    43 from 9 is a good score this week, but wrongly losing that KDH assist and the Wissa pen miss are very annoying

    Plus an unlucky MGW blank after burning him in for BrunoF.

    1. SalahFingers
      1 month, 15 days ago

      very good score IMO unless there's some massive scores from the usual players tomorrow.

      Just saw the goal, was it a Tarkovski goal instead so KDH gets an assist?

      1. SalahFingers
        1 month, 15 days ago

        Flashscore says Barry goal, Tarkowski assist, but I dunno.

        1. SalahFingers
          1 month, 15 days ago

          but yeah, KDH took the corner.

          1. SalahFingers
            1 month, 15 days ago

            oh nevermind the corner was nothing to do with it. It was a Tarkowski shot and it just hit Barry. The goalkeeper punched it out, so couldn't have been anyone else.

            1. SalahFingers
              1 month, 15 days ago

              Lol I need to read. I see now that you are talking about the SECOND goal that was disallowed.

              It's very obvious it was a KDH corner and Barry hit it in (no other touches). I don't see why it was disallowed tbh, but then I'm not a ref.

        Nah Barry redirected the Tark volley with his chest. Looked intentional too.

        Btw congrats on your amazing season. 5k is incredible!

          Thanks, autosubs will take it to 10K and tomorrow will make it worse. Luck will run out sooner or later.

    Luka Vuskovic or Maxim De Cuyper?!

      De Cuyper for me...far more goal threat and cheaper.

    Still waiting for them to find that 1 Defcon for Gabriel down the back of the sofa…

    ?Gross called up to National squad?

    1. SalahFingers
      1 month, 15 days ago

      No. He was not named in Klopps 44 man squad.

      1. Freshy

        Thanks Jurgen
        I will bring him in tonite

        thought Gross was Austrian.......

  5. Dank Squid
    1 month, 15 days ago

    MGW last on my bench one week ago - open sea, no Internet, unable to sub him in. Now, Groß 2nd on my bench, deliberate choice. "FPL is life"

    Low-scoring weeks (congrats Feanor) are the best, so many actions/reactions

    1. SalahFingers
      1 month, 15 days ago

      My Bench: Verbruggen (6), Thomas (9), Gomez (8), Ballard (didn't play yet).

      Verbruggen was 7 points about 10 mins ago. Not sure where the point was removed, but it doesn't affect me.

      1. lilmessipran
        1 month, 15 days ago

        Same

      2. Dank Squid
        1 month, 15 days ago

        GW 1 bench boost, 9 points. GW 2, 3, 4 and 5, more points on the bench. Long season, though, chips and some single GW scores can make it easier but picking the right players (your bench is great and I guess the rest of your team is also great) means more

  6. thegaffer82
    1 month, 15 days ago

    10 points with 4 to play here. Can only laugh!

    1. Dank Squid
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Unpredictable so far. 4 to play, anything is possible. I'll laugh if my 4 all have red cards, minimum 3 game suspensions, when the GW ends

    2. g40steve
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Bet it’s a solid team just luck

    Don't you just love FPL - Last week both pen outcomes screw me over, Gross goal and Le Fee miss giving everyone points when my Arsenal defender off injured.

    This week Wissa misses when he's in my team. 0/3 on outcomes

  9. TafOnTour1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Is Bruno Fernandes still worth it do we think, guys?! Wildcarding as we speak, and thinking of wildcarding him in...yay or nay?!

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

      Of course. He offers a captaincy option in gameweeks 8 and 10 especially AVL(H) who are his favourite opponent

    2. Supersonic_
      1 month, 15 days ago

      I might go there, I have money tied up in palmer

    3. TheBiffas
      1 month, 15 days ago

      I'll be having him on WC

    4. theplayer
      1 month, 15 days ago

      If you're set on getting him on WC, wait til he drops to 11.9 as he's 93% towards a drop.

