    Has there been a harder week for captain choice. Currently on Rash C Mitoma VC but seems a little safe with Bruno or Mac Allister as maverick options. What are people’s thoughts? I’m chasing if that helps

    1. brixtonBob
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      I’m chasing and going Mitoma.

    2. teddy.

      Watkins (c). 6 goals, 2 assists in last 8 games, including a goal and assist in the reverse fixture vs Leicester.

      1. GC123
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        That’s bold. Good luck buddy

    3. GreatCarragherReef
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      No idea between Bruno, Rashford, Mitoma, Maddison
      Currently on Maddison but it’s just flip a 4 sided coin

      1. GC123
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        That’s poop or bust territory. Good luck

    4. Pomodoro
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Sitting at 33k OR and have stuck it on Salah. Attacking it this week/final 3rd of season to try and get into top 10k. Might be silly, but fingers crossed.

      1. GC123
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        That’s amazing! Well done buddy and good luck with Mo

  2. Garfield1001

    Is Rashford captain too risky with the flag?

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

      No but I'm going Madison

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Me2

    2. Fabreghastly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      No, he's likely to be most captained so inherently a safe pick

    3. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      I'd ignore the flag, he will play both games - but I haven't captained him

  3. Fabreghastly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    If Haaland news breaks now the site will go down. Best do what you have to do guys

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      How do they know what they have to do without the news?

      1. Cilly Bonnolly
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        How do we know what to do with any player without news?

    Worth taking a hit getting Havertz for Halland assuming he will not play/bench today?

    Kepa
    Estupinan Shaw Trippier
    Rashford Salah Saka Mitoma McAli
    Toney Watkins

    Ward White Halland Martinez

    Thanks

    1. Sid1891
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Cmon ?
      Anyone?

    2. Klip Klopp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Yes

  5. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    I can't see Pep risking Haaland today with Champions League coming up.

    Groin issues can easily flare up if you come back too soon.

    1. Fabreghastly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Agree

      1. Fabreghastly
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        ...but, he seemed to be saying it was the player's choice

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      This the most likely scenario...will be saving Haaland for the Bayern games

    3. ljuta zena
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Honestly, expecting goal from bench, 60 mns come in

    4. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Do you have seven groins?

      1. Paul Psychic Octopus
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Technically 16, as joined in a circle

    5. Amey
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      So you don't have Haaland 😉

      1. Paul Psychic Octopus
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        As of 10 minutes ago, not any more

    6. Patio Kev
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      I agree, he’s nailed to my non boosted bench this week.

    7. Crystal Alice
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      one week punt on Alvarez anyone?

      1. Paul Psychic Octopus
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Crazy suggestion

  6. G Banger
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Who scores more?

    A) Martinelli + 4
    B) March
    C) Mac 10

    TAA, Estupinion, Trippier, Shaw
    Rashford (C) Bruno, Mitomoa (V)
    Halaand, Nunez, Toney

    Thanks a

  8. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Just a quickie, please
    Who scores more?

    A) Saka
    B) Kane
    C) March -4
    D) Mac10 -4
    E) Bruno -4

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

      Saka

    2. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      C

  9. ididnt
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Bench Kane or Toney?

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

      I'm leaning towards Kane

    2. ljuta zena
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Kane

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Oh that's a hard one...Flip a coin

    4. fusen
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      I'd bench Toney

      Although I'm personally bench boosting with both of them

    5. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Kane is definitely blanking

    6. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Kane for me

  10. marcos11
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Ward >

    a) Steele
    b) Iversen

    Will be backup to Raya except BB this week

    1. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      I actually went Iversen based on fixtures and he plays blank GW too

    2. agueroooooney
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      A if FH32
      B otherwise

  11. tryf88
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Sorry repost
    Haaland + Martinelli to Watkins + Bruno for -4?
    Or Martinelli to MacAllister for free?
    On BB

    1. ljuta zena
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Haa and Bru

  12. Kay317
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Has there been any news on Rashford? Is he fit to play?

    1. fantasist
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Ten Hag says he should play

    2. fusen
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      No news but likely he starts if you read ETH's comments

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Not going to get any news today I'm afraid. Back in training so at least it sounds promising.

    4. Hairy Potter
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      ETH said he was hopeful that he would play.

    5. Kay317

    6. Paul Psychic Octopus

    1 year, 2 months ago

    Which player would you most want to blank this GW?

    I haven't got much left to play for, so if I have them. I will captain the most popular choice. That will guarantee them one point in the first match and a broken arm after ten minutes of the second.

    1. sunzip14
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Most captained guy

      1. Gubby-Allen
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Probably Rashford then, so will captain him.

        Apologies Rashford captainers.

  23. ball c

    Is it worth a -12 getting Pickford out for a double game week keeper?

    1. sunzip14
      • 7 Years

      only -4 for that so Yes
