FPL Breakfast Club – Episode 4 – Wildcarding

The FPL Breakfast Club returns this morning as we prepare for Gameweek  6.

You can watch the show below or on our YouTube channel from 11:15 am.

Joe will be discussing his Wildcard and no doubt still tinkering as we’re on air, while Az explains why he will remain Eden Hazard-less for this weekend at least.

I’ll (Neale) be joining Joe and Az in David’s absence and fretting on whether shipping Benjamin Mendy out is a wise decision.

There will also be some build-up to the lunch-time clash between Fulham and Watford at Craven Cottage.

The team news will emerge at 11:30 am and we’ll take you through the line-ups of both teams as they arrive.

    Wilson or King?

    1. Optic1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Wilson is a better long term pick atm.

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Wilson

    4. Deulo10

    5. Critical Observer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      King, as he's got the penalty-duties.

  2. Down with this sort of thin…
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Any fellow tramps on here? If you had to pick a 3.9 dfn, who would you go for?

    Thanks!

      Gone for kelly myself but not really much to choose from

      1. The Polymath
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Kelly

      2. Down with this sort of thin…
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        yeah, slim pickings, have Kelly too. Maybe Jazz hands?

  3. Whats the Mata?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone off Salah cap because of possible rotation?
    Kun probably a safer pick?

    1. Big Ping
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I'm going Kun

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Been swapping between the 2. Currently on Mo again

    3. Kellz86
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Just don't see Salah roation, could be taken off before 90min though

    4. Bullet Eder
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Just done it

    5. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Going Mane as its the televised game

  4. TLF
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Robbo or Trippier, hmmm....Robbo today but Trippier better over next 4 overall I guess.

    1. Sergeant Garcia
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Trippier got a rest midweek and better fixtures to come, so I'm backing him.

    2. The consensus
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Switched Mendy for Robertson over Trippier just now. Best def option this week.
      Worried about tot as a team and eriksen might at any time take over set pieces

  5. Tmel
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    a) Start AWB & bench Arnie 
    b) Start Arnie & bench AWB
    c) Arnie > Mitro (-4) & bench AWB

  6. StoichkovFPL
    • 8 Years

    Any reliable news about Liv lineup?

    1. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      rumours Salah is being rested after throwing his bottle in anger against PSG

      1. StoichkovFPL
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        naaaah

      2. IRBOX ⚽
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Rumours? There are no rumours. He threw his bottle in frustration after celebrating the goal.. no doubt a non Salah owner?

        1. Brosstan
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          If there are "no rumours", why have people been mentioning it on here every other page for the entire morning?

      3. Rotation's Alter Ego
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 12 Years

        Source.

        1. IRBOX ⚽
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          There is none. Warrants a ban

        2. Brosstan
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Its a rumour that Ive read on here. Lineups posted last night by Scotty B just to give you one example.

          1. Rotation's Alter Ego
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            That was widely claimed, by himself included, to be incorrect apparently.

            Stop spreading false information.

            1. Brosstan
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 7 months ago

              Yawn.

              1. Roy Rovers
                • 9 Years
                5 years, 7 months ago

                So your the one that listens to SB!!

  7. adstomko
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    WC team. Thoughts?

    Patricio, (Hamer)
    Robertson, Trippier, Shaw, Chilwell, (Bennett)
    Salah, Hazard, Richarlison, (Højbjerg, Billing)
    Lukaku, Vardy, Wilson

    1. Shaikh91
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Looking good

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      No city.. interesting

    3. Canelo
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Man City?

      1. adstomko
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Points are spread amongst players. Plus, I think Lukaku will score more goals over next few weeks than Aguero

  8. the dom 1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Pedro >

    a. Maddison

    b. Rich

    c. hold and play Pedro?

    cheers

    1. Kellz86
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Depends on if you have Haz?

      If so I'd swap to Madds, otherwise hold and see how the League Cup selection goes for Chelsea.

    2. Deulo10
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Rich

      1. the dom 1
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        was thinking Maddsion as he is on pens isn't he or is Vardy back on them now hes ack?

    3. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I went Madd

  9. Tmel
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Captain Haz or Kun?

    1. Roy Rovers
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Kun but you need Salah this week!

  10. Ginkapo FPL
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    I've wildcarded too, maverick that I am.

  11. Catastrophe
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    On WC.

    A) Maddison (HUD) then get Richarlison in next week
    B) Richarlison (ars)

    Currently on A.

    Cheers

    1. JustPark
      • 8 Years

      You're the veteran. Tell me.

    2. Ceebes
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Ties your hands if any issues this week though - Rich could be a better play now

    3. riccorich
      • 9 Years

      Done A myself

      A

  12. Weasel51
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Mendy + Ings >> Trippier + Wilson (-4)..

    Yes or no?

    1. Dele
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Yes

    2. jomikijiq
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      depends on the rest of your team. If you have just 9 starters - sure.

    3. Texas Pete
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I'd just do the first.. Ings back next week. Wilson would need to score to make it worthwhile.

