    Grealish > Barnes for free?

    1. FPLtfs

      Im strongly considering it. Look below

  2. FPLtfs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    4 years, 1 month ago

    Bit of advice, please;
    a) Auba, Grealish, Lundstram -> Vardy, Barnes, Doherty (-4).
    Sidibe comes in IF Martial is out.

    b) Lundstram and Grealish -> Saiss and Barnes.
    Sidibe in Xl and Romeu comes in if Martial is out.

    1. DAZZ
      • 9 Years

      Wouldn’t be losing Auba for a -4

        Cheers. Vardy might do well though, and feels weird having KdB and Auba benched 🙂

      No idea, fplstats is down for me.

      1. Lazaretti

        Same here

  7. Don Kloppeone

    This Martial (potential) news is so annoying!!

    Was planning on just an FT and no hits!!

    1. I Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Same here. Think I'll take a hit for Fernandes if he's out.

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Do you think we’ll actually get something reliable tomorrow though...?

        1. I Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          No I don't. Think it's going to have to be a gut call.

          1. Don Kloppeone
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Arghh

            I can do:
            Cantwell > Barnes
            Martial > Bruno
            (-4)

            For exact cash tonight.

    2. Yank Revolution

      Absolutely

      1. Don Kloppeone

        What do you reckon you’ll do?

          Thanks, just seen.

          🙁

    Petition to make Jota a mid like last season?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      TAA would be a mid too then.

    2. Klaren
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      He is back to playing striker, so unless the formation changes again, won't happen.

    3. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Couldn't care less about players positions tbh

  9. Kaptenen
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Grealish or Traore out? Would probably get Bruno or Richarlison

  10. Rhodes your boat
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    What does dendo and Traore playing big minutes tonight mean for the weekend? Currently playing both

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Run

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Dendoncker no use still, Traore not far off that too.

      1. how now brown cow
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        You've no idea.

        It's donker's week to shine.

        1. I Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Dendoncker was born for BGW28.

    3. Free Hat
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      One of the two will start

    4. The Cisco Kid
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Nuno has had no problems playing Doherty I’m just about every game. I think he’s do the same with Dendoncker. Traore seems less certain.

    Re-posting on this article as previous one has just been superceded.

    You want advice in the Traore & Wolves formation situation?

    I really don't know what to do with this and would love some help. 0.4m in the bank and 1 transfer.

    Ederson 
    Wan-Bissaka - Digne - Pereira - TAA - van Dijk
    Maddison - Mané - Mount
    Jiménez - Jota

    McGovern - Drinkwater - De Bruyne - Greenwood

    1. The Cisco Kid
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      This looks like a wildcard team! Try to find out what’s going on with Digne—I would like Doherty instead. Otherwise, I think you keep what you have and wait for more information next week.

      1. WorldCupDanB
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        You wouldn't try and get a playing keeper?

    2. Pulisic 4 President
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Keep FT.

  13. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    So it’s 343 or 352 for Wolves.

    343 Traore vs 352 Dendoncker.

    An extra body in midfield vs double ups on both flanks.

    Interesting to see what Nuno does at Spurs. Would expect Dendoncker & more solidity.

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

      Link above points otherwise, but it's not a science 😛

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

        Maybe, Spurs can’t really be considered a top side this season.

    2. Klaren
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      They have been playing well and getting the results since they moved to 352 so highly doubt he'll change it.

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

        They were actually pretty atrocious tonight.

        1. Klaren
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah I didn't take today into account as it was a formality match but don't know if it would impact Nuno's decision making.

  14. el polako
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Could the whole Martial injury just a smoke screen ?

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

      Doubt it, very weird game to just rest him.

      Maybe an Ole smokescreen with him being badly injured.

      1. I Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Ole underplaying the injury seems much more likely than him not being injured.

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

      A smokescreen for what? They're playing an important Europa League knockout game and he isn't in the squad.

      1. el polako
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah I guess you right.
        I just dont trust little Frodo

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

          Frodo hahaha

  15. I Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    A) Bruno Fernandes (eve)
    B) Rico (CHE) + 4 points

    Surely worth the hit to get Bruno rather than playing Rico right?

