    Why all the gw31 talk? Big dgw?

      I wondered the same

      Opposite, big blank.

      1. Tsparkes10

        For who exactly?

        For who exactly mate

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

          Depends on FA Cup results, only 2 games definitely going ahead atm.

          1. One Man
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Which 2 games ?

        2. One Man
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          What we do know for certain for Blank Gameweek 31 is that the below four Premier League teams 100% do have a fixture.

          Wolves vs Bournemouth

          Burnley vs Watford

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

            Plus one extra game 100% guaranteed - either spurs or Norwich match

            Then Pool match might be a fourth game if Klopp fields the kids vs Chelsea

            That looks to be all though unless there are cupsets

            1. One Man
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Yes prob also the Norwich V Everton match. Very important week to save the FH for.

    This worth bench boosting this week folks??
    Henderson
    TAA Boly O’Connell
    Salah KDB Bruno Fleck
    Aguero Ings Jimenez
    Subs- Pope H.Barnes Stephens Fernández

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Would be v tempted yup

    2. Zenith UK
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah if you’ve got the flexibility to maybe switch out Barnes though?

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

        Yes mate 2.2 in the bank but no free transfer left, did Son to Bruno

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          your team probably looks bench boost worth most weeks, not convinced its still the best week tho.

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Thanks mate yeah I think il probably save it for a double gameweek makes more sense really.

        2. Zenith UK
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Fairs. Risk it then. We (WHU) had a fair few opportunities - in terms of whipping the ball across City box - so LEI may have more success (namely Barnes onto Vardy).

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

            Yeah your right mate I do see Leicester scoring, guna give it some serious thought but think il wait for a double gameweek to use it.

            1. Zenith UK
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              I’m in same boat as you. Two comments down. Thoughts?
              Thing is. It’s finding a DGW with fixtures like we have

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

                Yeah mate it’s a tricky one, I did my wildcard last week and I’ve got for
                Example triple Sheffield United as they will have two doubles and They have home games in 34 and 37 hence why I got Fleck coz that’s where he’s scoring his points and with one eye on the bench boost, with you team I’d mate hold on to in and strengthen your bench a bit more before you do it , coz you have a couple of rotation risks and a non playing keeper.

    Is Bruno the only price change anticipated this morning?

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Allison looks like he could rise, potentially a bunch of fallers too.

      1. GreennRed
        • 12 Years

        Cheers. Where can I see fallers on FPL stats?

        Cheers lads. Only interested in Vardy and DCL movement. Looks like I'll be grand until tomorrow or Sat morning to sell Vardy.

  4. Zenith UK
    • 7 Years

    Bottomed out!
    Tempted to BB GW27.... thoughts please?

    McCarthy
    TAA, Robbo, Stephens
    Mane (c), KDB, Barnes, Traore
    Auba, Jimi, Ings

    Button, Lund, Williams, Hayden

    B 1.8M | FT 1

    Button upgrade as he's the only non-starter or another alternative? I'm also toying with Lund > Boly (would mean I have 12 players for GW28 as well)

    The only person with a "tricky" fixture for GW27 would be Barnes v City. Granted the entire bench may not start, but isn't that the risk we run? *Note* I have no WC left to play.

    I had two free transfers but I decided that Vardy > Jimi was fine and GW28 I'll still have 11 players (providing Hayden/Williams start) but if I want to reinforce I can do Auba > Vardy (tasty Norwich fixture)

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

      I wouldn't, I think there'll be better opportunities, even without WC.

  5. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    If I get Mane in as well to go with Salah, I assumed captain choice would ust be a nightmare. But really, just cap Salah for home games and Mane away. Havent crunched the numbers but thats probably the way. Might get the calculator out in a minute to compare

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

      Cap choice is a nightmare anyway.

    2. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A lot of money to effectively use every other week while there are players who are topdogs on other teams could be getting you better balance and points.

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        there isnt anyone to buy tho lol, my team would look like this:

        Henderson (Foster)
        TAA - Boly - Lundstra, (Lascelles, Taylor)
        Mane - Salah - Grealish - Traore - KDB
        Ings - Jimi (Deulofeu?)
        IDK who else I would spend that money on, other than sitting on 3.5mil. Could punt on Vardy or something instead of Mane, but is it worth it, dont think so.

        1. Tsparkes10
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Pepe

  6. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years

    Set with this for GW27, GTG or anything worth transfers? Thanks!

