FanTeam winner’s tips for the Second Chance half-season Fantasy game


Sponsored by Fanteam


Top FanTeam tips from 2020/21 champion and €200k winner Josh Wooldridge

Hello all once again.

In my latest piece, I am going to go over Fanteam’s brand new, free-to-play Second-Half game, which has a whopping £20,000 for the lucky winner! It kicks off in Gameweek 22 and in this I’m going to take a look at the rules, some key factors to consider and players to think about at this early stage.

For a full recap of how to play, click the below link:

AFCON

By the time this tournament kicks off, the African Cup of Nations will be in full flow, and thus a few of our key players will be missing. Some of these players include Sadio Mane, Riyad Mahrez, Edouard Mendy and of course, Mohamed Salah. They will be missing at least Gameweeks 22 and 23, and so in the majority of cases, these players won’t be in my thoughts when selecting my initial squad. 

However, this could be a crucial use case for the ‘safety net’.

The safety net feature has been deployed with great success in the Champions League group games, and is a factor again here. What the safety net means is that if your player doesn’t start a fixture, he is auto-subbed out for a cheaper player from the same team. Most relevant here, if Salah and Mane don’t play for example, and you pick them, they will autosub out for Diogo Jota. Similarly with Mahrez, If you picked him whilst he’s on AFCON duty, you would get one of Phil Foden, Ilkay Gundogan or Jack Grealish on, depending on who Pep Guardiola decided to select that week! However, it is important to note this autosub rule does not also transfer the armband to your autosub – this would still go to your vice-captain. So do not captain Salah whilst he is at AFCON, thinking you will get Jota…

UNLIMITED TRANSFERS

Another key factor in this tournament, which I believe is a first of its kind, is that you can roll unlimited transfers. You also get a Wildcard, which is far less unexpected, but these two things together could lead to a possibly interesting strategy. With the help of the safety net, provided you pick players who have good safety nets, it feels like it would be easy to roll several weeks in succession. The result of this could be that you effectively get to play two or three Wildcards across the 17 Gameweeks, if you identify some key weeks with big fixture shifts. It will require you to make very solid selections in your Gameweek 22 teams, but if done well, I think this has the potential to be a winning formula.

AVOID CHELSEA

A team to avoid from the off will undoubtedly be Chelsea. This is absolutely nothing to do with their ability, as they are generally great assets, but more their fixture run that starts when this game does. They have Manchester City and Spurs in Gameweeks 22 and 23, followed by two blanks caused by the Club World Cup in Gameweeks 24 and 25 (assuming this tournament goes ahead!). For this four-week block, I will almost certainly have no Chelsea assets, but I will be sure to get some in Gameweek 26 when they have some wonderful fixtures.

I touched on it earlier, but the very best chance of rolling transfers is to pick players who have solid safety nets. This means that even if one of your starting XI gets injured, you have someone to fall back on. Building on this, it means you don’t necessarily have to use a transfer on that slot in your team, especially if it is a short-term injury or suspension. The only thing I must re-iterate is do not put your captain or vice-captain on someone who is going to be auto-subbed out, as the captaincy will not move to the subbed in player.

PLAYER SELECTION

Now for a section on players I would pick. Liverpool have a great run of fixtures from Gameweek 22, and so I would have at least two or three of their assets. Jota and Trent Alexander-Arnold both look very appealing to me for this run, even though they will be without Salah and Mane.

Manchester United are a similar story although have middling form. I was initially tempted to take a punt on Marcus Rashford, as he has a safety net of Jaden Sancho and Mason Greenwood in the event that he doesn’t play, but the Red Devils aren’t exactly putting in a convincing audition.

Manchester City have a tricky game in Gameweek 22 with the visit of Chelsea but after that their fixtures are great, and they are somewhat fixture-proof in any case. Joao Cancelo is a great play, and has extra insurance in this game when he occasionally gets a rest. The safety net also enables us to take a punt on one of their midfielders, knowing we will get one of their attacking assets guaranteed. 

