Minimising investment in goalkeepers has long been a popular adage among seasoned Fantasy managers. Year after year, we find ourselves searching for budget offerings who offer the sought-after combination of clean sheet and save-point potential.

The wider meta, however, often runs contrary to this strategy – with premium goalkeepers such as Thibaut Courtois, Hugo Lloris and David de Gea consistently ranking among the most popular players in Fantasy Premier League in terms of ownership.

      I can do it for you. Just need your password and bank details.

      1. Makita
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        bank details? are you jokking?

          • 10 Years

          No, he's a Nigerian prince and also happens to be your cousin

      Bot alert....subliminally trying to convince us all to delete our accounts 😮

    5. F4L
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      did you just create an account with the sole purpose of deleting it?

      1. Makita
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        NO, its just take my time and i cant ignore it. so just want to delete it. but i guess nobody here can give answer without joking. so thanks

        1. F4L
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 25 days ago

          just drop the support team an email if you're that desperate to delete it

        2. Yozzer
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 25 days ago

          I answerd you. If they ignore you as FPL do then send the data protection act to them and demand they remove every bit of info they have lol. If you want it deleting that bad

    6. Squashed
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Get locked up in a maximum security prison. That should help with the deletion

    7. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      You delete the entire premier league account. I done it once. Not easy to find but if you dig, it's there

  3. Alex_thekid

    I've just just realised I can get cest fabregas for .1 more than Zaha
    Who would you have
    A Zaha
    B Fabregas

    1. Over Midwicket
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      A lol

    2. ooooo
      • 8 Years

    3. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Don't get the lols. Zaha isn't all that imo and Cesc has very good fixs.
      Fab for me.

    4. Yozzer
      • 8 Years

  4. My neck my back my Saed Kol…
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 25 days ago

    Cant pick between 2 potential WC teams. Help appreciated!

    A)
    DDG Elliot
    Duffy Moreno Jones Francis Mee
    Salah Richarlson Gross Chupo RLC
    Kane Lukaku Aguero

    B)
    DDG Elliot
    Azpili Jones Daniels Duffy Mee
    Salah Sterling Richarlson Gross RLC
    Kane Aguero Abraham

    1. Sahil Yadav
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      I hope you(we) would be able to choose after tonight's scoutcast 😉

      1. Sahil Yadav
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        But B since it's more balanced

    2. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Personally prefer A

    3. Rash
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Neither tbh as I think it need some sort of chelsea attack.. or A and then switch kaku to morata gw14

    4. RealSocialDads
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      B, agree with Chelsea attack comment though: Aguero -> Morata

  5. E25
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 25 days ago

    Was thinking A this week, but warming to C and then getting Jones for Cedric next week...

    Fabianski
    Azpi Ward Wimmer
    Salah Sterling Richarlison RLC
    Kane(c) Kun Vardy

    Elliott / Cedric A.King Ota
    2FT 1.0ITB

    A) Cedric -> Jones
    B) Cedric -> Daniels
    C) Ota + Vardy -> Dunk/Duffy + Morata
    D) Other...?

  6. ★Kuntheman★

    Still so many issues for Argentina.

    Starting with the manager.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Think you jinxed them tbh.

      • 10 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      That's suprising to hear.

      There are not many big-name coaches managing national teams nowadays, but Sampaoli is definitely one of them. Had great success with Chile and started well with Sevilla. Could you realistically get anyone better?

    2. Yozzer
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      No sympathy for you at all and I mean that ( italy fan)

  7. Duffy Dunk
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 25 days ago

    Do you feel Aguero and Jesus will be sharing minutes (and points) so getting the cheap one is a good idea?

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      I have both but it’s an expensive insurance policy. Will ditch one soon

      1. sminkypinky
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        Which?

    2. Rash
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      You could go for your namesake but I prefer aguero

  8. Sahil Yadav
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 25 days ago

    Which pair?
    A) Dunk+Otamendi
    B) Duffy+Stones

  9. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 25 days ago

    Mark back on the scoutcast tonight?

