INJURIES AND BANS

FPL team news: Injury updates ahead of EFL Cup Quarter Finals

Takehiro Tomiyasu (£4.7m) missed out for Arsenal today with a calf injury, despite featuring against Liverpool on Thursday, and has subsequently been pulled out of international duty with Japan.

“Well, Tomiyasu had an injury and we didn’t have anybody to play in that position against Liverpool. He really wanted to push, he tried and he played the 90 minutes, and he felt it again. So, he will be out for a couple of weeks. Right now, he needs to recover, his only focus has to be to have the best possible treatment. To look after himself, and try to be available for us as quickly as he can. He will be out for a few weeks.” – Mikel Arteta on Takehiro Tomiyasu’s absence

Elsewhere, Sean Dyche suggested Charlie Taylor (£4.4m) could be fit for Watford, in the second match of Burnley’s Double Gameweek.

“I would hope so but you can never know so we will see how the next four or five days go. He’s got a knock on his foot in a training game. That cost him today and we will see how that settles down.” – Sean Dyche on if Charlie Taylor will be fit for Watford

However, there was no mention of an injury to fellow full-back Matthew Lowton (£4.4m), who was an unused substitute at the Emirates, though Sean Dyche did suggest after the match that we’d be seeing more of his replacement, Connor Roberts (£4.5m), in the future.

“Connor has done well, he’s only had 60 minutes of an Under-23 game in weeks but he is a very fit lad. We’ve got to look at what we’re doing as staff. What can activate a change and give you something different. Connor was one of them, we have to start using him and looking at him.

We want that demand from the group. Bardo (Bardsley) is right in the hat as well but he’d only trained for a day this week because he’d had an injection in his lower back.” – Sean Dyche

On the suspension front, Burnley will be without Josh Brownhill (£4.3m) against Watford, after he received his fifth booking of the campaign on Sunday.

GAMEWEEK 23 TALKING POINTS

ALONSO DROPPED AS TUCHEL OPTS FOR BACK FOUR

Thomas Tuchel dropped Marcos Alonso (£5.7m) for Chelsea’s 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, with the Spaniards late cameo blocking bench points for many of his FPL owners.

Discussing his decision to switch to a 4-1-4-1 formation, the German tactician said:

“Trevoh (Chalobah) had only one training session and Andreas Christensen, a key player, was not available. For a back-three, you need three central defenders and two wings-backs.

We thought today that we could play in a 4-1-4-1 to cause them problems. The deal did well and it gives us another option so well done.”

The system change allowed the Blues’ to dominate the midfield battle against Antonio Conte’s narrow 4-4-2, with Hakim Ziyech (£7.3m) in particular thriving in the new set-up and scoring again, whilst also registerting five shots, a match-leading total.

“It was one of his best matches today because he was very reliable. It was also maybe his best position to be on the wing. We had the wide position on the right-wing, that position does not normally exist in that particular manner when we play 3-4-3, it is more of a wing-back. 

Maybe we can think about doing this. It was good because it gave him the opportunity to take risks where it was possible to take risks. He was very reliable on the ball in moments where it is necessary. 

The work rate was always outstanding. You can always rely on him on work rate and counter-pressing. So yes, well done and he needs to keep on going like everyone else.” – Thomas Tuchel on Hakim Ziyech

LIVERPOOL DOMINATE ASSIST CHARTS

In the absence of Liverpool’s Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) representatives, the Reds’ have now managed back-to-back wins over Brentford and Crystal Palace, scoring six and conceding just one.

Sunday’s performance at Selhurst Park was far from perfect, after starting brightly but becoming sloppy as the match wore on. However, Alisson (£6.0m) and Andrew Robertson (£7.1m) were the standout performers, with the latter registering his seventh and eighth assists of the campaign so far.

MOST FPL ASSISTS 2021/22:
Bowen12
Alexander-Arnold, Salah10
Cancelo, Robertson8

As for Liverpool, they can now look forward to the returns of Mohamed Salah (£12.7m), Sadio Mane (£11.7m) and Naby Keita (£5.0m), though it is worth noting that Liverpool’s Gameweek 24 clash against Leicester City is just four days after the AFCON final, with Egypt, Senegal and Guinea all in knockout action this week.

