    Does anyone think the WC being stopped at GW12 make sense? Like I would prefer the way it was normally. If any players in the World Cup got injured I would want the WC after to make changes, and keep the second WC for after the new year. Doesn't make sense to me!!

      No. I am fine with rules declared before the start of the season. It provides a level playing platform for everyone. I am annoyed with rule changes during the season.

      For example, extra Free Hit due to Covid suspensions, roll over WildCard if all games are suspended. Those change of rules disproportionately benefit some players.

      I have never seen a game where the rules change during the game, except FPL. I think they shouldn't change the rules during the game, but modify the rules before the next season begins. For example, they can include a new rule that if more than 8 games are suspended in a gameweek, then ... bla bla ... will happen.

        I didn't say anything about changing the rules halfway through the season!!

        I said it doesn't make sense that they have changed the rules in the first place.

        There's no point using a WC before the World Cup. I still have mine and wasn't planning on using it. I wanted it for after the World Cup.

          I agree with both.

          Don't like the World Cup 'wildcard', don't think it's justified.

          Certainly didn't like the made-up rules in last couple of seasons, not fair in many ways – though this wasn't the point of the question, I know!

          Fantasy football now an asset to the Premier League portfolio, hence them paying it a lot more attention in last few years, and making up rules that support populism.

            I agree with both your comments to a certain extent but I think changes due to Covid or other events out of footballs control were understandable.

    Would you play Zouma or Trips?

    1. Mozumbus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Benching Trippier doesn't make sense to me

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

      Always stay Trippy

    3. MagicMessi
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      If not play him vs Bou home then what is the point of having him?

    4. valurth
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I have the same dilemma, playing Trippier as I think Bourn. can score. Trippier more likely Ringsveen attacking points

      1. valurth
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years

        Ringseen (to have) (auto fuxxx)

    Who to bench?

    A) Mount
    B) Zaha

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I'm currently benching A and playing Mount.

      Not sure how I feel about it

      1. theBoose
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Benching and playing Mount simultaneously.. impressive haha

      2. Mozumbus
        • 4 Years

        You're definitely not sure lol

    Bottomed. Final WC players

    A) Kane, Darwin, Eze, Almiron

    B) Mitro, Darwin, Bowen, Zaha

    C) Mitro, Archer, Sala, Zaha

    1. Mozumbus
      • 4 Years

      Salah

    2. Scalper
      • 9 Years

      B

  6. Von Lipwig
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Which one should I keep up to the WC?
    A) Rash
    B) Trossard

    1. Bad Kompany
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Rashford. Really unlucky to not score the last two weeks

      1. WhilePaquetàGentlyWe…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Unlucky? I’d say poor finishing / decision-making. Anyone getting paid more than 30k per week should be expected to bury 2 of those 3 chances. Rashford woeful decision-making. Fred unbelievably lucky to get a goal for that soft pass/shot that deflected then a mis control “fantasy” assist that just happens to fall to Bruno. I don’t get people saying that was United’s best performance. Could’ve been nil all but should’ve been 2 nil with two Rashford goals. Not for me but all the best if you go that way

  7. gart888

    Start Pope or Ward?

    Start two of Perisic, Trippier, Guehi?

    1. MagicMessi
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Peri Trip

    2. Simon69
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Perisic unlikely to start so solves itself

      1. gart888
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Not if he comes on for 15 minutes late... that's why I may bench him.

        1. WhilePaquetàGentlyWe…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Then you get 1 point mate. That’s not exactly what I’m looking for from my bench or starters

  8. Bad Kompany
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Really lost here

    A) Zaha/Rashford to Martenelli/Saka
    B) Wilson to Jesus
    C) Save ft

    1. A Fat Spanish Waiter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B if you can afford it.

  9. MagicMessi
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Play Pope or Ward ?

    1. Jonesfromthere
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Ward spread the risk

  10. Simon69
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone else feel like Brighton *could* potentially keep it tight whereas Forest absolutely won't? Edging closer to Mo (c)

    1. Jonesfromthere
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Did you see the West Ham game

      1. Simon69
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Big difference between Forest and West Ham all the same

    2. FantasyClub
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Since Salah continued his theme of returning one week then blanking the other, you know what’s gonna happen this week! He’s about to haul my friend.