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

      Not sure till gw14 . Tough or bad fixtures for most part. Depends if you fancy palmer and chelsea. Guess wait till we get news on joao pedro. Or you swerve both palmer and bruno and permacap Haaland

  10. Dynamic Duos
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Tzolis to?

    A) Groß
    B) Manzambi
    C) King

    1. Stimps
      1 month, 15 days ago

      King

    2. TheBiffas
      1 month, 15 days ago

      A

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

      B is a no.

      Like A,C obviously but gross eo nxt 2 weeks his eo will be crazy. Too risky for me and now he is playing at 10

      I would say get A and King maybe through some other route if you have any leave him out

  11. TheBiffas
    1 month, 15 days ago

    On wildcard

    a) Gvardiol, Szoboszlai
    b) De Cuyper, Rogers

    Cheers

    1. Dank Squid
      1 month, 15 days ago

      b

    2. Dynamic Duos
      1 month, 15 days ago

      A

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

      Not szobo so B

    4. RICICLE
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Actually feel A offers more

    5. Big Mike
      1 month, 15 days ago

      As long as De Cuyper keeps his place when Mitoma returns from injury, B.

      1. Warby84
        1 month, 15 days ago

        I’m pretty sure he will

    6. Stranger Mings
      1 month, 15 days ago

      B

  12. davewg59
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Is Gross worth buying tonight?
    3 weeks ib is a long time tho. Teams on form may lose their form?

    1. RICICLE
      1 month, 15 days ago

      I don’t own but I can’t really see the point in jumping on him now, points are gone and like ya say 3 weeks is a long time, anything can happen, and what happens when Mitoma & Hinshelwood are back fit? It’s all a bit of an unknown.

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

      I have sangare so is a easy sell tonight and have 3 free transfers and a decent enough squad with only cherki and szobo other potential issues but defense is strong NXT week

      So depends on the team. He is not in the German squad so I would say get him in if it's for obvious moves like sangare

    3. el polako
      1 month, 15 days ago

      In the season in which Leicester City were flying I’ve made a mistake of not jumping on Mahrez and Vardy because surely the points „are gone”

      Brighton look the real deal, not making the same mistake again.

  13. TafOnTour1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Emiliano Buendia or Johan Manzambi?!

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

      Not sure better options out there.

      Wait and see for both

  14. Supersonic_
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Verb

    Cal Gvardiol De Cuyper
    Bruno Gross MGW Szob Tav
    DCL Haaland

    Leno Konsa Gonzalo Bogle

    Current WC with plan to BB GW7

  15. Stranger Mings
    1 month, 15 days ago

    Best 5 mid wc6 - bruno, rogers, palmer, gross plus ?
    Currently thinking tav or barnes?

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

      Think would get tavernier in over barnes

      1. Stranger Mings

        Ok cheers alrrady own

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Schade has to be considered now. I’d go Gross, Schade and Tav to be honest. With Rogers plus one of the premiums

      1. Stranger Mings
        1 month, 15 days ago

        Ok cheers

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

        Agree both bruno and palmer is a bit too much

        1. Stranger Mings
          1 month, 15 days ago

          Thanks dropped cole

      3. Blueface
        1 month, 15 days ago

        This. Saka as the premium, IMO.

        Palmer, Bruno, Szlob, MGW, Semenyo...all seem poor value in this v unpredictable season.

        I'm getting rid of Bruno and Szlob on WC.

        1. Stranger Mings
          1 month, 15 days ago

          Cheers now got schade tav bruno rigers gross

    3. #1 Arne Engels Fan
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Not a chance in hell I'd have Palmer on WC.

      Looks back to his best individually, but this Alonso system + Neto as RWB stifles his creative freedom massively

      1. Stranger Mings
        1 month, 15 days ago

        Ok thanks

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

        Caicedo will be back though. Due to his absence he had to do more work deeper in midfield. Still think would prefer chelsea's fixtures over utds and due to price difference palmer over bruno. If one defaults to Haaland permacap then can swerve both palmer and bruno

        1. #1 Arne Engels Fan
          1 month, 15 days ago

          I don't think it has anything to do with Caicedo's absence tbh - I think Alonso is just a "system over individuals" manager. He builds around getting the best of the system, not of the players that are in it.

