    Weighing up some options. Which one do you like best? Number 4 is giving my the highest return over the next 5 or so fixtures.

    WC in hand still.
    1. Salah + Pukki -> Maddison + Aubameyang (1.2m).
    2. VVD + Smith -> Pereira + Soyuncu/ Tomori (0.2m/0.1m).
    3. A. Smith + Cantwell -> Soyuncu + Dendoncker (0.0m).
    4. VVD + Pukki-> Holding (4.5m) + Vardy
    5. VVD + Pukki-> 5.6m def + Wilson.

    Pope.
    VVD, Otamendi, Robbo.
    Cantwell, Mount, KDB, Sterling, Salah.
    Abraham, Pukki.
    Button, Lundstram, A Smith, Wickham.
    2ft- 0.1m ITB.

      ** Number 4 giving me the highest return on the RMT tool in the Members area I meant.

      Do you really think Ota is worth keeping?

      option 5 with Matip is best. you sell VVD who gets cs vs United so better to invest in his partner who will also get cs and usually also scores well in bps system.

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years

        Matip is injured.

      I like 4 as think Vardy going to clean up over this period.

      Rather Lowton/Soyuncu over chambers.

    Can anyone help with this appalling mess of a team? No Abraham and KDB are obvious problems but I'm reluctant to lose players with a nice fixture in GW9. Creative suggestions very welcome. Thanks for your help 🙂

    Heaton - McLovin

    TAA - Robertson - Digne - Otamendi - Lundstram

    Salah - Sterling - David Silva - Mount - Saka

    Pukki - Jota - Greenwood

    £0.6m in the bank, 2 FTs.

        Nah. Not with 2 FTs.

          It’s irrelevant, if the time is right for a mass overhaul

          You would effectively lose 1 ft

            According to Numb (arguably the best FPL manager in the world) and his article on the 4 principles, transfers are the most precious thing in the world. I can't just let one burn.

              Points are the most precious things in the world

              If you’re considering a -4 to capitalise on point gains you’re burning a FT anyhow

              Until the likes of TAA, Robertson or Silva get rotated. I’m not suggesting anything glamorous, just highlighting an issue you May end up having.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      I think you need to shift some funds up top by dropping ota and Digne and then upgrade Greenwood as Saka likely won’t play this week.

      Otamendi to Lowton
      Digne to soyuncu
      Greenwood to Wilson (c)

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Good shout - thanks, man.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years

          Sets you up to be a bit more flexible with the added benefit of enjoying Wilson (c) monster haul vs a shocking Norwich defence.

      2. Pap Le Cissier
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I agree, Greenwood and Saka are liabilities in terms of starting places. Funds need to be moved from defence

        1. FPL Virgin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Greenwood and Saka can be sat on the bench with no issues for me.

    3. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Digne and Ota are fires burning. Jota injured.

      I would consider WC.

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Agree on Digne and Ota, even though they can punish the sellers.

        Jota should hopefully be back for the weekend and his fixtures are so juicy.

        1. FOO FIGHTER
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          See your OR at 1.7m. Mate, I would WC.

          Saka, Greenwood, Ota, Digne and a front 2 of Pukki and Jota to be honest going to see you stay where you are or drop further.

          City triple up bad idea as well in my honest opinion.

          1. FPL Virgin
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            That's good advice. Thanks, fella.

    4. Nabs Kebabs
      • 12 Years

      clearly needs wc

    5. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Honestly, 100% WC for me. There's a lot of things to fix, that's what it's for.

      I think you have a bit too much cash tied up in defense Virg and having two City mids is probably more of a headache than it is worth as Pep could easily bench both of those guys out of the blue and screw you.

      I like Saka a lot but i think he will make way when Laca returns so you may want to look at him and ideally Mane instead of Salah but that is not the biggest problem you have.

      I think you may need a premium striker to balance things out.

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Salah to Mane is sideways tbf.

        Agree about City.

      2. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Sound advice as ever, Ogie. Thanks so much.

        Nice grav btw. Were you utterly blown away by the Joker film like me?

        1. Ógie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          I thought the movie was fantastic and is an modern day classic.

          I am seriously considering going into the cinema again this weekend to watch it again which is something i have never done with a movie before.I think i could watch Joker ten times and take something different from it each time.

          1. FPL Virgin
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Joaquin Phoenix's performance was just staggering. What an actor. No one else could have done that with the role.