“You are right that we did it without them, but that made it so intense. You have to create, if you want, kind of a new football because if you don’t have that maximum speed on the wing, which obviously Sadio and Mo have, if you don’t have that all of a sudden you have to change how you get there in these areas. And the boys did really well. Ox again on the scoresheet, massive one. Diogo, not to stop more or less in a lot of situations. Bobby’s work-rate is second to none. The boys really put a proper shift in and I’m more than pleased about that.” – Jurgen Klopp on remaining unbeaten without Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Naby Keita

EDOUARD’S HOME FORM

Despite Crystal Palace having won only one of their last four home league games, Odsonne Edouard (£6.4m) continues to offer real value.

The former Celtic man has now produced an impressive three goals and four assists during that time, averaging nine points per match.

EDOUARD – LAST FOUR HOME MATCHES:
MetricTotalRank v other Premier League players
Goals34th=
Assists41st=
Shots174th=
Shots in the box162nd
Big chances81st=
xG4.092nd

Elsewhere, goalkeeper Vicente Guaita (£4.6m) returned in goal, replacing Jack Butland (£4.4m), ahead of a nice run of fixtures for the Eagles’, which sees them take on Norwich City (a), Brentford (a) and Burnley (h) in their next four.

JUSTIN RETURNS TO STARTING XI

After featuring as a second-half substitute against Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday, James Justin (£4.9m) made his first Leicester City start in nearly a year against Brighton and Hove Albion.

Lining-up on the right of a back-four, the 23-year-old featured for the full-90 minutes and largely impressed, with several surging runs into the opposition box.

Notably, amongst team-mates, only Ademola Lookman (£6.0m), James Maddison (£7.0m) and Youri Tielemans (£6.4m) received more passes in the final-third, whilst he also created two chances.

“We’re so glad to have him back, he was great. You can see in the first-half, when he was playing as that right-sided full-back, getting forward, his running was incredible. Then, he played as a third centre-half in the second half and was fantastic. He did great to get through the game.” – Brendan Rodgers on James Justin

Elsewhere, Patson Daka (£7.1m) continued his fine form with another goal, and now has five attacking returns (three goals, two assists) in his last four Premier League appearances. However, with games against Liverpool (a), West Ham United (h) and Wolverhampton Wanderers (a) up next, followed by a blank in Gameweek 27, it’s debatable just how much Fantasy attention he’ll be afforded, especially with Jamie Vardy (£10.3m) due back in March.

Meanwhile, at Brighton, Tariq Lamptey (£4.5m) is becoming increasingly difficult to own after another benching, whilst Lewis Dunk (£4.8m) featured as a substitute after a long spell on the sidelines.

DOUBLE-DIGITS FOR POPE AS BURNLEY SHOW RESILIENT SIDE

A resilient defensive showing from Burnley got their Double Gameweek off to a solid start on Sunday, as they held Arsenal to a goalless draw at the Emirates.

After a dismal defeat at Leeds United in their last Premier League game, back in Gameweek 21, the Clarets were much-improved, and despite lacking in forward areas, their defensive showing offered encouragement.

James Tarkowski (£4.9m) performed well at the back and helped himself to a couple of bonus points, but it was Nick Pope (£5.4m) who hit double-digits, with five saves and maximum bonus taking him to 10 FPL points. The Burnley stopper is certainly on the pricier side, but given how many games Burnley have in hand over others, he might just be worth a look.

It is a building block and we want to move in the right direction. We felt it was appropriate to get back to the basics, especially against teams like this when you are going to have to defend well and do it from a good shape. We worked hard and I was pleased with that. The challenge all season has been finding the big moments and we had three or four when we were in very good positions and couldn’t find the right pass or run. But you need a building block and that is another one. It gives us a nice platform to build on, the mentality today was spot on.” – Sean Dyche

Arsenal completely dominated at the Emirates, ending the match with 76% possession and 20 goal attempts, but they were blunt in attack and resorted to throwing in crosses against an organised Clarets’ outfit. As a result, it’s now four games without a goal in all competitions, with a busy schedule plus Covid and injuries clearly taking its toll on the squad.

We didn’t create that quality we needed. We are at the moment depleted and the lads have played a lot of minutes, I don’t want to make any excuses. We have time to regroup now.” – Mikel Arteta

    What a terrible GW, at least I have another match for my captain, oh wait....

    1. Make Arrows Green Again
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Only halftime. Anything can happen :')

  2. Make Arrows Green Again

    Things we learned: DGWs are a vile trap.

    Side note: I cannot WAIT for the next DGW.

