Interview

Meet the Manager – three-time top 10k finisher reveals his Gameweek 8 Wildcard

Joe meets another Fantasy Premier League (FPL) manager with a stellar career record across the game.

This time around he meets Prasun Singhal, known as Pras among the Fantasy Football Scout community.

As well as finishing in the top 10,000 three times, including a top 5k finish, he has not ended a campaign lower than 100k in the last decade.

But after a strong start to the current season his team is losing rank fast and he has decided to press the Wildcard button.

Across this episode, Pras explains his strategies for success and tips for a strong finish. He also takes an honest look at his own FPL career to see how he could finish even higher up the rankings.

Pras explains how Fantasy Football content has been important to his strong finishes, with the Scoutcast and articles from FFScout a real help.

The FFScout Members’ Area Comparison Tool has been of particular use.

He also name-checks the array of Twitter posters and other podcasters that he has followed over the years to help him gain an advantage.

With his Wildcard in play, Pras takes us through the reasons for the players he has chosen as well as those vying for a place in his final XI.

Price points have been an important part of his strategy over the years and he explains how this is driving many of his decisions.

A strong spread of cash across all positions looks to be key to his thinking as is the value offered by assets from Brentford and Southampton in particular.

He also takes part in some future-gazing, when the template may alter even more radically from its current form. Could West Ham’s ‘season keeper’ striker Michail Antonio (£8.0m) even make way within the month?

The Meet the Manager series is where Joe chats to FPL managers with a strong record of success, an interesting view of the game and are offering the community a unique insight into Fantasy management.

His chat with Pras can be viewed below.

      There are too many unknowns for me. Save the transfer.

    When signing up for the transfer planner and it asks for your FFS username, is it your username on your private profile (visible by only you) or your handle for chatting publicly?

    1. Camzy

      Just use your FFS one. But in truth you don't even need to do that. The planner is on the following page.

        Got a link Camzy?

          Never mind, got a copy!

  3. Fulchester's New Centr…
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Why introduce Pras as 3 X Top 10k manager when it 5 times?
    Even I have done it a couple of times and wouldn't recommend anyone to listen to me

    1. It’s A Joke
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Bit of a mean thing to say, mate.

      1. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        No, what I mean is 5 times is not only very good, but a lot more impressive than 3 times, but the headline says 3 for some reason.

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I'd also add that picture of OGS is not confidence inspiring

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

      And the point is?

      1. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        The point is the headline is mistaken and not doing him full credit

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

          I thought that he's correct 3x 10K finisher although I would not rely on the record but more on the content and he's talking sense as far as my concern

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

          The article is mistaken not the headline

    4. jason_ni
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Are you saying he's done it 5 times and not 3?

      1. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Yes, is that not right?

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

          I've got no idea, there is either a typo in the article or the headline.

          Says 3 in one place, and 5 in the other. Does anyone know his team link?

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

            Watch the video

              • 8 Years
              2 years, 5 months ago

              Mistake is in the article then!

              1. Fulchester's New Centr…
                • 6 Years
                2 years, 5 months ago

                The moral of this story is actually reading the articles causes nothing but trouble.

  4. BOATIES FC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Obviously dependent on injury news.. WC looks like it will come down to Son and Dias / Azpi for either a Chel or Man City defensive double up. Or TAA and Foden/Grealish

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

      think im going TAA and Foden

  5. Fulchester's New Centr…

    Mods
    If this comes across as a d*ck comment, please remove.
    It is not meant to be any comment on Pras at all, just on the error in the headline.

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

      Or the error is in the article!

    anyone know when the scoutcast is?

    I somehow finished my one full day watching Sherlock series. Quite late , but understandable i think for someone who not based in UK.

