Top 10k Wildcarders realigning squads around Liverpool attackers

5% of the top 10,000 Fantasy Premier League managers have already used their second Wildcard of the season.

Just under 2% activated the chip at the first opportunity in Gameweek 21 and a further 3% have pulled the trigger for Gameweek 22.

Not surprisingly, it was the most deployed chip for the current round of action, with minuscule usages for the Triple Captain (0.07%), Free Hit (0.11%) and Bench Boost (0.79%).

Compared to the overall base of players, the top 10k have been a little more patient with their second Wildcards.

While 3.1% of these managers have overhauled their squads, 3.4% of the worldwide population has shaken things up too.

Top-level managers on the Wildcard right now have taken this opportunity to try and invest in some emerging trends.

Most notably, there has been a shift towards a double-up on the Liverpool midfield ahead of Double Gameweek 24.

Sadio Mané (£12.3m) is the clear favourite among normal top 10k squads, currently owned by 80.1% while Mohamed Salah (£12.3m) is not in the top-five most-popular midfielders at that level.

However, he appears in 41.6% of the squads of top 10k managers who have Wildcarded for Gameweek 22.

We see a similar story in defence with Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.5m) in at least 78% in both top 10k squads and Wildcard teams at that level, while Andrew Robertson (£7.0m) appears only among the top-five defenders for those who have overhauled their players for Gameweek 22.

The Liverpool left-back sits in 22.1% of such squads, indicating that those making preparations for Double Gameweek 24 currently prefer the offensive double-up over the defensive one.

Liverpool’s upcoming double is not the only emerging trend at this level as Wildcarders have also targetted recent improvements at Everton and Southampton.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£5.9m) has three goals in as many Premier League matches since Carlo Ancelotti came on board, helping him become the third-most-popular forward among top 10k Wildcarders for Gameweek 22.

The Everton man appears to have come in largely at the expense of Tammy Abraham (£7.8m) who remains the third-most-popular striker among top 10k managers (35.3%) but has not been considered so highly by the Wildcarders.

Elsewhere, two clean sheets in the last four Southampton matches has triggered some interest in Alex McCarthy (£4.3m).

The Saints’ poor start to the season has helped their goalkeeper drop to a kind price, which could help the 22.7% of top 10k Wildcarders enjoy value for money in the coming weeks.

As we reported this week, Southampton have conceded just four big chances in their last four matches, second only to Liverpool during that period.

Interestingly, no West Ham player has made their way into the top 10k Wildcard template even with Double Gameweek 24 on the immediate horizon.

Jamie Vardy‘s (£10.0m) return from a recent calf injury will come as beautiful news to over half of Fantasy managers currently inside the top 10k.

After the Leicester man won the most recent Fantasy Football Scout captain poll, he has earned massive support among the world’s most in-form managers too.

In fact, his command of armbands looks to be even stronger at this level than in our own community.

35.5% of you voted for Vardy as the best captain option for Gameweek 22 but he has amassed a whopping 52.3% support for the armband among the top 10k this weekend.

Such large effective ownership (147.6%) could be the setting for a make or break week for some Fantasy managers.

Those perhaps best placed to capitalise if Southampton’s newfound defensive form does frustrate Vardy at the King Power Stadium are Fantasy managers backing Kevin de Bruyne (£10.6m).

Ahead of a trip to Aston Villa, who have conceded more shots in the box than any other side this season, the Belgian has been chosen as captain by 18% of the top 10k.

Arguably, the same goes for Mané captainers, as only 7.5% of the top 10k have handed their backing to the Liverpool midfielder ahead of a trip to Spurs.

          Tbf a 3.9 would be fine with that defence mate. Wouldn't be too afraid losing Martial and Madi for gw24

            Yes either martial madds or martial rams

    How long term is fab out ?
    Can i get away with a cheeky Button to Martin transfer & have a DGW GK 😛

    1. HamezMace
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Won’t know for sure until the scans.
      WHU linked with other keepers too so probably too risky to get Martin.

