  1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    What hits did everyone take this week? -4 here.

    1. Gazwaz80
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Same

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Same

    3. fantasist
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      -4 at first then I realised Ward won't play anymore so did -8 to get Iversen

    4. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      None, even rolled my transfer, but I did WC last week and avoided any flags bar Rashford.

    5. Conners
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Same. I think-4 will be the average.

    6. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      -4 Gabriel to Chilwell.

    7. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      none and my free transfer was a boring one too! Ramsdale > DDG

    8. Sun God Nika
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      4

    9. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      cash(what a bad pick on wc when i had mings all week..) and ode to march and shaw for -4

    10. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Surprisingly none for me this time!

    11. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      -8 and BB

      Ward, Mahrez, Gakpo, Haaland to De Gea, Bruno, Mitoma, Ings (c)

    12. teneighty
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      2 hits to get a decent BB-team.

    13. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      -4 here

    14. jacob1989
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      I saved a FT. I already played bb and have too many good players on bench

    15. Mirror Man
        2 years, 8 months ago

        -12

        1. Gazwaz80
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          Wow!!

      • Mambino
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        same

      • SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Just used 1FT 🙂

      • Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        -8, Saka Odegaard > Maddison Bruno! Sounds terrible 😛

      • g40steve
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        -8

    16. The Mandalorian
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Resting Saka against a poor Leeds for their tough run of fixtures makes alot of sense.

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

        Protected before the Liverpool game?

      2. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        wishful thinking. nothing that can be done now anyway

      3. Dead Balls
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        All games are tough and Arsenal chasing there first league title for years - he starts and plays once a week barring injury

        1. Maddamotha
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          This

      4. fantasist
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        To me it makes no sense with the title charge, no other competitions, and 5 days rest. He'll be high in confidence and rearing to go again.

      5. Crunchie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        goal difference is very important.

      6. F_Ivanovic
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        This. Especially given he played twice in IB and has played so many minutes over the course of a season. They have Jesus, Trossard and Martinelli all fit and should be more than good enough to get the job done. If they're struggling, he'll probably be on at HT.

        1. Dead Balls
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          Can’t see that two games in two weeks for England will hurt him scrub that nonsense - it’s all about the title - he starts

      7. davidfromkent
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Was this some sort of April Fool story about Saka, haven't seen it? Would be pleased as i transferred him out!

    17. tbos83
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Haaland starts...

      Alfie Haaland

      1. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Would be surprised if Haaland and Saka leaks are April fools.

        1. bitm2007
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          Wouldn't

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

            Try to decide! 😉

        2. Gizzachance
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          Probably

    18. Shultan
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      I missed the Saka rumours & have him on my BB!
      How can he be benched? Arsenal not in Europe or FA cup

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

        Nelson needs that PL medal

      2. :
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Niggle?

      3. Fabreghastly
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        If Andy has pulled an April Fools prank I think he's misjudged it. People making last minute transfers and cancelling their BBs on the strength of a joke is not funny

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          Watched the stream and he said it was his a contact that has previously given him Arsenal news. Also put disclaimers when he mentioned it

          1. Tonyawesome69
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 8 months ago

            It was a contact*

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

              So he's the one who's been April Fooled?

        2. dunas_dog
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          I was watching stream - certainly not a prank by him. Source previously reliable but of course he could have been trolled. We will find out later!

    19. b00tsie
      • 7 Years

      How long does the site normally take to update after deadline?

      1. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        45 mins +

      2. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        About an hour

      3. Tonyawesome69
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        A lot of transfers and chips in play so expect longer than usual

      4. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        With all the chips, probably 2 hours knowing FPL

    20. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      That potential Saka news is a bit of a kick in the teeth. Could've sold him instead of Ode. I had time to react as well as I was watching Andy's stream.

