    Just catching up with the scoutcast. I like Adam. Nice differential. 😀 speaks sense and covers all options.

      He's good isn't he? Knows his stats, isn't afraid to challenge a few of the guys and gives out some good tips.

        Yes. Very refreshing. Been pretty same old same old so far this season. Bounces well off AZ and Jonty.

          His meet the manager is highly recommended. I always make transfers with the next 6 gameweeks weeks in mind now.

            Yes me too. We took the same advice! I planned gw31 & 33 from gw26. Ridiculously way out for me. Worked reasonably well.

    Some help for final changes:

    BB and 0.4 ITB.

    Team:

    Lloris / Foster
    Van Dijk / Kola / Valery / Wan Bisaka / Boly
    Sterling / Hazard / Mane / Son / Camarasa*
    Aguero / Jim / Rashford *

    I want to take a -4 for Camarasa and Rashford > Redmond and Wilson

    I can also do different combos of: Any southampton striker + Moura / Fraser / Brooks.

    Otherwise any input appreciated.

    1. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Rashford has great fixtures last two, you might want him back then. I'd be tempted to either roll FT or move Cama to Hojbjerg.

      1. NeverLucky
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks mate, perhaps you are right. Deffo not an easy choice. And perhaps trying to utilize all positions for BB is not the best strategy and keeping it simple as is.

    Brighton deserve to be relegated. Pathetic club

      Killed me this week.... What was i thinking triple def and duffy cpt

        Ryan Dunk Duffy (C) here!!

    2. FPL Forward Thinker

      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Let’s home they do, they are one of the worst sides I have ever seen.

      Plus English Premier League needs more Welsh teams.

    3. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      They really do look like relegation candidates now. Very poor away and awful at home. They are doomed.

  4. fedolefan
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Glad I don't own any Brighton but you know what's coming up when troll defense meets troll defense, when crap meets crap. Wolves v Brighton is a nailed on 0-0 with Duffy clean sheet + bonus points while Jiminez cap blanks.

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Don't. Please don't say anymore. Please.

    Last Man Standing GW34 (76 teams)

    Safety score = 47
    Top score = 79
    LMS average = 47.36 (-0.21) = 47.14

    32 eliminated, 44 through to GW35
    Up to 50% out or minimum 22 out next GW.

      Nerviest last few days for me. Hit 48 after Sunday and had to hope Duffy captainers somehow didn't haul. Ended upo with 50...Thank you, Cardiff! 🙂

      Damn, if only I'd played Fraser. Ah well, it prolonged my interest in the season for a few weeks after I'd given up on my ML - thanks for organising!

    BB next GW....Dunk > Kola the obvious one?....1FT.

    Lloris
    TAA Doherty JWP Bednarek
    Eriksen (c) Son Salah
    Aguero Jiminez Firmino

    Foster Duffy Deulofeu Dunk.

    1. ItOnlyTook9Years

      Deulo gonna play?

      1. Roy Rovers
        • 9 Years

        Not heard anything more on him.....anyone know?

  7. EgyptianKing
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Maddison and Vardy to KDB and Llorente (-4), is it worth?

    Cheers

    1. Emiliano Sala
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      no

  8. Emiliano Sala
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    anyone think wilson may do better than dgw players ?
    can't find a standout captaincy option
    will jimenez start both ?

    1. jdp219
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Don't have Wilson, but currently have the armband on Jim.

    2. Beer is good 4 U
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I am not sure about Wilson. The three games before the Brighton game he do not much (Newcastle, Leicester and Burnley).

    3. Beer is good 4 U
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Jimenez will be my triple captain. Two home games against Brighton and Arsenal and no Champions League (like Agüero).

  9. Beer is good 4 U
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Play Valery or do Deeney -> Wilson for -4?

    THX!

  10. Openboxman
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Erikson and deeney > firmino and Watford mid?

    Already have son.

  11. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Contemplating whether to continue with BB in gw35... question still remains, though:

    Just go ahead and do Deeney > Wilson now?

