Bench Boost and captaincy fails couldn’t stop Scrumper recording a 73-61 victory over alblack12 in the final of our FFS Members Cup.

Scrumper got just four extra points as a result of deploying the chip, while the captaincy of Harry Kane also fell flat.

Luckily, their opponent also backed the Spurs forward with the armband.

Scrumper’s selection of Aaron Ramsdale and a double-up on the Liverpool defence helped seal victory, despite alblack12 clawing back some of that advantage with a Vladimir Coufal clean sheet.

In the third-place play-off, a Jarrod Bowen captaincy was the main difference-maker as Mingo saw off thalliday1985, who handed the armband to Trent Alexander-Arnold. The defeated manager also took a minus four, to extend Mingo’s winning margin.

The final of our Members Cup was a humdinger, with TallestJohn almost overturning Fusen’s sizeable lead going into Thursday and falling short by a single point.

Fusen was sitting pretty after a successful Kevin De Bruyne captaincy, leading by 17 points going into the final day.

TallestJohn handed the armband to Diogo Jota, however, and his haul all but wiped that advantage out.

In the end, Fusen prevailed as Ben White and Bukayo Saka matched Aaron Ramsdale and Mohamed Salah‘s contributions, resulting in an 80-79 victory.

In our third-place play-off, the mysterious ‘Restored’ team saw off rocco10, with Gabriel Martinelli‘s red card ultimately costing the latter a victory.

    Vs

    B) Antonio vs Lei(A), Wol(H)

      A

  2. Mufc202020

    Chasing in the ML.

    Anyone think that TC Ronaldo GW25 over Salah GW26 could pay off? Or just stupid

    1. TopBinFC
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Stupid, very stupid

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Give me a minute to try and think of something more stupid.

    3. Arfaish
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I forecast pain

    4. Mufc202020
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Yeah you are all probably right

  3. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Man I’m out of the loop, I really need a holiday (to play FPL). What’s this about blank 30? What are the current chip strategies for those with everything bar wild card?

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      just 3 games active at the moment, we will probably know more by 27

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Seems a lot are going to free hit 27 but I could just bench my Liverpool players.

        1. TopBinFC
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Yeah, I will bench my Liverpool players, dont have any Arsenal so I'll save my FH for 30 and 33.

          1. Rupert The Horse
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Haha. Now there’s 33 to think about too?

        2. Holmes
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          yeah, going with 6 Ars+Liv players in 26 makes it tricky for 27

          1. Rupert The Horse
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            I’ll have 2 Arsenal. 1 will be a transfer and the other Ramsdale so all sorted.

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Hey that works fine thank you.

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      FH is your saviour

      Summary here:
      https://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2022/02/06/what-the-fa-cup-results-and-draw-mean-for-fpl-gameweeks-27-and-30/

      Villa v Arsenal
      Wolves v Leeds
      Leicester v Brentford
      ...are the only confirmed games atm. I'm prob not FHing as I have decent cover from these teams already

    4. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I am free hitting 27.

      Havbe 3 Arsenal and 3 Liverpool

      Chelsea and Arsenal will probably double in 28.

      If there are no shocks in the 5th round I am dead end in my team. and save FH until GW33 (WC 31 or 32)

      If there are a couple like Spurs, it changes the dynamic completely.

      I don't know yet if GW33 blanks will be played midweek anyway as there are no CL games.

  4. _Gunner
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Who is a better pick?

    A- Mac Allister
    B- Trossard

    1. TopBinFC
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Avoid both, so many good mid options

  5. Jimjam
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Grateful for your thoughts on final WC spots:

    De Gea (Foster)
    TAA, Cancelo, ??? (Tierney, Davies)
    Salah, Bruno, Jota, Coutinho, Bowen
    ???, Broja (Idah)

    A. Antonio, Coady
    B. Weghorst, Laporte

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I don't like Antonio pick but would be worried about City Rotation as well.

      B of the two

      1. Fodderx4
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        B

    2. Yome
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      B. Why Salah and Jota? With Salah back, Jota will be rotated with Diaz and Firminho

  6. Biggsy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Bottomed on last page: Just twenty minutes of Salah and I was clenching all the way through as a non-owner. Combined with a worry about KDB minutes, any of these appeal? I'm playing FH in 26

    A. KDB to Bruno (free)
    B. KDB + Antonio to Salah + Weghorst or other £7m striker (-4)
    C. KDB + Gray to Salah + Ramsey (-4)

    Don't have the funds to do KDB to Salah for free.

