      Too late

    Good luck everyone.

    Injuries continue to ruin my season!

    Took a -4 to do Chilwell and Foden to James and Jota.

    Feel OK about it but still don’t feel like I’ve got a grip of things this season after a terrible early wildcard

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Same moves here. Fingers crossed!

      Good luck

        Nice one, thanks. You too! Strength in numbers!

      I used my FT on Chilwell to James on Thursday night as a price rise, which looked imminent, would have knocked me out of the ability to sign him.

      1. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Good move. Think I made mine then too. Jota this morning

  3. ILOVEBAPS
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Worth a hit for these long term picks?
    Mbuemo & Toney > Gallagher & King.

    1. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I’m going to revisit King in a few weeks

      1. space mercenary
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Agree with this. King can come in later. Brentford still have decent fixtures.

    Deadline for GW14 only 4 days away...let's get back on the grind 😀

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Exhausted! 😛

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Easy 2 FTs for next weekend then.

  5. ILOVEBAPS
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Percentage of Foden being a cameo or no show anyone??

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      30% 😛

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Totally guess work this one I’m afraid! I have absolutely no idea

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        *total

    3. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      No one knows.

      I wouldn't worry. Nothing you can do.

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

      Was he training with the team? I thought it was solo training only, which if true suggests he's not ready for cameo.
      But who knows!

    5. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      He's

    6. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      He's under 30% to start amonst "experts", refer to https://twitter.com/Jumpthewave

      For me, he either starts or possibly not even in the squad

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

    Jota back in the team. We've been here before a few times...

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

    I've not been on here for deadline in a good while.
    Seems a good bit calmer than I've seen it in the past, normally be on 15 pages of 1 line comments by now.

    1. jackruet
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Because FPL has become predictable. You know whom to own, Whom to captain

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Wait until Lukaku is back and United get a bit better

      2. 'Broadsword Calling Da…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        If they took away the Vice Captain, it would be far more fun (like in the very old days, before it was introduced). You had to really think about who to invest the armband in and sometimes with all the rumours swirling, would make you twitch and possibly change, was amazing. I just felt that many could not handle this and the VC was introduced as a 2nd chance cushion, so wishy washy. Bring back (C) only!

        1. 'Broadsword Calling Da…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          ....and then (as part of your main point states) watch these pages fly again around deadline!

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Good observation, me neither ...

    3. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I’ve not been on much recently but in general ive noticed traffic is down massively. That’s not to say the chat is any better tho!! They really need a complete revamp of the forum

    4. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I was just here in case there was news on Foden. I'd have taken a hit to swap him for Jota if there was reliable reports on him being out. As it is, I just switched Chilwell for Alonso.

  8. jackruet

    2 years, 4 months ago

    Who else thinks FPL becomes boring. Same team everywhere. Taking punts on captaincy rarely works. Play the boring template, Your rank will go up. Try to be clever you will get punished. Only few players are performing.

    1. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Not true

    2. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Marathon not a sprint

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        This.

      2. jackruet
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Marathon is boring but good for rank

    3. BeWater
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I've played it pretty safe all season. Got bored with it and captained Havertz v Norwich.

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

        Love it! I sold Havertz this week so he’s getting a hattrick

      2. The Ilfordian
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Norwich?

        1. BeWater
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Yeah. That week Salah scored a biblical number of points at Old Trafford.

          1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            Try capping Vardy that week

    4. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Nothing new though. Every season there is a certain time when the template is very strong.

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        It's only boring when you're losing.

        1. jackruet
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          I am winning thats why It's boring

          1. Fitzy.
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            Go on champ, link your team then...

            1. jackruet
              • 2 Years
              2 years, 4 months ago

              I Don't know how to.

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

                On your profile section there's a section for website.

                Just link your team url with team id (got by clicking on your gw history)

              2. Fitzy.
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 12 Years
                2 years, 4 months ago

                You wouldn't link it even if you did know how to...

