    No Kane or Kulu rise

  5. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Ramsdale
    Saiss Kilman Doherty
    Barnes Coutinho Saka Son Raphinha
    Lacazette Kane

    Good to go ?

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

      Yep, good team this week - should be a green arrow

    2. Garth Marenghi
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Free hit?

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

        nope, -4

        1. Garth Marenghi

          gtg

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

    Any transfer worth doing here to get 11 out? I’m thinking not….

    Ramsdale
    Tierney, Coady, Ait-Nouri
    Coutinho, Raphina, Martinelli, Kulu
    Kane, Jimenez

    Foster, Trent, Robbo, Salah, Broja
    Bank 0.4m, 1FT, BB/FH left

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

      Can you afford Broja >> Toney ?

      Otherwise you could do Salah to someone and bring him back

      Playing 10 could be fine though

    2. Garth Marenghi
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Ait-Nouri to Kilman? More nailed

  7. SpaceCadet
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Think hwang plays this gw? No concrete news.

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

      No one knows yet

  8. Garth Marenghi
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Doherty in for a hit?
    A) yes
    B) no

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

      if you have a blank then yes

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

      B

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

    What should I do this week
    A) Coady for Robbo
    B) Hwang or Gelhart for king
    C) Save play 9 players

    1. Garth Marenghi
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Leaning C, especially if you already have 11

      1. Garth Marenghi
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Whoops, then B

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

    Which Wolves full back is the most nailed on, lads?

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

    Is it too risky to get rid of Salah and get him back in 33? Blank Watford MCI, really think Watford would be the ideal fixture to rest both Mane and Salah with UCL and City up next

    1. fish&chips
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I'm kind of considering it. Big risk though

    2. tokara
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Serious topic for today lol

  12. L'Aeroplanino
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Still have 2 FHs. Is there merit to save FH if I have 9 players after a -8:

    Ramsdale
    Tierney Coady
    Kulu Son Barnes Raph Saka
    Kane

    (Took out Salah for Kane)

    When would you play it if not this week? (FH33, WC35, BB36)

    1. Garth Marenghi
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      -8 with 9 players? I'd play the fh

    2. kip kop
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Use your FH

    3. L'Aeroplanino
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Thanks both.

    4. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Save FH for GW33 & 36. Play 8 for a -4. I would save FT.

      1. L'Aeroplanino
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        bench boost when?

  13. kip kop
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Non FH team. Thoughts? 0FT

    Sa
    Davies Doherty Tierney Kilman
    Cout Saka Ramsey
    Kane(C) Laca Hwang

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

    do wolves have any games to be rescheduled? Considering bringing in kilman now

  15. JAYPEE
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Do I sell Digne or Alonso for Amartey?

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Digne

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

    No Kane owners, who are you capping this week?

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

      Gotta be Son - hopefully comes good against a West Ham team who just played extra time today

    2. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Thinking Kulu

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

      Son

    Rough with the Smooth, Gameweek 29.

    How did your Gameweek go?

    You can share your tales of joy and woe here.

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

      Smooth: 93 points without hits
      Rough: Targett and Weghorst

    2. PastaFasul
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      WC got me 123, can't complain with 7 players in double figures. Most importantly, set me up with 11 for GW 33. Rolling my transfer for 2 FTs in 31.

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

        That's epic. Well done.

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

          Thanks Bob, we'll see how 30 goes up against the FH template

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

      Pretty Terrible, compared to others.
      73 (-4) and massive 116% rank drop from 10k to 22k
      Blanks from JWP, Coutinho, Jimi and Saka along with having Son instead of Kane/Kulu hurt.

      Returns from my 4 defs the only positive really.

    4. 2999 - Lady of Legend
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Only rough:
      64 points, 2 x clean sheets lost by Dubravka late on, Coady benching.

    5. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Smooth: 95 points (-8 hit so 87). Transfers gave a net 5 points up
      Rough: Benched Cancelo & Kilman

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

      Smooth: 97(-4)
      Rough: Ramsey, Coady on bench

    7. Energetics
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Smooth again this week, probably first time two smooth weeks in a row!