  13. barracuda
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    1st sub

    A- Pedro

    B- AWB

    (mendy bench wankery)

    1. Kellz86
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      AWB as he will likely play more minutes than Pedro

      1. barracuda
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Feel like Newcastle will score

        1. JustPark
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          And you think AWB won't?

          1. barracuda
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            Heh, how was his contribution going forward in his last match?

  14. Dele
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Is Salah getting rested?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      NO INFO ON THAT.

    2. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Only Klopp knows!

  15. DR0GBA
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    A) Peltier > 5m defender (-4)
    B) Start Camarasa (no hit)

    1. DR0GBA
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      or C) Mendy > Trippier (-4)

    2. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      B.The defender you bring in would have to keep a clean sheet to break even.

  16. Bullet Eder
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Just switched armband to Aguero from Salah. 300th game for City after signing a contract extension. Written in the stars.

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      How long was the armband on Salah for?

      1. Bullet Eder
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        All week

  17. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 12 Years

    for the love of fpl gods please let my team do well this week

  18. EgyptianKing
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    1) Holebas or Bissaka?
    2) Captain - Hazard or Kun?

    Cheers all!

    1. yakirh
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Bissaka
      Kun

    2. Lazarus Star
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      1) WBA this week.
      2) I’m on Kun as Cardiff getting rolled over by the top teams so far.

  19. Lazarus Star
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    On WC and have had Robbo since GW1

    A) Robbo & Fraser
    B) Trent & Maddison

    Currently on A bit think Maddison could be better than Fraser long term.

    1. Deulo10
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      A

    2. Jonny HOW SON?
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      a

    3. jomikijiq
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I'd go Trent, Fraser and cash

    4. Lazarus Star
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I should’ve gone B #hindsight

  20. Marvin Moon
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    I hate how important the captain pick is. So stressful.

  21. Scotty B
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Which one vc just incase Aguero doesn't play?

    A Hazard
    B Mane

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Haz.

      Mane could be rested

    2. barracuda
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      A

    3. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Haz

    4. Roy Rovers
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Have you ever given advice rather than asked for it?

  22. jernej93
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Which transfer to do?

    Pedro - > Maddison
    Kamara - > Mitrovic
    Cedric - > Alonso

    Or play free hit? I have Ings, Mendy, Kamara and Pedro.. I could end up with 10 players

    1. Lazarus Star
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      This week isn’t worth a free hit.

      Kam to Mitro the obvious one as he’s the only one not playing.

      Cedric to Alonso tempting

      Pedro least of your worries

    2. Roy Rovers
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Jam to Mitro

      1. Roy Rovers
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        *Kam

  23. Maddamotha
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    What do to?

    Kepa
    Alonso, Robbo, Wan Bizzi,
    Salah,Mane, Bilva, Billing
    Aguer, King, Zaha

    Subs: Hamer, Mendy, Stephens, Peltier,

    A) Mendy to Shaw (to fund Mane to Hazard next gw)
    B) Bilva to Fraser (the same)
    C) save

    1. Deulo10
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      A

  24. stat
      5 years, 7 months ago

      To those who kept Mendy, are you starting him in case Pep bamboozled us? 😀

      1. badgerboy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Yep.

      2. Cok3y5murf
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Don't see any harm in starting him anyway. Why would he come on from the bench vs Cardiff?

        1. stat
            5 years, 7 months ago

            For the ultimate bamboozle

            Pep teaches him a lesson by playing him for 1 minute

        2. jomikijiq
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          yeah, nothing to lose

        3. MTPockets
            5 years, 7 months ago

            yep - the 0.01% probability

          • The Polymath
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            Nope. He could fine after a week.

          • Rover
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            Definitely

        4. Thunder Warrior
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Play Ryan or Patricio?

          1. stat
              5 years, 7 months ago

              Got the same keepers and going with Ryan.
              Spurs in worse form, and Brighton are at home

          2. Deulo10
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            Mendy to:

            A) Shaw
            B) Pereira
            C) Chillwell

            1. Jonny HOW SON?

            • 9 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            Is there some substance to Salah possible rotation or are people just panicking as usual

            1. Deulo10
              • 11 Years
              5 years, 7 months ago

              LivEcho reported that Shaqiri might start today.. that’s it

            2. the dom 1
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 7 months ago

              panic as usual. No substance proven

          4. Elite FPL
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            Currently have the armband on Salah, all these rumours are stressing me out! With aguero sitting there also... FPL gods give me a sign!

            1. Rash
              • 6 Years
              5 years, 7 months ago

              What rumours? Any links?

            2. Vlad Tepes
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 7 months ago

              Haha never been so hard for me to pick one, can choose between Salah, Hazard, Aguero or Lacazette

          5. Ayew Holding Mee Cork
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            Trippier, Rico, Smalling, Laporte & Bellerin

            Which 3 should I start in DRAFT?

          6. Brosstan
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            Aguero scored 2 goals in his 100th City match and 2 goals in his 200th City match. Guess which milestone hes reaching today. 😉