        2. Karan14
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Haha probably. But I feel I was way more into it when I was having a nightmare season.

      2. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        This! Lukaku Kane Ronaldo Bruno to shake the base soon 😛

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

      Lukaku kdb ronaldo kane need to perform to shift this template. The more perfoming player the better

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Yep, see above

    6. Zalk
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      The more template you go, the higher you go, the more impact the fringe players have, the better you need to be as a manager

    7. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Definitely not boring, regardless of whether teams are template or not, still have to make close decisions each week and to try and boost rank

    8. Pinturicchio10
        2 years, 4 months ago

        You're boring

        1. jackruet
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Don't get hurt

          1. Pinturicchio10
              2 years, 4 months ago

              Not hurt just bored. Say something interesting.

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

          My personal feeling for some years has been that it should now be a max of two players from any given side rather than three.

          Would smash the 'template' problem at a stroke

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

            Only one team has three players in the template

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

              I hesitated to use the word template because I was worried it would be taken literally, which it has.

              Now I have to use the longer form, I will. Two players would mean that there will be far, far more difference in teams, simply put.

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

                Ok, who here has a triple up other than Liverpool players?

                No one? Figured

              2. AC/DC AFC
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 8 Years
                2 years, 4 months ago

                You mean one less Chelsea player or no Jota?

          2. circusmonkey
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            Then nobody would have Jota.

        3. Pat Bonner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          I don’t think it’s boring but I do think salah has taken the captaincy element out of the game recently. They really underpriced salah the last few years. Should be 15m to give us a decision to make

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

            Christ, I'm not bothering furthering this.

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

              To Gink chap

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

                Well that was insightfull. Half baked idea 'smashing' nothing

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

                  Wtf? Weird anger

          2. Magic Zico
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            This was actually lots of folks here shouting to remove captaincy from the game in the last few seasons, now that's how it feels 😛

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

          On the captain, I agree to a certain extent. Salah is as close to perma capt as I've seen since I started fpl 7 or so years ago. I took it of him for utd game and was punished badly!

          But still plenty of other variants, and mo will be gone shortly, so c choices will open up!

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

          Boredom comes from within

          1. jackruet
            • 2 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            Boredom comes from 11 straight green arrow

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

              If you find that boring then thats on you.

              1. jackruet
                • 2 Years
                2 years, 4 months ago

                I never said its on you

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

                  Could your green arrows be bigger? Could you do better? If you have no desire to improve then you will find it boring. If you have nothing to play for anymore then why bother.

              1. jackruet
                • 2 Years
                2 years, 4 months ago

                7 or 8 i guess

                1. Fitzy.
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 12 Years
                  2 years, 4 months ago

                  So, not 11 then...

                  1. jackruet
                    • 2 Years
                    2 years, 4 months ago

                    Still boring Enough

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

                      Burned

                    2. zes
                      • 8 Years
                      2 years, 4 months ago

                      Honestly if it’s so boring why do you post your entire squad and ask for advice? Might make the game interesting if you think for yourself

            2. My heart goes Salalalalah
              • 7 Years
              2 years, 4 months ago

              Should be the case if you had a shocking start...

        6. PascalCygan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Infuriating but not boring!

        7. The Knights Template
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Mine Vardy captaincy will relieve mine cosmic boredom. Will send me to rapture or agony, but not boredom.

        8. Angelic upstart
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          It's just getting juicy now.
          Rotation will really start now and Afcon also comes into effect.

          Same every season, barring the Perma captain. Well not since Suarez anyway.

          I livened my team up with -12, Auba, chilwell, Teirney, Mbuemo > Jimenez, James, Trent, Gallagher

          With the next game week next week needed a clear out 🙁

          Deadline was at 11.

            • 8 Years

            Figured it was 11:30 as usual

              • 5 Years
              2 years, 4 months ago

              That was usual about six months ago

                    A life outside Fantasy Football? How cosmopolitan!

