FFS International

Introducing FFS International

Fantasy Football Scout is committed to celebrating Fantasy Premier League enthusiasts from across the globe.


Fantasy Football has become a truly global passion in recent years, which has created a beautifully diverse readership on our site.

We now have a genuinely international following, as regular visitors from 234 different countries have formed a part of the circa 4.7 million visitors to the site over the last 12 months.

From Australia, Brazil and Croatia to the Western Sahara, Yemen and Zambia, it is clear there are Fantasy managers fretting ahead of each Gameweek regardless of their geographical setting.

And with that in mind, we have set up a new initiative to reflect, celebrate and better serve this international audience.

FFS International is a new branch of the Scout Network dedicated to featuring the best content creators from around the world. 

There is Fantasy advice, insight and entertainment going out all over the planet, tailored to their local communities, languages and timezones and we want to help play a part in connect creators with their audiences.

To find the existing channels check out the detailed map below. 

But remember, we really are just getting started on this initiative, so if you are interested in shining a light on the Fantasy fanatics in your region please do get in touch USING THIS FORM.

  • Let’s Talk FPL (Ireland)
  • The FPL Hangover Podcast (Ireland – Academy)
  • FPL Greece (Greece)
  • Fantasy Chat (Palestine)
  • FPL Poet (Bangladesh)
  • Dream Set Go (India)
  • FPL Live Wire powered by Dream Set Go (India)
  • FPL Take the Hit (Australia)
  • KingFut.com (Egypt)
  • Americans Talk FPL (United States of America – Academy)

The content produced by FFScout is read in over 234 countries around the world from Norway to America, Nigeria to Malaysia and Tonga to Belize. The Scout Network is already helping us to highlight fantastic content from Palestine, Australia, India, Bangladesh, Greece and Ireland, alongside the Scout Academy which contains content creators from America, Ireland as well as the UK. 

The quality of the content internationally is one of the great pulls of the FPL community and hopefully that will only increase with the development of the Arabic language section of the Fantasy Football Scout website

As announced last week, this allows Arabic speakers to read an introduction to Fantasy Football Scout, our ‘How to play FPL’ article and, every Gameweek, they will be able to read our Scout Squad article in their native tongue.  

There will be many further Arabic language articles over the coming weeks and months, including translations of the FFS International articles. 

The comments feature is now active on Arabic articles and there are plans in place to launch Arabic language community articles in the near future. 

FPL Greece

FPL Greece are a founding member of the FFS International branch of the Scout Network. Here is an introduction to their FPL content.

FPL Greece started as a group of friends with common beliefs and life goals. United by our irrational love for Fantasy Premier League, and how much it has damaged us in 10 years of playing, we decided to share our experiences with the wider Greek FPL community in 2018.

Our mission statement was clear and precise: Somehow find a way to win this game and spread the love for Matt “The true Lord” Doherty.

Long-time lurkers of the early days of Fantasy Football Scout, we were among those who patiently waited every week for Mark and Granville’s Scoutcast and spent Saturday’s chatting to other users during games in the world’s first ever global FPL community.

Years went by and our love for the game has only grown. FPL is part of our lives and so is Fantasy Football Scout, so we are delighted to be a member of the FFS International branch of the Scout Network.

Our Team

Christos and Babis have consistently played and failed to win the game since 2008.

Between us, we share seven top 10k finishes, six of which were in the top 5k.

Some of our best finishes in the group include a place in the top 200 for Christos, 1,326 for Babis while Dimitris has come 2,694.

Our Broadcasts

In 2018 we started creating YouTube podcasts in Greek, hoping to connect the Greek Fantasy community which, at the time, was in an embryonic stage.

Over the last two years, we have appeared as guests in the biggest sports radio in Greece to talk about FPL and had the chance to make videos about the Premier League with some of the most popular football journalists.

These days, we stream primarily on Twitch at least twice a week (Monday and Friday at 11pm local time).

The Community

If there’s one thing we are proud of, it is our community of Greek-speaking FPL managers. As the game becomes more and more popular in our country, the FPL Greece Discord server experiences exponential growth.

We scheduled our first meet-up for the last game of the 2019/20 season, although we had to postpone it because of COVID-19.

If things return to normal soon enough, we hope to have one of these later in 2020/21.

Our Competitions

Our mini-league is the biggest in Greece with over 2,000 teams as of Gameweek 4.

We hold ‘Manager of the Month’ competitions with custom made trophies for our patrons.

Another popular competition is the annual FPL Greece Cup.