    1. Jafooli
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      *checks last GW score*

    2. More seriously, Mark is not very well, right now.

      1. Nope. He is still unwell. 😉

        1. Athletic Nasherbo
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 25 days ago

          Great news glad he’s feeling better!

    Hey Debauchy - putting in a huge order for biltong and snap sticks this weekend 😎

    1. 😀

      1. Jafooli
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        Best snack in the world 😀

        1. - have you ever had the Kudu variety? 🙂

          1. Jafooli
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 25 days ago

            Not sure 😀

            To be honest, I rate it all (cuts, dryness, flavours), can eat it all day, everyday.

            1. Yeah, me too. If you are in London, there is a shop under Charing X Station which sell some decent stuff.

              1. Jafooli
                • 13 Years
                8 years, 25 days ago

                I get my from Biltong Direct - https://biltongdirect.co.uk

                It's not quite as good as the real thing in SA, but still very good....

    2. Debauchy
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      lol , biltong still good around these parts , not much else though

      1. Jafooli
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        Best in the world....

        1. Debauchy
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 25 days ago

          yeah , great with a few pints

          1. Jafooli
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 25 days ago

            I eat it watching the football.

            Gnawing on a stick as my striker misses on another sitter 😆

            1. Debauchy
              • 12 Years
              8 years, 25 days ago

              lol, you and I must have the same strikers

    Jonty has been on fire on the scoutcast this year 😀

    What's your favourite Jonty "zinger"?

    1) "You can't run from a loftus cheek."

    2) "Double pivot."

    3) "Magic beans."

    4) "A flair player who has just discovered that Roy Hodgson is his manager."

    1. Yozzer
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      1 because it's true. Not even Chuck Norris can run away from a Loftus Cheek

    2. Gangster Panda
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      ...and the deliberate inability in remembering one of Marks wc beans, Trent Alexander-Arnold, preferring to name him Terence Trent Darby (I have no doubt a 7" single of 'Wishing Well' is in Jonty's vinyl collection)

  12. BJButterman
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 25 days ago

    Is doubling up on CYP/Burnley defenders/goalkeepers a bad idea?

    Pope Serponi
    Mee Dann Azpi Jones Moreno
    Salah Sterling Richarl Mahrez Choupo
    Kane Morata Niasse

    Thanks, a very indecisive FPL first-timer on WC

    1. My Name Is Pepu
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      I would prefer neither of them.

      Instead go for Pope + Eliott and Daniels instead of Dann.

      1. BJButterman
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        That would work, if I could afford it :')

        I messed up selling Elliot, back when I pushed WC and made about a thousand transfers.

        Could do Dann > Duffy, Speroni > Elliot

        Thanks for your reply

        1. My Name Is Pepu
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 25 days ago

          Also, are you really keen on Mahrez? Don't think he's worthy of a WC spot.

          You can instead go for Sane + RLC instead of Mahrez + Chupo which will also fund your moves at the back.

          1. BJButterman
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 25 days ago

            Mahrez is a risk. But, he's improved massively from his slow start.

            RCL is a fair shout, i've had him since GW1, he just never returns.

    2. RealSocialDads
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Burnley good idea, palace bad idea

      1. BJButterman
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        I dunno, I can see woy keeping it tight at the back

    3. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      That's a bold team. Could be massive. Too risky for though.

    4. FPLzebub
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      I like that team although I think that 3 outfield playing subs is a bit of overkill TBH. I'm planning to mini-wildcard with 2FTs and a hit to a similar set up in 2 GWs time.

      1. BJButterman
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        What is an outfield playing sub? I'm new to this game.

          • 10 Years
          8 years, 25 days ago

          Anyone who you put on your bench apart from the GK.

      2. BJButterman
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        That's a good point, as I intend on playing 352

      3. BJButterman
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        That's a good point as I intend on playing 352

        Thanks for your reply

      • 10 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      A Wildcard team can't get much better than this tbh.

      Some would go for Lukaku instead of Morata, Daniels instead of Dann etc. etc., but it's all matter of personal preference.

