    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Wildcarders seem to be sleeping on a certain team with FUL, shu, BHA coming up. Should be loading up imo.

    1. ElliotJHP
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Who would you get beyond the main man though?

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

        #1 or #9

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

        Waiting to see which defenders are fit.

      3. Pieterke30
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Castagne or Pereira (GW10 too early maybe?) come to mind.

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

      Anthony Taylor gives a Penalty

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

      It's funny you didn't mention the worst Defense they're about to face this GW 😆

    4. Big Ronnie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Got 2 although waiting for news on the defenders coming back

    5. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Would you get Vardy this week or next though.

      1. Pieterke30
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Im getting him this week.

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          I’ve got the free transfers available but I’m still not sure. I know our defence is in tatters but still.

  4. dbeck
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Sterling or Bruno?

    I have KDB if you feel that impacts it

    1. Nespinha
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Bruno easy

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        +3

    2. abhirup780
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Sterling.

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

    Marcus Rashford, Mason Greenwood, Alex Telles and Victor Lindelof were among those reporting to the AON Complex for training.
    But Harry Maguire (foot) and Edinson Cavani, along with Jesse Lingard and Eric Bailly were missing.

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Presumably Cavani was missing as he was travelling back from International duty

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

      Awesome
      Thanks

    2. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I would have thought Greenwood would be with his lawyers still drawing up the libel case against Rupert.

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Murdoch?

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Someone far more powerful.

      2. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah me too.

    3. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Top man. Thank you.

    4. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      No Fernandes? Hopefully being taken off at ht was just tactical

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Oh f.... he's in the car

    5. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      is Rashford grimacing as he presses the pedal?

  6. Bennyboy1907
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    current team : 2FT’s 1.1ITB

    Martinez (Forster)
    Robbo Chillwell Lamptey (Saiss, Mitchell)
    Salah Son Zaha Grealish (Bisouma)
    Kane Bamford DCL

    Son and Salah >>> KDB and Bruno

    Yay or nay

  7. Nespinha
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Fill in the two spots (only 3 play):

    Bellerin / KWP / ____ / ____ / Mitchel

    A) Cancelo + Coufal
    B) Cresswell + Lamptey

    Why did you choose XX option?

    1. jomikijiq
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      A, because Cancelo is the best DEF pick in the game right now

      but Mausaku is much better than Coufal

      1. Make ManeMane Make ManeMane
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Agree ^

      2. Nespinha
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Cancelo is not 100% nailed..

  8. VinMar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    is Fofana a safer long term pick over justin on wc?

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

      Castagne for me

      1. VinMar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        only have 5.0

  9. R.C
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Where does Fofana play, LCB?

  10. Corona is not good 4 U
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Salah -> KdB for free makes sense? Have Bruno. Thank you!

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      For free? Yes indeed.

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yes. Also JRod could be a great move

  11. FootballDog
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    could someone plz explain this:

    salah only going to missing this game week? or next one as well ?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      No one knows

    2. BigKeith
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Think it is 2 now that his second test came back positive

      1. FootballDog
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        this is wat thought as well

    3. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      We don’t know.

  12. Ronny Sandstone
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    is Telles worth bringing in?
    Need to bring in a defender this week (replacing Shaw whos defiantly out) - still have WC in tact so I can always get shot of him in the not so distant future if it goes pear shaped, on paper fixture looks good and a bit of a differential, I'd also like Cancelo but dont like his fixture this week and still undecided if I'll go heavy on city attackers instead.

    cheers.

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

      5.5 is a big outlay for a defender with so many question marks.

      1. Ronny Sandstone
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        True hmmm? I kind of like the idea that others might not go for him for that reason, is easy downgrade also I guess? already have Chillwell and the other usual template defenders, I'll sleep on it one more night!

  13. Pacer.
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Flags disappearing one by one. Not v confident but would love it if Wilson gets unflagged this week. -83% on fpl stats. He has been a hokey cokey all season for managers despite there being v little to choose between the 4 best budgets.

    1. bigwig
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I read that Wilson's injury was minor, if he trains he'll be in contention. Bruce might not risk it if though unless he trains fully. Yeah weird that he dropping considering his points tally thus far

      1. Pacer.
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Not only that, but of the budget players, I think that Newcastle are furthest from their ceiling. Not that it's THAT high, but it's further away than Villa, Leeds or Everton who are moreorless at max imo

        Goal involvements

        Wilson 80% (eighty!!!)
        DCL: 65%
        BamBam: 55%
        Watkins: 38%

        Wilson can survive the lean times as a talisman, can the others?

  14. DeadStarComing
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Does anyone else have an issue with the ticker not loading on the home page?

    1. DeadStarComing
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Ah sorry. Cleared my cache and all that and it's fixed.

  15. Pukki Party
    • 6 Years

    Thoughts on these transfers?

