      To keep Auba or not to keep?

    Rico may drop!

  3. Wolfman180

    Is it worth doing Martial+Traore to Bruno+Barnes for a -8??
    My other mids are Salah, KDB and Cantwell

    1. Bobby Digital

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

        They are indeed.. but owning players that aren't likely to play is very bad

    2. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      looking at martial+sarr to bruno+barnes but for free
      for a hit would depend on how long martial missing i guess

      1. Wolfman180
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        If Traore and Martial dont play then I'm down to Salah and Cantwell this week :/ not ideal.

  4. Don Kloppeone
    • 6 Years

    Here’s my GW28 team. G2G?

    -4 1.9itb
    McCarthy
    TAA, VVD, Williams
    Salah (C), Fernandes, Barnes, Cantwell
    Vardy, Jimi, Ings
    (McGovern) (Holgate, KDB, Stevens)

    Holgate > LEI / WOL def next week or maybe Auba in if they have a DGW29

    Really cannot make my mind up here.

    A) Martial -> Bruno
    B) Traore -> Bruno
    C) Dendoncker -> Bruno
    D) Save

    1FT, 4.0 ITB

    McCarthy
    TAA/VVD/Soyuncu/Boly

      Great, a little more time to think about Martial to Fernandes for -4. I'm sure Ole will clear things right up tomorrow.

      1. Pooodle
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Is he scheduled for a press conference?

        I’ll be down to 10 players this week if Martial doesn’t make it so tempted to make the switch for -4 too.

    4. Trippier Hazard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Pleased about lack of double-rise for Fernandes, has there ever been a 0.2 rise in a player between 2 GWs this season?

      1. kamdaraji
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        of course

    Martial to Bruno done - couldn't afford a non player if Martial misses

          Pukki and Holgate weak links. Rest seems fine

        2. Bobby Digital
          • 6 Years

          I could get Bruno for Martial, but then I'd be without Vardy.

    Who to downgrade to fund Martial to Bruno

    O'Connell to Saiss

    Lascelles to Saiss

    1. osceola31909
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Lascelles to Saiss

    2. Bobby Digital

      OConnell if you must

  14. SuperMane Returns

    Bench one....
    Cantwell or Traore?

    1. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Cantwell

      1. SuperMane Returns
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Is that because you dont think Traore plays?

        1. SuperMane Returns
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Oops, I mean you think Traore plays 🙂

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

      Im playing Traore but a bit worried he won't start

      1. kamdaraji
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        played 80 mins in the Europa cup on Thursday night. Does this mean he'll start v Spurs? we can only wait and see

  15. Foozeball
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Have no one available on the bench for this BGW but have 1 FT

    Keep or sell Martial? I'm 0.1 short of a straight swap to Bruno Fernandes
    I could also sell Grealish given that Villa have bad fixtures after the blank anyways. Got him when he was cheap though, so would be difficult to get him back if he hits form again

    Current team:
    McCarthy
    TAA - Robertson - Soy - Taylor
    Salah - Martial* - Dendo
    Vardy - Jimenez - Ings

    Henderson, KdB, Grealish, O'Connell
    1 FT, 0.2 itb

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

      Martial to Bruno

      1. I Member

        lol

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

        I think you missed the part where I said I'm 0.1 short of making that change

    Hi all, thinking I need to use my FT to get a starter in as the starred players may not start...

    Ryan
    TAA. Robbo. Soyuncu
    Salah. Maddison. Martial. Traore
    Ings. Vardy. Greenwood*
    Button. Kelly* KDB. Egan

    A) Kelly > Boly

    C) Save

    1. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Are you going to play the transfer or bench?

      If bench I would save FT.

  19. jia you
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    So my Martial + Bruno differential lasted one GW, can't catch a break this season!

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

      Bruno is too impressive for doubters to question if he can continue the form. With Martial injured, his backers will just get Bruno as his direct replacement..

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

        yup, which is very annoying for me lol

    2. sunzip14
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Martial did the same earlier in the season. Perform for 2-3 gws and get injured. Frustrating to watch as well. However, did tick along nicely whenever I owned him. So, getting rid is better? Does Ole have press conference today?

    3. kamdaraji
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Don't worry. He'll haul as I didn't get him

  20. kamdaraji
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    hopefully no hits this week will result in a rank rise

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

      Fingers crossed! Good luck!

      1. kamdaraji
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        cheers

    2. jia you
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      thinking the same... might just keep Martial this GW rather than taking a hit

    3. sunzip14
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Was thinking of saving a transfer out of the 2 for possible dgw news but might have to use both now

    4. ted mcnure
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Way to go! 2 fts ftw!
      Crap team will do this week..playing Donk n Webster..Traore..
      ..but it's all going to kick off when the blanks n doubles start!

      1. kamdaraji
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        it is a blank!

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

    Save FT or get someone from Wolves / Burnley to prep for GW 31? Or hop onto the Leicester train and hope they score big?

    1) Save FT and hope that Tanganga & Hayden both plays
    2) Hayden -> Traore
    3) Tanganga -> Saiss
    4) Tanganga -> C Taylor
    5) Kun -> Vardy
    6) Hayden -> Perez
    7) Hayden -> Barnes

    Pope
    TAA // Gomez // Tanganga // Stephens
    Salah // Bruno // Hayden // Mooy
    Ings // Jiminez

    Bench: Button, Egan, KDB, Kun

    1. kamdaraji
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      not that confident about Leicester. Geting Wolves and Burnley players is a good idea

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

        Thanks! Looks like it's 3 or 4 then! With Arsenal out of Europe, I might keep Kun for a potential DGW 29.

  22. OPTA FPL
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    so City likely have DGW29 following is Burnley, keep Mahrez now?

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

      I am probably keeping Kun!

  23. SHOWSTOPPERRR

    1. DeathoftheParty

  26. WE GO FOR IT
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Stick with DCL or shift for Ings?
    Have to downgrade Traore/Aurier for a hit to be able to afford him!

    1. kamdaraji
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      stick

    2. sunzip14

    From Ole's comments and from Martial's injury, it looks like Greenwood may start in the derby on Sunday. A blessing in the BGW

    1. sunzip14
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      How about the same team as today? Wasn’t it their first team?

    2. I Member

      0-0 is my prediction, so the less likely one to get a YC imo 😀

    Get Pope for Henderson or save ft for the doublegw, despite not really knowing how to stretch funds next week except for Soy to Ota?

    Cant get Auba except for Vardy and a Grealish downgrade to Gundog or Ceballos or Saka.
    Would have a problem for 31 too then..i actually didnt want to use fh there
