    Lessons for this week

    Should have gone with gut and captained son over Salah.

    Really bad luck with Reguilón

    Palace look good / united still not right

    I’m still devastated at late Brighton equaliser

      Same. All four. Exactly the same.

        It’s been a good week (62 all out) but could have been even better

        1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Got stuck at 49.

    Did ronaldo get another knock ?

    1. Ivan Toney Soprano
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years

      Not as far as I know, think they just haven't removed the yellow yet

  3. Atimis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

    Thoughts on Dennis/King and Watkins up front for the next few games?
    Can't really find many options there.

    Or Antonio instead of one of the above?

    1. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I’m going Antonio and King. I worry about Watkins when Ings is back

  4. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Can't decide what to do with my 2 FT

    Which two leaves my team first

    A. Toney
    B. Zaha
    C.Mbeumo
    D. Vardy

    1. Lord of Ings
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Vardy toney

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

        To King and Ronaldo?

        1. Lord of Ings
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Yep.
          Good replacements!

        2. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years

          Ronnie not worth it

    Not ideal taking hits 2 consecutive weeks but these look decent moves to me.

      Anyone??

        who for?

  7. iL PiStOlErO

    2 years, 4 months ago

    WC team. Don't have the best team value so it makes thing more complicated so trying to cover most secure starters along with fixtures. Any major improvements?

    DDG 3.9
    TAA Cancelo Rudi Dier Jhonson(if fit)
    Salah Jota Bilva Bissouma Allan
    CR7 Antonio Dennis

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

      Why bissouma and Allan? I would remove CR7 if it means upgrading elsewhere

      1. iL PiStOlErO
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        For not having benching headaches and still have playable bench. Also CR7 with this run of fixtures should provide. It between Bowen and Antonio for me actually

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

      I would certainly downgrade Antonio to Bowen to make more balanced team.

      1. iL PiStOlErO
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Ok, cheers. This is the team with Bowen then (changes in big letters) :

        DDG 3.9
        TAA Cancelo Dier JAMES GUEHI
        Salah Jota Bilva Bissouma BOWEN
        CR7 Dennis BROJA

        What do you say?

  8. Saosin

    I have:
    Jesus (1)
    Vardy (1)
    Regulion (0)
    Alonso (1)
    Mbeumo om bench. Green?

    1. el polako

      Brown and steaming...

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

      So do I. Looks like small green if you have either Bernardo or Son. If both, big green.

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

        Sorry, your team is linked. No green to be seen imo.

    E Kane to ?????
    F Keep Kane (bench him) & do Raph to Bowen

    1. cigan

      Like C but might just do F for a laugh

    2. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      A for -4 is my plan. Even though I have to sell Toney instead of Kane.

    3. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I just sold both Son and Jesus by the way.

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

        Son just had Brentford and Norwich, MU attack has them next. Look at the fixtures when you play this game!

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

    I’ve got to get a new keeper (McCarthy injured).

    I’m leaning De Gea with fixtures and saves? I don’t like any of the 4.5 keeper fixture or form and ramsdale is 4.9 anyway now.

    Thoughts?

    1. Wolfman180
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      In the same boat and thats who I'm looking at. Want to move early but with mid week games its a bit risky

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

        Keeper injuries are so rare but the midweek fixtures are frustrating

  11. Devos

    Current team (0FT, 1.6 ITB)

    Guaita
    TAA - Cancelo - James - Reguilon
    Salah - Bernardo - ESR - Gallagher
    Ronaldo - Dennis

    Foster - Wilson - Lamptey - Cornet

    I want to sell Cornet.
    What would you do?
    a) swap for Mount (today, before price rise)
    b) swap for Bowen
    c) swap for another up to 7.6
    d) keep Cornet
    e) another transfer

  14. Sgt Frank Drebin

    Why is FPL updating the OR when they haven't even given bonus points yet? Not very optimal

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I like the quick live updates, massive improvement from this se.

      1. el polako

        *season.

      2. Sgt Frank Drebin
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Same, but the OR will change anyway when they add the bonus, so it's not the real rank anyway

    2. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Because Ragabolly made his website and they have been laughed at 😉

      Like those moves. Agreed, not ideal but I have held Antonio and Mbeumo and wish I had taken the hits. I feel that I have a Toney shaped problem in my squad too.

    3. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      I don't like that plan. I bought and kept Son for these two fixtures, yes Spurs and Son are improving, but MU attack is better and has these exact same plum fixtures. Getting Ronaldo in has to be the biggest priority imo.
