    Best budget defender for a few weeks?

    1. marcos11

      2 weeks? The 4 mil everton Digne replacement

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

    Better pick this GW:

    a) Son vs Chelsea away
    b) Hamez vs Leeds home

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

      Has to be Son

  3. Hulk Smash
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Saiss to Kilman
    Ziyech to KDB -4

    Yay or nay?

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yes

      1. Groot the Leveller
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I also t/f our ziyexh for kdb this week. So yes from me

  4. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    -4 team, G2G?

    McCarthy
    Chilwell, Cresswell, Justin
    KDB(C), Bruno(v), Jota, Ziyech, Grealish
    Kane, DCL
    (4.0, Saiss, Mitchell, Davis)

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

      Gtg

    2. Atimis
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Just not sure that losing Son over Kane was best idea but looking good otherwise

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Very hard call. No good Kane replacements I liked

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

          surprised you didnt like look of vardy

          1. RAFA THE GAFFA
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            It isn’t enough to fund son >> KDB

  5. Big boy Bowen

    This fantasy football business is making me lose the plot

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

      I've been playing since 07/08 and for so many years it was something I did in the background for a bit of fun. Never looked at my OR or gave a thought to team value. Being able to watch every game really doesn't help!

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Yes!! I’ve watched nearly all of the games so far when I never really used to.
        Watching has helped me this season perform better but the issue is fpl is then always at the forefront of my mind!

    2. Groot the Leveller
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I've been watching more because of ff.
      I've become a Leeds fan this year even though I only have Bamford on the bench...

  6. Shark Team
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Sell Jrod to Jota today before the price fall? Or keep him for LEE(H) ?

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

      Keep

    2. Il Capitano
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Keep

    3. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I sold to enable Son > KDB(C)

    4. BremerHB
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Keep

    5. Groot the Leveller
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I've sold him for jota. One blank too many after his last game

      1. Groot the Leveller
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        He has great fixtures but seems to be enabling Digne/richarlinson to cross for DCL, rather than assisting or scoring himself

  7. dshv
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Sterling for captain band differential??

    Si or no

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

      Yes

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

      yeah if you have him you have to captain imo

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

    Worth keeping Son?

    Also, would you do Hamez to Sterling?

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

      yes keep son, keep Hamez

  9. Dele
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Is Salah, Bruno, KDB, Son, Jota the best midfield 5 right now?

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

      on paper probably yes but I think JRod could be a big shout this week

      1. Groot the Leveller
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        He did nothing last week....

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

      On WC:

      A) Masuaku Bissouma Watkins
      B) 3.9 defender Jota Brewster

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

        Lol dunno how i managed to put that here

  10. fn.jota
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Zouma or reguillon for cancelo? I have chillwell

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

      reg but i reckon better picks over both. who are your other defenders

      1. fn.jota
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Wich ones? Have dallas and mitchell

  11. OBAMA
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    best Zaha replacement

    A) Jota (i already own mane)
    B) Torres (city cover)
    C) Rodriguez (thinking could be a interesting punt since on set pieces now Digne out)
    D) Other ... who?

    1. School of Poch
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      What's the news on Zaha? I'm currently just benching as 0FT. Will he be back next week?

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

        yeah but he's been meh anyway so happy to get rid

        1. School of Poch
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Fair point. I'm just not sure it's worth the hit right now, he'll be in my team no later than GW13 though for sure!

        2. School of Poch
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          To actually answer your question A but I'd be worried if he keeps getting the same minutes with Salah back, C could also be good. Think B is too rotation prone. Do you have Grealish?

    2. fn.jota
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      A for me with rotation concerne

  12. Don Kloppeone
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Bottomed

    Which one to fund Son > KDB (C)? Would be for -4 unfortunately

    A) Ziyech > Jota
    B) Kane > Vardy
    C) Cresswell > Coufal

    Whilst B is by far the most popular move on here, I’m very wary of writing off both Kane and Son just because their fixtures stiffen up - feel like keeping 1 until their form stops makes sense. I don’t have Salah/ Mané so the Jota option is pretty tempting until I get Salah in GW12. Option C is purely a funding move only.

    1FT 2.3itb
    Martinez
    Robbo, Chilwell, Cresswell
    Bruno, Son, Ziyech, Grealish
    Kane, DCL, Bamford
    (Forster) (KWP, Stephens, Branthwaite)

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I did A with Jrod as I couldn’t afford B. B for you I think but it’s very very hard

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I’m only 0.1 short of straight Son > KDB for free. Very frustrating!

        Can’t help thinking that with the number of people bringing in Vardy for Kane that it will be disastrous but maybe I’m overthinking!

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          I do like Kane also. Hard decisions

    2. Groot the Leveller
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Use robbo to fund ziyech to kdb?
      Son is a season keeper for me.

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        You’d keep both Kane and Son for this run? Robbo has been immense though... hmmm

        V tough!

  13. The Train Driver
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Maguire sounds like a great pick reading this article.

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

      Till I watch him play...

  14. FPL Blow-In
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    In order to afford Werner to Vardy I would have to downgrade Chillwell or Cresswell. Either of those out for a -4 worth it?

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

      I wouldnt want to drop either of those 3. Specially not for a hit.

