      Sanchez

    Ronaldo hattrick or I'm toast

    Canos should be named Cannot

    Better avoid tripling up altogether considering the current minefield of cancellations.

  8. Paqueta Rice

    Brentford have City twice and Liverpool in their next 5. Yikes

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      will probably get some sudden injuries and ask for games to be postponed

    Is the 2nd wildcard based on the Gregorian calendar rather than the gameweek number? Next gameweek is GW20, ergo halfway through the season - so give me my wildcard please.

    Cue all the "8 years, really?!" comments

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      • 14 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Based on the rules.

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        They also had rules of 1 free hit a season and gameweek deadlines being 90 minutes (not 95 minutes) before the first kick off. Rules are there to be broken.

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          The WC rule has been after GW20.

          1. Mr. O'Connell
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Yeah cheers. Went to have a look on the rules. Guess the old January wildcard has some influence on why that rule is what it is.

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years

      Says 9 years now mate

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        And not a minute wasted

  10. Mr. O'Connell

    Sanchez 11 pointer to nicely round off another sub-par day of FPL

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

      That’s bugging the $h1t out of me. DDG 1 pointer incoming now

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Looks like 9 currently.

    3. alsybach
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      He hasnt got 11, just the 9

  11. Fabreghastly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Impressed with Baptiste

  12. Paqueta Rice
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Cup opponent is finished ahead by 4 points and I have DDG and Dalot to go. Need to score 5 to win as he would go through with a draw on goals scored.

    1. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Two starts would get you 4. You should be fine

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

        4 would see me out though I need 5. So a save point, cs, bonus or attacking returns without any yc or negative for goals conceded.

        1. Scholes Out For Summer
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          literally anything would put you over. Think you'll be fine

      2. Ha.
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        inb4 United concede twice

  13. Scholes Out For Summer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    This sounds greedy, but Sanchez should be on 6 saves no? There was a shot from canos at 88th minute

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      89
      Attempt saved. Sergi Canós (Brentford) right footed shot from the right side of the box is saved in the centre of the goal. Assisted by Ivan Toney.

        • 10 Years

        bless thanks TM will wait for them to update

    2. HonestBlatter
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Yes one save point and 1 baps is missing still. FPL towers wake up

    A or B?

    A. Brownhill > Gallagher or
    B. Watkins > Antonio

    A will need a bit forward planning on how to afford Salah after AFCON.

    Sanchez is missing one save point would also give 3baps to him if/when added

    1. CroatianHammer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Did he definitely get 6 saves?

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I didn't see the game, surely they will add if he did?

    3. HonestBlatter
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Canos save at 88min was not added

      1. Goooo Rickie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        I own Sanchez but didn't watch the game. Is this true?

        2 point swing!!

    4. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Commentary shows 5 saves.

      1. Scholes Out For Summer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        all stats sites says 6 shots on target for Brentford

        1. HonestBlatter
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          One save was Cucurella's so it might be right then

          1. Scholes Out For Summer
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Sanchez did make the save before Cucurella clearance though

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

              That wasn’t a shot that was a cross Sanchez punched

    5. Lord.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      One of the shots was cleared off the line by a defender.

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        B365 giving 6 on target, but they're not the same as FPL shots on target.

  21. Paqueta Rice
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Give Henderson a start Ralph, go on

  22. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 14 Years

    FH draft I would have played if Arsenal was off (I posted it on here)

    DDG
    Lamptey Cuccarella Dias
    Trossard KDB Mahrez Bowen Bruno
    Ronaldo(c) Broja

    All who played today have returned :angry:

    Slightly annoyed now

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Arsenal is off next gameweek....

      1. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah, makes it even worse
        Three in my team

        1. WVA
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Same but I've had 4/5/6 player's out from postponements each gameweek for a while now so I'm getting used to it.

  23. Firminooooo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Only my captain Ronaldo can save me now. Looks like im out of the cups also. In Liverpool cup my opponent have Salah(C) and Mahrez(VC). In overall cup my opponent played FH. Not happy days.

      is DCL fit to start ?

    What are people doing with Ramsdale? Arsenal out for more than one gameweek?

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Moving him to someone else with better (and more) fixtures.

      1. Saka Rice
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Best options?

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Lloris, but I like Reguilon and not sure on the double up

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

          DDG?

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

      I believe we are going to need two starting goalkeepers. Foster to Sanchez before checking fixtures is my first hunch.

      1. HonestBlatter
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        When is Foster back?

        1. ZimZalabim
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          mid jan

    3. HonestBlatter
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Sanchez seems to be in the zone now

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

      Looking at DDG and Lloris myself.

    5. ZimZalabim
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      not decided considering a second keeper for foster and build for 22 BB

      1. Eh, just one more thing ...
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Same. Keeping Ramsdale and Foster out and DDG in me thinks ..

  28. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Was soooo close to putting in Lucas Moura and Jorginho earlier, so annoying they both hauled

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      No you weren't

      1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        I was, I just didn’t post it, I quickly established Jorginho has had his penalty quota for the season and offers nothing else, and with Lucas too many eggs in one basket with Kane and Son too.
        Oh well, will swing the other way next time.

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

          There are not too many eggs in same basket if the fixture is certain to be ON. Times have changed. Old rules are not valid.

          1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            It’s more a case of knowing what Spurs will turn up, City/Arsenal mids all viable alternatives.

    2. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Outrageous lies. You should join the Conservative party.

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

        For some that is impossible.

      2. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Lol, had I put them in they would have blanked or subbed on 40 mins or something anyway

    3. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years

      Bullcrap

      1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
        • 7 Years

        Is that Kane in your avatar?

  29. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    FPL live showing Ronaldo as a differential?! Does it not consider FH teams?

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I'm guessing he's your captain if it is

      1. FCSB
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Yep, even so I’d expect most FH captained him ?!

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah but if captained and less than 125 EO is still technically a differential (I think)

        2. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          FH isn't that high a percentage & he's not that highly owned.

          1. FCSB
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Ok cool, hoping he can help lessen the damage done

    2. ZimZalabim
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      hes 100% EO

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

        104.61% in top 10k to be exact.

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

          So for us who have him (as C) he is like a good differential.