    1. Arfaish
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I feel the KDB worry on minutes is based on very little. Liverpool win their game in hand and beat city then its just 3 points and one slip up between them. I definitely wouldnt be hitting to get him out so only option is A if you think Bruno outscores him this week.

      1. Biggsy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        If i was Pep, i'd probably bench him - but then there is a reason he is in the dug out and i'm on this forum.

        You may be right, and of course we won't get anything firm at 1:30

      2. The Mentaculus
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Heres his mins in games preceding UCL this season:

        25/9 Chelsea 81mins
        28/9 PSG 90mins

        16/10 Burnley 84mins
        19/10 Bruges 64mins

        30/10 Palace 59mins
        3/11 Bruges 15mins

        4/12 Watford 23mins
        7/12 RBL 87mins

        1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Thanks. He stays in my team.

        2. Biggsy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          That's great stats, thanks.
          I mean he scored 11 at Burnley and 5 total across other three. And that Watford one doesn't fill me with any confidence...

  7. Il Capitano
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    1FT 3.7m ITB

    Guaita
    TAA Cancelo Dawson
    Jota Foden Bruno (C) Raph Bowen
    Antonio Watkins

    Foster - King Livra White

    Want to get in Salah and Son for 26, but need to free a bit of cash to do so:

    A) Dawson > Webster 25, Bruno + Foden > Son + Salah (-4) 26
    B) Foden + Dawson > Son + Webster (-4) 25, Bruno > Salah 26
    C) Save FT 25, Foden + Antonio + Bruno > Son + Weghorst + Salah (-4) 26

    Think Webster probably my best shout for a defender to bring in for 25? Gives a nice 0.4 buffer on price rises too.

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I can't see losing Foden for Son as paying off the hit this week with B, so definitely that over A

      C seems possibly best, also means you aren't stuck with Brighton defender

      1. Il Capitano
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Fair points, bit unsure on Foden's minutes but probably worth giving him one last rodeo. Wolves hardly the most obliging defence so Son isn't likely to have a field day. Will probably roll in this case then, Weghorst with the double-double seems a better buy than Webster on the face of it.

  8. Arfaish
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Are these decent moves:

    GW 25: Foden, Johnson > Bruno, Dalot
    GW 26: Bruno, Jota > Salah, Coutinho (-4)

    Does mean losing Foden against Norwich though which doesnt feel right. Could do the same with losing Jota against Burnley for Bruno but not sure that is much better?

    DDG, (£4m)
    TAA, Robbo, Cancelo, (Tierney, Johnson)
    KDB, Foden, Jota, Bowen, Maddison
    Antonio, Dennis (£4.5m)

  9. gellinmagellan

    DDG Foster
    TAA Cancelo Coufal (White Livra)
    Jota Foden Bowen Salah Trossard
    Edouard DCL Antonio

    2 FTs 0.8 ITB. What to do here? Help!

    1. Invincibles
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Save.

      1. gellinmagellan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Haha what?

        1. Invincibles
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Ahh 2 ft, Foden > Son, Ant > Wghorst.

          1. Biggsy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            I wouldn't drop Foden when Son has a fairly resolute Wolves defence to face unless there is something concrete on Foden being rested

    2. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Antonio to Weghorst and roll a FT? Not going to score much this week but two doubles to follow

      1. Invincibles
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Actually this.

        1. gellinmagellan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Thoughts on Broja over Weg? Also sell Antonio before DCL who seems to be doing absolutely nothing 😐

          1. Biggsy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            I like Broja as a pick. To be honest Ant + DCL to Broja + Weg would be a nice move

            1. gellinmagellan
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              Going to consider this, thanks! Stuck at 400k so might as well...

  10. Invincibles
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    TAA Rob Canc Digne Ait nouri
    Bruno Son Bowen Cout Olise

    WC def and mid g2g? or Olise > Raph?

  11. Jebiga
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Is Bruno better C choice than Ronaldo this gw ?
    I dont want to loose 2 FTs just like that to swithching from Ronaldo to Bruno...

