    Onana
    Botman, Chilwell, Estu
    Son, Rashford, Bruno, Saka,
    Haaland, Alvarez, Morris
    Turner, Mbeumo, Gusto, Beyer

    0FT, 0.2 ITB

    Did Mubama to Morris without thinking much and now i can't get to Trippier.
    A - Chilwell, Mbeumo -> Trippier, Gordon (-8)
    B - WC
    C - G2G
    D - your suggestions

    1. Big Mike
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      It depends on how quickly you want to get to Trippier. If you want him straightaway, then I'd wildcard rather than take a -8.

    2. Wet Bandits
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      -8 isn’t great.. but I wouldn’t WC. Anything -12 + then possibly

  2. CRAZY TRAIN
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Pickford
    Estupinan Botman Kabore
    Salah Saka Son Maddison Eze
    Haaland Alvarez

    (Baldock Orsula Gusto)

    1) Baldock > Cash
    2) Eze > Bowen
    3) 1 & 2 for -4
    4) WC

    1. Big Mike
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      2

      1. CRAZY TRAIN
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks. That’s the move that I’m preferring. Likely to WC gw8 so Bowen offers best points potential.

  3. Slitherene
    • 7 Years

    Who is Burn's backup?

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Targett

    2. I Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Targett. Maybe Hall.

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Forgot about Hall, yeah him.

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

          Where was Hall playing today with Burn on the field?

          1. Twisted Saltergater
            • 16 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            Hall came on for Bruno G, so I think they went to a back 3/5.

    3. Bobby Crush
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Targett and Hall

    Pickford
    Kabore Chilwell Estupinan
    Son saka rashford mbeumo sterling
    Haaland Alvarez
    Turner Pau Mcatee * Shaw*
    1.2M ITB, 1 FT
    A)Shaw—-> trippier
    B)Mcatee—>Morris and bench sterling
    C) Shaw + Mcatee—->Morris + Botman for -4
    Leaning towards A

    1. Big Mike
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      A, but it would leave you with a benching headache. You woud need to bench one defender or one midfielder in order to play him.

  5. I Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Going Schar over Botman as a differential hurts this week but let's see how it plays out until Wildcard. Maybe Schar gets his goal in the next couple weeks.

    1. Josh.E
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      That’s what I thought when I got Jackson over Alvarez

      1. I Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        I did that too.

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

    Estu > Burn?

    1. I Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Do you have any other Newcastle defenders? Think it's fine to sell Estupinan if you still have WC to get him back in GW10 but prefer Botman and Schar to Burn. More nailed.

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

        I have Botman

        Just looking for a cheap double up to take advantage

        WC in tact

        1. I Member
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Can you bench Estu? For me he's a hold but if you're set on it I think I prefer Schar to Burn. Targett or Hall could get a game if CL rotation sets in.

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

            Udogie on the bench

            Not adverse to Schar

    2. Big Mike
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I wouldn't. Keep Estupinan.

  7. I Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Pickford
    Chilwell, Saliba, Schar
    Rashford, Saka, B.Fernandes, Maddison, Foden
    Haaland, J.Alvarez

    Turner; Estupinan, Baldock, Osula.

    1 FT 0.2 ITB

    A) Save
    B) Chilwell -> Botman
    C) Rashford -> Son

    To be honest I think I'm going to hold. My thinking is that Chilwell starts next game and I don't want to remove Rashford before he gets his crack at the Sheffield United defence. Thoughts?

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

      you have the patience of a saint if you keep Chillwell, but i can see the logic behind it, though tbh the way Chelsea are right now i'm not sure if he outscores Botman even if he does start, keeping Rash makes sense though gl

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

      I did B. Botman is going to rise in price and we both should have ditched Chilly for a hit last week. Better late than never. He may start next week, but can you trust him after that?

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

        Very easy B imo

  8. PB-THE-VET
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Chilwell -> Botman

    Archer -> Morris

    Have exact money. Also means i have 3 Luton players (not planned) so could play bench boost and my entire sub bench has dgw?