As for the cheaper teams, I like the fixtures of Aston Villa, Everton, Leeds and Newcastle United. Everton are a ‘wait and see’ for me in terms of picking a favourite asset at the time of writing, but from the other teams, Ollie Watkins (if fit) and Raphinha all appeal to me, and would be in consideration if I was submitting my squad today. They are very much talismans for their respective clubs and have the ability to score decent points. 

ENTER SOONER RATHER THAN LATER

On a final note, I would advise to submit your teams sooner rather than later. Whilst Fanteam have done an excellent job of ensuring people can’t make £20m extra budget by buying and selling players each week before Gameweek 22, there is still an advantage to be had by entering the tournament early.

If any player you wish to include in your Gameweek 22 squad goes up between now and the beginning of the tournament, then you will keep this as sell-on value from Gameweek 23 onwards. Whilst this is only a small advantage, it essentially means your budget will likely stretch further now than it would if you log in immediately before Gameweek 22.

Good luck everybody and I hope someone reading this is the lucky one who can get their hands on £20,000, which is simply amazing for a free-to-play fantasy football tournament!

    Ronaldo owners keeping or selling?

    1. Philosopher's Stones
      • 3 Years

      FH in 22 if DGWs take place, then off he pops.

      1. LC1
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        This

    2. tbos83
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Keeping while Salah's away

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

      Sold already.

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

      Kane!

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

        Almost as disappointing

      2. Zimo
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Can't get more than 6 points if his life depended on it. Get Marcal for 4.2. He'll keep up with him.

    5. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Will be ousting once Salah is back

    6. Pep bites Kun
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      He's the cash cow for Salah. If I could've got a convincing MU attacking player for less, I would have. Keeping for now, but there's better value in mf & def.

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

      Selling for Kane probably...but this requires a hit since I already have 3 Spurs.
      Could grab Dennis though, and bank until Salah returns. An age to decide, and GW22 additional fixtures not going to be known until Monday afternoon probably.

    Imagine being Ronaldo, knowing that you could've joined City then realising you've just lost to Wolves alongside Phil Jones

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

      Loyalty, huh?

      1. Philosopher's Stones
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        His preferred destination was City. After City couldn't offload a few forward players to sign Ronaldo, United offered a better salary causing him to end up at Old Trafford.

        https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.si.com/soccer/manchestercity/.amp/transfer-rumours/journalist-reveals-surprising-reason-why-cristiano-ronaldo-did-not-join-man-city

        1. fplgaruda
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          United offered him exactly, suicidal move.
          Looking for a glimpse of glory rather than longer one.
          Just remembered, they even make effort for his shirt number, when the season already started.

        2. Syd.
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          City had no interest in him whatsoever.

          His agent played a blinder and mugged United.

          Great player in his day but time catches up with everyone

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

            Well said

          2. Pep bites Kun
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            I agree

    2. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Would he have joined Man City?

      Can see Pep vetoing him signing on the basis he would disrupt squad harmony.

      1. fplgaruda
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Absolutely

    3. fplgaruda
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Why United make a move at the first place to Ronaldo, when they have such a good start with a flourishing Greenwood and Pogba earlier this season?
      Blocking the prospect

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

        They couldn’t handle him going there. Sad really.

      2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        How does Ronaldo block Pogba? Quite honestly regardless Pogba has had many years to flourish at MU and he has never done it apart from maybe during periods after managers have been sacked. They're They're off without him

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

          United’s penchant for nostalgia has burnt them rawly.

        2. fplgaruda
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Man, I said earlier this season they have a good trend before he came

          1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
            • 3 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            Pogba getting assists against extremely poor sides in Leeds and Newcastle that leave huge gaps isn't anything great. Apart from that he did nothing.

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

    Anyone know of any likely incomings transfer wise?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      New RB at Everton to join the new LB

      Tripper to Newcastle growing legs, no doubt others there too.

      Digne will leave, maybe to Chelsea who want a LWB, could also recall one.

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

        Good shout on Digne

      2. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Or Trippier to Chelsea.