    1. Invincibles
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I think Ronaldo will haul.

    2. Fodderx4
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Both good options, i wouldn't use 2 free transfers on it personally.

    3. Here is Cash, give McGinn
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      It definetly is but im in same position and im not doing it. Ronaldo might explode as well

    4. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      If you have Ronaldo, hold and Captain.

      Bruno probably a better captain, but definitely a waste to switch from Ronaldo to Bruno

  12. Here is Cash, give McGinn
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Bottomed

    Which combo better DGW26->
    A) TAA, Jota, Salah
    B) TAA, Robertson, Salah (-4)

    Who is best defender to bring in DGW26-> apart Liverpool?

    1. Invincibles
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Have to say A.

      and Tierney or Ait Nouri.

  13. Fodderx4
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Hello all, Any thought on Martinelli, Sterlin and, Kane to Bruno, Mo & Broja for -4?

  14. Killitzer
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Morning all

    I have all my chips in place and considering a WC this week and possibly a FC in 27.

    De Gea Steer
    TTA Dias Dalot Livra Digne
    KDB Jota Foden Bowen Gray
    Watkins Antonio Dennis
    £4.1m

    WC to-
    Sanchez Ramdale
    VJD Laporte Digne White Dalot
    Jota Bruno Bowen Salah Mahrez?
    Broja Pukki Dennis
    leaves £2m itb

    Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! I could just get by this week with KDB--> Bruno!

    1. Invincibles
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Do not go without TAA. Just dont.

      WC with Pukki > Weghorst, Mahrez > Coutinho.

      1. Invincibles
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Bruno to Son next week.

      2. Killitzer
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks. I was looking at Coutinho instead of Mahrez given the Pep roulette!

  15. Qaiss
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    If you were forced to have one Man United defender (not De Gea), who would it be? Thinking of going Shaw but worried about rotation with Telles.

    1. Invincibles
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Dalot.

    2. Yome
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Varane with money no issue

    3. artvandelay316
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Would also like to know the answer to this.
      First thought was Shaw, but don't know if he is nailed. Varane or Dalot other options but neither really excites me.

  16. SOTHPAW
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Is it worth transferring Ronaldo in for Kane this week and reversing the transfer for gw26?

    1. Sakib.jafar
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I can do this for -4 is it worth it.

      Cr7 has got double game week

    2. Volley127
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Depends on if you have bruno/salah IMO

  17. CrouchDown
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Who is the most nailed Burnley full back?

    1. Invincibles
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Pieters.

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Taylor will displace him.

    2. TopBinFC
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Its not worth even thinking about.

  18. Sakib.jafar
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    De Gea
    Dalot Cancelo TAA Digne
    Bernardo Salah Jota
    Kane Antonio Dennis

    Steele Sanchez Allan Martinelli

    What do with this team?
    0.3m left

  19. Jafalad
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    My (cunning) plan:

    Sanchez/Ramsdale

    TAA, Cancelo, Livra, Bavies, Dawson

    Foden, Bilva, Jota, Raphinha, Bowen

    Antonio, King, Ronaldo.

    Plan:

    Bruno and Ronaldo double up in 25. I have two FTs so I'll bring in Weghorst/Bruno/Saka for Antonio/Foden/Bilva for a -4. I am thinking of the dgw 26 with every transfer. That will leave me with 0.0 in da bank.

    In 26, I will take Bruno and Ronaldo out for Salah (TC) and another dgw player giving me 8-9 dgw players.

    In 27, I will have five ARS/LIV players so I will dead end my team with two transfers for a -4 and then play WC in 28.

    This gives me the two FH chips and BB to see me through.

    You likee? 🙂

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Sounds good but planning for BB could get tricky without WC but on the other hand, 36 is likely to have doubles for pretty much all teams, so it probably wont be tough this time.

      1. Jafalad
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Exactly my dear Holmes. Most teams will have a double in 36 and I will have the eight weeks prior to set myself up.

        I think the biggest issue I have is when to play the second FH if I play it in 30?

        1. Holmes
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Facing same dilemma, not sure when will I use 2nd FH. First in 30, 2nd probably in 36 but I have already used BB.