  11. MagicMessi

    Play Billing vs whm
    Or Almiron vs tot ?
    ? Thanks in advance!

    1. tokara
      • 11 Years

      Almiron

      1. A Fat Spanish Waiter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        This

        1. MagicMessi
          • 13 Years

          Thanks lads!

  12. spillachio
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    How about Kane Trossard Dunk to Toney Salah Cancelo for a -8??

    1. A Fat Spanish Waiter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Its definitely a good set of changes, but not for a -8. Hold and maybe consider for a -4 next week.

      1. MagicMessi
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        This

    2. Fabreghastly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Certainly an upgrade, but costly. Have you no half-decent benchers?

    3. spillachio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Thanks guys. Time to calm down 🙂

    G2G? Anything worth a hit? 0FT 0.1 itb.

    Pope
    Cancelo Trippier Perisic Dalot
    Salah Foden Rashford Bailey
    Haaland Kane

    Iverson Andreas Neco Greenwood

    Cheers

    1. A Fat Spanish Waiter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Not for a hit, no. I don’t love rashford there, but worst case you have him for 4 more games.

    8.1m to spend on an 8.1m non-Arsenal midfielder...

    Can anyone help me? I've go no bloody clue...

    1. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Zaha?

      Barnes?

      Mount?

      1. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        There are so many!

    2. MagicMessi
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Make it 8.3 to get Foden

    3. Fabreghastly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Zaha, Rashford, Antony, Mount, Silva, Gundo?

      1. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Oooh! Antony is a good shout!

    4. Von Lipwig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks. Zaha over Mount for fixtures?

  15. Dthinger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Where my wildcard is currently sitting:

    Ward
    Cancelo White Gomez Andersen
    Salah Foden Martinelli
    Kane Haaland Toney

    Iverson Andreas Murphy Neco

    I feel pretty good about it, so by all means, rip it to shreds for your own pleasure

    1. Mozumbus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Nice team with 3 premiums!
      Comparing with my WC, it comes down to:
      Kane Andersen vs Mitrovic Saka

    2. A Fat Spanish Waiter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      If you are set on the “threemium” its about as good as it gets. Pretty good team outside of the goalkeeping.

      1. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah that GW 14 fixture is a bit of an issue isn’t it?

    3. A Fat Spanish Waiter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      In rethinking my comment a bit, one thing you could consider is moving someone like Toney to Mitro and using the different to get a real keeper, like Kepa perhaps.

      1. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I think Ward+Toney will outscore Kepa+Mitro over the next few weeks, but I could be wrong

        1. Dthinger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          I could downgrade Gomez to Patterson, get a 4.5 keeper and play Andreas instead of benching him. Would that be better?

          1. A Fat Spanish Waiter
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            If you think ward + Toney will outscore, Kepa+mitro, I say go for it. Definitely wouldn’t downgrade Gomez to Patterson, especially since Patterson is hurt and your main fallback is Neco. Love Patterson long term though. Got to see him play live a few weeks ago and he looked very sharp.

  16. I Member

    3 years, 1 month ago

    If I think both Leicester and Newcastle will concede should I play Pope over Ward for saves against Spurs?

    1. A Fat Spanish Waiter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Hard to say. Spurs probably score more than wolves.

    2. WhilePaquetàGentlyWe…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      How many you think Wolves will get? Genuine question

      1. A Fat Spanish Waiter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Betting odds say 1.3 goals. As good a guess as anything, I suppose.

  17. Von Lipwig
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Zaha over Mount for fixtures?

    1. WhilePaquetàGentlyWe…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I made that decision and moved Mount instead of Zaha. Tempted by Eze though. Like really tempted but ultimately didn’t do it

    2. A Fat Spanish Waiter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Over the next 4 games (e.g. until we get unlimited transfers), yes.