    Henderson
    TAA Stephens Boly
    Salah [C] KDB Martial Traoré
    Vardy Firmino Ings

    Gazza Grealish Rico Soyuncu

  7. Moolaah

    RMT
    Henderson
    TAA, Robbo, Lundstram, Lascelles
    KDB, Mane, Traore, Grealish
    Ings, Auba
    Button, DCL, Maddison, Soy

    1.2 ITB
    How should I improve this team? So much value on the bench? But it is for this GW only, Maddy and Soy should back in the eleven after this GW ended

    Hi guys, really lost on team below, might just save FT 1.3 ITB?

    Henderson / 4.0

    TAA, Robbo, Bardsley / Lundstrom, Sidibe

    Salah(c), Lucas M, KDB, Grealish / Hayden

    Vardy, Jimenez, Ings

    Cheers all 🙂 could really use some thoughts

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Good to save tbf. Start Lund over Bardsley personally

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

        Is Lundy back?

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

        Why? He’s been dropped and nothing to suggest the contrary..

        1. Niho992
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          He doesnt know anything about his team as usual.

          1. Tsparkes10
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Hahahaha, bigger upside. Burnley are poor and if Lund does start he hauls. If not he could well come on and score again. No need to get upset mate

            1. Niho992
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              You also said Besic is world class and he will play in XI.

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

              "Burnley are poor" - not according to the table they're not.
              "If Lund does start he hauls" . Lol

  10. KDB4PREZ
    • 4 Years

    Any news on how long Abraham injured for? Tia

    1. One Man
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No sure but Chelsea's form would exclude him from my thoughts

  11. Bad Kompany
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts? 1 ft. .2 itb.

    Guaita
    TAA VVD Tarkowski O'Connell
    Salah(c) KDB Bergwijn Martial
    Ings Vardy

    Button Digne Greenwood Dendonkey

    Thinking of just saving and reaccessing next week.

  12. Nabs Kebabs
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on Robertson, Son -> Boly, Mane (-4)?

    Henderson
    TAA Robbo Stephens
    Salah(c) KDB Son Grealish
    Aubameyang Jimenez(vc) Ings

    Pope Rico Hayden Soyuncu

    1FT, 0.3m

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

      My honest thoughts on Robbo out for a (-4) before any fixture is - don’t go there - stick with him

      Before WHM... really wouldn’t advise it

      He could get sent off, injured or blank of course - but generally he brings home the bacon more often than not

      1. Nabs Kebabs
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I want to keep Robbo but the problem is the lack of midfield options to get in for Son.

    2. Bad Kompany
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I didn't like the Liverpool attacking double up earlier as I don't normally like having two players over 10 from the same team as you'd only captain one of them and the other wouldn't offer any value but right now money doesn't seem to be a problem (a lot of premium options are injured or have difficult fixtures and blanks) so I think they're good moves

    3. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Just get Bruno/Martial or Richarlison

  13. Bruno Commando
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Bench 1:

    A) Mooy - SHU (A)
    B) Hayden - CRY (A)
    C) Stephens - AVL (H)

      B

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

    Will we see a Sutherns Wildcard special this week?

    I think he has 4x GW28 blankers (including both GK’s), Son + a selection doubt in Williams

    1. Bad Kompany
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      team link or user id?

        1. Niho992

          4 years, 1 month ago

          He really has poor season and look his previous season. He nailed it.

          Just proof that this is season of casuals.

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

            Alas it looks like he’s heading for a 4th season in the last 7 outside the top 10k

            Makes next season interesting either he pulls it back to 4 in 8 or deteriorates further to 3 in 8

            1. Gnu
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Don't fancy mentioning his OR's of 42, 115 or 1367 in the last 5 seasons.

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

                They're the three seasons in the top 10k in the last 7 though?

                1. Gnu

                  • 14 Years

                  That's correct, so keep spinning away.

                Is it really amazing? I wouldn't consider it amazing personally... More like quite routine tbh but maybe that's just me! 😉

                What I did find quite interesting was that transferring Aguero in after his massive haul led to such disappointing scores from him in the last 3 weeks 😉

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years

      probably, he doesnt have 2 FTs either.

    Question for the members site - when there are DGW, and BGW, the available filters I can see don't give the view that's required?