          Maybe you can build a BB29 team, cheaper options have got easy games in that week.

          1. Jafalad
            • 15 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            I really want to play that BB in 36. 20 + points is the target with a BB.

  20. SoulShakinTex
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    So… even though i have been a good bit and kept 4.9 ITB in order to bring Salah back, I can’t quite figure it out. Lose KDB now ahead of Norwich? Lose Jota as originally planned? Or bring Salah in with both of them, which would mean going without Bruno and/or Son for DGWs?

    Team now is:
    Sa/Foster
    TAA/Cancelo/Laporte/Digne/AitNouri
    KDB/Jota/Gallagher/Bowen/Raph
    Watkins/Edouard/JoaoPedro

    Any advice greatly appreciated!

    1. SoulShakinTex
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      …good boy…

    2. Invincibles
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Id do KDB to Bruno. KDB might get rested.

      1. Invincibles
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Or Gallagher > Son.

        1. SoulShakinTex
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Thx. And just wait with Salah to GW25?

          1. Invincibles
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            I want both Salah and Son in 26.

              Jota can cover Son though I guess.

  21. TopBinFC

    I see many on here thinking of selling Jota to get in Salah? Surely going with both is the best option. Jota is the value for money player in the game atm, madness selling.

    1. Invincibles
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Many want Robbo. Only reason to sell, but after last night some will reconsider.

      1. TopBinFC
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Perhaps, I guess those with Jota will be reluctant to sell but maybe those without are happy to continue to go without. I feel at the back TAA, Cancelo and cheaper (Wolves defense, Arsenal Defense etc) option is the way to go.

      Jota's minutes assured?

      Diaz starting, Mane and Salah back. Firmino fit. 5 players for 3 spots with the CL starting up soon

      1. TopBinFC
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        The same can be said for city and most teams have a city mid. I feel Jota is more nailed than Foden, Mahrez etc. Playing in the most attacking team in PL in a central role, his mins might fall slightly but I think after Salah now he is the main man.

        1. Biggsy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Yes, definitely can be said for City. And you'll see a post at the top of this page from myself being worried about this very thing.

          I guess it comes down to your bench - if you can cover him when he's benched, great.

          1. TopBinFC
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Yes very true, I'd be worried about cameos. Cheers for you replies.

        This, Klopp will rotate because of UCL.
        Robbo is a nice differential and I am happy to double up with TAA at the back

    3. Yome
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I sold Jota for Salah on my WC. That frees a spot for Son, Ramsey, Bruno, Saka, etc.
      I am going with TAA and Robbo.

      Jota is a frustrating player to own. He didn't score for 4 games before his brace yesterday.
      He will be rotatated with Diaz, Mane is back and Firmino will get games too.

      1. TopBinFC
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers, interesting to see different opinions on this. I feel he will play more mins than both Firmino and Diaz, during AFCON he was the main man and I dont think Mane is as nailed as many think.

        1. Yome
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          He was the main man simply because arguably the best two attackers Salah and Mane were away.
          Mane has always been first choice but hasn't had a great season.
          We all know Klopp likes to rotate. WIth the championship nearly out of reach, he will go all out on UCL.

    4. Hakuna Mateta
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Robbo for 3rd Liv position, consistent and more nailed with Diaz arrival

  22. Sakib.jafar
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Take out Martinelli for -4?

    Is it worth getting Ramsey in?

    1. Invincibles
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      DGW in 26 though.

      1. Sakib.jafar
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Suspended

        1. Invincibles
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          3 games?

          1. TopBinFC
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            One game but Arsenal blank this week so he will miss first game of DGW.

  23. No Salah
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    I’m on WC and surprisingly stuck with Raphinha vs James question

    A. Raphinha - better player, propped favourite, proven point machine.

    B. James - The form player. Playing out of position as forward, easily outscored Raphinha over last 4/5 weeks.

    So, A or B?

    1. Invincibles
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Still A for me.

    2. SoulShakinTex
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      With opponents coming up, I would suggest going without Leeds on WC. Raph was a shadow of his old self this week.

    Hi all team below with 1ft + 0.7itb:

    sanchez*
    trent - cancelo - laporte - dalot*
    kdb - coutinho - bowen - ramsey - jota
    kane

    Bench: ramsdale - broja - edouard - tierney

    kdb -> bruno (c) and bench order gtg?