    Just take some note and combined it with FPL tactics i believe the most:-

    1. The game is on. Buy time (to study and get advantage).
    2. Never gamble! Count.
    3. Not all of them performed all the time. Look for fixtures and form - not in sherlock obviously
    4. Use all our senses especially eyes. Eye test.
    5. Use the correct words and terms. Salah - essential if he hit forms because of high ppm, history, capability and ownership. (Ownership still have their merit for someone who is highly owned and for some period of times.)
    Essential, very good, average, bad.
    6. Put aside emotion about players, teams, managers etc. Choose the best.
    7. Set for 3, 6 and 9 matches
    8. Know and use the best weapon : LONG history of players capability (proven) and fixtures.
    9. Know your staff, your resources, appreciate them.
    10. Pick players that matches everyhing, tick every box.
    11. Pick players according to what combination will score most points. Usually its 3-5-2 or 3-4-3 but keep in mind mids and forwards are pricey. Sometimes its good to play 4-4-2 if want to get big quality attackers instead of mid-priced attackers.

      When all other options have been discounted, the obvious stands out no matter how improbable.

      Alonso (c)

    Save here? 1.5itb

    Sanchez
    TAA Cancelo Rudiger
    Salah (c) Raphina Saka Gray
    Lukaku (vc) Antonio Jimenez

    Foster Marcal Livramento Sissoko

    1. BOATIES FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Yes easy save at the moment

    2. Grande Tubarão
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years

      looks great, definitely save

    3. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      If in doubt, do nowt

  9. SINGH
    • 5 Years

    Will Townsend be restricted when DCL and Rich come back?

    1. Third Eye Vision
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Well, he won’t be on penalties. There’s an argument to say that with DCL and Richi, more of his crosses and corners might get converted.

    Sanchez, Foster
    Alonso, Rudiger, Digne, Shaw, Livramento
    Salah, Greenwood, Benrahma, Raphinha, Bissouma
    Toney, Antonio, Ronaldo

    1) Digne > Cancelo
    2) Shaw > Cancelo
    3) Ron > Lukaku
    4) Greenwood > City mid
    5) Consider activating WC

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      2. Utd can't keep a cleanie.

    2. Grande Tubarão
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      3 has the most upside I'd say. I'd go for that or I'd also consider 5. I think there's probably enough you want to do to justify it (plus it's always fun to have two weeks to play around)

  11. jason_ni
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Pras has 4k followers on twitter.
    Maybe I should get on this fpl manager social media roundabout, have 2 finishes inside top5, and another 1 inside top 10k 🙂

    Where does one start with getting a twitter following?!?

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

      What would you do with twitter followers?

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

        Get on meet the manager for my 2nd wildcard lol.

        I was saying it abit tongue in cheek, but its just interesting, fpl getting bigger and bigger, could be good to have a presence in a few years, not that I see myself as being good enough to deserve such a presence!

        Screw them out of a few quid on patreon of course. 👿

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

          Hardly worth the effort

          • 6 Years

          Far cry from small boys in the park, jumpers for goalposts.

    2. jason_ni
      • 8 Years

      Just noticed he has 14.5k tweets, maybe too much effort for me!

        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        It's all content and monetising baby in the tech dominated social media world.

        Can be a bit flimsy tho.

        Works for a few like most things. Just look at kids content on YouTube and some influencers are millionaires apparently. Aka Vlad and Nikki.

            Thanks.. I thought I was doing ok in life, and you've just introduced me to an 8 and 6 year old boys who have a net worth if 50odd million.

            Time for a mid life crisis, and work out where it all went wrong. No you tube in the early 90s.. ill blame that.

    Any Fanteam players here? What’s the deal with future double gameweeks? Is it the same as FPL?

  13. Kryptonite666
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Can I pls get some advice for my team. 1.4 ITB

    Sanchez
    TAA Cancelo Rudiger Marcal (Livramento)
    Salah Saka Sarr Gray (Mendy)
    Ronaldo Lukaku (Perica)

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

      Just about everybody is getting rid of Ronaldo.

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Marcal to Dias work? Or just lose Ron so you can do something next week with all your newly released funds.

