  5. Mozumbus

    2 years, 6 months ago

    Here's the team
    Sanchez
    TAA, Coufal, Dier
    Salah, Fernandes (C), Greenwood, Mbeumo
    Toney, Antonio, Ings

    Foster, Veltman, Tsimikas, Allan

    1FT, 1.9 ITB
    Fancy 2FT to sort out next GW

    Current OR 29,559. Should I expect
    A. Green arrow after this GW, or
    B. Red

    Any suggestions, please?

  6. Gazzpfc
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Any good? Sanchez
    Shaw - TAA - Tierney
    Salah - Jota - Torres - Gray
    Ronaldo (C) - DCL - Antonio

    1. Tierney and Gray or
    2. Marcel and Traore

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Gtg, bench must be cheap though?

      1. Gazzpfc
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah Duffy Allan Livramento

        Can't decide between 1 Tierney and Gray or 2 Marcel and traore

    2. Zanainem
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      almost same squad..
      I have:
      Dias for Shaw
      Torres and Gray for Jota and Traore
      DCL for Jimenez

  8. GoonerGirl
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Do I need to Wildcard this team or -8 Ronaldo for Ings, Torres for Son and Fernandes for Jota?

    Sanchez (Steele)
    TAA Shaw Ayling White (Livramento)
    Salah Fernandes Benrahma Son (BrownHill)

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      It’s fine, what’s the issue ? I’d just get a 4.5 striker I think and get Raph for gray

      1. tbos83
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Worried about next week though as Antonio has Man U so I want a decent 3rd striker option. Was thinking of doing Benny > Raph next week

        1. fclackless [Brazil Nuts]
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Wolves coudda scored five against that utd 'defence'

        2. Gunneryank
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          West Ham are perfectly capable of scoring against United in the form they are in, attacking wise. Don't sweat it.

  10. Babit1967
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Everyone confident Ronaldo takes penalties? Just can’t see Bruno giving them up easily as he is good at them

    1. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Fairly confident

    2. el polako
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      If he's on the pitch.

    3. Meinhoff
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Ronaldo takes pens for Portugal, why wouldn't he take them for Utd

    4. Pacer.
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Bruno has zero say. Ronaldo's move to united would be predicated on many things and one will be that he has pens.

    5. Babit1967
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Got a feeling they may share, be interesting to see

  11. Philosopher's Stones
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Captain one:

    A: Salah
    B: Ronaldo
    C: Bruno
    D: Antonio
    E: Jota

    1. Mozumbus
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      C

    2. Fish up a tree
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      B or D

  12. TheBiffas
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Son + Mahrez + Ings -> Torres + Jota + Ronaldo (-8) ?

    1. Mozumbus
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      No

    2. notlob legin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      every one in isolation makes sense - it's a yes from me

      1. TheBiffas
        • 3 Years

        cheers

  13. 3 A
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Gdluck everyone

    Especially to those who have very similar team with me...

  14. Hairy Potter
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Coming down to

    A) Sanchez and Raphinha

    Or

    B) Sa and Fornals

    1. Zogzeg
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A - West Ham midfield rotation to kick-in.

  15. Buck The Trent
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    -8 taken. Right starting XI and bench ?

    Sanchez
    TAA Shaw Dier (Marcal Livamento)
    Salah Jota Greenwood Benrahma Raphinha
    CR7 Antonio (Scarlett)

    1. Gunneryank
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Love it. My plan and formation too. Rise up 3-5-2's!

  16. FPLMACKEM
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Sanchez
    TAA, Shaw, Coufal
    Salah, Bruno, Benrahma, Barnes
    Toney, Antonio, Ings

    Steele, Amartey, Tsimikas, Gilmour

    2ft 1.2itb

    A Bruno and Ings > Ronaldo (c) and Greenwood
    B Bruno, Tsimikas and Ings > Ronaldo (c) Jota and white -4

  17. Aaa
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Mbeumo-> Torres/Mount (-4)?

    1. Mozumbus
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      No

  18. Jonesfromthere
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    How long is Firmino out for guys? Tempted by Jota for a hit.