            The film had more in common with Taxi Driver than anything else I thought.

            How did you interpret the ending?

            1. Party time
                4 years, 6 months ago

                J. Phoenix has always been a great actor. Loved him more when I watched the movie "her"

                1. FPL Virgin
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 7 Years
                  4 years, 6 months ago

                  Oh man, what a film. No film has ever had more to say on the concept of love than that film.

                  1. Party time
                      4 years, 6 months ago

                      🙂

                  • 11 Years
                  4 years, 6 months ago

                  Joaquin definitely put his stamp on the character.

                  You could read that ending a whole load of ways but when i first saw it i thought that the whole thing may be just inside his head and the rest of the movie was some kind of mental delusion of some kind.

                  1. FPL Virgin
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 7 Years
                    4 years, 6 months ago

                    Yeah Todd Philips acknowledged that theory in a recent interview but wouldn't confirm if it's true.

                    As good as Health Ledger was as the Joker, his performance was somehow way above his portrayal.

            2. Nightcrawler
              • 4 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              As good as the acting was the movie was just plain boring. It's hard to admit it when people go in the fixed mindset that they would find the movie great regardless of what happens but let's face it nobody would watch it twice

              1. FPL Virgin
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                I would watch it two times or more in a heartbeat. Nightcrawler is a brilliant film as well.

          Silva -> 4.5
          Greenwood -> Abraham possible?

            • 8 Years

            Would be a move to 4-3-3

        4. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          It's a WC for sure with that lot.

          An absolute ton to fix. I'd realistically replace 11 of that 15.

        Have two CHE and two LEI, no city atm:

        Mane Salah Mount Cantwell
        Abraham Vardy Wilson

        Ceballos, Kelly, Pieters. 2.7 ITB

        Ceballos to:

        Anyone else cant help be contrarian? I dont rate Everton at all and havent owned their players all season but now that everyone is dropping their assets i kinda want to bring in Digne...

        1. FOO FIGHTER
          • 4 Years

          Nah.

        2. andres
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          no, until the get a new coach I wouldn't get any Everton, same goes for spurs and united

          1. Brosstan
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Thats not then point, I know that but I get tempted by him becoming a differential even though I dont rate him.

            1. andres
              • 12 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              differential only works if he gets you the points no one else has 🙂 this would be a negative differential.

              If you want to spend 6M on a defender pereira from leister could be that differential, still little ownership and likely to get points.

            • 11 Years

            Given their results I’d debate the term “good fixtures” 😉

          Nah, that's just daft. Fair enough if you think you have seen something that other's haven't and want to take a risk, but when you freely admit you don't rate them ...

          My father used say to me when i was a kid that if everyone was walking in one direction that i would be going the other way.

          I guess that been contrarian is just part of my nature and my make up.

            You are likely to hit the jackpot walking against the crowd. Walking with the crowd you’ll share it with a million others.

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

        Just like Mark, I always says, "I like to bring in a defender who has a bit about him" i.e. Goal threat.

        In 13 starts, Soyuncu and Tomori have had THREE goal attempts between them.

        Absolute joke picks imo. I'm going nowhere near them. I don't care how luscious and golden Soyuncu's hair is.

          Boly

          1. FPL Virgin
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Boly is a great pick. Rotates beautifully with Lundstram as well.

        3. diesel001
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          If there are £4.5m that have more goal threat and CS potential then sure.

          If you look at the teams in the PL - who do you think actually can keep CS? I would say Liverpool, Man Utd, Chelsea, Man City, Spurs, Arsenal, Leicester, West Ham, Crystal Palace and Sheffield United.

          TAA is the obvious Liverpool pick. Otamendi is the obvious Man City pick. Tomori is a bargain at £4.5m for Chelsea so is Soyuncu for Leicester. You could also add Diop, Kelly and Lundstram. Man Utd have some options, but they have too many injuries at the moment. Arsenal also have too many injuries (they need Holding, Bellerin and Tierney back). Spurs are out of form.

          Newcastle try to keep CS, but they don't have the ability. Everton could keep CS, but Silva's stubbornness to continue with zonal marking at set pieces is costing them. The rest all look like they will leak goals.

          1. FPL Virgin
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            What's your point? There are plenty of £4.5m - £5m with better goal threat and CS potential than Soyuncu and Tomori (Tomori who has neither goal threat OR clean sheet potential by the way).