  12. Wild Rover
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    One to start please

    Duffy (due), DCL (MUN), Pereira (whu), McNeil (che)

    Ta 🙂

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I could not begin to choose that must mean BB :O

    2. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      DCL.. Man U CL hangover. I’m playing Siggy

  13. Kasper the ghost keeper
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    A) Camarasa -> Redmond
    B) Duffy -> Koscienly

    1. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Both good. Have a rough draft of 36,37 and 38 plans before making GW35 transfers

    2. Emiliano Sala
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      a

  14. IRBOX ⚽
    • 7 Years

    Which side of the draw are Liverpool on? Ajax or Barcelona?

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Barcelona

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

        Damn. Tough assignment

        1. Pep's Money Laundry
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Yep tough but looking forward to it as long as we handle business tomorrow

    2. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Barca

  15. Bob B
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Deeney to

    A. Long
    B. Success
    C. 6.5m striker but will mean I have to take a hit the following week

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Keep of not on bb?

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        If...

        1. Bob B
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          I will be on BB

    2. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A - Long - hitting his peak

      1. Bob B
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Can't tell if serious, 2 goals in two but not that many minutes

    3. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      B worth a punt I think at the price. I heard success and deulofeu is the partnership of choice when deeney is out (6 out of 7 games) from a reliable source: Flapjack

      1. Bob B
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I'm expecting he will play as well, just trying to work out the better option

    4. Eastman
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I’m considering Gray.

      1. NeverLucky
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I am too, just how nailed is he...? even with Deeney out.

      2. Bob B
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Is Gray (-4) better than either of the other options though?

        1. Bob B
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Gray + Robertson (-4)
          over Long/Success + VVD

          1. Eastman
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Not sure how nailed Gray is though. But have a dgw, look good and decent fixtures

  16. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    RP

    Lloris
    Doherty Valery Laporte
    Son Sterling Mane Deulofeu
    Jimenez Aguero Vardy

    Foster Duffy Dunk Romeu

    1 FT 0.0 ITB

    Duffy Vardy >> Cathcart Firmino (-4)??

    Or better options??

    Undecided on BB or TC

    Thanks.

    1. Beer is good 4 U
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I would triple captain Jimenez. Two home games and no Champions League or Europa League.

      1. FCSB
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        It’s very tempting...

      2. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        That's my plan

    2. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Who would be your captain choice?

      1. FCSB
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Probably Jimenez mate

  17. Sz21
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    BB team. 2.1m for upgrades.

    Thinking either-
    1. Duffy->Robbo (Exact cash atm). Safe option.

    2. Vardy-> Aubameyang. (Vardy has a nice fixture himself but fancying Auba to pick things up a lot and would C). Taking a chance with this one.

    Lloris, Foster.
    Kola, TAA, Dunk, Duffy, Bednarek.
    Mane, Eriksen, Son, Jota, JWP.
    Vardy, Aguero, Jimenez.
    1ft, 2.1m.

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      it's the end of the season enjoy it

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      1

      Absolutely no way i'd go near that rotation fest with Arsenal fwds, but entirely up to you 🙂

  18. FredrikH
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Want BB this GW with Foster Valery. -4 to get Ings + Matip in for Duffy Deeney worth it for the last two bench spots?

    1. FredrikH
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Or Rondon Boly?

      1. Eastman
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        This is also is consideration. Rondón has good fixtures

  19. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    What do people rate the chances at of Valery being ok for the DGW?

    1. NeverLucky
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      How nailed is Gray for DBL GW? Worth a punt? Or better striker up to 7m range to outscore.

      Excluding Jim.

    2. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I read somewhere it was just cramp mate I think

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        ahh ok cool, yeah i heard it was cramp as well, just wondered if anything new may have come out on him. I'd imagine it's safe to bring him in then hopefully 🙂

    3. NeverLucky
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Woops wrong response sorry mate. I have Valery and heard he has a cramp only, so i am hoping pretty high chance.