    1. FPL Alaska
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      If just this GW, B

      Long term A

  16. Henning
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Hmmm Bruno in for Martial for free?
    2 Friends that chasing in ml have Fernandes

    Repost:

    What to do here 1FT 3.9ITB

    plan was Stevens > Doherty but now its more complicated...can see a lot of 1 poiters and non starters

    McCarthy
    TAA - VVD - Holgate* - Rico*
    Salah - Martial* - Barnes - Traore*
    Igns - Greenwood*

    Auba - KDB - Stevens

  18. Pompel
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Richarlison the form and stats pick, but ouch those fixtures. Also have DCL, so are the likes of Armstrong, Maddison/Barnes or St.Maximin the better picks for next three, given the superior fixtures?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Richa probably plays GW31 if that matters.

      1. Pompel
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, got that in mind as well, but will probably play free hit then, but not quite decided yet.

  19. FPL Alaska
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Would you do either of Grealish or Dendoncker out for a hit? Used FT, 4.7 ITB
    Ryan
    TAA, VVD, Soy, Saiss
    Salah, Martial, Grealish*
    Vardy, DCL, Ings
    (Button; Dendocker*, KDB, O'Connell)

    A) Grealish out -4 (Fernandes, Richarlison, Barnes)
    B) Dendoncker out -4 (Barnes, Armstrong)
    C) Play Dendoncker (no backup if Martial out)

    1. I Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I would lose Grealish. At least Dendoncker has a game.

    2. Klaren
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Wait until tomorrow, if no news on Martial, do B with Barnes. Martial doesn't recover from injuries that quickly usually.

  20. Champions League Varane

    While watching match Yay or nay?

    KDB +Gomez TO Mane+6.0 defender =-4

    KDB back for Burnley..

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Majority will say "don't sell KDB"

    2. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Thinking of something similar but with Firmino transfer out

  21. Rainer

    4 years, 1 month ago

    Mignolet on one here...

  22. The Seagulls and the Trawle…

    Hi guys,

    Do we know the season’s BGW and DGW?

    Cheers

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      28 and 31 for BGW
      34 and 37 for DGW and others

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Big blank 31, small on this GW.

      DGW37, 34 will be a DGW and maybe a BGW for 1/2 teams.

      If City go far in Europe, they’ll need another separate DGW, that could still yet be in 29.

    3. The Seagulls and the Trawle…
      • 6 Years

    Help. 9 players with Martial out and need to take a hit 🙁 1.3 ITB any 1FT. suggestions ?

    Pope

    TAA - Robbo - Soyoncu

    Salah - KDB* - Martial* - Mcneil

    Vardy - Ings - DCL

    Button - Egan - Targett - El Ghazi

    A : El Ghazi > Barnes ( Play 10, free )
    B : Save FT ( Play 9 )
    C : Martial & El Ghazi > Richarlison & Barnes -4
    D : Martial & Targett > Barnes & Doherty -4
    E : Other suggestions ?

  24. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Another United pen.

    Bruno will be essential at this rate.

  25. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Lampard should by Brugge's S.Deli to replace Kepa

  26. Slitherene
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Ryan Button
    Robertson Holgate Lascelles
    Perez Salah Mane KdB*
    Ings Aubameyang* DC-L
    Egan* Doncker Fodder*

    How about these moves for a hit?

    Fodder + KdB -> Soyuncu + Maddison
    Allowing me to get Jimenez for DC-L next week.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      When would you get KDB back?

      1. Slitherene
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Might get Sterling or Sane towards the end of the season.

        1. TorresMagic™

          • Has Moderation Rights

          Good luck if he stays on penalties.

    1. Rainer

      Silly one.

  28. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Surely it doesn’t matter if Mignolet was going to save it?

    It’s still an opportunity for a goal being denied.

    1. Henning
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I agree.

      2

    2. Tinkermania

      I will say 2, only because I own and I am keeping so he can become a differential.