            1. diesel001
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Who are they? It is too risky to go triple Sheff Utd defence. Palace have rubbish fixtures now. Bournemouth don't keep CS. Southampton fixtures are rubbish. Europa League is hurting Wolves.

              4 years, 6 months ago

              Absolute nonsense.
              Chelsea are currently third for shots conceded in the box (Leicester are 1st incidentally).
              Clean sheet potential is very reasonable, and at 4.5 Tomori was an absolute bargain!

            Currently it's just Liverpool, City, United, Chelsea, Sheffield, Leicester, Palace, Burnley

          I agree. Chelsea defence has looked poor so it’s more hope than expectation for Tomori. Leicester’s defence has also never been that great. I can’t help but feel the Soyuncu pick is sky fantasy players getting confused thinking he’ll score well in FPL.

            The man simply does not shoot. Is he not going up for corners?

              I’m not sure tbh. I’m not even convinced Leicester’s fixtures are that strong. 3 away games in 5 with one of the home games v Arsenal.

                • 7 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                Leicester have the second worst xG in the league so far this season, too. Not much goal threat there.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          I’m looking at Burn or Schar in that price range after looking at Doosra’s table

          1. FPL Virgin
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Nice. Doosra knows what he is talking about.

          Guy talks about Mark's philosophy as example to not bring in Tomori. Then goes and checks Mark's team. Finds Tomori in it.

          Life is confusing, isn't it!

            Mark is a maverick. He doesn't play by anyone's rules. Even his own.

          Your toughts on Montoya?

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            I own Montoya and he hasn’t actually done much for a wing back. I’d consider Burn or Dunk instead.

            1. jennmenn
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Dunk is "middle defends"? Is it on setpices he has his goal threat?

        8. Jarnathan
          • 7 Years

          Targett?

      6. Bring back Rafa
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        As it stands I'm $0.2 short on going Haller to Vardy. What would be the best way to make that coin (could be $0.3 or $0.4 by the time I do it)

        Cantwell OUT for a $4.5m fodder
        Ayew OUT Connelly IN
        Pope OUT Gazzagainga IN (also have Tottenham $4.0 GK)
        Otamendi OUT for a $5.3m defender

        Cantwell and Ayew rotate home fixtures perfectly.
        If Otamendi Out, I could bring in Matt Ritchie when fit

          Taken two -4 this year and only 1 worked out

          It was enough to stop any urge to do so again

        3. Warby84
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Spurs body language is a shambles, so I’ve taken son out for a hit with no regrets...

          1. FOO FIGHTER
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Spurs will pick up form. They have a good enough squad to turn things around.

        4. Cruyff's Eleven
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Why would you get Son back?!

          Spurs form is abject, he's playing 2 international games, will be back in the UK late and following WAT their fixtures are pants.......

        5. The Train Driver
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          I got Son on WC but plan is to get KDB in after WAT.

      8. AdamJ91
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Mount/Hudson Odoi on a WC?

        If I go the latter it means I could upgrade my 5th defender (Rico) to someone at 4.8m.

        1. Bring back Rafa
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          I wouldn't upgrade Rico while he is still getting a game. Even though Bournemouth aren't great at the back a $4.2m LB taking corners is a steal.

        WC team look great but really a boring template one tbf ...
        Who will make your WC team from this lot:

        B. Willems
        C. Yarmolenko
        D. H Wilson
        E. Hudson Oddoi

          FWIW I’d drop Willems from that list, Ritchie should be back by GW10 or 11 and imo will get his place back at Willems expense

        I still can't decide if I should wildcard or not this week. There's probably at least 3/4 changes I'd like to make but I'm just not sure it justifies a WC. Thoughts?

        Pope, Heaton
        TAA, Otamendi, Montoya, Guilbert, Lundstram
        Salah, Sterling, Yarmolenko, McGinn, Cantwell
        Abameyang, Abraham, Pukki

        1. The Darkest Knight
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          mention those 3-4 changes you would like to make and may be we can help you.

          1. DeadStarComing
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            I would likely bring in Mount who I feel is a big miss in my team. Plus one of KDB, Maddison or Wilson. To do this the rest would be “bench player” changes. So perhaps Connolly at Brighton. Rico, Dendoncker etc.

