Brighton scoring so many goals, I gotta get on the train.

    1. SalahFingers
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Derp. It was asked 2 posts up... and probably 1000 times today so far. Sorry all.

    2. Gubby-Allen
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Does Gros play any international football or start or get a break for a few weeks?

      1. leo_messi
        1 month, 15 days ago

        No

      2. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        1 month, 15 days ago

        No but too long a break could get a domestic accident 😉

        1. Benedict_Alexander_Arnold
          1 month, 15 days ago

          For a moment I thought you said domestic incident

      3. SalahFingers
        1 month, 15 days ago

        He has not been called up to Jurgen Klopp's 44 man squad for Germany, so he gets a rest.

  12. Flynny
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Hi. Would you hit wildcard here? If so pressing tonight before saka / gross rises

    In 2 minds - but think I should. No idea yet who id bring in - thanks

    Kinsky verbruggen
    Calafiori maguire ajer egan davis
    Bruno mbeumo szob kdh (sangare forest)
    Haaland pedro dcl

    1. SalahFingers
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Eh, it's almost template if you did 1-2 transfers, so I personally wouldn't wildcard.

      I am in a similar boat to you but I'm going to wait until there's injuries or some problems that 1-2 transfers can't fix. Every team is all over the place right now. People buy chelsea and arsenal and they all blanked.

    2. Atimis
      1 month, 15 days ago

      WCed with similar team, don’t think I would be able to ride my luck beyond this week

    3. Bushwhacker
      1 month, 15 days ago

      That’s a lot of United

  13. have you seen cyan
    1 month, 15 days ago

    These IB always upset the rhythm of the PL. Such a long one too. I don't think you can confidently say that the in form teams will remain in form when the PL restarts. Its almost like starting the season a fresh. I get why people would play the WC over this break, but honestly, feels like stabbing in the dark IMO.

    1. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Not sure IB is the best time to WC either. Used to be 10 years ago but no material prices rises to chase. I will FH in GW9 and then WC in GW10 when we settle into a better understanding of teams/players. Everyone is knee jerking all over the place right now.

    2. Esraj
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Fair point. The week after the international break is generally a low scoring week, with most players looking very tired.

    3. Dank Squid
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Many GW 3 wild carders have been stumbling. GW 4 WC wasn't easy. GW 5 has no rhythm, so far. Post-IB, will it be better/easier? Maybe not. "Plan for the best, prepare for the worst"

  14. F4L
    1 month, 15 days ago

    gross would need just 4 ppg for the rest of the season to get 180, crazy. just hope from here on out he can manage 4.5, would take him to basically 200, blimey

  15. Atimis
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Pitty I didn’t play Verb over Kinsky but still nice to see Gomez and Ajer points before WC

  16. el polako
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Considering Pascal Groß is German maybe he should re think his celebration.

    1. Bobby Digital
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Woke nonsense

      1. Over Midwicket
        1 month, 15 days ago

        Says the one

  17. Il Capitano
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Hall bumped up to 3 bonus

    1. Over Midwicket
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Bonus monster.

    2. Harper_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Season saved

  18. The FPL Units
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Thomas and Vuskovic points waving from the bench.

  19. EffPeeEll
    1 month, 15 days ago

    weeks that begin smelly often continue in the same vein.
    Consequent knee jerk / rage reactions often make things worse.
    Stay calm, trust the recent wildcard?

    1. Dank Squid
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Yes, trust. Anomalies exist, random things can and will happen, but the odds are low - recent wildcard is beyond this GW

  20. leo_messi
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Dedic to who for max 5.3 M?

    I thought about De Cuyper but I have Verbruggen already and don't know if I want to double up Brighton defence. The fixtures are still tough plus CL games after a break... Hall maybe??

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Silva or Schuster

    2. Over Midwicket
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Vuskovic or Silva

  21. ViperStripes
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Aargh worst on WC 2 weeks ago was ditching Gros. Aargh FFS.

    1. Il Capitano
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Lost Schade and DCL on WC4, Szob and Isak have some catching up to do tomorrow

    2. Dank Squid
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Benching him (double hauls missed) is possibly even worse than ditching/not owning

  22. Weasel51
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Odegaard + Isak >> Saka + Barry/Gonzalo tonight before the rises?

    Leno
    Hall Konsa Califiori
    Palmer Rogers Gross Odegaard
    Haaland JPedro Isak

    Kinsky Williams Slater Mendy

  23. el polako
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Rookie question.

    If I take a hit tonight, I can reverse it by activating WC later right?

    Don’t have head space to do all the moves but want to jump on Groß before his price increase.

    1. SalahFingers
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Yes. Wildcard will remove the -4 hit if done in the same week.

      1. SalahFingers
        1 month, 15 days ago

        Here's a quote from the rules page/chips in game: "Wildcard All transfers (including those already made) in the Gameweek are free of charge."

        1. el polako
          1 month, 15 days ago

          Thank you pal.
          Thought so.

  24. Assisting the assister
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Did Sangare to King. Really wish I got Gross now. Guess too late to change now.

  25. The-Red-1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Awful week so far. 30 odd with just Bruno and Haaland (c) to go

    1. el polako
      1 month, 15 days ago

      14 with only 3 left to play.

  26. ViperStripes
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Would you get rid of Palmer or Szbo to bri g in Gros?

    1. Harper_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Lol

    2. Assisting the assister
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Szoboszlai out of those. Could backfire but hasn’t yet

    3. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Szobo yes pool tough NXT 4 and he is basically an expensive gross

      Palmer depends on who you want to captain

  28. Lost for Wirtz
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Tzolis drop imminent. Would you get Barnes or Tavernier. Newcastle have the fixtures…

    1. SalahFingers
      1 month, 15 days ago

      eh. Barnes maybe.

  29. Dynamic Duos
    1 month, 15 days ago

    17 with 6 left, Haaland(c), Cherki, Gakpo, Szoboszlai and Gvardiol, need Liverpool and City to go big tomorrow

    1. SalahFingers
      1 month, 15 days ago

      You are probably in a better situation than most.