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Hehe no probs man, thanks for response. FWIW i think Gray is a punt worth taking if you also have Jiminez already 🙂

        1. NeverLucky
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Thanks mate, yeah I do have Jim. Just need a 7m worthy striker, was considering Wilson but I think Gray worth taking a punt.

          P.S. - Below was link by someone of Valery training 🙂

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Welcome, yeah Wilson is another good addition, i'll be keeping him for the Fulham game. Gray is a decent DGW'er to have.

            Ooo nice! i'll look on the net as well see what i can find on him 🙂 Cheers pal.

  20. FPL_Crisis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Assuming son/Eriksen play both games vs city then at least one might rest vs Brighton?
    If no rest then TC spurs mid is tempting

  21. Mr. O'Connell
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Jiminez triple captain.

    Ryan, Duffy and Dunk on the bench

    Think I've seen this one before

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      It's the correct play

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Ryan should be shot from a cannon really. Can't believe I succumbed to getting on WC

  22. Beer is good 4 U
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Good to go?

    Leno (Ryan)
    Doherty, Vertonghen, Valery, Van Dijk (Duffy)
    Sterling, Eriksen, Jota, Mane (Camarasa)
    Jimenez (TC), Agüero (Deeney).

    Or something worth a hit?

    I have to decide now because I got internet ban from my girlfriend. She caught me looking at p*rn.

    Thank you!

    1. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Don’t rush your FPL decisions. Sneak on and decide on Saturday morning. Use this time wisely and and get back to the p0rn

  23. Surfeit of Lampteys

    Phew etheridge (c) and Sean Morrison bailed me out there. Guessing it's been a tough weekend for most though!

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Good choices. They were the DGW defence to go for. I liked Morrison as a differential but didn't have the guts to swim against the current as lead in ML so small

      1. Surfeit of Lampteys
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Ah, thanks. I live in Cardiff so I've seen them play a fair bit this year and they've improved defensively since Manga has gone to CB and Etheridge has been one of the best keepers in the league this year imo.

    1. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Wow. His cramp cleared pretty quick. It’s a miracle! Lol

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Awesome. Thanks for info.

  24. JJeyy
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Duffy to Boly for -4?
    That hit can be made up by appearance points considering the goals Brighton can give away...

  25. Emiliano Sala
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    anyone worried about salah/mane possible rest vs hudds ? 6 games in 20 days and they have barcelona after hudd

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Not if I use TC on Jimi 35

    2. AuFeld
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Nope. Tripled up on Robo, VvD, and TAA like everyone else.

      1. Emiliano Sala
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        i have 3x defence and consider selling of them to get salah

        1. Emiliano Sala
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          one of them*

    3. jdp219
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      assuming they go through 😉

    4. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Why have neither been rested all season and it now April?

      League might go to goal difference (doubt it but it might)

      Why wouldnt they batter Huddersfield early then bring them off.

      Pool have beautiful 3 day rests between matches and a Friday night before Barcelona is perfect! If they don’t take Porto for granted

      1. Emiliano Sala
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        yeah they will most likely play with full strength but early sub is possible. thanks

  26. FPL Forward Thinker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Which 3 teams have the hardest DGW 35 attacking wise

    I think Brighton, Man Utd and Southampton

    Same question but defensive wise?

    I think Brighton, Man City and Man Utd (maybe arsenal)

  27. Wild Rover
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Jimi might do well but there is no way I'm not captaining Aguero in a double game week. No wavering, first and last game, both televised 😎

      But Agüeros games are much tougher (Spurs and United). He also play Champions League.

        But I hope not now because he is also in my team.

        Don’t have Kun but if I did I’d captain him. Defo a big game player

    Good to go?

    Leno (Ryan)
    Doherty, Vertonghen, Valery, Van Dijk (Duffy)
    Sterling, Eriksen, Jota, Mane (Camarasa)
    Jimenez (TC), Agüero (Deeney).

    Or something worth a hit?

    Thank you!

      TC on Jimenez is bold!

        I think not so much. Jimenez will play against an awful Brighton and Arsenal is also not so solid. He also play not Champions League or Europa League.
