    This weeks odds looked all over the place to me. Wolves and Soton similar CS odds (I'd favor Wolves quite a bit). Arsenal CS odds being like 35% seemed weird as well. NLD without Son or Kane scoring? Can't see that happening.

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I don’t know. Based on results so far, that all seems pretty accurate to me. Wolves have only kept 1 cs to Saints 2 (against better opponents).

      Spurs have 2 goals in 5 games right? Just like Arsenal. Son was missing for some of those mind and he will be the difference. I sold Kane this week so I think he scores.

    FPL can you not post all the week’s articles at the top of page on Match day.

    Absolutely useless on mobile with pages jumping round & looking at today hardly anyone replies!

    Probably gave up waiting for pages to load!

    1. Cojones of Destiny
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      this

    2. Bennerman
      • 5 Years

      FPL? Is their site as cack as this one?

    3. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years

      Glad I wasn’t the only one who experienced the bouncing

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

      Agree, please

  3. Thomas Magnum

    I’m sorry Antonio I didn’t have the footballs to captain you, you can punish me all you want. Time to enjoy the AFL grand final until kick off 🙂

    Most boring transfer I had ever did
    Steele > Foster to waste a FT since I had 2

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

      Might turn out to serve you well further down the road.

      1. Viprin
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah was lucky to have no pressing issues with all the injuries this week. Feels good to still have 2FT next week.

    2. Nanoelektronicar
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      That's great transfer

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

    A second week with full use of my bench, looks like. If they step up with 5 points each again, I won't complain!

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Livramento CS away to City was filthy.

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

      Can see myself having to rely on Allan again this week which isn't ideal, although I was extremely grateful for the 2pts from him last week and not less!

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

    I've already accepted my red arrow this week maybe that will dull the pain? 😀

    1. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      If you have Ronaldo and Salah you’re pretty safe, unlike me lol

      1. Ze_Austin
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Really wish you joined me with Antonio C, Kap

        1. Big boy Bowen
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          I’m still a Bruno belieber, also have this mental block with only capping players 10+

          1. Ze_Austin
            • 5 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            That harmed me when I capped Kane over Antonio in GW3. My rank hasn't recovered

            1. Big boy Bowen
              • 7 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              I know Spurs hadn’t created many chances in the first 2 but Watford at home with Kane back made sense at the time.
              Oh well plenty of time for us 🙂

              1. Ze_Austin
                • 5 Years
                2 years, 6 months ago

                Yup! Good luck

                1. Big boy Bowen
                  • 7 Years
                  2 years, 6 months ago

                  You too!

    2. Optimus.
      • 13 Years

      I've forgotten what one look like 😉

  7. Champ
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Haven't seen Trincao play yet with wolves.... How's he looking anyone?

    1. BENOIT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      All fart and no poo.

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

        Silent and deadly?

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

      He looks good in spots, but he's been a bit inconsistent match to match. Does have shooting ability, but we all know Wolves' finishing issues.

      Troubling thing about him is he often does not finish the match, often subbed for Podence.

    3. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Cheers guys

  8. Chief Break-Everything
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Couldn't work out what to do.. so I missed the deadline and ended up rolling the FT. Best of luck everyone.

    Sanchez
    TAA Shaw Semedo Duffy
    Salah Jota Sarr Raiphinha
    Ronaldo Antonio

    (Steer Livramento Bissouma Bamford)

  9. Bobby Digital
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Kept both Raph and Bam. Got Ings and Gilmour coming on... Good luck everyone!

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

      Raph will play

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Hope so!

      2. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I was hoping for him to be ruled out 😀

  10. PocketZola
    • 6 Years

    First hit of the season after trying to go hitless

  11. Stupendous
    • 11 Years

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

      Same think I might need them

  12. TheTinman
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Should I captain Ronaldo or leave it on Lukaku?

    1. In FPHell
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      You have left it on Lukaku

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

      Lukaku it is

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

      Too late

    4. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years

      well you have a week to decide now

    5. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Luka vs SOU is better

  13. el polako

    Anyone seen Nigel Farage ?
    Need him to lend me some diesel.

    Hey all,

    Just been talking to the editorial team about the bouncing pages. We're aware of the issues with pages loading weirdly (and giving half the site seasickness, sorry!) but we're pretty confident we'll have it fixed for next week or some good alternative. Basically it comes down to how the site loads these blocks (previously the issue was tweets, now it's these linked articles).

    Really sorry it's been an issue for everyone, the next dugout discussion will be up in 30 mins or so to replace this one.

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

      Cheers, pages fill so fast on match day & just unusable waiting to load on mobile 🙂

    2. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years

      I think a Notification Center would be a good idea 🙂

    Good luck everyone. This is the week I break into the top 10k

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Or, maybe... This is the week I break

    2. Stockport Hatter
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I’m around 15k and confident I may tension in the top 50k!!

  16. Fabreghastly

    First rolled transfer of the season for me

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Same. Feels wierd

  17. BrockLanders

    Conor Gallagher hatrick this weekend please 🙂

    1. AC/DC AFC

      Odsonne Edouard!?

  18. Sillet Bang
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    On about 15 hits already lost count! I need to retire from game

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

      If it's gained you more than 60 points, no problem 😉

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

        Haha right? Maths 😀

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

      I've seen some teams rocket up in rank after a handful of hits...just depends on if you get it right.

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

      If it helps I checked my stats from last season and took over -90 from hits, shocking. Said I'd make a proper effort to not take many this season and be patient and I've gotten this far without any but it can all turn and injuries and suspensions and rotation can force your hand

      1. Don Rogers FC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Where can you access last years stats ?

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

          I think it was this site: http://www.fplretro.com/create

          I did it during the summer before this seasons' game opened

  19. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    The new ‘Game is updating’ page is pretty cool

    1. Paqueta Rice

  20. Weak Become Heros

    Reece James starts I hear.

    1. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years

      1. JBG

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

      Glad I shifted him out then in that case.

    7. Snoop Udogie Dogg
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Knew it, glad he's benched but moved him from 3rd to 1st sub, wish I'd gone 3rd now but you never know

  22. CoracAld2831

    Predictions for Jimenez and Harvey Barnes points wise this week?

    1. Stockport Hatter
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      2 and 2

  23. Hazz

    1. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years

      Thanks Hazz, Werner could cause some issues

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        For City defense OR Lukaku owners.
        See which Werner turns up

    2. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      no Silva interesting

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

        Wednesday - Juventus. Expected.

    3. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      3-5-2 might finally unlock Werner

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

      Wow Werner? Interesting, they've barely played together but guess he think his pace will stop the City backline advancing so much?

      1. Walter White (WW)
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Now watch Ole start Cavani & Ronaldo upfront

        1. Walter White (WW)
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          My bad

    5. Esalman
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Jorginho Kovacic Kante all start, plus 5 defenders? Don't think so. Unless Alonso plays #10...

    6. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      No player from City vs Chelsea

      Gulp

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

      Honestly thinks Werner will do more good for kaku , the runs Werner makes opens up spaces for kaku.

    8. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      If Pep wants to get his “tactics” right for this Chelsea game, he needs to target those wingbacks all game and attack really wide to stop them going forward as much.

  24. Stupendous
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    I Benched James. Ugh!

    1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      same but think it was still wise. if he cements a spot thats fine for their good run of games