    1. Big Mike
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Go for it but please don't bench boost. Wait until later in the season when there are double game weeks

    2. I Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Who would you be benching for Morris? Think he's a bit of a trap personally.

  9. Sheffield Wednesday
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Playing three at the back, would you bother to sell Gusto (CP 4.3, SP 4.1, PP 4.0) if you only have 4.3m for a replacement?

    Estupiñán Saliba Cash Botman Gusto*
    £0.2m 1FT

    I already face a choice of benching Cash or Estupiñán this week in the Villa v Brighton match.

    1. I Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Nah you can leave him for now.

  10. Randaxus
    • 4 Years

    This is my gameweek 9 wildcard draft

    Leno
    Saliba Botman Udogie
    Salah Son Maddison Mitoma Diaby
    Haaland Alvarez

    Areola Cash Burn Archer

    1. g40steve
      • 7 Years

      Week 7 next everything will change by then.

    2. Big Mike
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Squad looks good but you will have a benching headache every game week.l

      1. Randaxus
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        If you pick a good bench that will always happen.

  11. g40steve
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Who goes first 🙁 Jackson, Chilwell, Sterling?

    Got 1 FT but considering a hit or two?

    Considering,

    Def, Cash, Trippier (already got Botman)

    Mid, Son, JWP, Mitoma, Bowen

    Fwd, Wilson, Watkins, Morris

    1. Snake Juice
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Jackson and Chillwell out, even for a hit

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

        Which combo of players best option, team linked.

        1. Snake Juice
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Tripps for sure

          Problem with getting a Wilson or Watkins is that you won't want to bench any of your attackers next gameweek

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

            Cheers, just doing sums 🙂

    2. Big Mike

      How much money do you have to spend?

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

        1.7 itb

    3. I Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Jackson is suspended so definitely him. I think Chilwell starts against Fulham but that's just my opinion.

  12. lugs
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    good god that was brutal day, had a big green arrow and was up to around 40k at one stage earlier but having no Spurs, no Newcastle, no Villa or Mitoma, with treble Chelsea including Gusto & Chillwell who i started is after murdering my rank, now i'm around 526k 🙁

    so WC well and truly active, out go Johnstone, Chillwell, Gusto, Estupinian, Sterling, Foden, Nakamba, Hojlund,

    leaving me with this below, the DGWers will be getting a spin next gw leaving me with a bit of a benching headache for just one week, team news and gut feeling will decide the starting 11 before the deadline

    Areola
    Saliba, Akanji, Kabore
    Salah, Saka, Son, Maddison, koleosho
    Haaland, Morris

    Turner, Alvarez, Reguilon, Botman, 0itb

    1. Camzy

      Got to go double NEW defense on WC imo.

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

        i'll be honest, i never even considered to do that since i prefer to spread the risk, i'm even considering benching Botman next week cos i have a Burnley guy playing them, but that's probably blinkered thinking on my though

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

          Botman and Trippier are soon "must". With only only one you will lose points if they keep CS. EO will soon be over 130%

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

            that's actually a good point, i'll soon be threading water with just one, cheers

    2. I Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Have you already clicked the button? Your rank is perfectly fine at this stage tbh. I'm 2.2m and not even considering WC this week.

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

        yeah i hit the button, its not really the rank, its just looking at players i want or want rid of asap, so a WC now is just the easiest and quickest way to get them

        1. I Member
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Fair enough. Your WC looks good. Care to help me out above?

    3. Purse83
      • 7 Years

      Foden out?

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

        yeah mate, he's been on my chopping block for weeks, i just don't trust his gametime, plus you can't have them all

  13. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone getting Morris ? Isn’t issue then will be benching him or just sell after DGW7?

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      u could play him vs forest in 9, but yea you wont ever play him aside from that or gw7. Even in 9, maybe you wont.

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Probably have to sell a week after buying so probably a no

    2. Salarrivederci

      Gonna be my captain in next GW!

