Lundstram at home against teams in the bottom 10 right now: 14 vs CRY 2 vs SOU 6 vs ARS 21 vs BUR 11 vs AVL Maybe I'll give him a go for the armband.

Who do you think will find form and step up to score big this GW, and why? Maybe someone who hasn't had a double digit score in a while, has a series of no attacking returns, or has very low owner…

What are people's thoughts about Pogba? NEW (H) BUR (A) ARS (A) NOR (H) He made a big difference when he came on vs Watford and he's exactly the type of player Man United need when they can't pla…

Alli is overrated imo, this is his xG for the last 5 weeks. 0.00, 0.16, 0.06, 0.029, 1.55 Besides the 2 goals against Bournemouth (1.55), it's not been great. With Son out and Spurs still findin…

As an FPL manager, is there room for nostalgia? I’m finding myself lured into an Alli captain this weekend, with his excellent record against Chelsea being a contributing factor for this. Is thi…

What we learnt in the runup to Gameweek 18... Happy Friday! No roundup next week in all likelihood - I don't know if pressers are on / when the pressers are so not going to make any promises I cou…

A common strategy employed by many FPL managers, is to double up on attacking assets from one club when they have a good run of form / fixtures. I’ve done it this season with Sterling + David Si…

How best to distribute funds in defence? Liverpool have only kept 3 clean sheets, have tough games ahead and a blank. Lundstram hasn’t delivered recently either. Should we be ditching Liverpool …

The Gameweeks might slow down for a couple of weeks but we're still in need of a new Community Champion. The Scouts have picked up another win in Gameweek 16 with a score of 84-64 thanks to a shre…

Is Jimenez out the right choice? He's dropped from £7.7m to £7.5m. There are plenty of great forward options so maybe it's just too difficult to fit him in, especially with Rashford in such gre…

Morning all! What's everyone's thoughts on Rashford? Going to keep this up, or will he and United struggle against teams who sit back a bit more? On paper the fixtures look nice over Christmas, …

Liverpool would have played 17 games in two months by the end of GW24. Watford home GW17, Wolves home GW20 & Sheffield Utd home GW21 all have rotation written all over them for Salah & Mane etc. …

It was about this time last year that Mo Salah scored a hat trick at Bournemouth and I had what was probably my best gameweek of the season as I captained the Egyptian whilst others were moving him…

What do you think will be the next midfield template? I feel like I'm at a crossroads with my midfield. I have Sadio Mane, Kevin De Bruyne and James Maddison, who are going nowhere. I'm still roll…