We had over 1,800 participants last season and we, unlike the official FPL site, actually paused it during the COVID-19 outbreak, calculating all scores properly without having to rely on a virtual coin toss.

We also offer many other gifts and trophies to those who enter our competitions or win them such as original team jerseys or even tickets to football games (two tickets to watch last year’s game between Chelsea and Arsenal at Stamford Bridge).

Our ambition

We are optimistic that this year at least one member of our community will finish within the top 50 of FPL, or even WIN IT.

Oh, and we will continue searching for a good excuse to always have Matt Doherty in our teams.

    Out of 10???

    Wc team

    Martinez

    Chilwell/Coady/Lamptey

    Son/kdb/Salah/Trossard
    /Jrod

    Kane/Watkins

    (Bissouma/Mitchell/Burke)

    Cheers.

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Looks decent. 8/10. I’d have a full back over Coady and probably Sterling over KDB.

      Watkins is tricky too. Perhaps a more established Antonio or C.Wilson

      1. Sanchit
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Because sterling scored last week?

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          No. Because of his opportunity to play up front. I also said “probably” not definitely.

      8.

      Don't like Coady. It's Brewster as your 3rd sub right?

      1. camarozz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah Cam

        I can go 343 with Dcl up top and Grealish coz i can't afford Jrod going that way.

    5. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Is must be Brewster over Burke? Säiss over Coady

    6. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      No Grealish, very questionable defense

  2. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    IB boredom so... Best early captain pick here? And play Davies(WHU) or Mitchell(BRI)?

    McCarthy
    TAA, Justin, Saiss, Davies
    KDB, Salah, Rodríguez, Son
    DCL, Ings
    (Nyland, Mitchell, Bissouma, Davis)

    1. DRIZ ✅

    Salah - Son - ____ - Zaha - Bissouma
    ____ - DCL - Maupay

    A) J.Rodriguez & Kane
    or

    Hi guys. Would really appreciate the advice. OR 31k and already 100 behind 1st place. Hate 2020! Should I do the below for a -28 hit?

    Out:
    McCarthy
    TTA KWP Justin Digne
    Salah. De Bruyne Rodriguez. Barnes
    Kane. Wilson.
    In:
    McCarthy
    Zouma Chillwell Cresswell
    Son. Jorginho Rodriguez. Grealish
    Kane. Wilson. Watkins

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      gtg

    2. Bank$y
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      You’re trolling right? 28 pt hit? Defence needs sorted but otherwise a good team. WC if you really need to.

    3. skodaole2
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Great moves, i d take one more hit to drop McCarthy for Patricio if you have the cash. Perfect -32, you can then play BB chip to equalise that

      1. Ronniie
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        This!

    4. cravencottage
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Ive never seen a 28 pt hit

      1. JonSnow
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        i did a -64 two seasons ago by forgetting to hit WC whilst drunk

      2. Paulybaby123
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I did a 16 pt hit last week and moved up 1million spots. I've also done a 24 pt hit for this gw upcoming. Nothing wrong with it. Will make the points back and likely stay or move up whilst having the players in I want

  5. umerlfc
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    R.James + H.Barnes + Adams - > Chilwell + Son + Maupay (-8) ?

    How does this move look?

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Looks good i would

    2. skodaole2
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      All the moves look great, any chance you can keep the Chelsea move for next GW and do two moves now for -4 and one move after? Or not enough defenders to field?

      1. umerlfc
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I can. Have Lamptey and Mitchell as backup

        1. skodaole2
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Then i would read the Chelsea news every day until the deadline before deciding about the third transfer. Probably its good to take a -8 and rearrange things but James missed just one game and i am not sure at all he missed his spot. I d say do it but not all of them now, i expect many players unavailable until the deadline. Good luck with your choice

          1. umerlfc
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Thanks for the detailed reply. Will surely look into any hints through team news, etc.

    3. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      James to Chilwell can wait.
      He might be dropped to deal with Zaha & Eze vs Palace.

  6. DRIZ ✅
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Mesut Ozil gets one over Arsenal again

    1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      He probably only did it for fear of being given the dinosaur suit to wear himself

  7. Jimjam
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    On WC:

    (1) KDB or Sterling?

    (2) JRodriguez or Pulisic?

    (3) Wilson or Antonio?

    1. Jordan.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      K
      J
      W

    2. Dexters Laboratory
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      KDB, JRod, Antonio (Or Muapay?)

    3. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      KDB
      Hamez
      Wilson

    4. Tigers Time
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I would keep your powder dry on Man City - not sure what's happening there.
      I would have both JRod & Pulisic and it's Antonio for me - he's a beast.

