    I was dead set on TC Haaland against Ipswich in GW7 but not so sure now. Do you reckon there’s a rotation / minutes risk with the Champs League either side of this fixture? Is Hull at home in GW16 a better shout?

    1. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years

      Yes too risky

      Wait and see. Game tomorrow, more info.

    Gakpo to :

    1. Rogers
    2.Tavernier.
    3. Mbeumo.

    Rest is Palmer--Cherki--Ode--Gross.

    Thanks.

      1. Chelsea scoring goals, Rogers is better than Palmer and also cheaper, still undervalued

    De Cuyper or Hall for Dedic next week??

    1. Stranger Mings

      Hall as easier f8xtures

      De Cuyper if you want the most points mate.

    Benched Pedro and played DCL based on FFS predicted lineups, which boast 90% accuracy. Pedro subsequently played and hauled resulting in a -10pt swing against mine team leaving me with a rank of 840k, where the poorer players reside!

      One transfer used, plus 12 points. Benched Pedro, played Garcia. Enemies seizing the cabbage patch might not be remembered in the history of the world, but we won't give up

      I done the same.. a literal last min swap with Konsa because of the little leak that Konsa starts!

      .. I'm a bit sad to say the least!

    Honestly, it's only the Brighton lads and Calafiori keeping me within touching distance of a decent game week every week.

    Just don't seem to have any consistency across any of my other players. So frustrating

    1. FourLokoLeipzig

      At least you have Brighton players

    From what I read Schade will be out for a few weeks. Have 6.2 ib. Who is the best substitute Barnes, Tavenier or? Have Gross.
    Thanks guys

    1. Hairy Potter
      • 11 Years
      2 hours, 30 mins ago

      Manzambi?

    2. Bleh
      • 9 Years
      2 hours, 27 mins ago

      I also need a Schade replacement. Eying up Gakpo potentially when he returns but Tav looks a shout too.

      1. bso
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        1 hour, 33 mins ago

        Nah…not into Gakpo. Will see what Barnes looks like tomorrow otherwise it’s Tavenier.

        1. Feanor
          • 17 Years
          1 hour, 4 mins ago

          Not much help, but if have 2.5 so I think I’ll get Rogers for him

    Haaland captain up next with a sprinkle of MGW.

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 13 Years
      2 hours, 16 mins ago

      Nice, Haaland, Wissa, Szoboszlai, Cherki and Hall here, currently on 59pts

  8. Absolutely Muñozed
    • 1 Year

    Isak to J. Pedro for free? yes right?

  9. TafOnTour1

    Nicolas Jackson looking awfully tempting as a differential pick here...

    1. Bennerman
      • 8 Years
      2 hours, 30 mins ago

      Probably won'r be a differential by the time myopic 'content creators' spot that he has five home games in next seven, and Villa are obviously underachieving, and espouse his virtues loudly.

      Cue it up – lots of Jackson you-heard-it-here-first incoming.

    How do you cancel your Wild Card?

    Asking for friend who played it and is gutted.

    1. Bleh
      • 9 Years
      2 hours, 30 mins ago

      Unlucky! What did you go with?

      1. el polako
        • 9 Years
        2 hours, 28 mins ago

        Schade, Timber (thought he’s back and nice differential), Tavernier & Silva (should have know better after Alex Scott injury).

    2. Jordan.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      convey to him once the press play w/c is activated one is entering the land of no return and there be demons in the darkness

  11. Bleh

    Barring no more injuries, okay to roll FT with this lot?

    Raya
    Calafiori, Hall, De Cuyper
    Mbeumo, Cherki, Rogers, Gross
    Haaland, Pedro, Wissa

    (4.0, Konsa, Schade*, Davis)

    1. Dank Squid
      • 8 Years

      More than okay

      1. Bleh

        Danke!

        1. Dank Squid
          • 8 Years
          2 hours, 16 mins ago

          Vielmals. Cherki sticks out, risiko, but he's also a differential

          1. Bleh
            • 9 Years
            2 hours, 15 mins ago

            Agreed, will see how many mins he gets tomorrow.

    Folks, should I bring in Palmer for Szobo?

    Or just go someone like Cherki, Semenyo or Barnes and save cash

    Haven’t seen much of Palmer lately to know if he’s essential or not, but feel uneasy not having him

  15. The Knights Template

    Nicolas Jackson looking like an exciting non-trolling option in coming GWs. You heard it here first everybody. Right here!

    With Scott out, Bournemouth could struggle more often than not, which could mean Tavernier has less appeal than before?

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years

      I’ve gone sour on the Cherries!

    2. Haa-lala-land

      I think Bournemouth have been struggling all season even before the Scott injury. Their fans dont seem pleased with Rose at all!

    How are new Bruno and Saka owners feeling?

    1. Lost for Wirtz

      …in order to captain them?

    2. DandyDon
      • 8 Years
      1 hour, 8 mins ago

      Managed to get 68 today despite captaining Saka! Managed to swerve Bruno at least, went for Mbuemo.

      1. The Knights Template
        • 12 Years
        1 hour, 2 mins ago

        Very nice work.

    3. Brought Saka in. Luckily didn't captain!

      The good thing is he can be changed for almost anyone

  18. FPL Emu
    • 16 Years

    Which transfer would you prioritize?

    A) Maguire to De Cuyper (would have to play him over Konsa or Ødegaard)

    B) Ødegaard to Gross

    Kinsky Dubravka
    Calaflori Gvardiola De Cuyper Ajer Thomas
    Fernandes Szobozial Mbeumo KDH Slater
    Pedro Haaland DCL

    2 FTs 0.5 ITB WC

  24. romperstomper
    • 17 Years

    about to take a -8 to reverse my wildcard (which i only triggered cos pedro "injury"). The following will get him back

    dalot -> 4m def
    kostalus -> 4.5 fwd
    DCL -> Pedro

    and all of this because dalot is gonna drop tonight and i'm very annoyed

    1. Stranger Mings

      Do it - i literally just done Diop to him. Been blinded by articles saying he won't keep his place when Minteh or Mitoma back.... No chance, he's one of the most on form players

  27. Danstoke82

    I need to bin off Odegaard. Been useless in my team but who do I replace him with?

    Currently on Palmer, Rogers, Gross, Odegaard

    A. Roll FT
    B. Odegaard > Mbeumo
    C. Odegaard > Saka, and downgrade Isak

    Or any other bright ideas?

    Capped Bruno GW1. United looked utter dross and Bruno wasnt involved going forward at all. Based on United being pure crap I decided not to cap Bruno GW2. We all know how that went. So I decided "Lesson learned. I wont lean on how I think a team looks, Ill pick the statistical/analytics favored pick from now on". United looked poor but Bruno was still the projected highest points scorer in both GW 5 and 6 in my team so I capped him both games. Of course when I chose the analytics option the eye test wins out instead.

    It literally doesnt matter what I do, if I go for the eye test or the analytics pick. Whoever I pick as captain WILL blank. This game is just a joke when you are in the bottom 0.000000001% of luck/variance every single GW every single season.