      Took a -8:

      OUT went Digne, Son and Jimenez (total score 8 points)

      IN came Doherty, Kulu and Kane (total score 32 points)

      Altogether a score of 120 to follow last weeks 143.

      1. King Carlos
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Well done!

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

      27 pts on the bench. Two GWs in a row.

    9. sambyy
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Smooth: 104 points with no chips or hits. Havertz -> Kulusevski transfer.
      Rough: 21 points on bench.

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

      No Kane, Salah captain, differentials doing nothing, single Pool defence, 40k rank drop, Digne injured for 30.

      Absolutely no smooth

    11. Mane Mane Mane
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      112 points but with a -8, took me back up to around 15,000th.

    12. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      110, so thats a smooth.
      Kane out scoring SON was unexpected, Kulu 11, Alison 15, i think thats the most i have had from a goalie. Lost 3 points on Robertson, but 1 mill saved.
      If something tough, Calvert Lewin sick for the first and then played half hour, but smooth assist but left with the feeling what could have been.
      Rough: VAR. Or the ones who sits there tbf. Kane runs like thirthy yards with his studs and tackled Robertson knee high. ROBERTSON kicks from standing position, reckless yes, but thats red. Then Diaz gets run over with Sanchez channeling his inner Schumacher, but no, not red. Allan tackle yesterday, yes its bad, and you can give red for that, but if thats red then what is the Sanchez tackle? 10 games ban? Allan tackle is 2 months out with an ankle operation. DIAZ tackle is possibly life threath tackle, as seen by the victim of Schumacher tackle. And i am not blaming Sanchez, he of course is not doing it on purpose.

    13. Bunk Moreland
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Moves:
      James, Cancelo, Foden, Broja > Robertson, Doherty, Kulusevski, Hwang.
      Bench boosted with a bench of Sanchez, Ramsey, Rudiger, and Lamprey.

      Got 133 points (-12) and halved my rank, into the top 5k now.

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

      Rough; Nothing apart from Salah only starting once.

      Smooth; After a disastrous GW27/28 period I hit the wildcard. Was planning to wait until 31/32 but it had to be done. Made the right move hitting 113 points. My old team with my planned moves for Son and Lacazette would’ve scored 79-4. GW rank of 89k and moved back up 100k places to repair the damage. Salah(c), new recruits Robbo, Kulu, Kane doing well plus I’ve got Barnes and Gordon installed ready for upcoming double gameweeks. Got rid of Bruno, Bowen, Brownhill, Weghorst, Antonio and King and for once didn’t get burned by a single one! Rapha went for Barnes which I was a bit nervous about time will tell on that move.

  18. Henryyy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Who do you prefer going forward?

    A Barnes
    B Martinelli

  19. Pomp and Circumstance
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    who is better choice for this week and next few weeks--Toney or Lacazette?

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

      Laca

    2. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Laca

    3. Pomp and Circumstance
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      is it worth -8 to bring in Son, Kulu, and Lacazette?

      1. The FPL Units
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        I don't think so. Score projection are around 50 pts for the week and there are only 2 players projected to score more than 4 points this week - Son & Kane.

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

          Does this score prediction works most of the time?

          1. The FPL Units
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            its not perfect bad a good guide when contemplating 50/50 calls. I use the FFS members Rate My Team feature.

  20. The FPL Units
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Which combo will score more?

    a) Son & Jimi
    b) Martinelli & (K)ane -4

    1. MaRooney 5
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      a

    2. tokara

      b

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

      Very much hoping A, but sure it'll be B

  21. MaRooney 5
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    for gw30:

    a) Kulusevski and double Wolves (Sa/Coady/Saiss/Jonny)
    b)Reguilón and double Leicester mids (Barnes/Maddi/Tiele?

    Thanks in advance!

  22. De Gea is GOAT
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Hey guys did anyone watch the Leicester game? How did Barnes and Madders play? Thank you

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

      Had a one on one chance but couldnt finish, so typical..