      1. FPL_trail_runner
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        I think its more than likely factual

        Pushed me to Saka > Benrahma for a -4

      2. Shultan
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        I missed it! Would have done saka to maddison for a hit if I was online

      3. Free Hat
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        If true yep. Sold odegaard as well. Bit annoying

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          I made the Ode move last night. Could've sold Saka to Maddison but was hesitant on the move

          1. Free Hat
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 8 months ago

            Sold ode just before saka news to mads.
            Then saka for Bruno ,but min 4.
            But not ideal having no fh 32 left.

      4. Fabreghastly
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Leaked lineups reports only Eddy and Saliba are out

    21. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Saka against tired legs?

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Game won, won't be risked.

    22. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Haaland hatrick today

      1. Make United Great Again

    24. MIGHTY JOE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Haaland not in squad

    25. Ruinenlust

    27. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      This is going to be a bad week.

    28. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Saka probably rested before their next Champions League game.

      1. FPL_trail_runner
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Maybe he has flu / personal problem, its not always a rest

        We will see in a few hours

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

      Nunez BENCHED

    30. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Not in the squad! Who kept him?

      1. Old Bull
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Got rid, yesterday.

      Manchester City XI: Ederson, Stones, Dias, Akanji, Ake, Gundogan, Rodri, Majrez, De Bruyne, Grealish, Alvarez.

        Majrez yessss

        1. GENERATION X
          • 12 Years

          FPL royalty your Maj

    32. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Nunez not starting

    33. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      No way Andy makes that up for a laugh, the backlash would be incredible on him. Doesn't seem that type of guy!

      1. Hairy Potter
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Maybe his source is someone who wants to prank FPL content creators - if it is a joke.

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          That'd be a classic 😆

          I'll be more surprised if Saka does start now though.

      2. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        He's been wrong before. Maybe someone has April Fooled him.

      3. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        But his "reliable" source may have been pranked etc Today is also April the 1st.

      4. OptimusBlack
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Why he tell this info so late and on his live not as a tweet before Deadline

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

          To get more viewers? And why would he tweet uncertain rumour?

      5. Mambino
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Yes, he hasn't made it up but it doesn't mean the source isn't false

    34. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Come on BBC intern, do your best to put Man City players in random positions and line ups on the website.

      1. Hairy Potter
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        3-2-4-1 with KDB & Stones in midfield pivot, Rodri on the left wing and Gundo & Mahrez central attacking midfield.

        https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/65073200

        Not bad.

    35. Free Hat
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Not in squad probably good for owners.
      Expect most will have a good sub first on bench.

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Yep.

      2. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Poll on hear suggests that two thirds of us on here are on BB.

        1. Free Hat
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          Except those ofcourse.

      3. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Everyone is on BB

        1. Free Hat
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          Indeed. But expect a lot of bb to have sold haaland before or after the news

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

            Yes, I sold him before last gw for example 🙂

            1. Free Hat
              • 6 Years
              2 years, 8 months ago

              Same.
              Unfortunate for owners, but glad move worked out. Hopefully watkins can cash in now

          2. Baps Hunter
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 8 months ago

            But if people have been forced to take -4 this week to sell him, it is definitely good for us who sold him earlier 🙂

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

              Well... Unless Watkins blanksand Isak hauls.

    36. Raiser153
      • 5 Years

      Haaland OUT

    37. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Kane in for Haaland off the bench.

      Estupinan for Saka if the rumours are true. Will take that 🙂

    38. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Nunez vs tired legs

    39. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Haaland out increases my number of DGW players. Getting Buendia off my bench.

        Not a problem, Zaha first on bench

        I’ll believe it when I see it

      Going to be a good day for owners Alvarez and Mahrez.

      Julian Alverez isn’t a bad back up striker! City squad is ridiculous

        Not sure Haaland will start against lowly Soton with Bayern Munich 3 days later. Sub appearance to get minutes in the legs at best I reckon

        Could we be doing Toney to Alvarez next week instead?

        Hm, look at that bench again. What's the ridiculous part? I see one sub that can make an impact and that's Bernardo. And they only miss two players.