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Steve Cook to Newcastle

      1. Kun Tozser
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Going to Nottm Forest

        1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Ah must have misread that one, thought it seemed a little odd anyway!

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

      January is an awful transfer window. From an FPL POV there will be no significant transfers.

      The teams in trouble will try to get a few players in to bolster their squad.

      1. Pompel
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        So Glazer's off shopping, then

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

      Mbappe to Newcastle.

    5. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Digne to west ham would be great, although given injuries I think he’ll go Chelsea.

    6. dvdguy
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      “insert player name” to Newcastle

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

    Premium forwards doing the business this season.

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

      We need you back, Eidur.

    2. King Kun Ta
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Starting this season with Ronnie Rom Kane Salah Bruno and KDB was very promising….

      What if he’s lonely and this helps in some way? Is it good to call that ‘sad’?

        This.

      Unrelated to whatever this is about but my pages always max out at 30 comments, maybe I altered my settings and forgot but feel like it has always been that way for me

      1. Bounce

        Looks like 30 per page on the articles and 20 per page on profiles.

    3. Stamford B
      • 2 Years

      You don’t get to call people sad for posting on a fantasy football site just because they’ve posted more than you. If your life is so much more amazing than everyone else here then do us all a favour and go and live it.

    4. GreennRed

      Congratulations on learning how to count.

      1. Rains of Castamere

        and learning how to be a count.

      It's absolutely pathetic. He tries to troll people when in reality, he's only embarrassing himself more with every comment.

      Fair to say this hasn’t gone down as well as you expected. Massive irony in you calling Rainer sad. 🙄

      We love to have Rainer here and not you.

      Rainer posts during games so he wont see this. Which just adds to how pathetic it is

        Can someone explain what was the removed comment?

  7. WVA

    DDG and Ronaldo rounding off another wonderful gameweek lol it was nothing to do with Ole bless him!

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      It was partly to do with OGS.

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

        More the players, they were better with him!

    2. fplgaruda
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Ole in! Players out!

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

        Ole can still score goals. Better than the fraud Ronaldo.

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

      Everything to do with Ole ; he had years with this rabble and helped bring Ronaldo back in which is making everything worse. Ralf seemingly is handcuffed into picking him rather than play 4-3-3.

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

        Not at all, Ralf hasn't come in to be told what team to pick

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

        You seriously think bringing Ronaldo back had anything to do with OGS?

        Pure commercial decision driven by Fergie, Ferdinand, the yawn of 92 etc, they could not allow him to go to City.

        1. Pep bites Kun
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Bad commercial decision, IF that was the case, which I doubt.

          But I agree that OGS had little say in the matter.

          1. _Freddo
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            Shirt sales alone would have driven it, I guess no one expected it to turn out this bad.

            1. Pep bites Kun
              • 7 Years
              2 years, 2 months ago

              Agree. My point was that, I reckon it had little to do with a sale to City, which Ron's agent implied.

              It was a bad buy. MU have employed some great ballers in the last few years, few of whom have worked out. The problem is in the system. Which part, I don't know, but it would seem to be systemic.

              1. _Freddo
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 14 Years
                2 years, 2 months ago

                Thing is, they were looking half decent & could have easily kicked on, the three marquee signings have set them back.

                1. Pep bites Kun
                  • 7 Years
                  2 years, 2 months ago

                  Maybe we're being impatient? Expecting more with the fixtures? I've seen these guys play and deliver. I think Ralf has pedigree.

                  In the same vein, I prefer to see the younger signings

                2. Pep bites Kun
                  • 7 Years
                  2 years, 2 months ago

                  Just coming back on this one .. I don't know the answer

                  I think MU are trying to play to an identity. Football has changed and so have the attitudes of players. I don't think MU can get back/to the Buzby/Ferguson playing persona & attitude. They once mostly employed working-class guys with ambition, gumption & attitude. The 'will to win' at all costs, isn't really showing. In fact, I'd say it's sadly lacking. Where past Utd might win at 90+; they are losing from start to finish. There's a definite lack of confidence & belief. Zero swagger.

