FPL Question Time – Consult our panel ahead of Gameweek 13

Following the final international break of 2019, Fantasy Premier League returns this weekend.

Gameweek 13 certainly feels like a long time since the last round of action and we are sure you have plenty of dilemmas and questions.

That’s why we’ve assembled another panel of managers to help you out…

WHO’S ON THE PANEL THIS WEEK?

Rainy: A long-serving Fantasy Football Scout moderator with a best finish of 3,585. Has always been grateful for the existence of Theo Walcott after he saved his Gameweek three years ago.

Maximus Bonimus Pointimus: Veteran Fantasy Football Scout member, poster, and widely acknowledged as a bastion of truth, logic and reason in the wild world of Fantasy football discussion. Currently pursuing an elusive fifth top 10k finish, and with an overall career-best rank of 958th, the highs and lows of 12 FPL campaigns have left him completely desensitised to seeing good players get bad scores in good fixtures – and vice-versa!

Karan14: FFS community member who has finished in the top 10k in each of the last three seasons.

    Shall I drop Salah this week or roll the transfer? Midfield currently Mane/Salah/KDB/Mount (Cantwell)

    Probably would be for Maddison then upgrade 3rd 4,5 striker to Jiminez next GW

    1. Tomerick
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Keep rollin rollin rollin rollin.

    2. kamehamehanks
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Bank the transfer; Salah might come good this week, fitness and returns-wise

  2. Von Lipwig
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Bottomed...

    2FTs, thinking:
    Salah + Wilson > Mane + Jimi
    Thoughts?

  3. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Salah to Mane before weekend or save and stick with Salah?

      Wait for injury news

    Lost on last page

    In your opinion which midfield has more potential for a better points return in the next 4 -6 GWs

    A or B

    Mane KDB Maddison Dendoncker Pulisic

    or

    Mane/KDB (which 1???) Maddison Pulisic Mount Dendoncker

    Any ideas would be welcomed

    1. Von Lipwig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      B. Mane and KDB better points potential than Mount... surely?

  5. AzzaroMax99
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    I already spent my 2 FT. Bought Tielemans and Jimenez.
    If Salah out, Mane for a hit is a no brainer?

  6. LM00091
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    G2G for GW13?

    (3-5-2)
    Ryan / (Button)
    TAA, Lundstram, Söyüncü (Rico, Tomori)
    Mane(c), Salah, Mount, Tielemans, KDB
    Vardy, Abraham (Greenwood)

    1. jia you
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      looks strong GTG

  7. simong1
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    RMT. Any suggested changes? 1 FT, 3.1 ITB

    Pope - Mc Govern
    TAA - Lundstram - Soyuncu - Rico - Willems
    Mane - Mount - KDB - Maddison - Dendocker
    Vardy - Jimenez - Abraham

    1. Taegugk Warrior
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      OMG... the only different this with my squad is Pope. I have ryan

    2. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      We have 14/15 of same players!

      I have Salah vs your KDB

      Def G2G imo - I am bricking it having no MCI and an injured Salah!!

  8. jia you
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Any Richarlison cappers on here?
    Getting more and more tempted to take the plunge myself!

    1. Dannywaz
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Raheem sterling

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        50/50 between the two actually... might flip a coin before deadline! 🙂

        1. Party time
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Dammit! use the machine already 😉

            1. jia you
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 4 months ago

              it's still having technical difficulties

              1. Party time
                  4 years, 4 months ago

                  I slapped mine & it worked last gw. Would do the same this gw except if otherwise. GL buddy 🙂

        2. PapaWengzz
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Sterling

        3. Alexxx
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          sticking with Vardy

        4. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Think he is bet option this GW. Would cap if I had.

          1. Miguel Sanchez
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            *best

        5. Shineonme
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Imo the best 3 captain choices this week are Sterling. Mane. Vardy.

          1. Pieterke30
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Agreed. In what order though?
            Currently considering them in the order you wrote them

        6. Smurf
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Yep. Had him 4 GW’s now with the plan of captaining him this GW in mind.

        7. KDB4PREZ
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Between him and Kun for me still undecided

      2. Azathoth
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        2 FTs and 0.0 ITB
        Kun & Yarmo to Auba & Tiely Y or N?

        Thanx

        1. jia you
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          N

        2. Shineonme
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          I wouldn't want Aub personally

        3. Wılly
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Nobody likes Auba here but I'd be tempted. Arsenal are not in the best of form though but they do have the fixtures to generate it.

      3. jia you
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        3pm games are going to be interesting this Saturday with 8 starters (hopefully) for me and then 2 more in the 5.30pm!
        FPL Super Saturday 🙂

        1. The Ejiptian King
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          A Heartbeat marathon would be more interesting than this IB.

          1. jia you
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            hear you mate... no more til March now 🙂

        2. Don Kloppeone
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Same! 8@ 3pm, 2@ 5:30 and Lunds the next day

      4. Taegugk Warrior
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Ryan
        TAA/Lundstram/Willems
        Mane/debruyne/maddison/mount
        Vardy/abraham/jimenez

        Mcgovern-Soyuncu-Rico-dendocker
        1FT.

        A. Willems to Robo
        B. Save FT.

        1. cheeky moses
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Wait for news on Robbo injury

        2. Don Kloppeone
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Looks fine

          I'm personally playing Soy over Willems but it's relatively close

      5. cheeky moses
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Got 4.8 ITB, best replacement for King as third striker:
        A) Auba
        B) Ings (save money for upgrades elswhere)
        C) Jimmy (save money for upgrades elswhere)

        Current team:
        Ryan
        TAA, Soy, Lund
        Mané, KDB, Maddison, Mount
        Vardy, Tammy, (...)

