FPL Breakfast Club – General Knowledge

Join us for the latest episode of Fantasy Premier League Breakfast Club this morning ahead of Double Gameweek 25.

You can watch the show embedded in this article below or head over to our YouTube channel.

Joe and David will be joined by the FPL General from 11:15am today to discuss the first Double Gameweek of the season.

After hearing about the General’s rotten run of luck recently, we’ll be revealing our plans to best capitalise on two fixtures for Manchester City and Everton.

At 11:30am we’ll bring you the team news from Spurs vs Newcastle, as many managers have already bought back into South Korean star Son Heung-min (£8.6m).

    TC'ing Sterling

    This will be the end of my season 🙂

      Ah, memories of TC Sterling last season!

      3 (x3)

      1. Tired and weary
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Snap

    2. Holmes

      or the season starts now...

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        A lot of ground to make up... 1800 points or so? :O

    3. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Of course not. Triple captain is vastly over rated. It’s just one extra captain that’s all. Not much different to a captain fail any other week.

      Say for example those that don’t use their captain until later in the season, there will likely be a standout option each DGW. You will more than likely own and captain the same player others are triple captaining anyway so even if they haul you won’t lose that much ground. TC is no where near as huge as people make it out to be.

      1. Richd
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        This made. It sounds amazing but we get a double captain anyway.

        It’s just a tiny boost, that’s it.

  2. conorbon
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Based on all the comments Iv seen im the only one with no City attacking coverage this week. Do I take a hit to get Aguero and Sane in for Aubameyang and Hazard?

    Etheridge
    Danilo, Luiz, Bednarek
    Richarlison, Pogba, Hazard, Salah.
    Jiminez, Rashford, Aubameyang.

    Cheers!

    1. whosBenj
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Could just do one

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Nah ... they will only start one game and play 90 mins over the two games

      1. conorbon
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers, was prettty confident all week but getting last minute doubts

    3. corderz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I'm in the same boat. Leaning towards Auba > Aguero

      1. conorbon
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        I don’t have the funds, would have to take someone else out as well

    4. benbro
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

    5. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      High risk high reward, I did it Haz has been pants & Kun has chance of two games

    6. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I’m not even doing it for free.

  3. flipthebuzzard
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Richarlson out, Siggy in....?

    1. benbro
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Was thinking same but will keep the transfer to prepare for gw27

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

      Hmm, yeah good point
      ...
      Think this will be a coin flip...

    3. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      That's a waste. Save the FT

  4. Tigers Time
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    If you don't TC this week when would then be the best time outside of the other DGW's?

    1. @FPLDIARYFPL
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Well it will be in on of the other DGWs

      1. Tigers Time
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Is there a single game week worth looking at?
        My point is if you don't use it this game week I'm not sure there's a better opportunity.
        The other DGW's I'm using WC & BB

    2. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Salah in a DGW vs hud or someone

      1. Jealous Viper
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        No dgw for Mo

      2. Tommo1888
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Liverpool likely won’t have any DGW

      3. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Meant to say sgw

  5. Bavarian
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Sane TC come onnnnnnn

  6. Paulinho14
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    anyone using free hit?

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      No

  7. AdamJ91
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Hazard > Sane? Currently don't have any City players but wary the DGW might be a trap.

    1. corderz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Could be a Hazard haul....

      1. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Last five weeks he hasn’t

    2. FPL_DON
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      yes, i did the same

    3. FPL_DON
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      City coverage is needed

    4. Bobby
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I did it. Feels right, but also wrong...

  8. corderz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    A) Aubameyang > Aguero

    B) Hazard > Sane

    C) Both

    1. whosBenj
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I did both, but had 2 frees.

    2. FPL_DON
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      b

    3. benbro
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I’d want Aguero more

    4. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      C

  9. mdm
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Which one to captain:

    A. Richa (WOL; MCY)
    B. Salah (whm)
    C. Son (NEW)

    Thanks!

    1. @FPLDIARYFPL
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Salah

    2. benbro
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      ‘‘Tis the q

  10. Marvin Moon
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Aguero or Sane captain?

    1. whosBenj
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I'm tempted to triple cap Aguero

      1. benbro
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Correct

  11. fr3d
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Mahrez and Jesus as top scorers this week!

    1. tokara
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      keep telling urself that

    2. borat
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      No way

    3. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Good chance as they will both likely start against Everton and come on against a tiring Arsenal 🙂

  12. The Tinkerman
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    I am tempted by Haz > Sane (C) (-4) but can’t bring myself to do it when Haz has Huddersfield and Aguero is my current captain.

    1. FPL_DON
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      do it

    2. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I wouldn’t. Haz could easily score the same or outscore Sane.

