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.

    Pls don’t bench salah or rob Klopp

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

      Who's going to rob Klopp?

      1. piquiblanco
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        The same person who is in position to bench Salah, I think

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

      You sound like you're 12.

  2. GianniBanani

    Three digit score and im buying Morata!

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

      If I win the lottery I'm shooting myself in the foot.

    Kun (c)
    a hurt city team out for revenge against a cr appy Cardiff who just shipped 4 to chelsea .

    1. Siggy in the Middle
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Same for the same reason. Warnock's press conference sounded like he was getting in excuses already.

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

      I would be greatful for a brace for Kun in a first half, he can be subbed in 61 min then

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

      same here!

  4. Siggy in the Middle
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    First time since the start that I've been able to roll a transfer.

    1. Planet Head
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Let us know how it smokes

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

    Come on my boy Pereyra!

    1. Siggy in the Middle
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      He'd be arrested

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

        😀

      2. Ask Yourself
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Elite

  6. Robson-Canoe
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    I don't know about you guys but I can't wait for the site to finish updating at the beginning of a matchday so that I can already plan my transfers and team structure for next GW 😀

    1. Planet Head
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      And see who your rivals picked, yeah

      1. Robson-Canoe
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Yes true, captain picks always interesting to see

  7. piquiblanco
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    I literally remembered a minute before the deadline that I have to make a transfer.

    Was deliberating yesterday whether to bring Maddison or Rich for Mkhi, with 2 FTs. Left the decison until today. Almost regretted it.

    Ended up getting Maddison because he was the one I could click on faster in the transfers tab. Barely made it.

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

      Fail to prepare, prepare to fail.

      1. piquiblanco
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah, I would resolve not to ever to this again... if only there was a reasonable chance of me having 2 FTs on deadline day! Happens once in a lifetime.

    2. Robson-Canoe
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Maddison definitely the better choice this GW

    3. KINGVIZO
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I took mihki out for Pogba!! Risk that hopefully pays off!!

      1. Robson-Canoe
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Pogba looks great atm, good move

      2. piquiblanco
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        I can't afford to upgrade, saving up for Haz.

      3. Fitzy.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Don't see the risk at all.

      4. FC Barkerlona
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        I brought him in for Pedro

    4. Planet Head
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Hope he's not accidentally on your bench

      1. piquiblanco
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        I can't even check it right now with the game updating! But last I checked it was Holebas, Jimenez and Westwood.

  8. KINGVIZO
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    WHO IS THE PLAYER YOU DONT OWN WHO YOU ARE MOST FEARING???

    I WOULD HAVE TO GO MANE (SHOUTING)!!

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

      HAZARD!

    2. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Mendy

    3. Robson-Canoe
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Salah

    4. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Always Salah

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

      Salah. Fingers crossed he gets benched.

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

      Salah. My mini league are a bit slow to move so most still have him.

    7. piquiblanco
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Haz

    8. Patio Kev
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Same as last week - Salah, Mane, Kane and Kun

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

        who is in your team if you dont own these 4? good luck all!!

        It seems everybody wants a Salah 1 pointer (except me).. EEK!!

    9. Planet Head
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Hazard the hazard

    10. Pinturicchio10
        5 years, 7 months ago

        I fear no man.

      • SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        a Maddison / Fraser goal shout would annoy me most I think

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

          Agreed... ;-0

      The clip that made me switch the armband from Salah to Aguero:

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWG2VNZJ9Hw

      Warnock seems to genuinely enjoy football and have no desire to park the bus, yet again.

      1. OPTA FPL
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Hazard f 2

      1. Robson-Canoe

      2. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy

        3-1 mitro brace would love to own today

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

          As long as Holebas get the -1.

          1. Planet Head
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            Holebas -1 would be ideal

      3. Osman
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Ful 1- 2 Wat

        (Schurrle, Pereyra, Deeney)

      4. Brosstan
        • 9 Years

    16. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Salah (c) Aguero (vc) Hazard (just there) locked in.

      At least owning all 3 I get some points either way!

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

        SCENES when all 3 blank haha!!

        i have all 3 as well!!

      2. Sylas

        Flawed logic, to say the least. 😆

    17. DAZZ
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I went with Patricio in goal over Foster, i fancy some juicy save points.

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

        Okay. Thanks for letting us know.

      Last minute IRL distractions has caused me to miss the deadline 😆

    19. denial

      • 14 Years

      It's got pretty crazy on here pre deadline. Not sure how you solve that really.

      1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        ignore it?

      2. Eddie

        Stay away.

    20. Weeb Kakashi
      • 8 Years

      Ramsey does get a lot into the box doesn't he?

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

        That's what Colleen likes about him...

    21. SirStevieG
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Why do some people think Salah is safe from rotation? Look at our fixture list coming up...

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

        They own him and want to stick their fingers in their ears and ban anyone who dares bring up the possibility. If Salah is to get a rest in the upcoming fixture run its today.