    5. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      S/JR/W

    6. Sgt Frank Drebin
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      1. Hard ot say. Leaning slightly towards KDB.

      2. Rodriguez short term. Over the course of the season maybe Pulisic but depends how much rotation is Frank planning.

      3. Wilson for the next couple of few, then Antonio. But both are great options, personally planning to get both.

  8. SteJ
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    So far this year FFS does not stand for Fantasy Football Scout

  9. LewanGOALski
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    This year and FPL season are that crazy I look at my WC Team I am happy with and my only worry is that I have no Aston Villa MID / FWD 😀

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Grealish over Zaha for me. Easy

  10. Zalk
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    If this comment section banned RMT comments it would probably be much more rewarding to read.

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      The forum is not bad this time of the week. There are much fewer RMTs with so much time to go and people are actually contemplating the long term value of players.

    2. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      It's very slow right now so it doesn't matter. They should ban RMT once we get a new WC

    3. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      One page is staying for 2 hours.
      I don't mind RMT right now.

  11. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Jimenez has never blanked 3 times in a row in FPL

    Im keeping for Leeds game as the stats clearly say he's due

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I don't think that's true? I'm sure he blanked 4 last year

      • Third Eye Vision
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Your one of those posters that I see on here a lot (spouting off) and I can’t work out if you’re trolling or genuinely just a bit dim.

        1. Third Eye Vision
          • 11 Years

          *You’re

          1. Brosstan
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Can't make it too obvious 😉

          Balancing your trolling range is a real skill

      • Je suis le chat
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        He can blank off, I've binned for - 8, sick of him, one of these players who've trolled me!

    2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Sterling/ KDB to Son for a -4? Or should I wait for one more GW and not take a hit?

      1. DRIZ ✅
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Would do it for Son

        1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Sterling or KDB is the question now! Sterling looks hungry. KDB's positioning does not do him any favours.

          1. VincentVega
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            I'm just waiting for the KDB price falls then i'm in

            1. MSTRKRFTSMN
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Great news, hadn’t noticed this

      2. Goonsquad245
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Utter madness. Surely wait

    3. Gunners in Haaland
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      KDB price fall tonight?

      1. MSTRKRFTSMN
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Yep looks like

      2. Goonsquad245
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Maybe. Tons of wildcards

        1. Tinkermania
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Kdb peaked last season. He will do very well to get closer to last season's haul.

          1. Goonsquad245
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            I don’t agree. KDB overperformed last season, but if he remains on penalties, it’ll bridge the variance gap somewhat. I’d expect 230-240 minimum if he stays fit

            1. Tinkermania
              • 4 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              By saying he overperformed, you kind of agreeing with my 'peaking'. Penalties have helped him go to start at same price as Sterling.

              1. Goonsquad245
                • 7 Years
                3 years, 5 months ago

                KDB in his previous guise (no penalties) overperformed a lot. With penalties, it’s not unfathomable he repeats it or even goes higher. He’s a different proposition to last season.

                1. Tinkermania
                  • 4 Years
                  3 years, 5 months ago

                  You might be right. Am only playing Sterling. I expect a hatful of hatricks from him. There will be very little Pep roulette too as they are playing catch up.

                  1. Goonsquad245
                    • 7 Years
                    3 years, 5 months ago

                    Sterling is a good pick too!

    4. Jinswick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Best option here?

      A) Holding -> Saiss (save FT)
      B) KDB & Davis -> (6.3) Perreira & Kane
      C) VVD, KDB & Davis -> Saiss, Hames & Kane (-4)

      McCarthy
      TAA, VVD, Mitchell
      Salah, KDB, Son, Foden, Bissouma
      Jimenez, Antonio

      Steer, Bellerin, Holding, Davis
      Bank 0.9m, 2FT

      1. Giovanni Giorgio
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I'd probably do C as you don't own DCL and need some EVE cover

        1. Jinswick
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Cheers. Just spotted I have the exact amount for:

          D) KDB, Davis & Antonio -> Soucek, Kane & DCL (-4)

          Thoughts?

      3. VincentVega
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        Holding -> Chillwell

      4. Goonsquad245
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        A easily, the other two will actively lose you points.

    5. Giovanni Giorgio
      • 10 Years

      On WC.
      Konsa or Dallas/Ayling?