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

      Latter says you didn’t actually learn the former {lol}

      1. Mighty Banana
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Perhaps they're looking forward to watch others fail 😉

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

          Excellent point, I am surprised I didn't see it through that lens 😎

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

    Thinking of a back line with Digne, Laporte, Cancelo, Robertson and Alex-Arnold

    Midfield of Ramsay, Salah, KDB, Bowen and Son

    Spend very little on front 3 e.g. Broja, Idah and Gelhardt
    Cheap goalies Foster and Gunn

    What do you think?

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

      I'm a fan of v.big at the back, but you need at least two regular playing forwards (even if one sits on the bench), otherwise you'll hit regular blanks for no shows. Can't play 5-5-0

    2. Free tips
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Maybe upgrade one striker as you will always need to play one, Watkins possibly

    3. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Nah, not a good idea imo

    4. Yankee Toffee
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      The majority of points are now and have always been in the midfield

      1. polis
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        TAA and Cancelo would probably disagree here.

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

      Not for me.

      I'm okay with 4 strong atb but not 5.

      TAA, Cancelo, Laporte, Digne, Ait-Nouri something like that. Could save a bit more if you're cheap and go Amartey.

  4. 2999 - Lady of Legend
    • 3 Years

    Just logged in to find that White got the 2 bonuses after all 🙂 a nice unexpected surprise!

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

      Same here. 37 pts all out. Just have to wait an age to see what King and Foster do in their next game for others.

  5. Sterling Archer
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    No good having to wait 2 weeks for captain kings 2 pointer

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Cant believe its so far away and what a terrible fixture. We will probably wait another 11 days only for it get postponed.
      At least you have King, theres hope. I have Foster and Dennis, or a Sa 1 pointer.

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

      No idea why this fixture wasn’t tacked on the start of next gameweek. Really poor decision from FPL I think.

  6. Free tips
    • 2 Years

    Do we expect salah back gw24 ?

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

    2. avfc82
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      He'll be back, but the AFCON final/3rd place playoff is four days before Liverpool v Leicester, so ideally you want Egypt out before the semi's, just to be sure.

      1. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        they will be

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

        Consider us out already 😉

  7. Kellz86
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Digne in? Feels like a 0 incoming after missing his haul.

    Been burned oh so many times by him…

    1. Jimbo-Jones
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Great fixtures. Think it’s worth it for the CS potential alone, let alone how far forward he’s getting.

    2. Kellz86
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Want to do a FT now to avoid Alonso drops and Digne rises, but also burned on that in covid times.

      Damned if you do damned if you don’t I guess

    3. avfc82
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I'm pretty excited about his prospects under Gerrard, should do really well.

    4. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I dont think a Villa defender is the right choice, but an attacker or 2 is ok (if they have a double on the horizon). Ramsey and Buendia something liek that, or Coutinho.
      Surely a fit Reg is a better pick then Digne? Or even Tierney perhaps

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

        Reguilon is not worth anything if he's not playing.

    5. BERGKOP
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Worth the risk at his price.

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

      Zero? C’mon, don’t sell him short—he’s already had three -1 scores

  8. Jimbo-Jones
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Team all have good fixtures next week.
    2ft and 1.3itb.
    Thinking Reguilon > Laporte, but any other ideas?

    Would even be tempted by BB but will probably keep it for DGW.

    DDG
    TAA Cancelo Reguilon Digne
    Salah Foden Jota Bowen
    Antonio Watkins

    Guaita Dawson Dennis Luiz

    1. Oneman
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I've got similar team and am thinking of BB as well. I think having all players fit is rare so if mine are then I'll go with it as come dgws you could well have injuries or bans to deal with

    2. polis
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Would hold the BB

      Guatia could get benched again, Watford woefully out of form, Luiz is a pretty bailed on 2/3 points.

  9. Sterling Archer
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Salah on 75% on fplstatistics.co.uk, have the exact money but a transfer this early is risky af!

    1. Jimbo-Jones
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      You’ll know whether Egypt have progressed long before he rises.

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

      -75 % actually so long way to go

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

    Rudi and Sanchez to DDG and Digne for free? Not yet clearly, but just thinking ahead.

    1. Jimbo-Jones
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Good fixtures for Sanchez. Do you have a second keeper?
      Rudiger to Digne looks good.

      1. Malkmus
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers. No second keeper (Steele) unfortunately. Utd have decent fixtures next 4 as well and 5.2 for ddg is decent value

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

          Malkmus: Pavement fan?

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

      I'm doing the Sanchez > DDG move when the time comes.
      For you, the Rudi > Digne move is also good for free.

