    Why is the average so high this week?

    Can’t be that many Callum Wilson owners, and not if there are - they’re all cheating on hallucinogenic drugs

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I thought my 59 score was quite solid but clearly not lol

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

      Does seem odd to me too - think I dropped over 400k since I checked at 1-0 ti Arsenal. Jesus I guess?

      Pretty sure tripping doesn't help with FPL btw 😉

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

        + Saliba, Man Utd CS, Rashford, and Martinelli losing BPS

      2. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Didn’t think Jesus is that high owned anymore and he only got an assist.

        Maybe not, but it would explain people doing mad things lol

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Oh balls can see he got 2 assists

        2. lilmessipran
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          He got 2 assists I think

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

          Jesus has a long, long history of causing people to do mad things

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

        Tripping doesn’t help…Timothy Leary says hold my electric Kool-Aid

    3. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah - but what a trip.

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

    Which GW 15 & 16 plan looks better?

    A) Get Wilson for GW15 (sou). II Play Wilson & Almiron in GW16 vs Chelsea
    B) Get Solanke for GW15 (lee). II Get Darwin in GW16 (SOU). Play Solanke (EVE) & Darwin (SOU). Bench Almiron (CHE)

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

      What’s with all the Darwin love? Potential? He hasn’t shown anything that makes him worth the price.

      1. Lionac
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Expecting his haul soon. Personally expect Liverpool to ship 3-4 goals against SOU

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

          Many have been saying both of those things now for weeks unending

          Good luck

    2. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A

    3. KunDogan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Solanke just doesn’t feel right, just cheap. A.

  4. Saïss Doesn't Mat…
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Damn.... who do people have on their bench that would cause me to lose 100k in rank post-subs?

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I know, something generally fishy is going on this season…

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

        Illuminati

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

      It's the vice captains too I think

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Most will have gone Kane or Son.
        Not many Salah owners after his array of blanks too

        1. Podge
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Good few arsenal vcs with that standout fixture

          1. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Suppose

      2. Saïss Doesn't Mat…
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        ah... makes sense

      3. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        This is the primary reason

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

      I have Almiron. Lots of people have their captain switched to Salah, Jesus etc

    4. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Lots of Haaland captainers getting vc points

      1. Bluetiger1
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Good FPL (Vcapt) choices - possible knowing that Haaland was a 50/50 double & having a good (VC) & first name sub on bench

  5. Van der Faart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Wildcard has been a disaster for me from last week.

    Would have scored 10 more points last week with my pre WC team. 62 v 72.

    And this week 38 v 68.

    Pain

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

      Pain's not bad, it's good. It teaches you things. I understand that.

      Charles Manson said that

  6. Podge
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Perisic to Dalot ?
    Yay or nay

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I would, Dalot one of the few things I’ve got right this season.

    2. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yay

  7. FCSB
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Pope
    Cancelo Trippier Perisic
    Salah Foden Rashford Martinelli
    Haaland Mitrovic Toney

    Iversen Neco Guehi Andreas

    2FT, 1.2itb

    What to do here??

    Thinking Toney >> Wilson, but what else?

    Thanks

    1. Podge
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Perisic to dalot maybe

      1. FCSB
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        That’s an option

    2. Rhodes your boat
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Similar position, I’m also thinking of moving on Salah/mitro

      1. FCSB
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Who for?

    3. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Andreas to Almiron?

      1. FCSB
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I thought that was the move then but I’d already have 3 Newcastle mate

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Ah course!

  8. Flynny
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Best saka replacement if injured?

    A....almiron

    B...rashford

    Thanks

    1. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A

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

    Not seeing many mention Rodrigo?

    Seems a good cheap punt for 2 weeks?

    1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I’m interested mate, just minutes, played 62 mins against Fulham and 51 against Pool

    2. All Hail K
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Current trend is to start him for 45 mins then put Bamford in (insert joke here) for the second half.

  10. MGD
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    What are first projections on Saka?

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Arteta on Saka. ‘It was a bad kick [on his leg and ankle]. Right from the beginning he was limping, but I don’t see any further than that, let’s see how it is in the next couple of days.
      He wasn’t comfortable to continue.’ #AFC

  11. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Another crap week.

    1. Pomodoro
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Mate, It's so tight this season. I started this week at 195k OR, I was sitting at 115k this morning, and after tonight's games I'm at 256k. That's the difference between 8 or so points.

      Gamble on only Martinelli from Arsenal, and went for TAA this week over one of their defenders. Captained Kane. Fine margins.

      Head up, next week you could be up 100k in OR.