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks mate.
        Will keep close eye on it and decide close to gw 24 then.

    2. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I think DGW GK is overrated. RMT actually says I should play my first keeper McCarthy (cry) in the DGW ahead of Martin (lei+LIV). Which makes sense to me; Martin has almost no chance of any CS that week, while McCarthy has a chance.

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Fact that my first GK Pope has awful fixtures makes me interested tbh.
        Thanks for reply 🙂

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I’ve got Ryan (Bou) and Martin, and this is my dilemma too. No way I’d be using a transfer to bring in Martin unless my first choice keeper had a bad fixture

    3. Bird Raymond
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Thinking the same if they don't get another keeper in by then. They surely will though, apparently they have Randolph lined up from Middlesbrough.

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks for the information.

      2. pingissimus

        Hilariously Randolph is injured I believe

  3. Niho992

    So, Bruno Fernandes is close to Manchester United. Another fantastic player will be ruined by them.

      Lol we finally spend some money and all you can do is hate?

      1. Niho992
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Finally ? Lol.
        Maguire and Wan Bissaka costed about 140 milion

        1. UTD - HATED, ADORED, BUT NE…
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          If you believe the British media

          1. Niho992
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Ok. I will believe you, they came for free probably. Lol.

          2. George Sillett
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            What do you mean "If you believe the British media?"
            His figures are slightly incorrect but Maguire at £80M and Wan Bissaka at an initial £45M is hardly peanuts. And another point United fans seem to have this thing that the British are specifically anti United . What a load of crap. It's called rivalry - there is plenty of anti Liverpool , anti Man City but it's ftom rival fans. As someone who has no allegiance to any of these clubs grow up.

            1. Niho992
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 2 months ago

              I thought AWB deal was about 60 milion with bonus

              1. George Sillett
                • 8 Years
                4 years, 2 months ago

                That's why I went conservative to appease the deluded one - initial £45 + add ons.

            2. UTD - HATED, ADORED, BUT NE…
              • 4 Years
              4 years, 2 months ago

              I have friends that have been to England and they say you lot hate us tbf. I’m not getting into transfer fees as at the end of the day no-one knows except Utd and Leicester. But I heard Maguire paid part of the transfer fee ge wanted to come that much

              1. George Sillett
                • 8 Years
                4 years, 2 months ago

                So you're basing your argument on second hand information ? LOL.

                1. UTD - HATED, ADORED, BUT NE…
                  • 4 Years
                  4 years, 2 months ago

                  I’ve not been to England (thank God) so don’t have much choice but it’s not hard to believe reading stuff on here

                  1. George Sillett
                    • 8 Years
                    4 years, 2 months ago

                    I think that you possibly need to take your United blinkers off and read the adverse comments about other clubs. Also remember that a lot of it comes from people who are not English but overseas supporters just like yourself.

                    1. Niho992
                      • 5 Years

                      He is troll. Just like @mega pie something

                • 12 Years
                4 years, 2 months ago

                Fans of other clubs used to hate United when they were good. They would often be referred to simply as "scum". These days they are a fallen giant and people aren't too fussed about them and feel a bit sorry for them if anything.

        2. UTD - HATED, ADORED, BUT NE…
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          And you know as well as I do what the British are like with their anti-Utd stuff

          1. Niho992
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Yup, British media is reason why United spent money on mediocrity

            1. UTD - HATED, ADORED, BUT NE…

                I'm glad you've gone back to your old stuff, I missed it.

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

      Hopefully he'll give us a much needed link between CM & Attack. Not sure he'll sign though

      1. Niho992
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        He is great player. Really wanted him in Liverpool last summer. He can play in 4-3-3 easily and he is goal scoring mid just like Gerrard was...

