    Tammy on the scoreboard.

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Twice

    Who would you bench out of:

    A) Coufal (cry)
    B) Dallas (new)
    C) Wilson (LEE)

    1. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I have A and B an am struggling also. Been on Coufal but just switched to Dallas, Newcastle look so poor and create nothing. Bad at the back too so Dallas could get joy there.

    Bruno EO this GW? 140%

    1. jomikijiq
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      higher

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

        Higher or lower than 160%

        1. jomikijiq
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Think higher. KDB's injury made it really straightforward

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

            Yup - plus the fact Spurs and Liverpool options face one another

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

      Ye - I reckon 130-140

      A decent % will go sterling / gundo I guess

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

        I could live with 130-140 and feel Ok capping someone else 150-160 and I would have to go Bruno (c)

        1. Sanchit
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Who are you looking at?

    3. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Higher if he's rested today.

      1. TheDragon
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        How’s the last few weeks gone?

        1. The Ejiptian King
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Happy with last couple, went chipless but all my blank planning was destroyed with Villa covid and DCL injury, took a -8 in 18 and only dropped 1m to 1.2, 109 last week and up to 800k, I brought in Vardy over Antonio though which is even more annoying after the injury, what about you mate?

          1. TheDragon
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            I’ve had a decent few weeks. Into the top 50k now.

            I used FH in 18 which went well but used TC on KDB in 19 which was a bit of a fail

            But very happy with where I am at this stage. Hard to believe really given how disasterous the first 5 gameweeks were

            1. The Ejiptian King
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              That's huge, congrats. I played Saka in 19 and couldn't believe he outscored KDB, Salah and Bruno, lol.

  4. ajk1211
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    If you have Kane, is KDB->Son too much given Spuds fixtures?

    1. CheesyZoot
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I'd want Son and Kane for 21

    2. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      KDB to Son is my transfer this GW. I'm crap at FPL though so you might want to do something different.

    3. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Nah, there's not many premiums left really

  5. Sterling Malory
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    On WC would you rather,

    A) Have stronger bench (for potential DGW/Covid postponements/injuries)

    B) Higher value starters ie, Sterling (to allow for KDB/Salah when fit/in form)

    1. Pep Roulette
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A

    2. HollywoodXI
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A

    4. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A decent bench can be something like Coufal - Shaw - Brewster/Bissouma.

      That's plenty imo - and it's not like you have dross coming on if there's a covid postponement either (well apart from Brewster if you go that deep)

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

    Fpl cup opponent is in the FFS Member's League

    Distopionze show yourself!

    1. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I've got a decent opponent this week - just come off the back of a 132point BB gameweek.
      And, luck would have it that his spread funds shouldn't hurt him too much now that KDB is out of action and money is not tight anymore

  7. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Thoughts on this WC team?

    Martinez Areola
    Chilwell Cancelo Justin Coufal Mitchell
    Sterling(C) Bruno Son Gundogan ESR
    Kane Bamford Antonio

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Got 10 of them in my current team and will be 12 in the next 2 GWs, so it's great team!

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Haha cheers mate

  8. shearer9
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Is Ziyech unlikely to start midweek given he's started today? Might bench for Smith Rowe or Ayling

  9. Bennyboy1907
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Adams >>> Kane -4 and play 1 from below.
    Or do it next week and play 2 from below.
    A) Play Coufal
    B) Play Raphinia (have bamford)
    C) Play Dallas
    D) Play Chillwell
    E) Play Adams

  10. OverTinker
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    DDG Johnstone
    Chilwell, Cancelo, Stones, AWB, Coufal
    Salah, Bruno, (son/Gundo), Soucek, ESR
    Bamford, Antonio, Wilson

    Which players should I bench this GW?

    Coufal, soucek and ESR??

  11. HollywoodXI
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I fancy Spurs to beat Liverpool 2-0. Mourinho tactical masterclass and Klopp losing it during / after the game.

    1. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Maureen will be looking to get under Klopp's skin for sure. Should be intriguing.

    2. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Not sure. If Liverpool bounce back today they could be a totally different proposition..

    3. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I can very much see a Spurs win too. It's going to be an eye-sore of a game if Maureen gets his way with a 1-0 Kane penalty

  12. Munchen KFC
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Not that I use it much but feel it's a bit tardy of FFS not to update the RMT regarding Vardy.

  13. Third Eye Vision
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I’ve done Vardy & KDB to Antonio & Gundo. I’ve got 10.1 in the bank.