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

    United have kept 5 clean sheets this season. Dalot has gotten max bonus in 4 of them... United have also not conceded a non-pen goal in over 540 minutes.

    He has to be one of the most sought after defensive assets in the game I'd think. Dier > Dalot is starting to look super obvious for me. Don't have a good starter this week...

    1. STONEROSES
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      All true…. But, he’s on 4 YCs

      1. Bluetiger1
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Good call - currently watching all players with 4 Yellow cards & future transfers until after GW19 then any targets like Kane on my target list might go for, looking to add cover to bench as we speak as no news on Haaland, Toney out next week & Saka news

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

        I have decent enough bench depth that I think I can afford to risk it. It's next week that I need defensive cover for Dier, Gomez and Neco Williams.

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

      I'm pissed off about the Kepa injury cuz I was gonna get Dalot but now I can't without a hit or without a keeper.

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

        He might be fine for the next game. Let's see. I'm hoping so too otherwise I'm doing Iversen > Ward as one of my FTs...

  13. Wolfman180
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I can imagine this'll be a popular move but I'm thinking Toney to Wilson, Zaha to Trossard with my 2FT. Best move given this team?..

    Pope
    Cancelo, Trippier, Guehi,
    Salah, Foden, Martinelli, Zaha
    Toney, Haaland, Mitrovic

    Guiaita, Andreas, Mings, N Williams

    1. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      GTG stay with the flow

    2. KunDogan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Toney to Wilson and 2ft for gw16

  14. STONEROSES
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Who’s best for next 2 WKs

    A. Almiron

    B. Rashford

  15. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Looks like Wilson may get second price rise in 2 days tonight!

    1. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Him & Almiron flying up

  16. EL tridente
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Best 2 for the next 2?
    A) Trossard
    B) Almiron
    C) Rashford

  17. Klip Klopp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I already have Trippier and 3 Newcastle players, who’s the best goalkeeper to get on a Wildcard?

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Pickford, Guaita, Sanchez maybe even DDG.

  18. Ingstagram
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    What a season
    My team fighting for it's life here
    Hovering around 3mil-4mil

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

      Brutal this season man

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

        It really is

  19. JohnnyCroat
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    62 & a red arrow. Mad altogether like.

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Should have captained Nelson then

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

      Same exact score and only a slight Green of about 50k places, joke

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

      Lol I’m at 63 with a green arrow

  20. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    2 FT and 3.6 ITB

    A - Saka & Mitro > Tross & Wilson
    B - Saka & Zaha > Tross & Almiron
    C - Other suggestion?

    Guaita
    Robbo - Cancelo - Trippier - Dalot - Zouma
    Foden - Saka - Zaha - Bowen
    Haaland - Mitro

    Ward - Zaha - Solanke - Andreas

  21. Wolfman180
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Zaha to Trossard or Rashford?
    Was all for Trossard but im starting to think there may not be many goals vs Wolves and Rashford could actually be a better option for the next 2

  22. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Wilson already on +85% with three blue arrows after rising yesterday
    Triple rise incoming

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

      If Haaland is out I can see him making the triple rise.

      Every single striker transfer will be for him.

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

        Not saying I will make a move to him- Wouk’s require a hit- but I am definitely interested regardless of Haaland’s status. Would give me a (potential) beast of front line

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

          Would, not Wouk’s. How the hell did that get in there

  23. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Is rashford worth a Punt over trossard?

    1. Wolfman180
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I am quite tempted to do it

    2. Jet5605
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I'm wary. Rashford has had a few false dawns although I do like his next two

  24. Wolfman180
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Asking myself the same question. I'm actually half tempted to do it and go Rashford

    1. Wolfman180
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Reply fail

  25. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Is it time to get rid of Mitro given his fixtures until the World Cup?

  26. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Should I get rid of Zaha or Saka? I'm thinking ditch Zaha and hold Saka in case he's back for GW16

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

    Do saved transfers get wiped during the WC?

    1. Croaker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

  28. AD2110
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Who would you rather have for the next two?

    A) Rashford
    B) Almiron

    1. Wolfman180
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      On current form I'd say Almiron however he's just had 3 double figure returns in a row.... surely that can't continue... can it?

  29. RICICLE
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Pope
    Cancelo - Saliba - Trippier
    Martinelli - Almiron - Salah - Foden - Saka
    Mitrovic - Haaland
    ____________________________________
    Ward: Solanke: Guehi: Neco

    Guys is it worth it removing Pope for another keeper so I can turn Mitrovic into Wilson for a -4?

    Cheers for any Input on this 😉