      1. Blues for Salah
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Even though I generally prefer fullbacks, Villa have a pretty amazing run of fixtures once you get past the first game back from IB. I'm on Konsa through week 29 when the fixtures turn to the diabolical.

        He's my number four defender on a team that plays primarily 343, but I'm feeling good about him being a useful option on any given week.

        Defence needs ripping up and start again. All will be dropped soon skate from chilwell, who is a bandwagon pick. And considering that, you’ll have to allocate more funds to defence and change your whole team

        Podence --> Bissouma
        Justin --> Castagne

        Yeah, defence needs a rethink. I don’t mind Chilwell though. He’s only 5.5 and on some corners. I always think Chelsea pose a threat from corners. Don’t know if that’s backed up by stats though.

        I agree with the Podence to 4.5 and spend the change on def.

        B for me. DCL has much better stats than Watkins and Grealish almost matches JRod for less (altough the last game was quite strange, hard to asses how good Villa really is). Besides DCL is a set and forget at this point with such high ownership, you own him just to mitigate any damage. You won't gain much from his points.

        1. My Name Is Prince
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Isn't he a left back? Most likely won't be first choice over Bertrand one would think...

          1. Vazza
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Not sure why he would have moved from Man U if his security of starts is still next to nothing

            1. My Name Is Prince
              • 11 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Not sure either but even if what you're saying is true Bertrand is one of Ralph's trusted men at Saints, no way they are taking a player on loan from another club and demoting Ryan to the bench...

          I doubt that because we let go Dalot on loan too. And as far as i know he's going to be backup to AWB

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years

        Lewis through week 15. Fullback with a very friendly schedule. Wouldn't be at all shocked to see him get a price rise over that period and give you an opportunity to move to any of a list of 4.5s when the Geordies' fixture list takes a nasty turn on Boxing Day.

        1. My Name Is Prince
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Yep, exactly who I'm leaning towards as of now... Might sneak in a few assists as well during that period

          1. Blues for Salah
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            I don't know enough about his history to know if he's a YC magnet or whether early games are just a fluke with respect to bookings, but that long run of green fixtures is hard to ignore.

      3. Sgt Frank Drebin
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I don't think there is a 4.4m defender worth attention or playing him every week. Mitchell maybe if he's not going to be benched (I have no idea on his situation)

        1. My Name Is Prince
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          -0.1m on a move I want to make so I’m downgrading 4.5m def to a 4.4m def, to play occasionally, already have Mitchell...

      Barnes back to Son?

      Villa Arsenal Leeds Wolves and Liverpool don't seem like great fixtures for Barnes

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Yes

      2. Sgt Frank Drebin
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Villa Arsenal Leeds maybe isn't that bad but Son is much better & has better fixtures.

      3. Je suis le chat
        • 10 Years

        All day, Son is the definition of a season keeper, steal at his price (I've spent - 12 transferring him in and out for 1 point!).

      4. Goonsquad245
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Do you have any other options? I’d want to keep Barnes for Villa but can see why you’d sell

    14. Pep Roulette
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Sell Barnes or Podence?

      1. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years

        Podence

      2. Blues for Salah
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I would be asking myself if those thoughts are coming from a concern over consistent minutes or a frustration with recent play.

        To me, Barnes gets consistent minutes in a productive offense and finds himself in positions where he's likely to be involved. I'd be inclined to want to stick it out with a player like that (as I am with Phil Foden even though at times it looks like he couldn't score in a brothel).

        I'm not as locked in on the idea of Podence, but the departure of Jota seems to have opened up what looks like regular minutes (he's a left-sided player and I don't see him as being all that under threat by Neto and Traore). If Podence gets regular minutes given where he's be playing in the formation, he could be one of THE bargains of the season.

        I'd kinda want to keep them both for now unless I had a FT to burn.

        Actually I think he'll end Up being best Chelsea guy to get.

        Do you think Werner can play #9 ?
        Sole striker ?

        Or will he rotate with Pulisic making both of them pathetic FPL options.

        1. Eat my goal!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          It’s going to be a mess imo

          You’ve got ziyech and puli coming back so who gets dropped

          CHO makes way, mount already dropped, Werner back to 9 with puli in?

          Getting that to gel without upsetting the dressing room isn’t going to be easy - if anything injuries have helped the easing in process

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            In all that i just don't think Werner can play as 9 on himself. He just sways away too much. Bit like United. Chances are created but a pocher, out n out #9 with instincts is not available.