        ...but i think United could ruin him

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Most probably will at this rate 😀
          Fingers crossed though

  4. AbsolutelyNoIdea
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Was hoping Maddison wouldn’t play
    Have Flecks 9 on the bench

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      You benched fleck at home to West ham. You dont deserve em hehe

      1. bOttOmEdpOstrEpliEr.
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Fleck vs Westham at home
        Maddison vs Saints at home
        Of course Maddison is the better choice
        But
        Fleck vs Everton away
        Alli vs Liverpool away
        Here Fleck is the better choice
        I hope you have got my point, it is nor about home and away, neither fixture difficulty, it depends on the squad.

        1. Tsparkes10
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Wasn't my point that he'd play fleck over Madi :). Think he may have played Grealish over him though, we'll see how that works out

          1. bOttOmEdpOstrEpliEr.
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            If he have played Fleck over Grealish or something like that, then he doesn't deserve the points.

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Why would you play Madders if you hoped he wouldn't play?

    3. AbsolutelyNoIdea
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Guess I needed to re phrase what I said. Past tenths now. After Flecks 9 I am hoping Maddison was not going to play.
      Maddison was always first choice for me at home to Southampton.
      If Fleck had blanked we wouldn’t be discussing.

    Tough tough one here pls help A) Mads and DCL or B) Ings and Grealish (I have vardy). How hard is that to pick from... Presently edging just to Ings and grealish as DCL fixtures not great in near future. Appreciate some votes thanks

      A could also be Holgate + money to use elsewhere.

    2. FPL Theorist

      A, it's not even close

    3. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      A looks good mate. I'm thinking similar if I go for the double pool mids. Perreira, Martial, Alli to Soy, Salah and Traore or something like that. V tempted by Robo though as gives me way better funds throughout the team. See how both do tomz

    4. Amey
      • 5 Years

      Like A for your team.
      Although I've gone for DD. Your team looks like set up for Double midfield already

      Rico > Holgate/Stephens?

    2. Tsparkes10

      Depends on Madi and Martial tomz. Above look good or maybe punt on Sarr and Son

    3. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Martin so you have short-term GK cover and maybe even a DGW option when Hendo plays City

      Don't think so. You can do Martial + Alli -> Salah + fodder and then bring Cantwell off the bench, can't you?

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

      Yep

    3. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I'd look at downgrading Perreira to allow Fleck or Traore as my downgrade. Don't fancy fodder, Maupay, Rico and Cantwell all in one team tbh. All hard to upgrade with nothing itb aswell. Cheers though

  16. Amey
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Pretty excited to own Son now after this or next GW. Kane out means he'll be OOP too. He's a goalscorer. Don't see many able to afford him with Mo Mane double up too

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      On my radar if I go double pool defence but spurs just look a bit meh. Interesting one for sure

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Five goals so far from 21 gameweeks.
      Not great from that point of view if you are looking for a goalscorer.
      But I also believe he will do better with Kane out. Pretty consistent for points.

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        He has missed considerable amount of games though.

    3. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah, I had to settle for Alli

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I've sold Alli this GW. Will upgrade Willian to Son after this oe next GW

    4. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Think i will choose him ahead of Mane and bring Firmino as my Liverpool 3rd player

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Nice

    5. I Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Salah, Mane, KDB and Son?

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Too expensive maybe.
        Looks solid as .... though 😀

        1. I Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Definitely too expensive. I thought you were saying you somehow afforded that.

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Nope
            Robbo Taa
            I thought you're saying that midfield Is possible

        Nah he means him going double pool defence over double mid allows son. Whereas others don't have him as an option at all 🙂

        1. I Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Right. Son is a tasty differential but I wouldn't feel comfortable going into the DGW without Mane or Salah.

          1. Tsparkes10
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Fairs. I'm giving it tomorrows game to decide. Robo is on fire atm and so are pool cleanies.

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

            I'm comfortable tbh.
            Going to © Mane. Nit even going to think about TC chip.

            Will use on Jamie Vardy (hopefully they beat Villa in Cup SF though)

            1. I Member
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 2 months ago

              Salah TC for me most likely.

