    Bamford (TC) locked 😎 nothing to lose at my rank.. go bam bam...

    1. Flair
      • 3 Years

      Would have done the same if not for the Phillips injury

    2. FPL Pillars

      GL, armband on him o/

      With Phillips out, Leeds tend to concede more and score less. I think the captaincy is enough

      Whats your rank chuckster? Last year you did good, no?

      1. Chucky
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        it's so bad that I haven't even bothered to look at it lol 😛 missed last gw's deadline to make it worse and now it's time to go big...

        1. Woy_is_back
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Last few years I only missed one or two deadlines before that I "missed" 10 per season lol. Bamford is a good choice for tc though

    I have wildcard and bench boost left... When to use? I have no idea

    1. JoeSoap
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Could take hits next week and bench boost if there are doubles and save WC.

    Is Ben White at 4.4m good value? Seems nailed

    1. faux_C
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I have him!

    2. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yeh. Not sure whether to pay more for Dunk's chance of goals though.

    3. mwa1t
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Played more minutes than any other Brighton def this season. Definitely nailed.

    4. Pegboy
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Totally nailed, but not got the goal threat of Dunk.

    5. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    Pope
    Cancelo Dallas Robertson
    Salah Bruno Grealish Raphinha
    Ings Bamford (c) Watkins

    Martinez Gundogan Tarkowski Coufal

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      If Gundogan starts and huals you're done for

      1. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Would you start over Grealish? Was concerned about Gundogan cameo gorc1 point

    2. BooYaKasha
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Start Guido and bench Ollie

  5. Weeb Kakashi
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Antonio> Ings(-4)??
    Antonio on the bench atm. But Grealish in starting XI.

    1. JoeSoap
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Tempted, see below.

    2. G Banger
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Same for me, cant pick!!!

  6. JoeSoap
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Probably doing A. Any of the others worth hits?

    A. Mendy>Raphinha
    B. Antonio>Ings
    C. Mitchell>Dallas/Dunk

    Pope
    Cancelo, Dias, Mee
    Fernandes, Grealish, Salah, Gundogan
    DCL, Antonio, Bamford
    Steer, Coufal, Mitchell, Mendy

  7. FDMS All Starz

    3 years, 1 month ago

    Wanna just do 1FT for this week so what would you do here? (0.3itb)

    McCarthy
    Alioski - Lowton - Mee
    Sterling - Gundogan - Salah - Son - Bruno
    Adams - Bamford

    (Johnstone - Watkins - Stones - Coufal)

  8. vincentwsho
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Start Cresswell or Dias?

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Cresswell for me.

  9. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Is West Ham's fixture-swing cause to sell Antonio for #DGW25?

    #FFScout career Hall of Fame no. 1⃣ Fábio Borges has listed his potential replacements

    #FPL #FantasyPL #whufc

    I saw fixtures in the twit and panicked

  10. Don Kloppeone
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    .I've chosen:
    * Pope over Martinez
    * Raphinha cap over Bamford
    * DCL first on bench before Stones

    Am I certifiably crazy or correct?

    1. Steve McCroskey
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      It's so crazy it just might work

    2. Im New Here
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I like Raphinha cap and am tempted to do the same

  11. Catastrophe
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    With all the uncertainty and shenanigans, what's best?

    A) Ings & Konsa (Son on bench). Ings & Raphinha -> Watkins & Barnes (-4) in GW26
    B) Son & Targett (Watkins on bench). Raphinha -> Barnes in GW26

    Cheers!

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

      B looks best

  12. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Ings fit?

  13. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Where are the fixtures?

  14. Baines on Toast...
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    The best strength of Fabio Borges is he's not on here or Twitter an hour before the DL.

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, he knew Grealish was injured yesterday.

  15. Nay08

    3 years, 1 month ago

    bottomed

    So with what Mou said, should I hold on one more week to transfer Kane in?
    the initial plan was DCL+Pereira to Kane+Raphinha

    if only do raphinha, I would bench DCL still.
    and if I do both, I would bench Watkins.

  16. Arcaddde

    3 years, 1 month ago

    Start / sit GK thoughts please:

    Martinez (Leic) or Mendy (Sou)

    Chelsea more likely to keep a clean sheet but Martinez has been lights out of late....

    why does the page scroll me up towards the article, I don't want to read the article 🙄

    1. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Was just wondering this

    2. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Same. Pain

  18. Corona is not good 4 U
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Make Soucek -> Ward-Prowse sense?

    West Ham fixtures will get nasty and Southampton will have a few double gameweeks?

    Thanks!

  19. Bubz
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Will be funny if they release the fixtures at 6pm

    1. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      6:30pm*

    2. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      That's my hope

      Nothing in this as WC already used but chaos is fun

  20. aborg
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    On WC. Bring in Kane for Watkins and play him this GW or play Watkins this GW and use FT to bring in Kane for Bamford next week?

  21. mwa1t
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Several accounts reporting Grealish injury now. Still sceptical, but does seem odd he wasn't in training pictures

  22. Buck The Trent
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Would you play Antonio ahead of Gundo?

    1. Ha.
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      no

  23. Pedram
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Is it wise to have Kane as your first bench sub?

    1. Ha.
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      no

    2. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      It’s wise to play him

  24. Make United Great Again
    • 11 Years

    -4 atm. Good to go?

    Mendy
    Cancelo - Stones - Dallas
    Bruno - Raphinha - Gundo - Grealish Salah
    Bamford - Kane

    Forster. DCL - Mitchell - Coufal

    1. wantsharptv
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Got a feeling gundo will come on as a late sub..

      1. The Prophet
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I’m the same I’ve put DCL ahead of him.

  26. wantsharptv
    • 11 Years

    Desperation time

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Gundogan Cancelo

  27. Wılly
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Sterling or Gundagon to Raphinha

    Money from Sterling can be used to bring in Kane