    3. BERGKOP
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I'd keep Sanchez

  11. Dthinger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    I know we all had a terrible gameweek, but let me just commiserate by adding my story:

    This week, I did Livramento and Salah out for KDB and Lowton (-4). I didn't really mean to start Bachmann (because of Foster) but I did. My original plan was to just bring in Robertson, but the number of doubles on the way for Burnley swayed me. I captained Dennis, of course, and the rest of my team got nothing but appearance points...well, Smith-Rowe at least got one point for a clean sheet, so there's that. If the rest of this week follows suit, I imagine Foster will start the second match of Watford's double, leaving me with 1 point from Bachmann rather than Sanchez's 4pts on my bench. yay.

  12. Dthinger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    To Get Salah back...does Ronaldo to Broja, and Gray to Salah for a hit make sense?

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

      Yes good moves - that’s my route to Salah also

      1. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        thanks

    2. BERGKOP
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Couldn't ask for better.

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

        Anything “Ronaldo out, Salah in” is a good move. Win/win

  13. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    I will have 10 players @ home next GW

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

      Had not noticed until you mentioned it, but so have I. Only Saka away, and it’s our last dance together (at least until GW 28 at earliest)

    Why was Reguilon a sub tonight? Any info?

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

      It was so I could get the 2 Dawson points off my bench

  15. Casual Player

    27 and done. Every week is now like getting rabbit punched.

    1. polis
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Long way to go

  16. FPL Brains
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Which combination would you go for folks?

    1) Gallagher + Broja
    2) Edouard + Gordon

    1. polis
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      1 for me

    2. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years

      1 by a mile

    3. BERGKOP
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      1

  17. Old Bull
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Really annoyed I left Digne on the bench for ASM. Now the world and his dog are going to get him.

    1. polis
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      It happens.

      ASM super unlucky not to return.

      Be thankful you have Digne moving forward, decent fixtures coming.

      1. Old Bull
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        I agree that the prospects are good, but effectively I’ve missed out on a one week differential. Still, need to find the next one now.

        1. polis
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Semi fair point but can't imagine he'll reach 9% by next GW so still a fair differential. A heap of players hit 20/30%+ at this stage.

  18. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    I'm thinking GW 28 may be a better time to WC then GW 31 as many are suggesting . Liverpool and City assets are season keepers but the other possible players for the WC all seem to have good fixture runs around GW 28. Am I missing something?

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

      We have no idea what's gonna happen fixture wise. Just gotta try and adapt as much as possible.

      I have a rotating bench each week I think of Maddison, Gray and King who have loads of games in hand and hopefully I can snag a few.

  19. George James
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Does Emerson royal come back in to the team?

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

      No idea. Not my finest purchase gotta admit. He's probably leaving my team next week. Can't afford to bin him yet while Alonso is there.

    2. polis
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I think so.

      Both he and Reg have looked pretty shattered recently, personally think they'll probably fall into more rotation.

  20. FPL Brains
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Right, wildcard triggered (couldn't risk price changes and didn't want to dwell over the next week or so).

    Last few bits were aided by some of you so thank you so much for the bits of advice.

    De Gea
    TAA - Robertson - Cancelo - Laporte - Digne
    Salah - De Bruyne - Bowen - Gallagher
    Kane

    Subs: Steer - Broja - Ramsey - Richardson

    Let's do this!

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Too heavy at the back imo. Would like a second playing keeper and also a playing 3rd striker.

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Also what are your plans for man I dgw25, FH?

        1. FPL Brains
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 12 Years

          I think the one thing this week taught me was not to focus on weaker teams just for their DGW.

          For Uniteds DGW, I'll see if United are the only one first, if they aren't and Spurs / Liverpool are also candidates, I'll likely stick. If not, Fernandes is the only player I'd want.

        Yeah I was tight on budget so had to make that move. Mind you Foster is as good as a 0 these days.

        1. Ajax Hamsterdam

          2 years, 2 months ago

          Will you basically play with 5 at the back? I'm not overly keen but it could work with these players. Gl

            I think so, both City and Liverpool double ups would need to stay, everyone has TAA and Cancelo so least this is an upside on both defences pulling cleansheets. Digne, yep if he's a better option that the outfielders.

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years

      Taa Robertson and Salah way to go on WC I agree

        I've also used my BB already hence not having a deep squad.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years

          Can't see many more cancellations coming, so quite like the small bench plan now.