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Seen people saying Firmino is expected back for Palace but likely only on the bench, although I didn't see a source

      1. Jonesfromthere
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks mate, probably won’t risk it.

  19. JUNITED
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Jota or Greenwood?

    I need to pick one of these for my 2 to 3 GWS short term option. Can you please help? Thanks.

    1. Justin Credibles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Jota

    2. T88MYE
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Jota - while frimino is out. Then Jota to Mount GW7

  20. Drexl Spivey
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    I think Ings & Tsimikas to Jiménez & Dier must be the most boring two transfers I've ever made in my life.

    Salah (c) to spice things up.

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Jimmy (c)

      1. Drexl Spivey
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Oopf! Tempting - very tempting. Too exciting for me though.

    2. Zogzeg
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Wolves DEF instead of Dire?

      1. Drexl Spivey
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Spreading it out. It was either switch Bruno & Ings to Traore & Ronaldo and play Veltman or plug three spots. Jimi definitely has pens at least.

  21. Lingard’s Shin Guards
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Choosing Jota or Greenwood is the biggest headache on this wc

    1. You've got red on you.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Jota because we don't know how Ronaldo will effect Greeny but Jota we know is excellent

      1. Zogzeg
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        This

      2. JUNITED
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Greenwood is United right sided corner taker though. That alone can make him getting an assist point.

    2. Gunneryank
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      You could just get both...

  22. StevenW
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    1) which forward scores the most points over next 3 GW’s?

    2) any worth a -4 + Ings?

  23. Blue Moon Rising
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Wilson to Richarlison?

    1. Boywiththesoupdragontattoo
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I’d say to Jimenez

  24. FPL Brains
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Gilmour or Sissoko (or other?)

    I just feel like Gilmour is kinda dead.

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I think both are great options, and they rotate well.

    2. Zogzeg
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Allan

  25. unclesbasement
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Who to bench?
    A)Coufal
    B) White
    C)Regulion
    D)Raphinha

    1. Sid07
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      White

    2. Boywiththesoupdragontattoo
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      White

  26. Sam (Team Sam)
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    How's this for a rogue idea....

    Salah and Ings out for Jota and Ronaldo.

    Keep Bruno for the Newcastle game.

    Then if I regret Salah out, I can just bring him back next week

    1. Life_Ban
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Hmm you will regret excluding Salad and only having a double meat feast sandwich of Bruno and Ronaldo

  27. Shark Team
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Watford at home is a very strong side, i dont think Wolves players will do that well

  28. You've got red on you.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Last minute WC change.

    Just did Torres and Gray ----> Raph and Sarr

    Thinking that I am definitely going to want Raph asap anyway and Pep roulette will effect Torres.

    All good?

    1. jackruet
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yes.

    2. Fish up a tree
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yes but it will no doubt bite you!

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

      Gray against those weak teams

      RIP

  29. RAMZES666
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Thoughts on my WC draft?

    Sa
    TAA Shaw Tierney
    Salah Jota Torres Benrahma
    Lukaku DCL Antonio

    Foster Liv McArthur Omobamidele

    1. Zogzeg
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Sweet.
      Not tempted by Wolves’ fixtures?
      Semedo for Tierney perhaps?
      Or Traore/Trincao for Benrahma (West Ham midfield rotation could start soon).

      1. RAMZES666
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I have Sa as wolves cs cover. Not convinced by Traore yet, very much a wait and see?

  30. Heisenberg W. W.
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Barnes and Ings out for

    1. Gray + Jimenez
    2. Gray + Bamford
    3. Trincao + Dcl
    4. Traore + Dcl

    CT team 2FTs

    Sanchez
    TTA-Digne-Shaw
    Benrahma-Salah-Bruno-Barnes
    Toney-Ings-Antonio

    Steele-Tsi-Gilmour-Manquillo

    1. tyrannosuarezrex
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      4 for me, and would steer clear of trincao with podence coming back in

      1. Zogzeg
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I can’t afford Traore and DCL, but tempted to roll the dice with Traore and Jimenez.