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

      no

  15. Davidwes
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Play watkins or soucek?

    1. Kay317
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Watkins

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

      Been mulling over this all week long! Had soucek in, but decided to bench now for Watkins who's got pens and higher ceiling. It's tough if you also got grealish & west H defender (like me!). Hoping loss of Barkley don't hurt em

  16. Shark Team
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Bench Coufal or Kilman?
    keeping in mind that Barkley is out for Villa but Arsenal can't score

    1. Kay317
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Coufal has more attacking threat so I'd play him.

  17. ABCDEFC
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    McCarthy
    KWP - Zouma - Justin
    Bruno - Son - Mane - Podence
    Werner - Kane - Watkins
    (Nyland - Bissouma - Saiss - Davis) (0.2 ITB and 1FT)

    A) Saiss to Konsa
    B) Kane to Vardy
    C) Kane, Saiss and Podence to Vardy, Konsa and Jota (-8)
    D) Suggestions?

  18. Kay317
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    A) Reguilon, Son, Kane to Coufal, Vardy and Salah.

    B) Kane and Riedewald to Salah and Brewster.

    Or KDB instead of Salah in either.

    Feels wrong to ditch son and Kane but concerned about vardy, Salah and KDB running riot. Any advice appreciated.

  19. Dele
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Can a -12 hit ever pay off?

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

      not this week

    2. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Not normally, low scoring week & you will be out of all competitions

    3. Oggle22
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      No cost me a cash manager of the month and in turn the knock on affect cost me the league win last season gutting thing was I held out till 1 min before deadline and panicked changed my mind and did it! Still hurts.... Can you tell haha

  20. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Son+Kane+Brewster to KDB+Vardy+Bamford for -8?

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

      no way

  21. Ci Siamo
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Does Brewster start against West Brom? The fixtures doesn't get much better for hkm so wondering if to just play him

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

      Big question mark. But even if he starts, I dont have much hope.
      (he s in my starting 11 this gw)

  22. Oggle22
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Will the players playing in Europe this week be covid tested again before the weekend matches?

    Cheers

    1. Kay317
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I'd say so. Think they're getting tested very regularly especially when they're travelling.

      1. Oggle22
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Ok but we probably won't hear anything before deadline tomorrow I would imagine?

        1. Kay317
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Doubt it

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

    is anyone taking a hit to get in either KDB or Vardy (or both). If you are please explain why

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

      assuming you're taking out kane or son to allow this

    2. Kay317
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Thinking about it. But more likely Salah and vardy in. Can see them retuning more over the next few weeks and can get kane and or son back when their fixtures turn. But equally can't quite bring myself to pull the trigger - kane and son are both on great form. Are they fixture proof?

    3. Groot the Leveller
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I thought long and hard, decided not to do a -4 for kdb. I've done too many hits this year, so was now chilled.
      I was happy and sorted. Zen like

      Then I listened to the scoutcast, and did ziyech -> kdb for a -4 immediately afterwards.

      martinez
      Chillwell, cancello, Cresswell
      kdb, son, grealish, jota, Fernández
      dcl, kane
      (Bamford, Kilman, 3.9)

  24. BremerHB
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Think I’m going to roll the FT this week. Thoughts?

    Martinez
    KWP - Coufal - Chilwell
    Bruno - Son - Grealish - Ziyech
    Kane - Vardy - DCL

    (Steer - Mitchell - Stephens - Lamptey)

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

      seems good just lack of city

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

        I don’t know why but I’m not too concerned. If they look to pick up form against Burnley I’ll use the 2 FTs to bring in cover.

        Son & Kane have been in much better form recently than any City attackers.

        1. Groot the Leveller
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          I too was happy with no city.
          Stay strong and believe in your decision.

          I crumbled yesterday, kept son but sacrificed ziyech.

          I think I may regret it as I really like him, but I like son more

  25. ASOUSA12
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Guys, any help appreciated...what would you do with this team?

    1 FT
    £3.9M ITB

    McCarthy
    Ayling Robbo Chilwell
    Zaha* Son Fernandes Grealish
    DCL Adams Werner

    Steer Kilman Mitchell* Bissouma

    Current thinking is...

    A) Mitchell + Son -> KDB (C) + Dias / Cancelo (-4) (bench Zaha and wait that he's available next GW against WBA (A) as still not sure about Jota

    Play 4-3-3

    B) Zaha -> Jota (with Fernandes (C) still not sure about this option as want to jump asap in City assets and i'm not sure how nailed is Jota)

    Play 3-4-3

    C) Zaha + Werner -> KDB (C) + Antonio / Bamford (-4) (would leave me with no City defender but potentially would give me enough in the bank to go from Ayling to TAA as soon as he's available)

    Play 3-4-3

    Cheers

  26. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Play one

    Targett ( have Bowen, and Martinez)
    Mitchell

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

      Targett. Mitchell looks to have lost his spot for the moment.

  27. Budgies
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Offloading Zaha to a Man City Mid, only £7.9m available in doing so.

    A) Torres
    B) Foden

    Anyone think Torres will come good?

    1. Deeney-is-a-god
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Would rather torres than foden

  28. Deeney-is-a-god
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Torres or jota? Have salah but do not have kdb

  29. Il Capitano
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Need to settle on a move here

    1 FT, 0.9m ITB, WC Available

    McCarthy (Button)
    Zouma Chillwell Justin (Taylor Mitchell)
    Bruno Sterling Son Grealish (Bissouma)
    Werner DCL Watkins

    A) Zouma > Cancelo/Dias (captain Sterling/Bruno)
    B) Werner > Vardy (C)
    C) Both (-4)

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

      A captain Raz

  30. g40steve

    All these -8 & -12 are good news 🙂