    1. Invincibles

      Ci

  25. Invincibles
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Those on WC:
    A) Robbo
    B) Jota

    1. TopBinFC
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Jota, but only cause I have him all season.

    2. artvandelay316
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Jota

    3. Yome
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      A. I am on WC and going with Robbo, TAA and Salah
      Robbo nice differential

      1. Invincibles
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Been thinking same. Who in defence instead of Rob?

        1. Yome
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          What do you mean? I have Robbo

          1. Invincibles
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            My bad, annoyingly had Jota and Laporte before WC

        2. Yome
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          You could have Cancelo and Laporte, I had them both before my move to Robbo

    4. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Jota

  26. artvandelay316

    Is Rashford a legitimate option for the DGW, if Bruno cannot be afforded? He would be replacing Bernardo.

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I'd rather have Pogba for £2m less.

      1. Gooner97
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        This, overlooked.

        1. TopBinFC
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Until his inevitable red card

        2. Holmes
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          not sure what he has done to be considered as an option :/

          1. TopBinFC
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            This

          2. artvandelay316
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            He has scored twice in the last three games, will be playing against leaky defences and has got a DGW. And he'd be replacing Bernardo who has done nothing for ages.

            1. Holmes
              • 12 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              are you considering Pogba or Rashford?

              1. artvandelay316
                • 4 Years
                3 years, 9 months ago

                Either. But it just seemed that Rashford was more nailed so I thought I'd probably opt for him if I did go for one of them. Still undecided.

            2. TopBinFC
              • 3 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              Leaky defenses? Brighton dont concede many.

              1. artvandelay316
                • 4 Years
                3 years, 9 months ago

                I think I saw a post earlier that said they haven't kept a clean sheet since GW13...

      2. artvandelay316
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I'd be shipping him out after the DGW so money really isn't important to me in this. But I did consider Pogba as well, but it just seemed less likely he'd play, wheras Rashford seems pretty nailed.

  27. abaalan
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    DDG, (Foster)
    TAA, Cancelo, Keane, (Lowton, Livra)
    KDB, Jota, Raphinha, Bowen, Trossard
    Kane, Watkins, (King)

    2Ft, 0.8 ITB

    Something like this seem ok?
    GW25: Kane + Raphinha-> Broja + Bruno
    GW26: KDB + Bruno -> Salah + Son -4

    or just sort out that defence

    1. I Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Yeah seems fine but wouldn't it be easier to just do KDB to Bruno then Salah and keep Kane? I guess you really want Son over Kane.

    2. Sun God Nika
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      that def needs a tidy up definitely but could wait

      Plans looks decent tbh , i would always want son in my team over kane

  28. Sun God Nika
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Kdb to Salah/Bruno and either Toney/watkins to broja for minus 4 ?

    A. Yay
    B. Nay

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      B - for Bruno. He may have a double, but a hit is a stretch and assume you'll shift him in 26 to Salah anyway which means likely another hit if you have other moves for the double.

      As for Salah, i'm tempted to do it myself.

    Hi guys was replying earlier but got caught up at work.

    Dilemma time, only 2 playing defenders.

    DDG (Ramsdale)
    TAA, Cancelo, (Alonso, Tierney, Johnson)
    KDB, Salah, Jota, Bowen, Gundogan
    Broja Edouard (King)

    Just not keen on Brighton or Man U defence double up. But can afford any.

    Aston Villa not keeping many but at least Digne has attacking potential and a game GW30 (probably dead ending my team, unless Spurs get knocked out)

    Could get Alt Nouri for Johnson, and Varane for Alonso, there is a lack of defenders that look great for DGW 25/26. Will be FH27.

    Would love to do Jota to Robertson, but just don't have the transfers.

    Is KDB to Bruno worth the -4? and to -4 back out of again to Son. Could get Cotinho, but oddly enough Gundo might get some minutes this weekend?

    What a pickle !

    1. TheAbear53
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Would keep Bruno for week after when plays Leeds - write off the City game for Son, and Burnley won't be easy - while Bruno regularly hits 20 vs Leeds

  30. VaVaVoom
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    KDB or Bruno is really giving me a headache