            Cheers buddy

    3. KeanosMagic
      • 2 Years

      Wow, some mad team value there! I'd love that team but about 3m short!

        • 12 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers man. It was 108, down to 106.8 now though. Few players such as Trent and Cancelo have locked in profits so likely to be a little lower.

    4. Yes Ndidi
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I guess that's all your money gone?
      I think 2 deep is fine given your lack of BB and the fact that there shouldn't be as many cancellations from now on.

      1. FPL Brains

        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 12 Years

        Yeah fingers crossed, sounds like most clubs are coming out of their worst periods.

        Thanks bud, would have preferred Eduoard over Gallagher but now way to crowbar him in.

    Burnley are going to try to 0-0 their way out of relegation

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years

      Par for the course and I'd tip them to do it.

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam

      Was lowton dropped ?

  22. HD7
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Who should I sell first Rudiger or Keane?
    Was thinking Rudiger but not sure how much Keane will be on the bench

  23. jonnybhoy
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Which one out for Salah

    A) Gray
    B) Martinelli

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      A

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      B as arsenal missing a couple of games I think

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

      Probably Martinelli just due to the blanks.

    4. Mighty Banana
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      B

  24. The Mighty Whites
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    1FT, 3.1 ITB -

    DDG - Bachmann

    TAA - Cancelo - Dawson - White - Livramento

    Jota - Maddison - Gundogan - Bowen - Raphinha

    Ronaldo - Antonio - Dennis

    Maddison and Gundogan to Salah and Gordon (-4)?

  25. KeanosMagic
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Hi guys, who would you target,
    Laporte as part of a big 5 at the back, or Coutinho as part of a big 5 in midfield?

    Have Kilman and Ramsey - one of those would make way

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

      Don't sell either of the guys you have.

      There must be another priority. If not, roll FT.

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

        I’d absolutely do Kilman to LaPorte

      2. Mighty Banana
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Agree with something like this.

    2. Yes Ndidi
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I'd upgrade in defence. Ramsey is still as good an option as Coutinho at the moment, whereas Laporte is a fair improvement on Kilman.

  26. OneDennisBergkamp

    my cup opponent is rank 4m and has 51pts lol, wtf, Moutinho in midfield

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Magic of the cup

    2. Wılly
      • 10 Years

      He'll be top 10k soon with those differentials

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

    DDG
    TAA Cancelo Alonso White Bavies
    Jota Maddison Bowen Bernardo Gilmour
    Antonio DCL King

    10.2m ITB!

    Is Gilmour to Salah the move to make or is there anything else?

    Early Rough with the Smooth, Gameweek 23.

    How's your Gameweek going?

    There's still one match to go, but not till the weekend after next, so here's your chance to share your tales of joy and woe now before we forget how the first ten went.

    (I don't expect too many tales of joy this time!)

    1. Mighty Banana
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      40, with King (c) to go.

      My main rival has struggled this week for 24, helped by a Dennis (c) so it's joy here!

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

      46 all out, no hits
      Kdb armband decent (in comparison to most). White DDG Jota returns
      Dennis VC

    3. Yes Ndidi
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      24 with just Dennis (C) to.........oh, hang on.
      Only Jota managed more than the points for turning up

      1. Original Sin
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Will Dennis play next game or is he banned?

        1. Yes Ndidi
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Red card = misses next PL game

      2. waldo666
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Exact same score, exact same captain situation 🙁

    4. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Smooth would be KDB in, less smooth that just before deadline, I moved him down to VC due to DGW FOMO which meant Dennis in and C, so that went well. Even better that Edouard stayed on the bench due to the aforementioned hit. Rough… but don’t worry, I was very clever and benched DDG for Foster. Hits are bad…

    5. Hits from the Bong
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      29. Rough was Dennis Captain and almost everything else, except Jota, Ramsdale and some juicy Manquillo points off the bench for Reguilon. I've already bought Salah and stuck the armband on him. Feels great

    6. pstokes2010
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      48 with King(c) to go. 5 green arrows in a row.

    7. Michu at DeGea Ba
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Tried to ignore DGW hype going for a "quality over quantity" approach.

      Key highlights - bringing in Digne looking forward to good fixture run, Ramsdale clean sheet and bonus and De Bruyne (c). Even managed a jammy 6pts from Mount who has been a Salah placeholder for weeks.

      59 pts with King still to play with most rivals Dennis (c). Up to 18k from ~50k.

    8. outernational
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Rough: Dennis captain
      Smooth: Laporte & Ramsdale

      34 all out with no hits. Expecting a small red arrow once the last fixture is played.