    3. Grande Tubarão
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Squad looks seriously thin.

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

        Ah, missed that you have 3 premiums - I'd get shot of Ronaldo so you can spread the funds a bit more.

  14. Mr Bird
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    On a wildcard would you keep Alonso (bought at 5.8m) or switch to Azpilicueta?

    Already own Rüdiger, Cancelo and TAA.

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Get Dave

  15. Gunners in Haaland
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Just keep on CR $elling...

  16. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Any idea how many how many user accounts ffs has?

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Tens of thousands at least

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

        Optimus has tens of thousands alone i bet. 😛

        If Hub had 70k+accounts then this place being the most popular dedicated fpl community i would think the number could be well on it's way to 1 million accounts?

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Crikey, with this and learning of the existence of Vlad and Nicky I feel rather small

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

            I have a net total of zero tweets and youtube followers but Vlad and Nicky have given me the belief that i could build a sizable following during the next 6 years or so.

            I was thinking about maybe starting a Joe Rogan Experience style podcast but instead of having a mix of comedians and MMA stars i could have mini league rivals and other guest fpl nerds.

            I could make millions just sitting down getting drunk,high and talking nonsense.
            I am already good at this,just need to set up a camera and a mic.

            You could be my Eddie Bravo Fulchester.

            1. Fulchester's New Centr…

              Thanks Ogie. I'm game.

          2 years, 5 months ago

          How many members are in FF scout leagues. Can you check that on livefpl? (I didn't join them yet, because of some mini leagues)

          1. Fulchester's New Centr…
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            200 pages of approx 200 teams each on Livefpl so about 40000

            1. Fulchester's New Centr…
              • 6 Years
              2 years, 5 months ago

              That is for league open to all.

              1. Baps hunter
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 6 Years
                2 years, 5 months ago

                Yes, but not every customer has joined these leagues on the other hand.

            2. Baps hunter
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 6 Years
              2 years, 5 months ago

              So 100 000 isn't impossible. For that amount of players this place is pretty quiet.

              1. Baps hunter
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 6 Years
                2 years, 5 months ago

                Well it is too high number tbh.

          2. Ógie
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Only shows 40k teams but it is surely bigger than that?

            Anyways not everybody that signs up here enters the site mini-leagues as they don't want to their rivals to know where the action is.

            There must be some way of finding out?

  17. Zimo

    Odds on Watford winning the league?

    1. Zimo
      • 5 Years

      Dilly ding dilly dong time

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      2500 to 1 at present, but doesn't seem very generous

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Not woth it. I'd rather by lottery tickets.

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

    Stats for Lukaku are very concerning?

    Nowhere to be seen for big chances, shots in the box or on target.

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

      Yeah. Very overrated striker

    2. Wılly
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      He's a flat-track bully at the spearhead of the Chelsea attack, I'd be afraid to go without over the green patch of fixtures

      1. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        This

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

        The only player I would be afraid of going without is Salah.

    3. AD2110
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Didn’t he have a goal disallowed, assisted Werner’s offside goal and also hit the post in the last game? Very unlucky to not get anything

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

        Points are what matter in this game in the end.

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

          "Points are what matter in this game in the end"

          Then why are you so concerned with stats? As stats are hardly a fool-proof indicator. Seems to me if you're sat there fretting about a player's stats you need some better hobbies.

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

      Even Werner is outperforming Lukaku in the stats department.

      He had xG good enough in last match and he hasn't been underperforming long term. Bad luck and variance, feel free to sell him for Vardy who has gotten more goals than anyone, if you really want to. I won't.

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

        Did Ronaldo > Vardy, Lukaku > DCL and have Antonio.

        So reckon I will be ok.

      Guy was known as a troll before, and he’s trolling again. I’d say going without Alonso is more of a risk..

      And I agree, Salah is the only ‘essential’.

    People yet to wildcard and not planning to do so this gameweek,
    what gameweek are you looking to use it?

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

      14 or 15, probably.

      Was waiting for Utd fixture swing, but they are so bad that I'm left without any plan at all.
      Will just leave as long as I can.