          Watch how many times Palmer is open through the lines waiting to receive it on the half turn when they play. I lost count vs Brentford

          Instead they just ignored him completely, kept passing it sideways and recycling the ball either across the back 3 or out wide to the wingbacks and tried to manufacture crossing opportunities - at which point Palmer was usually sat back towards the half way line or standing outside the box waiting for a slim chance the clearance possibly falls his way

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

            Get that part but palmer did say he gets lot of freedom now to drift around after the Fulham match.

            The analysis and my observation after the matches was that he formed a 3 with the midfield pivot and had to play deep most times last few matches.

            As you say he does look sharp and produced killer passes yesterday. Joao pedro being back is a big factor too

            1. #1 Arne Engels Fan
              1 month, 15 days ago

              Easy to get space to drift around against Fulham.

              Realistically though there are 18 teams better than Fulham in the league. Your observation is the same as mine, though I'd add he doesn't drop as deep when Neto isn't playing RWB. When Neto roams forward, Palmer drops into the right side of that pivot you mention to cover - which happens a lot.

              Neto went off vs Brighton and Palmer scored shortly after. Compare that to the other flank and the LWB doesn't get forward anywhere near as much as Neto, making Rogers the better asset and the cheaper one. No need for both

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

                Yh get your reasoning for rogers but it's more cause gusto or mainly hato played there. Also I have seen rogers drop to the middle too. Yesterday chavaria made a lot of runs fwd and with pallestra back the dynamic could change after the international break

                I do think rogers is a very good asset and value wise is better than palmer but palmer mainly is for his explosive hauls/pens and previous fpl track record. And with money not that tight with cheaper assets like gross,konsa,Decuyper offering more than their prices feel 9.5 is not bad for a xfactor player with decent fixtures mid term

          2. Stranger Mings
            1 month, 15 days ago

            Pedro better than cole

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

              If fit pedro is a must have. He is playing like a 10mil striker and is so underpriced

        2. Stranger Mings
          1 month, 15 days ago

          If pedro back will do rogers/ pedro

  16. Nightf0x

    Verb (kinsky)
    Cala konsa egan neco (ewjik)
    Ode bruno palmer schade (slater)
    Pedro haland (dcl)

    Currently on a -4, g2g (ofc bearing any updates in the intl break) or play the WC ?

    1. Big Mike
      1 month, 15 days ago

      Looks good overall but I wouldn't have Neco. Maybe Hall or Vuskovic.

      1. Nightf0x
        1 month, 15 days ago

        I had 9.1 only got egan & neco, cant fit in hall & vuskovic no i have verb already, im thinking of a WC as this 2 transfers i was forced to do so shipping out shaw hume also to BB gw7

      2. Nightf0x
        1 month, 15 days ago

        Was thinking of ajer thiaw neco cunha & imo all of them will concede

  17. Big Mike
    1 month, 15 days ago

    I already own Gross and De Cuyper, but am thinking about bringing in another Brighton asset. Which option is best?

    A) Kinsky > Verbruggen
    B) Isak > Kostoulas and then use the money saved to do Odegaard > Saka

    I'm flip flopping between the two. Verbruggen is nailed and will always play but has a smaller upside, whereas Kostoulas has a higher ceiling but is likely to share minutes with David.

    1. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
      1 month, 15 days ago

      I have Verbruggen
      I’ve played wildcard
      My team doesn’t have him now
      So I guess I’m saying ….. go against
      Him

  18. Flynny

      From what I gather, neither tram were great, Coventry with a lucky goal and some great defending with Forest poor on attack with very little big chances

    One question
    One spot on wildcard

    R - Rayan
    B - Barnes
    T - Tavernier

    Rayan would mean downgrading Kinsky to a 4.0 back up keeper (have Raya)

        I was leaning T as my rival has B

        But then thought maybe B could be a proper differential if he wzplodes now he’s fit and a main player

      B or t

    Do we get our transfers back if we WC, right? For example, if I bring Groß in tonight to use my 3 FT. Will I get all 3 back if I WC??