            (Or we've solved that by getting Cavani 😛 )

            1. Goonsquad245
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              How do you think Cavani playing at 9 will affect Rashford?

              1. Amey
                • 5 Years
                3 years, 5 months ago

                Main problem for me is Cavani doens't fit the OGS mould.
                One touch, fast attacking football (or that's what we're trying)

                System would be changed. If anything Rashford output would increase as he's going to be main threat to run in behind the lines as Cavani won't have legs to run.

                I'm more interested in RW spot tbh. Either martial is moved to RW or we'll see rotation between Rashford Martial Cavani for LW & striker spot with GW/James/mata covering RW.

                1. Goonsquad245
                  • 7 Years
                  3 years, 5 months ago

                  Will Cavani even play when Tony is back? Feels like a really strange signing if the plan is to move Martial/Rash to RW when both are settled

                  1. Amey
                    • 5 Years
                    3 years, 5 months ago

                    He's given #7 jersey !
                    After watching that I'm also not sure about the plans.

                    Surely United would want #7 to play most games 😮

                    1. Sgt Frank Drebin
                      • 7 Years
                      3 years, 5 months ago

                      Didn't Cavani play at right side at PSG when Ibra was there? I assumed Man United is getting him to play at right wing but not sure.

                      1. Amey
                        • 5 Years
                        3 years, 5 months ago

                        He didn't like that though. I can't see him playing RW.
                        Let's see

      2. Goonsquad245
        • 7 Years

        Jorginho is a shocking pick. I would be looking to move Fernandes to Salah next week to avoid serious punishment

    17. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Is it worth considering WCing this team? Already use FT to bring in Son

      0.8itb 0ft
      McCarthy
      Robbo TAA* Taylor Justin*
      KDB Salah Son Podence*
      DCL Jimenez*
      (Peacock* Ayling Bissouma Vassilev*)

      2.1itb after these transfers:
      McCarthy to Martinez
      Peacock to Steer
      Taylor to Dallas
      Justin to Castagne
      TAA to Chilwell
      Podence to Grealish
      Jimenez to Antonio
      Vassilev to Brewster

      1. Je suis le chat
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        No imo. However, if wildcarding brings you pleasure, go for it! I've just spent - 8 to bring back Kane and Son based on this tenet.

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          I'm not sure if it'll bring me pleasure. I do like the idea of doubling up with Kane and Son but I'll need to take a - 8 downgrading TAA to a 6.2def and Jimenez to Kane

          1. Je suis le chat
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Chilwell and Kane in for the - 8 would be worth it I reckon. Kane is hungry, Spuds might even challenge when Bryson De Bale starts, can't wait!

      2. Goonsquad245
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Not for me, way, way too few high impact transfers there

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Interesting point. The two players I'm not overly keen on keeping is Podence and Jimenez. Wolves have been poor in the last two games but they still have 3 interesting fixtures coming up

          1. Goonsquad245
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            The Wolves boys are fine for the next 3, and if you’re really not happy you can shift Podence to Barkley/Trossard next week

      3. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Personally I like your team and don't think it's worth wildcarding. I'm jealous of that double pool defence.

        1. Gingerman
          • 3 Years

          Your team looks just fine

        2. Tonyawesome69
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Adrian and the high def line isn't giving me confidence to keeping both Robbo and TAA but you have those two for their attacking points. However, TAA hasn't been great and I think I could downgrade him use those funds in either Jimenez to Kane or Podence to Grealish

    18. ThisPostsOnFire
      • 7 Years

      Potential WC Team for GW8 fixture swings:

      Martinez (Button)
      Robo, Bellerin, Konsa (Lamptey, Mitchell)
      Salah, KDB, Son, Grealish (Bowen)
      DCL, Wilson, Antonio

      Rotate the two 6.5 forward positions between Wilson, Antonio, Maupay, Watkins, Wood and Bamford

      Bowen can come in for any forward with a difficult GW

    19. Teror
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Should I wildcard? I never wildcard this early and never want to wildcard before GW7/8 but kind of feel like I'm wasting my transfers atm and sorting out the dross would give me a renewed focus

        Would wait for fixture swings around GW8.
        That team looks fine fixture wise up until then.
        I'd maybe transfer Ramsdale before then, but wouldn't be in a rush with any of the rest.

        Depends on who you are looking to transfer. You are missing Son/Kane/J-Rod/DCL/Grealish.. I'd say a -8 is OK. If you can get in a few of the players you want, then maybe wait on WC. For me, I want Son/Kane/J-Rod now, and I can't get them in with a -8.