    3. markieffm
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Not worth it if you already have Aguero

      1. The Tinkerman
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah, I ageee. Gonna hold

  13. Vobinho
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Taken a -4 to do Alli and Lloris to Ryan and Sane (c)

    Ryan
    Wan Bissaka Holebas Shaw
    Sane (c) Salah (v) Pogba Richarlison
    Auba Rashford Firmino

    Hamer, Jota, Digne, Schindler

    GTG?

  14. Mr_Barbs
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Pick one. Digne to:
    A) Danilo
    B) Laporte

    Bench one:
    A) AWB
    B) Doherty

    1. acidicleo
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      save.. play doherty..

  15. borat
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Changing Capt from Sterling to sane now after seeing the comments over here.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      FFS is an echo chamber and we're all full of crap. Don't listen to us.

      1. borat
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        😆

      2. borat
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Don't want to go further down in ranks. Will follow the herd now

    2. Cookie Kid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Echo chamber!

  16. OptimusBlack
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Alonso or Azbiiii

    1. OptimusBlack

      Answer Me

      1. Bonza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        No

      2. Marvin Moon
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Neither.

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

        Go home.

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

      to buy? neither
      to bench? azpi

    3. Jealous Viper
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Azpi more certain to start

  17. acidicleo
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    will arsenal have a dgw?

    1. tambourineman
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Only if Wolves beat Shrewsbury and Bristol City in FA Cup

      1. acidicleo
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        hmm..was thinking of TC options..

  18. AVFCChris1984
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Why's everyone transfering out Pogba, is he confirmed out?

    1. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      He's confirmed as fit and available

  19. oi no professionals
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Play:
    A. Ings
    B. Doherty

  20. teknicolourfox
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Sod it...

    TC on Salah

    Have Sane

    Please haul Mo, 79 points behind league leader ..

    1. borat
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Why use tc on Salah this gw. Save and use it later if there is a dgw

      1. teknicolourfox
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        All IFs though isn't it. I'm expecting 4-0 to pool and Salah easily get 15+ points.

        Sane, just have a feeling...70 mins against Arsenal but rotation worries could easily mean not a great deal more than 90 mins across two games.

        Arsenal I'm a fan) surely due a turn of form, although agree defence is awful.

  21. waitinginthelonggrass
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone not going TC this week?

    1. The Tinkerman
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Me. Don’t trust pep enough to get 2 games out of anyone. Chelsea look like they might have a good DGW, May end up going with Hazard or Higuain if I’m still trailing.

  22. Flynny
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Any views on this??

    A....save ft

    B.....hazard and kamara to kun (c) and puncheon - 4

    Ederson (fab)
    Robbo Doherty lindelof (awb bednarek)
    Salah hazard sane pog richi
    Rash jiminz (kamara)

    Thanks

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

      At this hour?! 🙄

    2. RichRover
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

  23. FPLtfs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Just did Fabianski, Pogba, Aubameyang, Alonso ➡ Ederson, Sane, Aguero, 3.8 fodder (-8).

    Having second toughts. Was this stupidity? 🙂

    1. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      For me it is yes but hopefully it works for you.

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

      time will tell ..relax... TC??

    3. Wakanda
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      ederson is uncessary imo.. blank gw for ederson soon

    4. Jimbo-Jones
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Big gamble. It’s more than a -8 when you factor in the fact you have to take them all out again soon.

  24. Enes_Sahini1
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    whens the next double gameweek?

  25. DaftKing
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Digne > Danilo -4?

  26. BananaMan
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Kepa
    Alonso - WB - Robertson - Doherty
    Salah - Sane (c) - Pogba - Jota
    Aguero - Rashford

    4m - Camarasa - Digne - Kamara

    2m itb.
    g2g??

    1. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Not much coverage on the bench. See my Q below.

      1. BananaMan
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        I was worried about the bench. My transfer for next we is Digne to Rose. If I do it now I'll have to bench one of the above. Prob Doherty or WB. Couldn't call or so I've left it.

  27. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    If Camarasa injured and Digne only playing 1 game vs. MCY, I only have Bennett on my bench.

    Worth doing Digne > Laporte for -4?

    1. Manani
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      dennett is fine for this week i thik

    2. BananaMan
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Can't see city keeping clean sheets to be honest.

  28. Wakanda
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Salah captain over Sterling and Hazard. Who is with me ?

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      0/

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I was but got Sane fever

  29. jtreble
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Almost 400K Son transfers in this week. Benitez/NEW is going to make it very difficult for TOT I think.

    1. Silecro
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I'm one of them, have exactly 1.8 to go Richarlison > Son today for free..finally first time i havent been outpriced by 0.1 or friday price rise

  30. Manani
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    hazard>sterling?

    already have Sane

    1. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      That would be inSane, imho