    Martinez
    TAA* Robbo* Ayling
    Salah* Son Ziyech Foden
    Jimenez DCL Watkins

    4.0 Soucek Taylor Lewis

    Salah, TAA, Foden to Fernandes, Sterling/KDB, Balbuena -4

  16. Captain_Shirokov
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Martinez
    Chilwell, Dias, KWP
    KDB, Bruno(c), Ziyech, Grealish(vc)
    Kane, DCL, Maupay

    1.1m in the bank to play around with, anything worth a hit?

    1. BigKeith
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      nothing for a -4 maybe get rid of maupay when you have a ft

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Nope GTG

    3. Captain_Shirokov

      Thanks both

    4. ElChapo
      • 5 Years

      easy hold this week, nice team.

  17. BigKeith
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    My possible Salah solutions (1ft 2.4mitb):

    Mendy> a) Barnes b) Jota c) Bowen/Fornals

    or

    Salah> d) Sterling e) De Bruyne f) Bruno

    What would you guys go with?

  18. Jayblue
    • 9 Years

    Used my wildcard after a lot of thought and took 9 hits
    RMT

    Martinez
    Reecejames KWP Target
    KDB ziyech zaha grealish
    Werner bamford DCL

    Sub: mccarthy jota justin lamptey

    3.1m ITB

    1. jomikijiq
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Jota -> bench fodder
      Zaha -> Bruno/Rashford/Sterling

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

        this

      2. Denver Omelette
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        what he says

      3. Pieterke30
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Id rather keep Jota and sell Bamford if needed.

        Zaha to Utd mid (Bruno or Rash) or Sterling (by selling Bamford) to attack the fixtures

    2. DAZZ
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Vardy > Werner

  19. Pieterke30
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    I suppose it’s fine to bench Soucek vs SHU (A) but it gives me a bad feeling.

    Cant bench any of the other 7 tho can I?

    Bruno Grealish Son Jota
    Werner DCL Vardy

    1. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      no you can't

      where's that all out attack chip when you need it??

      1. Pieterke30
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Right?!!

  21. abhirup780
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Mitchell vs PVA

    RH: "Tyrick was doing extremely well. The only reason he came out was he was injured and that opened the spot for PVA.

    He got his chance against Leeds and played extremely well and it's a nice position to be in.

    We'll have to see how things pan out. There's no reason for me to be labelling them 1 and 2."

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

      holding Mitchell even on a WC, just to see how it plays out.

    2. abhirup780
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      "It's not a dilemma when you've got two good players.

      Sometimes you learn things from those periods when you don't have the players, but now it's quite the opposite. Gone from a paucity to an embarrassment of riches.

      There are choices to make and players to disappoint because unfortunately they can't all play."

      1. Silecro
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I really dont see how PVA can be benched if fit, besides Zaha he is Palace's talisman player

    3. Pacer.
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      PVA is playing for Crystal Palace. A team that hasn't been defending (-12) or attacking (+12) well. He's 5.4ml. He's not 100% nailed, though you would expect him to play. He's always been an injury risk

      Can't fathom how he is anything but a nostalgia pick for a player that never really did it in the first place

  22. McSauce
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Cancelo or Dias?

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

      Dias

    2. Pieterke30
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Cancelo

    3. McSauce
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      right then first to 5 haha

    4. jomikijiq
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Cancelo will be rotated more, but would still pick him.

      I'm going with both on WC tho.

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

        yeah it's really up to how you view fpl

        if you're happy to go with the player with a better chance of attacking returns and are ok with the occasional bencing, Cancelo is the pick

        if it's security of starts you're after (which I prefer over xmas for a defender), Dias is the pick

    5. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Have both but Dias

  23. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Are people really selling the most explosive, most underpriced player in the game?

    1. djoker_nole
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Don't suppose you're talking about Kane?

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

        Son

    2. Pieterke30
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I suppose youre talking abt Kane?

      Then yes.

      1. Pieterke30
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        If youre talking abt Son, I will prob keep one more week.

        1. Brosstan
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          If he demolishes city no one will sell. I'm hoping for a single goal in a misleadingly poor performance that makes people sell him

          1. Pieterke30
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Well tbh he has looked very poor in his last 2 or 3 games.

            If he seems on fire I will indeed think twice before selling. Currently my mind seems made up - Im selling next week for KDB.

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

      Jorginho?

    4. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      He's a hot and cold player and he's very cold at the moment

  24. Captain_Shirokov
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    how many fpl players are there this year?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      No way to know.

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

        any estimate?

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      7 480 974

  25. Denver Omelette
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Have 2 FT, Salah out for?
    A. Bruno
    B. KDB
    C. Mane
    D. Ziyech(?)

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

      A,B,C,D is my preference

      1. Denver Omelette
        • 5 Years

        Cheers

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Bruno short term but you’ll want KDB next week.

      1. Pieterke30
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Indeed. Im going Bruno this week and selling Son (or Bruno!) for KDB next week.

    Is Creswell worth the 0.6 over Coufal? Money isn’t that much of an issue