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

          Thanks for explaining for me my friend 🙂

      3. FPL.team
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I have Salah Mane KDB Sterling so could easily shift Sterling for Son and keep the change.

    6. Tony Moon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I like Son and want to get him in, but waiting to see if Spurs sign Piatek first. If they do, Son will be back on the wing - still not a bad option there though.

  17. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

    4 years, 2 months ago

    2FT 0ITB.. early thoughts?

    Fabianski*
    Trent Digne Lord
    Salah Mane KDB Martial
    Vardy Ings DCL

    (McGovern Cantwell Rico Kabasele)

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Wait for Fab news obviously. bad luck with the injury.
      I see Tony as a weak link bdw also don't rate DCL tbh

  18. T.Henry14
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Use free hit for Mane+Salah double GW, worth so much?

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Nahh
      You can surely get 3 of them. They have brilliant run of fixtures after that too

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Don't think the FH chip is worth it just for Pool and west ham playing one DGW.

    3. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Can't TC one then. Just get them by normal means.

  19. wildnothing
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Henderson Pope
    TAA Lundstram Sidibé Dunk Söyuncu
    KDB Salah Maddison Willian Traoré
    Vardy Rashford Maupay

    2 ft 1.6 itb. How about Pope (really bad schedule up coming) to McCarthy for one of the free transfers and roll the other?

    1. The_Fish
      • 5 Years

      Looks good

  20. QUEN

    Evening guys

    I’ve been afk for the week

    Can someone let me know when the approx double and blank weeks are (ignoring gw24). I need to start strategising

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Nothing has changed.
      GW 28 is a possible blank form EFL cup semifinalists who'll get into the final

    2. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      According to @BenCrellin on Twitter, 28 and 31 will be blanks, and 34 and 37 are the most likely doubles. BGW31 should be the largest blank with about 5 missing fixtures.

  21. kamdaraji
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    small green here with 6 points scored from lundy. up 4k places from 743k to 739k woohoo

  22. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    haha! Gotta laugh at my luck this season, it's like a neverending supply. Fabianski, i'm sure i'm not the only one though, meh.....

    Some early thoughts here? Will obviously wait until games are over though.
    Also, my god! i ACTUALLY have 2 FT's! what is happening to me!

    Fab-Hip-Inj
    TAA - Evans - Robbo
    Martial - Mane - KDB - Maddison
    Rashford - Vardy - DCL
    ___________________________
    Button: Lundstram: Kiko: Dendoncker

    2FT, 0.0 ITB.

    kKInda glad i'm not going double pool mids now as it would of been even harder with the Fab injury. Was thinking maybe son in while everyone else's heads are turned to double pool mids? Surely this bad luck has to end at some point 😉

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      E.g: Could do Martial + Rashford > Ings + Son, leaves 0.4 ITB as well. However, i need a damn keeper now as well.

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Like these transfers buddy

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Yo Amey! Cheers mate, i've only jsut noticed after scrolling up you're thinkin the same haha! Although i think i recall you already wanting to do this anyway. I like Son's odds with Kane out, seems to really step up in his absence, did last time Kane was out anyway.

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Yes. This was always the plan.
            Hard luck with Fab injury bro.

            1. Salah’s Sonnet
              • 12 Years
              4 years, 2 months ago

              Cool, i may very well be following ya with Son.
              It is indeed bad luck, but also probably a blessing in disguise.

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

            That's why i liked Pool DD

            1. Salah’s Sonnet
              • 12 Years
              4 years, 2 months ago

              For sure, it allows that bit more flexibility

              1. Amey
                • 5 Years
                4 years, 2 months ago

                Yep
                Also excitement during pool games. Those WINGERS are so attacking. They aren't defender's IMO 😀

                1. Tsparkes10
                  • 5 Years
                  4 years, 2 months ago

                  Exactly this. Was more threatened by Robo than Salah against us and he was on some corners and fks which weren't far off more assists

                2. Salah’s Sonnet
                  • 12 Years
                  4 years, 2 months ago

                  Yeah definitely more excitement, even if pool conceed they can still do great they're so attacking. they're essentially wingers, not to be thought of as sole defenders at all.

