    Just a reminder that Brownwill is a £4.4m 90 minute midfielder for anyone with last minute WC budget issues

    1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      but has a downside in that he's Brownhill 😉

      1. Gomolon
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        True, but a regular 2 points is all you hope for from a 4.5/4.4 mid anyway

        1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Agreed. He's a v.good enabler tbh

          1. Crunchie
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

    If home form holds out, are we entering a phase where besides Man City most of the top performing teams are in a similiar home-away pattern.

    Meaning high scores this week needed.

    Then non template team structures catch up ground in gw8.

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Non-template teams never catch up.

  3. Malcolm Tucker for England …
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Hmmmm, Grealish againts TAA-less Liverpool, or Pogba against use-less Everton?

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Grealish is blanking till kingdom come. I would skip Pogba as well.

      1. Mozumbus
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Grealish

    2. OptimusBlack
      • 10 Years

    4. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Liverpool will be defensively better without Trent on the right

    5. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Everton could easily draw or win this. Wednesday night Saturday midday can't be underestimated

    Salah Raphina Townsend Benhrhama
    Ronaldo(c) Antonio AArmstrong

    Livaremnto bissouma Trent

    3. DeadStarComing
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Is this a WC team? I don't like Greenwood, Kovacic, Tierney and Coady.

      1. james 101
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Nope. Just a regular team mate!

    One GW punt:

  16. nadman89
    • 12 Years

    one week punt , which burnley defender should i get? mee tark or lowton

    1. liiusions
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Tarkowski probably got the biggest goal threat so him

    2. abaalan
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Lowton

  17. liiusions
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Best 1 week 8.7 mid punt for WC? Alongside Salah Raph and Saka.

    Will become Jota/City mid next week

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Grealish ?

    2. Flaming Flamingo
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I've gone Mount. Although, in your case I'd just go Jota/City mid now and save the transfer

    3. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Mount
      Pogba
      Zaha

    4. james 101
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Grealish tempts

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

      Zaha v LEI defence

  18. JJO
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Whats the deal with Benrahma?
    No one worried that he wont start?

    1. Muscout
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Is he under threat of losing position?

    2. Touré De Force
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I'm captaining him

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

      Not really

    4. james 101
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Why wouldn’t he?

      I’ve kept him throughout

    5. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      why wouldn't he start?

    6. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

  19. Muscout
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    C) any better nailed 4.0 Def?

  20. FPL_Crisis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Is there enough upside to go Gray to Raphinha for free?
    Mids are Salah Jota Sarr Gray
    My hesitation is that he's been a bit injured, rarely hauls and is some doubt for gw8 with the whole IB uncertainty.
    Don't have wildcard left and ideally wanted 2ft for gw8 - get in city defender and reassess chelsea defence

    Guiata
    Semedo White Livra
    Salah Jota Sarr Gray