                  • 8 Years

                      I'm not sure smart ars is fair when you're a season and a half out of date. With your question on a site specifically about fantasy football. Be fair.

                      Smart arse ffs lol? He said it was 6 months ago, and I was just telling him I thought it was in place from last season.

                      Not sure that falls under smart arse, but context can be hard to read on text!

        I've been planning some future moves with AFCON in mind (e.g. looking at King instead of Dennis) but now I wonder, with this new variant, if AFCON will go ahead.

        I'm getting ripped in my fantasy WhatsApp group because I've taken a hit for TAA and Salah C with Jota VC not realising there's a chance the game is called off.

        Is there really a good chance it is or are they just trying to make me panic?

        1. Ginkapo FPL

        The game would be so much better without Salah. There isn't a single f***ing gameweek where his effectvie ownership isn't above 150%.

        That's not how I want to play, that's not how it should be played. A man can't take a punt on captaining someone else. No way I'm taking this s**t serious anymore until this change.

        1. zes
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          No one is stopping you capping someone else, lots of players outscored salah last week and the week before

                    I was sarcastic.

                    But yes, those Egyptians and Indians really ruin the game with those fake accounts. We can never know our real rank because of those teams.

              I'd actually be happy if they done away with captain as its a huge swing if you get it wrong. But never going to happen, as it adds to the excitement.

                • 8 Years

                Salah has done that for mate. Captain doesnt matter anymore.

              Definitely makes it harder if you're lower ranked. Captaincy is a biggie and usually you could go for a differential captain to try and jump rank.

              You can still do that but it's not really effective because Salah returns every bloody week! 😀

              1. Dušan Citizen
                • 10 Years
                2 years, 4 months ago

                Very true! People with lower rank try to find some differential and lift the rank, but we only getting deeper and deeper.

              Punts exist outside of captains.

              Besides, if you don't want to play this way, don't captain him. It's that simple.

              Salah has taken captaincy out of the game which is why im liking it better. Its a tougher game when you cant rely on your captain getting you big greens which is mostly based on luck.

              1. Dušan Citizen
                • 10 Years
                2 years, 4 months ago

                But isn't the captaincy and picking the right captain the most fun thing about FPL?

                1. Karan14
                  • 8 Years
                  2 years, 4 months ago

                  Not for me. There are mostly 50-50 calls every week and if you get it wrong then you're done for that week.

              This is a little "Old man yells at cloud"

              Choose another captain or be wise/bold with the rest of your team. There are other players scoring points.

              As soon as another premium attacking player starts delivering, this will all change.

              It's a unique situation right now in that KdB, Lukaku, Bruno, Kane, etc are all injured or anonymous.

              EO wasn't even a thing a couple of season ago, yet people took more risks.
              It's the knowledge of all these stats that make the herd captain out of fear....also the fact he's a pretty good footballer

              1. Dušan Citizen
                • 10 Years

              • 9 Years
              2 years, 4 months ago

              Salah has had high EO prior, but now he's playing immense. There's no player in form that can rival him, so alternative is basically none. I understand people captaining attacking fullbacks, but cs bust is just one slip away and on the contrary one moment of brilliance from Salah to bring you points. You really gamble on others to outscore Salah, it's not about how the game is played as how landscape is at the moment.

              I'm a bitter ex alonso owner, bought just as he was dropped, and provided a succession of lows, and not sure ill go back there!
              But outside of gw1, he wasn't actually that great? 1 assist in 5, isn't spectacular, but guess still good value for 5.6.

            Couldn't bring myself to bench Antonio even though he does have a very tough fixture but West Ham are playing some brilliant stuff atm! Let's hope he grabs a goal..

            Did Rudiger to Alonso and benched Antonio. Madness?

              Not mad, but maybe not a points max potential move.

                  Makes sense, one bad game Vs one of the best teams in the world shouldn't mean instantly dropped especially when Tierney can't stay fit anyway
