      Same. I don't like the uncertainty of not knowing the fixtures.

      I've just transferred in Rafinha myself. I'd do maybe Maddy/Gundo(depends what price you bought him) to Rafinha if I were you.

    Cavani Antonio Gundagon killing me

    My take is Gundagon will come on late for KDB
    Antonio most likely to start buy harder fixture than cavani but having cavani on the bench v Newcastle seems suicidal

    Thoughts??

    The more I think about it the more I don’t want to use my WC

    1. FPL Alaska

      Save, nice team

    2. djman102
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Looks good. I'd save.

    3. GoonerSteve

      Similar boat here.

      McCarthy, Pope
      Cancelo, Stones, Dallas, Coufal, Mitchell
      Gundogan, Grealish, Son, Salah, Bruno
      Bamford, Antonio, DCL.

      1ft.

      Tempted to drop Grealish for Rafinha.
      Also tempted by Antonio to Ings.

      May well do nothing though.

    Is Veltman nailed? Literally cant spare the 0.1m extra for Ben White

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Only while Lamptey is out

    2. Rhodes your boat
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Heard burn might be due to March injury

  7. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    DCL to Ings for -4?

    1. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes. Effectively only a -2 with him playing twice

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

        It's -4

        1. nico05
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          I meant because Ings is playing twice so extra appearance points on top of goal/assist potential

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

            No one can guarantee that he will play twice. It's just higher chance to get more point.

            1. nico05
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              Id be very surprised if he didn't play both games but like you say no guarantee any player will play

    2. yakirh
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      No way, DCL has great DGW in 26, sell someone else

    3. FPL Alaska
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      No for me. DCL better long term. Chelsea is a likely 2 pointer.

  8. Cilly Bonnolly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Who would you bench out of Gundogan, Antonio or Watkins?

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

    Will predicted line ups page be updated before deadline?

    1. Geoff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      It will be, yeah

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

        Thanks Geoff! Got a head ache for my city players... Cancelo and Gundo

        1. Geoff
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah I'm kind of thinking Gundogan plays, Cancelo I'm less sure on. But obviously it's really hard to know

  10. Bookmark
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Bench two
    Mee
    Gundo
    Son
    Cresswell
    Stones (have Cancelo)

  11. Plagued by indecision
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    If Grealish is cooked I could get Raphinha in for him, and then add Ings for Antonio -4

    OR do TAA > Dallas and Grealish > Raphinha and leave myself with enough change to do Antonio > Kane or Vardy for GW26.

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

      Eww you still got TAA

      1. Plagued by indecision
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        thank you. very helpful.

  12. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    DCL owners switching to Ings?

    1. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I did and captained him

  13. The Red Devil
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    on WC,
    Ings + KdB
    or
    Vardy + Son

    1. M2.0
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Ings + Son

  14. Kane Train
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    If DGW26 is announced before lockout am I good to go?

    Martinez
    Dias / Shaw / Konsa
    Salah / Bruno / Barnes / Gundo / Raph
    Kane / DCL

    Bench: Ederson, Watkins, Soyuncu & Striujk

  15. KAALI_DAAL
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Grealish to Raph for free?

    1. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I wouldn't

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

        What if there is truth to his injury?

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

      Yep!

    3. Plagued by indecision
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I'm wondering this with the rumours. Had considered Saka > Raph, but getting rid of Grealish would leave more money in the bank!

    4. OverTinker
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      nothing is free - you will pay the price

  16. FPL Alaska
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    3 years, 1 month ago

    2 FT, 3.0 ITB. No FH, WC week 30. Have been on the fence re: Soucek > Raphinha or Antonio > Watkins. With Grealish possibly out, good to do Soucek > Raphinha? Would play Raphinha over Cancelo this week.

    Martinez
    Mee - Stones - Cancelo - Dallas
    Salah - Bruno - Son - Gundo
    Kane - Bamford

    (Areola; Soucek, Antonio, Coufal)

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

      how comes wildcard week 30 and not now?

      1. FPL Alaska
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I like my squad overall, and I think I can manage the double GWs in 26/27 with transfers, plus have a good start on blank 29. Would you do differently with this squad? Who would you change with a WC?

      2. FPL Alaska
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Also, we don't know when doubles will be for sure and who will have fixtures in 29, so seems risky to me to WC right now unless team really needs it.

  17. Nemanja Vidic
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Martinez of Forster?

    1. FPL Alaska
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Martinez for sure. Double GWs and likely fixture in 29

  18. Chief Break-Everything
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    A) Twitter Rumour
    B) Pep

    Sorry, got bottomed,
    Any help would be appreciated

  21. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Best from these??

    1. Shaw for 25 and 26
    2. Dallas for 25 and Tarko for 26

  22. LABILLETHEGOAT
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Which one for a FH?
    A. Gundo > Raphina
    B. Grealish > Raphina

    1. ViperStripes
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B

    2. Bushwhacker

  23. Sun Jihai

    Grealish has created 30% of Villa's total chances created this season

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

      The Villa turnaround is almost the story of the season so far.

  24. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Sort the tweets out, should of screen shot them not allow to load making pages jump, annoying 🙁

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

    I think Grealish rumours are true, anyone claiming to know how long he's out for is total rubbish however

  26. ViperStripes
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Woudl you use TC chip this week on Raphinha or Bamford?

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

      I’m tempted by Bamford

    2. moment
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Personally no.

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

      No

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

        I wouldn't

  27. wulfrunian
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Less than two hours for the deadline and Team news still not updated.

  28. bitm2007

    What was Mourinho's comment that makes Ben Crellin think that Fulham is more like that Southampton in DGW26 ?

  29. FPL ElasticO
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Who should you start this GW?

    A. Gundo
    B. Mee (also got Pope)

  30. Silecro
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Bottomed

    Grealish > Raphinha
    Antonio > Ings
    For free
    Yes or no?

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

      Good predicting.

      Yes.