                  1. FPL.team
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 7 Years
                    4 years, 2 months ago

                    It is not more exciting owning Robbo over Salah.

                    1. Salah’s Sonnet
                      • 12 Years
                      4 years, 2 months ago

                      Kind of is in a way

                      1. FPL.team
                        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                        • 7 Years
                        4 years, 2 months ago

                        In which way?

    2. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Just out of interest, how many points in hits have you taken this season?

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        https://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/90005/history

        Alot, more than in any other season i have played i think, but i'm so used to playing aggresively. I started to lose the plot with a strong of -8's before WC'ing desperately trying anything to keep afloat.
        Pretty much anything i've done this season has been wrong, no matter what i've tried.

        1. kamdaraji
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          only 87 points behind me!

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Hehe, that's quite a lead you have on me, but anything can happen i guess. Keep going 😉

            1. kamdaraji
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 2 months ago

              do you still have your three chips and 2nd wildcard remaining?

              1. Salah’s Sonnet
                • 12 Years
                4 years, 2 months ago

                I have all chips remaining, but no 2nd WC, unfortuantely in my position it had to be played, otherwise i feel ground gained would be too late if played later on in season.

        2. The Ejiptian King
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          I have nothing to back this up of course but it feels like hits are riskier than ever this season with the increased amount of active teams and the information available on a widespread basis, it's still tight between the ranks so any hit that doesn't pay off seems to hurt.

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            No i completely agree with ya there, the whole game has shifted, hits have been much more riskier, but have also seen teams with each hit they've taken it's been a good result. Just such bad luck this season.

      2. kamdaraji
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        you have taken 76 points in hits!

        1. kamdaraji
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          I have taken 36

        2. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          I have indeed, previous seasons i've taken more! Makes me think that if i'd of stayed more patient and conservative in seasons past, i'd of finished a lot higher, but this season the whole dynamic has changed, like the reasons mention above by WEW

          1. kamdaraji
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            I have take hits in 7 gameweeks. Out of four of those I went up in rank and in 3 I dropped in rank and I did get rid of starting players most of the time

            1. Salah’s Sonnet
              • 12 Years
              4 years, 2 months ago

              Just how it goes i guess aint it mate. Overthinking has played a huge part in failings this season instead of just going off gut and nit taking as many hits. I plan now to make this my approach for the remainder of the season.

    3. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Chin up mate. He was blanking against us anyways :p, still do well this week I reckon unless poor man u show up then you're doomed. I've also 2FT and kinda shocked by it.

      Probs join you on TAA, Robo and Mane and maybe the son punt tbh. Pool vs spurs game will be huge for info

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Wil do matey, i'm actually surprised i haven't walked away from this season, but i know loads can change in these DGW's, even if i have indeed used my WC already.
        Would hate for Rashford to bang in a hatty as i left captain on him for most the week 😉
        Indeed, be a useful game to watch this Spurs Pool game for info.
        I won't lie, i can still do the double up on Mane & Salah, but it would come at the cost of no keeper, and destroys my balance a bit.

        1. Tsparkes10
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Yh exact same. Leaves me playing Rico, Cantwell, Maupay or a fodder every week and no money itb to upgrade if they all start slacking. Think I need to look at it as a whole and Robo + son over Salah + fodder for example seems way better

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            That does seem way better, i feel this double pool defence is gonna be looked back at and seen as the right decision all along, at least i hope.

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

          Last season i was 800k in GW 28 after kun destroyed me. Finished season with 128 k OR. Anything is possible especially with Chip's left. I think you need to play with your gut feeling now. You'll be fine imo after GW 38 !