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

      It's obvious Ronnie sucked OGS off to land the transfer and now they are not happy because they don't get the group hug in the shower s every night

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

        😆

  8. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Need West Ham to absolutely destroy Norwich 5-0

    1. Alexis Nonsense
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Diop hattrick and Fornals assists!

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

      Same. Need some points soon to keep my spirit up.

    3. Esalman
      • 14 Years

      Some coufal point would be nice.

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

      In true fpl spirit it either end up 1-0 (Rice goal Soucek assist) or will get called off.

    5. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      4-0

  9. Zimo
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    We already have our 4th position locked in imo. Arsenal gonna be back in Champions League.

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

      Still plenty of time to mess it up in true Gunners style.

    2. SINGH

      Not yet but fingers crossed. Although I feel we will miss out come the final run in to the season unless we bring in a solid striker in Jan.

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

      No no no, we don’t yet. If Spurs beat us then the whole outlook will change.

      Might depend on their result with spurs

      4th spot is hotly contested. Too many similarly phased teams vying for it. Something will have to change for the 4th to become clear

    6. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Chelsea will drop out, Arsenal and Spurs to finish 3rd and 4th

    Shaw clearly inspired by Lukaku in that post-match interview..

    1. asr
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Quite clear to me not happy with some individuals in the dressing room, and perhaps even the manager who keeps playing them

  12. rozzo
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    United were always a strange team for me, even under Fergie.

    Genuinely world class players with a few mediocre midtable level players who always seemed to raise their game.

    For years it seemed Everton and Sunderland were the destination for most of their lower level players to go to.

    Winning the league for United one season, fighting relegation for Sunderland the next.

    Yet it never gets mentioned that most of their players are crap by the media or pundits.

    If they never called out Wes Brown or Antonio Valencia they aren't going to call out Maguire and Rashford are they.

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

      Paul Ince did.

      Also the Luke Shaw interview was quite stark.

      Lacking togetherness, need more ideas from the manager. Don't have the commitment required or motivation on the pitch.

    2. The Train Driver
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      SAF rarely bought stars like we do at Man Utd today. He found talents and made them great as well as making mediocre players good team players. He was feared and respected by all, if not, you either lost the privilege to play for the badge or got a shoe in your face.

      1. Sterling Malory
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Are you joking, he spent a fortune on ready made talent.

        RVP, RVN, Stam, Veron, Rio, Tevez, Berbatov, Cantona to name just a few.

        Even players like Rooney and Ronaldo who he massively helped develop were pricey and had star quality.

        1. The Train Driver
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          I said he rarely bought stars, class of 92 and many others. The stars he bought he developed in a proper way (bar Veron) unlike post SAF where none of them have lived up to their quality.

  13. OverTinker
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    FH or WC?? Have Ronaldo, Two Chelsea def, DDG and No Jota.

  14. The Train Driver
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    If that last shot was saved by DDG he would have been on 12 points rather than 3. The margins of FPL...

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years

      11

  15. Feanor
    • 14 Years

    I was gonna get Saiss in, but then when the double got announced I went with Keane. Classic DGW folly.

    1. The Train Driver
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Why Saiss? Going to AFCON.

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Good that you didn’t- this was Saïss’s last game before going to AFCON

      1. Feanor
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Had no idea he was going. Save me another transfer, then.

        Coady would have been the better option.

  16. OverTinker

    anyone wildcarding here this GW?

  18. chaser123

    Which scores more:
    A) Bowen + Broja + 5
    B) Antonio x2 + Diop + Pickford

  19. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Is this Manchester United squad the second most expensive ever, after Manchester City?

    1. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I think so. Though in the last 10 years they’ve spent more than City, and anyone else. But the vast majority of signings for City have been great buys, whereas that’s the opposite for United.

    2. Top Dog
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Not sure there is much in it between City, Utd and Chelsea.