    9. jia you
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Rough: Robertson(12) last week and Digne(12) this week benched due to DGW fever.
      Smooth: Avoided Dennis, 40 with Foster, King and Pedro(C) to go.

      1. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Pedro captain could be incredible for you!

    10. sulldaddy
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      41 and done. no hits. Kane was a let down and KDB capped was a savior. thinking Kane goes out to prep for bringing back Salah. Fun times in FPL!

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

      Didn’t bring in any Watford assets instead got in Digne. Benched him over Tomiyasu who didn’t start and captain lost CS points in first 10 mins.

      Ended at 44 points with a 20k rank jump to 60k with only King left to go

    12. MissouriMarten
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Pretty much all rough:
      Dennis©, only Jota, De Gea and White returned. Burnley got a rare clean sheet but Lowton missed out. 3 red arrows in the last 5, falling from 80k to 160 and losing heart.

    13. 2999 - Lady of Legend
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      36, out of 2 cups. Still in overall cup unless King hauls 12 or more.

    14. King Carlos
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Smooth: no
      Rough: yes

    15. Peteski29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      40(-4) with King(C) still to go and up into the top 1k for the first time ever.

      Smooth brought in Laporte for James.

      Rough brought in Dennis for a hit

    16. mojoindojo
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Smooth: KDB in. Coufal 7 pointer coming in from Bench.

      Rough: Dennis C. 33 all out.

    17. Lemongrab
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Smooth transfers. Took a -4 to do
      Emerson (0) to Digne (12)
      DCL (1) to King (2+?)

      Captained King, would have been Dennis if I'd not brought him in. If I'd not brought in Digne I would have played Diop for 0.

    18. seanmcging
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Smooth - KDB captain & Laporte goal
      Rough - Ramsdale & Digne on bench

    19. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Used my 2Fts to buy Dennis & Pedro. Switched captaincy from King to Dennis. Hit the TC button.

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

        very smooth

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

      Was all set on saving my FT, but then saw an interview with Ranieri who said Foster was back to #1 status and he woudl play because he was better (or words to that effect) so did Bachmann > Foster - aaargh

      Also Captained Dennis

      They were my only 2 DGW players so a negative 2 points for them and now I'll need to take a hit to switch Ronaldo > Salah with my 1FT so effectively a -6 for that Keeper switch.

      Only Smooth is that Ramsdale comes off the bench for 8 points.

      Total GW points including Ramsdale just 25.

    21. RedLightning
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Two ways to get Salah in after AFCON:
      (a) Cucurella->Robertson followed next week by Jota->Salah, or
      (b) Cucurella->Ait Nouri followed by Gray->Salah.
      Looks like I chose the wrong one (b)!

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

      I think most are just speechless at this point. Only a hattrick from King(C) can save my GW.

    23. Esalman
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Rough: Everyone blanked including (C)ancelo, except Laporte.

      Smooth: Went King over Dennis lol. Climbed up to 2nd in rivals mini-league.

      Neutral: Played WC, currently on 32 points with King+Foster to play (or DDG to come on). My previous week's team would've scored 35, albeit with Chelsea triple-up. Planning to BB next week because fixtures are pretty good.

    24. lugs
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Rough
      21pts, with Dennis(c), played Foster over DDG(6pts) who joined my other highest scoring player Coufal(7pts) stuck on the bench, also did Maupay to King as my only transfer, so a grand total of 0pts from my 3 Watford + now the headache of being stuck with 3 Watford 🙁

    25. Rover
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Went from Antonio ESR Sterling(c) to Pedro Sterling KdB(c) for a hit. Net swing of +8 with a game to go. Crucially, opting for Pedro while betting against Dennis (already had King) seems a fortuitous masterstroke at this point in time.

  29. Mighty Banana

    Side note, what a playoff game for anyone who watched!

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

      Typical to comeback only to lose it at the death. Rams have Bucs cover, one of the few teams to "own them"

  30. HD7
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Fab
    TAA Cancelo Rudiger
    Mount Bernardo Gray Bowen Saka
    Ronaldo King

    Steer, Keane , Livra, Scarlett

    A) Mount Rudiger to Salah Digne (-4)
    B)WC

    1. polis
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Would be tempered to WC that.

      Fab, Rudi, Mount, Bernado, King. Keane, Steer, Livra definitely and Gray, Ronaldo probably out.

      1. polis
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Also even tempted.