        1. piquiblanco
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          I don't think Klopp is going to give a damn about Carabao, I'm expecting a stronger lineup today than midweek.

        2. Fantastisk
          • 6 Years

          Never

      2. Podge

        I would just delete the account altogether. That kind of sloppiness is inexcusable. Take up ornithology at the weekends imo

        Worst crime fighting duo ever! 🙂

    23. GREEN IS GOOD
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Dear Klopp, please bench Salah. For his own good. He needs a nice rest. Thank you.

      1. Planet Head
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Please no! Wait until he not got my armband

    24. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Took a chance with Auba as Captain.

      Oh well, heaven or hell coming.

      1. Planet Head
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        See you on one of the other sides

      2. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        good call

      3. Pinturicchio10
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Me too. It's a good shout even if a tad risky. Let's see how it goes eh? Good luck.

        • lespaul
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Or he gets the same points as the others

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

        Salah (c) = 26mil worth of value. The obvious choice.

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

          That's not how it works.

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

            It actually is..

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

              It really isn't. You get double his points. That's all.

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

                Clearly, thinking as a simple folk. Captaincy is the most powerful tool in the same and factors both price and effective owenership

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

          Imagine the value if he cost 20m 😉

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

          Lol. This logic

        4. Collie01
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          If you have him you almost had to captain him today imo

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

          How old are you?

          1. piquiblanco
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            Hey, not cool.

          2. Fantastisk
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            Pedo

        6. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Kane too then

        7. piquiblanco
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          I can see where this thought came from, but you have to take into account that his captain potential was already taken into account when determining the price. If there was no captains in FPL the heavy hitters would be cheaper. So it's not value times two.

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

            No it isn’t. Price is set purely on last season’s points.. captaincy is irrelevant in deterring an initial outlay for individual players

            1. piquiblanco
              • 10 Years
              5 years, 7 months ago

              Explain Mendy's price then

                Mendy didn’t play much last season, however, he was priced as a Man City defender.. less than Kyle Walker. Logical no?

                  5 years, 7 months ago

                  Mendy is 1.5m more than Doherty and 2m more than AWB, he isn't as good value as people are making out

                    that was meant for Piquiblanco

                  Right but he just proved that your earlier statement - "Price is set purely on last season’s points" - was wrong.

                    Use your brain

          Are people upvoting the contradicting statement stupid? Obviously Salah is not a good value pick this season.. his true value lies in the captaincy. Factoring in effective ownership and outlay of investment, you indeed are the idiots

          1. Hulk Smash
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            Your original comment presupposes that Salah's price and value are the same when they aren't. His value is subjective, his price is not.

            Your comment made no logical sense.

            1. piquiblanco
              • 10 Years

              And that's that.

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

              I don’t fathom this. If he is worth 13.0.. captaincy effectively makes him worth 26.0 mil.. people are so hell bent on TV and this is arythmitic 101

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

                You're not making any sense. His price is just what you buy and sell him for. You can't sell him for 26m if you captained him so its irrelevant. You just get double the points.

              2. Hulk Smash
                • 8 Years
                5 years, 7 months ago

                There you go again, "worth 13m". Worth is a question of value, his PRICE is 13m.

                To illustrate the difference, consider Alexis Sanchez. He was priced at 10.5m at the start of the season. He has returned only 2 assists and has played less than 3 full games. Do you consider him to be worth 10.5m?

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

                  They aren’t synonyms.. surely you know that

                  1. Hulk Smash
                    • 8 Years
                    5 years, 7 months ago

                    JFC you are the one who is treating them as synonyms, not me. Price = the objective cost of the player. Value = a subjective judgement on how desireable a player is, taking into account their price and performance.

                    Your earlier presumption that he is worth 13m therefore worth 26m when captained is at best subjective and seemingly not based on anything except his price. He is priced at 13m but that doesn't automatically make him worth 13m as it doesn't take into account his level of performance.

                      Within the constraints of FPL it certainly is

                You’re clearly not understanding effective ownership and the inportance of captaincy? I’m done explaining to those with a low IQ

                  You're making no sense mate.

                      5 years, 7 months ago

                      Can you sell him for 26m? No, so captaining him makes no difference to his price. You making absolutely no sense.

                        Ok.. good logic

                        Mate, give up. It seems even his 5 letter username is spelled incorrectly but it's everyone else who is "low IQ" apparently.

        Salah needs confidence. Today is the best fixture to get it back.

          Agree.

        2. Hulk Smash
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          That doesn't increase his likelihood of getting points.

        Mendy, Wilson > Yedlin, Lukaku?

        Breakfast club was good 😀

        Joe just mentioned Firmino as a Captain option and now I feel I’ve missed a trick.. didn’t even consider him

        If Salah gets benched, surely he won't come on? (if Liverpool are winning)