              If you have the funds

              Ota is on my chopping board

              But really there is not much wrong with that team

              1. DeadStarComing
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 13 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                Cheers. I can do Ota to a 4.8 or less defender and Yarmolenko to Mount. I’ll consider this.

        3. fr3d
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          I had a similar team and WC’d early this week to avoid price drops from Pukki/Cantwell/Salah and catch Mane, Soy, Maddison rises.

          Too late now imo. Hold WC for a few more weeks?

          1. fr3d
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Not to mention Mount double rise

            1. DeadStarComing
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              I don’t think his double rose this gw yet. But I do feel I’ve missed out by not getting him earlier. My excuse is I’ve pretty much had a midfield of Salah, Sterling, KDB and McGinn. Tif, McGinn has nearly kept up with him. If he’d managed to get something in the 5-1 win he may even have had more points than him.

              1. fr3d
                • 6 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                Mount has risen once and will rise one more time is what I meant.

                Yeah McGinn is a decent alternative. You might not have to make the switch tbh

        Strange how Rico is now 4.2 and Kelly 4.1 when Kelly has double the points!

        1. The Darkest Knight
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          look at Kelly's fixtures....

          1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Form > Fixtures

            1. FPL.team
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Not sure that applies to defenders. Kelly is relying on his team to do well mainly rather than his individual form.

        2. Eat my goal!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Kelly was owned by many from day 1

          Rico was transferred in

          Simples

            • 7 Years

            I was the other way round haha. Then sold Rico when he didn't start week 2.

        3. Cruyff's Eleven
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years

            True

        4. FOO FIGHTER
          • 4 Years

          Rico's extra 0.1 is great 🙂

            • 7 Years

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years

        Looking for some advice. My current team is
        Pope Button
        TAA Otamendi Lundstram Timor’s Soyuncu
        Sterling Mane De Bruyne Mount Cantwell
        Abraham Pukki Barnes
        0.3 in bank and 2FT

        Option A Barnes/Pukki out Vardy Connolly in
        Option B Barnes/Pukki out for King/Jimenez
        Option C Sterling/Barnes/Pukki out Maddison/Auba/Jimenez in for -4
        Option D something else
        Thanks

      13. FOO FIGHTER

        Pukki, I am still keeping for now.

        Still loads of value and he may have blanked 4 times but so has Tammy.

        I got in Tammy but bit sceptic about CHE double up. Kante injured in French warm up, this player is Chelsea's engine. I may consider losing Tammy. Mount just such an awesome pick.

        1. Eleven Hag

          Kante injured. Could see Chelsea midfield struggle.

          No chance I would triple up on CHE.

          1. Eleven Hag
            • 6 Years

            • 9 Years

            Yarmo could be the one...ta

      15. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Mason Mount = this year's Jimenez.... I.e the one player I never own who everyone seems to have.
        Feels too late now given his price.

        1. FOO FIGHTER
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Mount is worth it.

          1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Who would you take out?

            Salah | Sterling | Mane | KdB | Cantwell

            1. FOO FIGHTER
              • 4 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              What does the rest of your team look like with that midfield?

                • 7 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                Unbalanced but sexual:

                Pope
                Soyuncu | Tomori | Guilbert | Lundstram
                Kane

                Button | Connolly | Kelly | Greenwood

        2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          He’ll likely be 8.5 if not more next year so he’s still waaaay underpriced

          CHO will likely be in the same boat

          1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            It's bizarre how he's become nailed out of nowhere

            1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Yeah it’s pretty clear Lamps now views him as a pet project

              I love the way he defies statistics too - he’s a real “eye test” player

              9 goals from outside the box last year means XG just doesn’t apply, and his runs from deep means heat maps similarly need to be thrown out the window

              Just a good old fashioned FPL points-getter

        3. Kellz86
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          I wouldn't say it's too late, I finally took the plunge myself on WC at 6.7m. That's still an incredible price per output and Lampard rates him highly. He'd be worth it at 7m even. Keep an eye on Hudson-Odoi 5.9m though.

          Triple up on CHE not for me.

          Their defence is like a yo-yo and with Kante injured again could see them implode further at the back.

          1. OverTinker
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            I heard it wasn't a serious injury

          2. Kellz86
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Chelsea next fixtures: NEW, @Bur, @Wat, CRY - could see a CS or two in that run.