  20. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Wildcard time. Draft I’m happy with. Thoughts?

    Sanchez // Raya

    Cancelo Azpilicueta Laporte Cucurella Livramento

    Salah Son Townsend // Normann Brownhill

    Lukaku Aubameyang // Toney

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Few minutes nteresting choices there.
      Obvious questions, but why Auba and why Laporte and Cucurella over say Dias and Duffy.
      Never been a fan of rotating keepers, personally.

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Dias and Duffy is nice tbh. Get this feeling Duffy gets benched soon though…

        I just think Cucurella looks excellent and nailed. Big returns for him soon. Laporte immense goal threat.

        Aubameyang is a punt. Excellent history in the next 4 games; 3 at home which Auba and Arsenal look better.

        I love rotating keepers. Gets rid of the stress if can find those that rotate well.

        1. Fulchester's New Centr…
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Fair enough.
          May all your arrows be green.

  21. Mackans
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Thoughts on my WC team?

    Ramsdale
    Trent Cancelo Azpi Rudiger
    Salah Foden Raphinha
    Lukaku Antonio Hwang
    Bench: Foster, Livramento, Brownhill, Mbuemo

    Ib 0.4

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Not sure about the formation, but can't really fault the personnel.
      I know you have plenty of cover, but not worried about Foden and Pep roulette?

      1. It’s A Joke
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Pep roulette still means no City players for me. May end up being the same for Chelsea if Tuchel becomes similarly unpredictable.

      2. Mackans
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I have Mbuemo on the bench, so some weeks it will be 3-4-3, some weeks 4-4-2, and some weeks 4-3-3 as shown up here. Mbuemo, Rudiger & Hwang will rotate.

        Of course it’s a risk Foden won’t play all GWs, but I think the potential against Burnley at home etc is too high to ignore

        1. Baps hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Not so long ago someone here was absolutely certain that Torres is nailed. I just can't trust Pep.

    2. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Looks fine to me. Last week it was ESR, this week it's Mbeumo in WCs.

      1. It’s A Joke
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        It’s so fickle.

      2. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        On I mean, time to fall asleep I guess.

  22. It’s A Joke
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    As there is hardly anyone on and most of you aren’t trolls, what’s the thoughts on my team? My main aim is to get rid of my Watford players later on, especially the keepers.

    Bauchmann l Foster
    Alonso l James l Shaw l TAA l Henry
    Salah l Gray l Townsend l Sarr l Benrahma
    Ronaldo l Antonio l Toney

    I know many will say ‘the bench is too strong’ but that’s not a concern for me with all the injuries and unforeseen restings of players. I think a strong bench is important at the mo.

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I personally don't like threemiun and that midfield. Chilly made so big error leading to a goal, that you have to keep Alonso and hope. Sarr to Saka would probably be my first transfer.

      1. It’s A Joke
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah, maybe Saka, but still not convinced he’s a starter.

    2. FFSbet.com
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Ronaldo + Shaw > Lukaku + Cancelo?

      thoughts below

      1. It’s A Joke
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Yes, possibly, but already made my transfers. May go double City defence with:

        Ron to Luk
        Shaw to Cancelo
        James/Alonso to Dias

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

      I also have double Everton midfield, Gray and Doucoure and ticking over nicely.

      Your biggest issue is the double CHE defence but feck only knows what defence Tuchel unleases GW8 so you could be sitting on a goldmine.

      1. It’s A Joke
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        That’s my thoughts, mate, it will pay off soon. At least I have good players coming on if it doesn’t…as has been the case.

  23. sirmorbach

    2 years, 5 months ago

    Gabriel Jesus too much of a gamble?

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I wouldn't sell Antonio for him and both DCL and Bamford are decent options.

      1. sirmorbach
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Bam bam liklely to be back you reckon?

        1. Baps hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          If he is back before Norwich, I will want him then.

        2. Baps hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Just tried to google it out. Three weeks was metioned 5 days ago. I expect him to be back, but whether it's gw8 or gw9 or later, I don't know.