    "Last 6 gameweeks" means that those with DGW or BGW skew the data, and "Last 6 Games" doesn't take into account injuries, benched games etc.

    Is there a filter "Last 6 possible games"?

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Nope - this shows a players last six matches, so players like Kane will appear on the list despite being out for some time.

          Use Son as an example, 6 matches doesn't include his ban and includes GW18.
          Of course you'd ignore Kane regardless.

    A - Grealish > Martial
    B - Bench Grealish in GW28

    Henderson Martin
    TAA VVD Stephens Rico Kelly
    Salah KDB Grealish Traore Cantwell
    Vardy Jimmi Ings.

      I like Grealish and I'm planning to just bench him myself. Sure, fixtures are not the easiest but Villa score goals and he normally creates them. In my opinion you should do the same, especially since you can easily field XI.

        Cheers. Leaning towards benching at the moment.

    Opinions here would be appreciated:

    McCarthy
    TAA - VVD - Taylor
    Salah - KDB - Martial - Moura - Grealish
    Vardy - Jimenez

    Button, Lundstram, Rico, Greenwood

    2FTs, 0.3 ITB

    A) Prepare for blanks: Lundstram to Lascelles, roll the other FT
    B) Moura & Greenwood to Ings & Hayden

    1. Numbuster
      • 7 Years

      just spare 1 FT.. a or Rico> Lascelles?

      1. Greek Freak
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Sure, could sell Rico instead.

    Lundstram to Fernandez (Newcastle) or Stephens?
    Wanted to get boly but he is playing Tottenham next week and I have to play the player I get next week.....

      Spurs without Kane and Son with Mourinho... Perhaps they can score one, ok.

    Vardy & Fleck to

    A. Jimi & Traore

    B. Fernandez & DCL

    1. De Gea is GOAT
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A all day imo

    2. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A but shipping Vardy is sub optimal. I hope he goes down before I buy next week

    3. Numbuster
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      a

  25. Numbuster

    hello dz,

    would you keep Mahrez or not for this week
    1) Keep Mahrez
    2) trf up to who at 13.5 unit (with 1 hit)

    I have KDB Salah Fleck Hayden Mahrez**
    No Mane as i had triple Liverpool

    1. Greek Freak
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I'd keep (and would consider myself unlucky if he was benched again).

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I’m keeping

      Goal vs former club locked in

  26. RIDZ
    • 7 Years

    Any idea mid maximum 7.3 who also play gameweek 28?
    a) Zaha
    b) Armstrong
    c) others.....

    1. Numbuster
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      B would be differentials

  27. De Gea is GOAT
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    2FTS! Pick one option please:

    A) Vardy, Trossard TO Jimi, Traore

    B) KDB, Mousset TO Jimi, Traore

    C) Trossard TO Traore

    1. Numbuster
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      B, Depends how much did you bought in KDB

      1. De Gea is GOAT
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks guys! Had KDB from the start so lots of value tied up.

  28. Lev Yashin

    Maddison -> Martial and bench Traoré?

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      why would you bench Traoré v Norwich ?

  29. pingissimus
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I’ll need a hit before 28 to put 11 out in all likelihood. Does it make sense to go -4 this week to have a bench for possible KdB benching? Or do I just wait a week. Plan was Greenwood to Wood but he’s likely out.

    Ryan
    TAA Baldock Lascelles
    KdB Mo Mane Martial Fleck
    Ings Jim

    Button Holgate Greenwood Kiko
    4.4 itb

    A hold
    B Greenwood to Wilson
    C Greenwood to Jota
    D Kiko to Boly
    E Kiko to Taylor

    1. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      F Greenwood to DCL

    2. De Gea is GOAT
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      C or D for me. I also have a feeling KDB might be benched

      1. pingissimus
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Jota is a real temptation.

        His stats so far this season are well up on this time last year - bar the minor detail of not sticking the ball in the net.

        He’s clearly in some sort of form.

        1. De Gea is GOAT
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Agreed! especially with a hatty last night. You may have convinced me to get him

  30. rodragon

    Is Taa Robbo Doherty too much money in the def?I was thinking of getting doc for lundstram...

    1. De Gea is GOAT
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Boly also a good shout

    2. mixology
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I’d love to make that transfer if I had the money. I’m going to load up in defense as a differential. Not too many midfielders I’m interested in

    3. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Im looking at Pereira - just not this week.