      Watch the HL on youtube

      1. Cruyff's Eleven
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Maddison only played 30

    2. De Gea is GOAT
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Thanks guys. Yeah i think youtube only shows a 3 min HL. Was wondering how they actually played during the game.

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

    On a FH- crazy to roll with both Barnes & Maddison?

    Other midfielders are Son, Coutinho, & Raphinha

    1. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Saka?

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

        Definitely vacillating on him. He’s on my regular team but slightly concerned about his form

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

        Also, trying to have as many differentials from ML rival as possible for this week (he has Saka)

      3. Joggers Nipple
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Or Martinelli? Alot of non FH teams have Saka so going Martinelli and hoping for some 'unique' points

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

          Another I flip-flopped- had Martinelli in the FH but moved him to Barnes. If I were to bring him back in, who to remove from Barnes & Maddison?

          1. Joggers Nipple
            • 14 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            Ive gone
            Coutinio Barnes Kula Martielli
            Kane Laca Toney

    2. De Gea is GOAT
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Could be a genius move. Have a feeling there will be a few goals from that game.

  24. tokara
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Whats the diff with Europa and Europa Conference, is all about the money right

    1. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Another cup to make more money for the UEFA.

  25. RichRover
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Is it worth -4 to take Son out and Kane in?

    1. Definitely not sleeping
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Maybe. Depends on the rest of your team your next plans

  26. Cruyff's Eleven
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Maddison only played 30 minutes in the Europa game - enough reason to pick him over Barnes?

    1. De Gea is GOAT
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Wondering the same. I think hes a class above Barnes. But Barnes usually finishes the season quite well

    2. Definitely not sleeping
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      For a ft sure.

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

      I'm thinking yes. Haven't seen the game though, so don't know how Maddy looked for the 30 mins.
      Seems Ndidi might be injured again though and without him, Leicester aren't very good. They've got issues defensively too.
      Think Eriksen against Leicester could be the clever pick this week

  27. FusionFC
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Ramsdale
    Coady Doherty Amartey
    Kulu Coutinho Saka
    Kane Lacazette Hwang

    Not playing: Foster, TAA, Rudiger, Salah Gordon

    0.1 ITB

    Worth using a free transfer to replace Gordon with someone like Luiz (or to go from Salah to Barnes then maybe Coutinho to Salah?), or just roll it?

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      roll it, you have all the big hitters for the week.

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

        Thanks mate.

    2. Definitely not sleeping
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Roll

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

        Thanks.

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

    Worth a hit doing Dennis > Toney to field 11 for GW30?

    Sa
    Tierney Doherty Dawson
    Son Kulusevski Saka Coutinho
    Jimi Watkins

    1. Definitely not sleeping
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Possibly. Sort of wrestling with a similar decision.

    2. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      nope - almost worth it to get rid of Dennis, but no.

      Yes, if he does nothing you get 2 points and have got rid of Denis

        The getting rid of Dennis thing is definitely a benefit. They both have tough fixture in 31 but wouldn't need to play either that week anyway. Something I have just realised is I cannot then afford Coutinho to Havertz for 31 without a hit, so may hold off due to that.

    Thoughts gents?

    Sa
    Amarty Kilman TAA* Cancelo*
    Kulu Ramsey Raph Saka
    Adams* Kane

    Foster* Salah* Rudiger* Dennis*

    Holding first in mini by 25 points and down a WC to #2 but he is playing is FH this week. Also not sure I want to part with the players not playing due to the coming GWs.

    Used FT and have 0.5m itb

    A - play FH
    B - Adams>Toney for a -4
    C - Laca and a defender in for a -8
    B - gtg

      B or D, close, I might do B but for Denis

        Thanks. Thought has crossed my mind.

      I think B could pay off.
      Wouldn't do a -8 if opponent will FH. Don't think it's worth you FHing as you have a good core.

        Holding on to the points, my original thought. Made the mistake of thinking too long on it, now have the thought that I may loose some ground.

          more upside FH33 or 36 imo. With Kane captain you will not be far behind or even close if lucky this week.