      Mahrez is a nice differential as well.

      1. BJButterman
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        Yeah, Mahrez is a great diffential for my mini league

  13. RealSocialDads
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 25 days ago

    Play one:

    A. Forster (liv)
    B. Elliot (MUN)

    Bench one:

    1. Abraham (bur)
    2. Kolasinac (TOT)
    3. Kiko (WHU)

    1. My Name Is Pepu
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Elliot, more chance of a 0-0 compared to the Pool game.

      Bench Kola.

      1. RealSocialDads
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        Glad you agree with Kola, who I'm currently on. Really torn between Elliot and Forster, thanks for your help|

    Kun Agüero fainted in the Argentina dressing room and was taken to a nearby hospital, where he regained consciousness and underwent a checkup. [@TyCSports]

    1. Yozzer
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Your fkin kidding me

      1. columbo
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        Easy transfer to Lukaku I guess. Hope all is OK with him

        1. Yozzer
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 25 days ago

          Yer hope so. Sometimes real life is more important.

    2. My Name Is Pepu
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      BAN

      1. columbo
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        Why?

      2. Yozzer
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        Why ban? He's pasting somthing from the internet . Even if it wasn't true which it probably is, he's hardly trolling is he

        1. My Name Is Pepu
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 25 days ago

          It's a joke, FPL Virgin does it all the time.

          1. Yozzer
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 25 days ago

            Ok fair play. My bad

      What's this now...? Beginning to sound comical.

        It's true unfortunately. Aguero owner here ðŸ™

    5. F4L
      • 10 Years

      hope all is well with Kun

    6. Yozzer
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      The worrying thing here is that he passed out in the dressing room and only regained consciousness at the hospital. That is worrying

      1. Debauchy
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        Oh , that is a concern, hope he is ok

        1. Freddo
          • 8 Years

          Would they want him flying home tonight/tomorrow after this?

          1. Debauchy
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 25 days ago

            Would think not, needs monitoring ?

    Rangel named Swanseas new captain after Leon brittons move to player assistant move is he an fpl option now at 4m

      • 10 Years

      No, still won't get minutes.

        Hi man, hope you're doing well. 🙂

        How long till we have you back on?

          • 10 Years
          8 years, 25 days ago

          I am, thanks TFF. 2 or 3 days 😉

          • 10 Years

          Did I miss much?

    1. My Name Is Pepu

      That doesn't affect his minutes, meh.

  16. Je suis le chat
    • 11 Years

    Hirsute goalies the way to go. De Gea has the look of Wolverine and have you seen the matted arms of Buffon?

  17. liiusions
    • 10 Years

    Aguero ðŸ™

  18. No Pirlo No Party
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 25 days ago

    Would you wildcard this lot guys?

    Elliot - Foster
    Otamendi - Cedric - Daniels - Mee - Long
    Eriksen - Sterling - Richarlison - Ritchie - Carroll
    Kane - Lukaku - Vardy

    Or stick and use the 1FT? Maybe Eriksen > Salah or Otamendi > Someone

    1. A.T
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      There's quite a lot of changes you could make there so I probably would wc that, yes.

    2. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 8 Years

      Smash that button young man!

  19. My Name Is Pepu
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 25 days ago

    If at all the Aguero news turns out to be true. I'm better off leaving him as it is.

    Having a decent bench becomes handy in such cases rather than taking crazy hits.

    Hi guys,

    This is my defence as it stands;

    jones - moreno - mee - naughton - long

    I've 0.5m in the bank.

    Any thoughts on what I could do to upgrade my defence ?

    Tnks.

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Naughton to Daniels?

  21. Cornholi0
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 25 days ago

    Would you transfer Jesus and Atsu to Rashford and Zaha for a hit?

    Yes/No

    1. Debauchy
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Wait for Kun to regain conciousness

    2. My Name Is Pepu
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      No

    3. Freddo
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Not now I wouldn't, Jesus has to be nailed on to start at the weekend now.