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Kun destroyed me as well that time last season, was gutted, but managed to finish 40k so was pleased with that, and won all my mL's in the process.
            Definitely, still got my chips, so there's those to look forward to, i think they can keep me afloat amidts the WC's that will be used by others who still have it hopefully. More guy feeling, and less hits, hope i finish respectively and that you're right 😉

            1. Salah’s Sonnet
              • 12 Years
              4 years, 2 months ago

    Why do people choose not to link their teams? I'm really, who cares

    1. The_Fish
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I don’t know how tbh. Team id 190

      1. Soto Ayam
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Maybe it's not linked, sorry lemme clarify. When you click on somebody's name, you see their comment history and there is or isn't a link to the fpl website where you can see a players team, but with some people you can't. I just wonder why they do it.

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          It's not so much a question of why they do or don't do it, or like if they deliberately don't do it. A lot just don't bother or don't know how.

          1. Soto Ayam
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Oh really? My bad
            I was assuming that folk deliberately choose not to link it. Thanks

            1. Salah’s Sonnet
              • 12 Years
              4 years, 2 months ago

              No probs man

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

            Exactly this. No idea how. Like I said, my id is 190 so can see my bias when giving advice.

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I normally do, but this season i am far too ashamed to lol, funnily enough though, link is above if you fancy a laugh 😉

      1. kamdaraji
        • 14 Years

        i don't because I am doing rubbish!

        1. Soto Ayam
          • 4 Years

          Fair play...but I'm sure you're not the only one

      2. Soto Ayam
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Well I did try, but have to sign in to outlook, so I'll pass thanks. My history is far from anything special also. Think only last year i started to take this more seriously and only this season I've been coming here. I'll be happy to improve on my 300,000 ranking of last year hehe

      Not wanting rivals to see your plans if in money leagues.

      Privacy, e.g. you can find out somebody's name, and perhaps work out where they live, their friends and relatives and their workplace from the league's they are in.

      Not wanting your employer to see that you are on a fantasy football site when you are supposed to be working.

      1. Soto Ayam
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Rivals can see your team in the league that your all in, no?

        Completely agree about privacy, don't folk knowing all your business

  26. Niho992

    Salah (C) vs United anyone? Any better picks?

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Vardy, KDB and Cantwell all look tasty

    2. kamdaraji
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      KDB?

      1. kamdaraji
        • 14 Years

        Cantwell? U must be joking right

        1. Tsparkes10
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Anyone against Bourne is a worthy capt right now. Delu would've been considered if I had him this gw

      2. Niho992
        • 5 Years

        Dont have him but have Sterling and dont like to C players vs Palace..

    3. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I'm going Vardy, I like a differential captain but Burnley are rubbish and seem to crumble against the better sides this season, also somehow I'm now the only one with him in my 4 man cash ML, lol.

      Yeah either him or KDB for me. Leaning towards Salah. I know United usually keep it tight in that fixture but I can see Liverpool scoring a few this time around.

          I should of kept him on WC, may even have to bring him back in now before Fab drops for a like for like swap at 4.9 lol

            Hahaha, yh I'd have kept mate. Save points next 2 fixtured maybe even a Cs at arsenal. Then sweeeet fixtures for next 6 after

          Serious question, is he actually any good? He doesn't make many saves or seem to command his box and I've seen him concede a few this season that I think a keeper should be saving, was beaten at his near post tonight for the disallowed goal.

            Good finish tonight. Harsh to critisize him. Kept us in many games... Shows how good he is that he has the joint most Cs but not many save points imo. Have to be more alert. Defo best England goalkeeper and very commanding. Few examples of it tonight, also very young. Be buzzing if you ignore him and we steal him away for 25 mil or si

              Watch this if you can be bothered... Title is a bit OTT but some great saves.

        What happened to Fabianski

          Pulled his hammy, quad or did his hip again from a goal kick. Moyes sounded slightly positive in his press after the game but I wouldn't want to own him and a 4.0 atm

          I jinxed him with my flawless cursed season, i actually do feel 100% responsible.
          Hehe, he had a hip injury, did not look good and looks a reoccurence of the original injury he had.
