    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?

      Yes too risky

    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??

      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

    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

      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

      Manzambi?

    2. Bleh
      • 9 Years

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

    Haaland captain up next with a sprinkle of MGW.

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

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

    1. Bennerman
      • 8 Years
      22 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

      Unlucky! What did you go with?

      1. el polako
        • 9 Years
        2 mins ago

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

    2. Jordan.

      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

    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

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

            Agreed, will see how many mins he gets tomorrow.

    A or B here?! Currently on A.

    A) Gabriel, Mbeumo, Kostoulas, Lief Davis

    Kinsky
    Gvardiol Calafiori Hall De Cuyper
    Palmer Rogers Cherki Groß
    Haaland Pedro

    Matthews Szoboszlai Konsa Wissa

    A) Roll
    B) Wissa to Solanke
    C) Szoboszlai to Manzambi

  14. Tinmen

    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. 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. I’ve gone sour on the Cherries!

  17. How are new Bruno and Saka owners feeling?

    1. Lost for Wirtz
      11 mins ago

      …in order to captain them?

    2. DandyDon
      • 8 Years

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

      1. 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

    Which transfer would you prioritize?

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

    B) Ødegaard to Gross

    Apart from Fernandes which other player would you sell from this team

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

    2 FTs 0.5 ITB WC

    Any ideas would be appreciated