  24. FFSbet.com
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    If no injuries Williams > Tierney with 0.9 ITB?

    Raya (Gunnarsson)
    TAA - Alonso* - Cancelo (Williams* - Livramento)
    Salah - Sarr - Raphinha - Jota (Gray)
    Lukaku - Toney - Antonio

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Or Chelsea defender

    2. It’s A Joke
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Keep Alonso

      Yes, get rid of Williams at all costs. I did. Norwich are utter crap.

    3. Ruth_NZ
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      No, that's a structural mistake. Williams ➡ Duffy maybe. Don't spend too much.

    4. Gabistuta
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Look at White instead and bank the extra

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

    Would you plan to bring in Raph for Sarr this coming gameweek or too risky for playing time, better to wait til GW9?

    1. Deer-in-headlights
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Tempting, but probably best to at least wait for more news on the Brazil situation.

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

        for sure, won't make any moves until deadline regardless of price
        Have 2ft and one move is Semedo to City defender
        Could roll the other and have 2 for gw9

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

      I'm waiting until GW9 (unless I WC). But I'm probably not playing Sarr anyway. Will likely play Ben White in a 442.

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

        feels like the right time. haven't considered benching Sarr yet (new manager bounce?).
        Would be nice to be able to play Livra + Armstrong vs LEE and roll a transfer

  26. 272MK
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Rudiger or Azpili?

    Rudiger is more secure by how much?

    1. BeWater
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Hard to say between those two. Don't think you can really go wrong with either. If I had to guess I'd say Rudiger plays more minutes. CHO, Chalobah and Reece James can all play where Azpi does.

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

      Azpi offers a bit more going forward and is the captain. Rudiger +0.5m is decent but now that gap is only 0.2m
      probably can't go wrong with either

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

      Yeah i think Rudi is more nailed

  27. Ruth_NZ
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    By 10% maybe? Thing with Rüdi is that there isn't really an alternative at LCB but Azpi will also usually play, either RCB or RWB.

    There is also a chance that TT experiments with a 4-2-3-1 soon so that should be borne in mind as well.

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

      Reply fail to above post.

  28. BeWater
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Good news that Antonio isn't going on international duty. Can stop stressing about his hamstrings for a couple of weeks.

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

      Yep I think the break will do him good

  29. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Ramsdale 4.0
    TAA Cancelo Rudiger Duffy Livramento
    Salah Foden Raphinha Mbeumo Allan
    Lukaku Antonio Jimenez

    0.0 itb

    How’s this WC draft??

    Thanks

    1. BeWater
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Very good. Got all the bases covered there.

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Like it and I would WC to something similar if play it this week

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

        Thanks mate, Foden is a little bit of a gamble I guess

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

      looks like a copy of the team of the year so far with the exception of Foden and Jimenez
      Hard to fault on current form
      If I still had my wildcard i'll look at someone like Son

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

        Son could be getting ahead of the game for sure, I need more confidence in Spurs before though… and I’d need to raise some more funds somehow.

        Thanks

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

          yep just depends what your strategy is moving forward
          team is on form and looks good just not super flexible
          Jimenez to a Hwang type player could raise the funds but not urgent

    4. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Very nice indeed, I'd be tempted to move Allan to Luiz though, better 5th mid to have imo and you never know when that. 1 might come in handy. Could even go Brownhill and save. 2, every penny counts 🙂

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

        Yep very true, could be any of those 3… I like Luiz too he’s due a wonder goal

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

    I own James and potentially looking to swap to Azpi (who is on the verge of rising)
    Already earmarked Semedo to Cancelo/Dias for gw8
    Would you just hold off swapping Chelsea defenders until after Brentford game, even if James misses out.
    Have cover in Livra, just annoying to miss out on price changes - already have poor team value
    As I write this it's probably better to just wait since we don't know re Trent availability

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

      Definitely wait, James might even be fit and well rested