      When you consider - Pogba, Sancho, Lukaku, AWB, Maguire, Diallo, Van De Beek, Fred. Huge difference in outcomes

  20. Danstoke82
    • 9 Years

    Feel I went for the wrong keeper, would anyone do 1FT for;

    DDG > Sa?

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

      I was debating these two and went for DDG due to the two home games. Don’t you love it

      Since I’m likely to FH22 I’ll delay this for a while

    2. OverTinker
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Not right now

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

      Hindsight speaking? They had pretty similar xGA, DdG was just unlucky. Moutinho was lucky to get that chance and 9 times out of 10 it probably wouldn't go in.

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

    1 FT, 1.9 ITB

    Sá, Steer
    TAA, Cancelo, Rudiger, Alonso, Livramento
    Son, Bilva, Foden, Jota, Bowen
    Antonio, Watkins, King

    WC?

  22. Ruinenlust

  23. Gazwaz80

    Hello everybody,
    Which teams definitely maybe probably won’t have doubles in 22?

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

      All of them

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

        Anything can happen

        1. Gazwaz80
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Hmm, Confutious says “if man keeps his feet firmly on the ground, he has problem putting his trousers on”…

          1. Pep bites Kun
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            If a man's head is always in the clouds, how can he be grounded?

            I'm thinking this is more aimed at sparkies ..

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

            That will help with the deadline

  24. putana
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    How long will it take for people to realize ronaldo is awful.

    does nothing for 90 minutes, but will score a tap in or penalty and makes people forget about the rest of the game

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

      Its quite a skill he has perfected there

    2. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Pretty naive point of view

      1. Pep bites Kun
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Hmm, he is rather expensive ..

      2. putana
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        in what way. Offers very little in every other aspect, so because he scores once in a while he should be given a pass?

        His scoring in the league this season isn't great either, so he isn't even giving that

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

      That generally gets 9 points so would take that if was more frequent

    4. Hairy Potter
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Romario, and many other strikers, made a career out of doing that.

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

      ‘Awful’ is a bit harsh. We’d take him at Fleetwood.

    6. NorCal Villan
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Pretty damn expensive for 5.125 points per game

      Use that as you will

  25. Firmino
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    I think the decision to keep Salah and not go for Ronaldo was the right one. Just bad luck it didn't pay off.

    1. Pep bites Kun
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I disagree, based on the blanks & fixtures. It didn't gain as much as I thought. Ron wasn't a good choice so far, but spreading the money to other players has worked.

      1. Firmino
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Well Ron and Salah are priced about same. Just saying Salah deserved more points from last two and Ronaldo less.

  26. MikeS
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Bench Ronaldo or the mighty Martinelli next week?

    Ronaldo seems obvious choice, martinelli will destroy spurs

  27. KieranKA
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    I know GW21 isn't over yet, but who should be on my watchlist for next GW? I'm looking at some combination of Son (for Salah), Raphinha (for Bernardo) and Kane/Ronaldo (for Watkins) for now. Any other players I should be thinking of?

    3.5 itb, 1 ft
    Sánchez // Foster
    Trent Cancelo Reguilón Coufal // Livramento
    Salah Jota Bernardo Bowen // Brownhill
    Antonio King // Watkins

    1. redsallstars
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years

      Depends on double gameweek fixtures. Maddison will be in my team if leicester get Norwich in gameweek 22 with burnley

  28. FPL_Crisis

    Anyone know if Livra expected to play vs BRE?
    Would like to avoid ESR one pointer, possibly double it to 2 haha

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

      Same for me.

      Will get Rudiger's one pointer

  29. FFFoxy

    Can someone explain to me why McGinn is suspended for United game (5 yellows) but Shaw and Mctominay aren’t flagged? Just hasn’t updated? Or fa cup game counts domestically also (in which case McGinn should be available?)

    1. CROWLEY NOT CRAWLEY
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Shaw is suspended, just not flagged.

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Not updated yet. 5YC ban is for league games only

  30. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years

    That moment you see a rival’s team with a midfield of McAllister, Gordon, Lanzini and Mourinho and you laugh initially….