    In my 12 seasons of playing, I’ve never been sat on that much cash. Not even sure that I want a so called premium back in (got Bruno, Son, Kane).

    I’ll probably spread it around mid & def and keep 5 mil to get KDB or Salah back if needed.

  14. waltzingmatildas
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Think I've decided on kdb to gundo this week.
    Would you do raphina to son for a - 4?

    1. aleksaa2
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Nah

    2. Sanchit
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Not for a hit

  15. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Tammy power

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Finally scored a good header!

  16. Eze Really?
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Not my style to post an RMT but all the hullaballoo, coming out of FH/WC/BB terretory, I thought someone might help. A strong bench with 7.5mil ITB after the KDB Gundogan switch, here I am:
    Meslier/Leno (Time to change to Pope/Fab maybe)
    Cancello Diaz Shaw Justin Coufal (Benching headache)
    Slah Maddison Gundogan Bruno Soucek
    Bamford Antonio Watkins

    Thinking of Kane and Son for Soucek and Watkins.
    I do like grealish eventually though!

    1. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I reckon Soucek and Watkins could easily point score

    2. Third Eye Vision
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Not sure a goalkeeper switch is worth 2 FT.

      Defence - start 2 City & whoever has the best fixture out of the 3. No headache & great cover.

      Front 7 picks itself with Soucek on the bench.

      Watkins to Kane for now, reassess next week. Maybe keep Soucek as your 8th attacker and upgrade one of the others in the coming weeks if you need Son.

      1. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Great advice bud cheers. Was only looking to change 1 keeper

  17. Babit1967
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Will Sanchez keep his place in goal for Brighton?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah

    2. Hawk
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Of course. Ryan's gone.

      1. St Pauli Walnuts
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Weird one that, Potter said Ryan has gone because he is Australia national keep and need to play more football. So goes to Arsenal to sit on bench, no way he displaces Leno.

        1. The Ejiptian King
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          He's not gonna say he's gone because he's rubbish and is being sold in the summer, Brighton will probably buy a new keeper then

          1. St Pauli Walnuts
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Well no, but at least tell a more convincing porky

  18. BrockLanders
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Transferred Vardy & C.Taylor for Richarlson & Dias for -4 and lumped the armband on Rich.

    Feels good.

  19. aleksaa2
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Kepa another masterclass

  20. Ze_Austin
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Kepaaaaa

  21. Sz21
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Anything worth a hit here?

    Thinking Dallas -> Cancelo (or else Soucek -> Grealish).
    Considering Kane in next week but cant if choosing Soucek-> Grealish.

    McCarthy.
    Robbo, Stones, Coufal.
    Salah, Son, Gundogan, Fernandes, Soucek.
    Antonio, Bamford.
    Forster, Dallas, Brewster, Ferguson.
    0ft, 7.1m ITB.
    WC, BB left- Prob 25 and 26 for those chips.

    1. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Looks good to go.

  22. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Kepa...

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

    Kepa 70million not even league one standard

    1. Treadstone
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      The average Sunday league goalie would have saved that one.

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

      Not bad got a 6 year contract worth 54,600,000 in wages!

  24. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Kepa!

  25. Ady87
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    ‘Kepa has to do better’ - understatement of the century. What a horror show.

  26. aleksaa2
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    This referee is the best Luton's defender today

  27. Neevesy
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I played one season in goal for Bulkington under 16's, and I would have backed myself to save that.

    Yes, we were an underrated team back then.

  28. WATERMELONS

    Dear Trusted and Wise comrades

    Two questions.

    QUESTION 1
    Who scores more this coming GW:
    a) Kane
    b) Gundo
    c) Maddison

    QUESTION 2
    Considering effective ownership, and the cover I have from the following teams (Spurs: Son; Man C: Ederson & Cancelo; Leicester: None), which if the above players would you be most worried about not owning?

    Thanks

  29. Bartowski
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I see Calvert Lewins flags been removed. Is there a link to Ancelotti saying something. he expected to start against Leicester? Ta

    1. Shark Team
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      He is back in training. We will see if he is 100% ready today

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Posted here that he trained with first team, seems he'll start

  30. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Defender max. 4.7 for mid/long-term and DGW prospects, what's your suggestions?

    1. aleksaa2
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Targett

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Good shout, double up with Martinez?

        1. aleksaa2
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Not for me, I'd rather have Grealish, Watkins and Targett/Martinez. Could be a good shout, great schedule from gw20 to 30.

          1. Magic Zico
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years

            Sure thx