        1. Tshelby
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          C

          1. cheeky moses
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            cheers

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

          Identical set up plus Pulisic in midfield and Pope in goal and a rotting Ota

          Went Ings to rotate with Mount. Glorious fixtures and decent bench cover should KdB get a rest (think he will).

          Like idea of cash itb for the busy period. Also eying Son from Mount.

          1. cheeky moses
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Nice! Yeah I like Ings. Only concern is his fitness over a busy period.

        3. Shineonme
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          C. I wouldn't go near any arsenal Player atm

      6. Atimis
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Worth risking (c) Auba over Vardy?

        1. cheeky moses
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          yes imo.

        2. Tomerick
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Nope

        3. hustler7

        Ramsdale
        Pereira
        Lundstram
        Robertson

        Snodgrass
        McGinn
        De Bruyne
        Maddison

        Rashford
        Vardy
        Abraham

        1. Alexxx

            4 years, 4 months ago

            noted. Thank you.

        3. Pinturicchio10
            4 years, 4 months ago

            A) Midfield is weak
            B) Vardy

            1. Alexxx
              • 4 Years
              4 years, 4 months ago

            • 4 Years

            Team presentation definitely has room for improvement

          Who to Bench?
          A-Yarmolenko
          B-Mount
          C-Soyuncu
          D-Lundstram

          Who to Captain?
          1-Vardy
          2-Sterling
          3-Mane

          1. jia you
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            C2

          2. FC Hakkebøf
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Between A and C for me

            Sterling. Home advantage in what could be a free scoring game. But you can't go wrong with either of them imo.

          3. PapaWengzz
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

          Hi all,

          2 Free Transfers

          Pope (buttton)
          Tamori Arnold Lundstrum (Kelly-Otamendi)
          KDB Mount Madisson Salah (Cantwell)
          Jiminez Abraham Vardy

          1: Is Pereira worth it over Chillwell and Chillwel worth it over Soyuncu?
          2: Salah to Mane worth it yet or wait?
          3: Salah and Otamendi to Mane & Periera?
          4: Upgrade Mount to Pulisic

          Decisions decisions. Team looks very template which I hate.

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

            Otamendi > Soyuncu

          2. jia you
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            1. Prob, Maybe
            2. Wait on injury update
            3. see 2
            4. still a bit sideways for me

          3. FC Hakkebøf
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            1. Depends on how you spend the spare Cash in either scenario
            2. Wait for presser and then decide
            3. Could you just do Ota to Pereira?
            4. Depends on the SV of Mount. If you like me bought him at 6.0 I would defo keep for now

          4. PapaWengzz
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            1. No, Maybe
            2. Worth it
            3. Dont see why not
            4. Yes

          5. Pinturicchio10
              4 years, 4 months ago

              1) yes - no
              2) only if injured
              3) depends on injury status
              4) not this week

          6. Party time
              4 years, 4 months ago

              Good luck all! It feels like a gw with a low average score. I hope not & we all smash it

              1. jia you
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 4 months ago

                    4 years, 4 months ago

                    Jamie Vardy most likely 🙂 . I would still use our machine on Friday to be sure. Hopefully it is 10/13 this weekend... Best of luck this gw buddy

                    1. jia you
                      • 7 Years
                      4 years, 4 months ago

                      Cheers mate, haha def but can't argue with the Vardy call too much...GL

                Thoughts on this WC?

                Henderson Pope
                TAA Robertson Pereira (Lundstram Rico)
                Mane Maddison Martial Pulisic (Dendoncker)
                Vardy Abraham Jimenez

                  • 11 Years
                  4 years, 4 months ago

                  Looks good. No city is a concern though.

                  1. Wılly
                    • 10 Years
                    4 years, 4 months ago

                    The only City asset I'm looking at is Dilva, I think the cheaper players in the 7-8m range can match them over this stretch of fixtures until GW20

                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 7 Years

                    If rotation is such a big deal then I'm sure he will be in and out as first sub

                    What would you do with 1.5m?

                      Honestly would bank for now. 3 premium defenders is far too much especially considering Lundstrams form and upcoming fixtures. The money ITB will make it easier to bring in another premium mid/forward when necessary.

                    If not I'd opt for Jimenez

                  Any other Salah captainers on here (if confirmed fit!). Or am I being too 2017/2018?

                    Unfortunately I'm pretty sure we won't be given the satisfaction of a definitive "He's fit to play" or "He's not fit to play".

                    Knowing Klopp and the type of injury it's going to be a "we need to monitor and see in training and decide last minute" type of conclusion imo

                      Prefer Mane in this fixture. Prefer Vardy over both.

                    If Salah is declared fit which transfer?
                    A mount to Pulisic
                    B Sterling to Mane

                    rest of mid Maddison KDB Salah

                      4 years, 4 months ago

                      I'd be more worried about losing Sterling that Mount, so A for that reason.

                    Finding this thought process challenging. My attack is fine but will probably make a change next week.
                    My defence is a bit rubbish. I’m considering saving a transfer and playing Mendy this week, hoping that he plays. The idea would be to then simply shift Mina out next week ahead of his crazy fixtures.

                    What would you do here? Save FT or move on a defender this week for TAA or Chilwell.
                    Def:
                    Mendy Alderweireld Mina Kelly Lord

                        4 years, 4 months ago

                        I'd probably take a hit to be honest. Mendy and Alderweireld out for TAA and other.

                        I currently have Maguire, Martial and Lundstram in my team.
                        I need to bench one. Lundstram right?

                        Your thoughts?

                          Mount to Tielemans with FT? (Have exact funds)
                          Or wait for Salah news(Have Mane already so would get Sterling If I were to sell Salah)