      17. DAZZ
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Kante with a fresh injury, makes the Chelsea defence even less appealing.

        Does anyone here reckon it’s sensible going from 2, to 1 Liverpool defender for the next 4 fixtures? With the wildcard intact, i don’t think it will be a problem bringing Robertson back in in 4 gameweeks time for the LFC fixture swing. Robertson down to a 5M allows Pukki > Vardy

          Sounds sensible

          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          I spoke to another experienced FPL player about this and he argued the opposite. That the upcoming fixtures aren't difficult and I'm thinking the opposite to you - to go from 1 to 2 defenders by bringing in Robbo.

            • 8 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            i also think now is the time to double up

      19. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Tammy, Vardy, Wilson

        Looks bloody brilliant as an FPL forward line - they’ve got a bit of everything & allow plenty of budget for elsewhere

        Especially if you got in early on Tammy or even managed to pick up Callum for 7.8 or Vardy for 8.9

        1. Eat my goal!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          And not a single differential

          1. Eat my goal!
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Actually just checked and I’m amazed by the low ownership of vardy and Wilson

            1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Yeah Tammy is a proper ‘wagon, nearly most owned player in the game

              But the other two aren’t hugely popular from an ownership perspective

              Still over 10% though I suppose

              1. Eat my goal!
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 5 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                But if you consider it from the opposite perspective: over 85% of teams will miss out on their inevitable point returns - if only I had the cash for Wilson as well

                • 6 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                And a lot of people will likely have just 1 or 2 of those 3. I'm on the full triple frontline like you though! FTW!

        2. DAZZ
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Yup. i have Tammy but just cant fit both the others in without dropping one of Mo/Sterling. Where dropping one of these does tempt me, i just cant bring myself, i know they’ll both find form and explode sooner or later!

          What it’s worth, I believe Callum Wilson is a prime candidate for captaincy this week and i will be giving him the band IF i manage to bring him in

          1. Eat my goal!
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            I’m keeping sterling for 3 games and then switching to mane till the new year

            It keeps things simple, reducing FTs

            But it does come at the price of having to keep greenwood for the foreseeable future

            Vardy and Tammy will have to do

          2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Every now & again Wilson pops up with an explosion

            The Norwich factor this weekend has him the armband for me, at least provisionally

            I ditched Sterling a few weeks ago to go Mo perma cap, the Sterling sale hasn’t bitten me, and the Mo perma cap hasn’t paid dividends yet

            But Wilson looks great next 2, and beyond

          3. Kellz86
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Consider freeing up funds in defense? Everyone in this FFS bubble say TAA is a "must". I agree he is a valuable asset, but if you pick wisely you can have a much cheaper defender that will still get you pts while giving you more budget.

            Just to put it in perspective TAA has 40pts @7.2m, Lundstrum has 39pts @4.5, PvA 39pts @5.6m, etc.

            But that's me, I don't like to put much in defenders and Liverpool's next 4 matches are going to be tougher.

        3. FPL Virgin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Don't tempt me, I still have my Wildcard.

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

          It's the 3 I wanted but unfortunately with budget I dont want to go without mane/salah and aguero/sterling.

          Which leaves me going mane with maddi over vardy and kun up top with the other 2.

          Wish I had the stones to drop mane but united and spurs arent tough games just now

          The only issue is that you're not generally happy to captain any of them.

        Desperate to do wildcard in nay of the upcoming GWs. But the decisions that I have to make before doing that are
        1. Which cheap GK should I select from now onwards?
        2. Salah or Mane?
        3. Which 3 Premiums players to select?
        4. Do I need to select a Premium forward now?

        Anyone Like to help here?? Please suggest. Thank you

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

          I was tempted to go king over wilson to let me bolster the midfield and get vardy but he's playing our wide of a midfield 4 I'm sure?

          Kills any appeal for me

            And be away from FPL for a while. You post more than 5 times a day, so many inputs might make you change this decent team into something that you'd later regret.

            A bit off topic but i think that Eliud Kipchoge deserves a shout out for what he is after achieving in Vienna today.

            Kipchoge has become the first man in history to run a marathon in under 2 hours which is a mind blowing pace over 26 miles.

            This is a video about how he prepared for this amazing feat of human endurance....

              Striker spots are already tough to choose. Auba, Vardy, Wilson & Abraham all look like better options.