    Who are your "season keepers" at the moment? Players you won't take out no matter the fixtures barring injury or DGW

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

      Haaland Salah Saka Botman

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

        Sounds right, would add Alvarez until he starts

      2. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Botman already. You guys gonna start a curse lol

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

          At his price as long as he's fit to play, he won't go anywhere 😛

      3. Sheffield Wednesday
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        I'll sell Salah during Afcon

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

          Yeah obviously will not bench 12.5 ish

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

      Haaland, Alvarez, Foden, Bruno, Saka, Estu

      1. Opurist
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Alvarez shouldn't leave anyone's team until he leaves Pep's

    3. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Haaland
      Saka
      Maddison
      Watkins

      1. Opurist
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Watkins. You and I are of the same mind

    4. Sheffield Wednesday
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I reserve the option to bench anyone if I have credible information they may be benched that week, including Haaland.

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

        Pro tip: you can bench someone without selling them

        1. Sheffield Wednesday
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          That's not how I read the OP's definition - sure there are plenty of players I don't plan to sell.

          1. Sheffield Wednesday
            • 5 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            e.g. Areola - but he won't be in the starting lineup most weeks.

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

      Probably some Spurs as well

    6. Big Mike
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      EBH, Alvarez, Salah, Maddison, Saka, Estupinan, Cash, Botman, Pope. Injury permitting, of course.

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

      Haaland thats it

    8. Zalk
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I want one from each top team, is what I'm thinking right now.

      Haaland
      Salah
      Estupinan
      Maddison
      Saka
      Trippier

    9. Josh.E
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Haaland, Saka, Botman, Estu, Maddison

    10. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      No one. It's a stupid term, and everyone will sell all players at some point

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

        I agree. Ig Haaland gets injured or Saka loses pens and his game time, they are not season keepers. Mbeumo has been mentioned as one, for example.

        1. Sheffield Wednesday
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          The OP did state "barring injury or DGW"

          1. Cok3y5murf
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            They will be sold regardless. Come back to this thread at the end of the season for the laughs. Some of the names listed here are absolutely bonkers too.

            Even Salah in his 300-point season was sold at one point of that season by many. Season-keepers happen extremely rarely like Mahrez's debut season.

            1. Sheffield Wednesday
              • 5 Years
              2 years, 2 months ago

              I was replying to Baps Hunter stating if "Haaland gets injured". I don't disagree that any or all players can be sold - e,g, if dead ending a team before a WC etc. Did the same last season - no one was in the team for 38 weeks, though Haaland only left the team due to injury/BGW/DGW last season.

        2. Cok3y5murf
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          The fact that someone like Mbeumo was called one shows the state of this place. And this week some are considering selling him now lol. Some "season-keeper"

  16. Bevan

    Thinking of getting an Everton FWD in for Jackson for their 2 great home fixtures before WC in GW9.

    Would you go:
    1) Beto
    2) DCL

    1. OptimusBlack

      2

      2.

  17. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Could activate WC, go with:

    Areola/Turner
    Tripp/Cash/Udogie/Bot/Kabore
    Salah/Saka/Madd/Bowen/Gordon
    Haaland/Alvarez/Archer

    and 0.9ITB, thoughts?
    Hold the knees?

  18. Zalk
    • 14 Years

    Trippier has gone from 58.1 to 92.6 in the last hour on fplstatistics.co.uk.

    Chilwell to Botman or trippier ?

      It depends. If you are happy with the balance of your squad and don't need to upgrade anywhere else, then Trippier. However, if you need funds to bring in more expensive replacements, then Botman.

    Which is better ?
    A- Baldock & Mubemo >
    Botman & JWP

    B- Chilwell & Jackson
    Botman & Wilson

    C- Mubemo & Jackson >
    Bowen & Awoniyi

    D- Chilwell & Jackson >
    Tripper & Morris or DCL

    All options for -4

    1. Big Mike
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Chilwell + Mbeumo > Trippier and Bowen.

      If you can afford.

    Thoughts on punt on Chilwell to Burnley defender for two weeks before the WC ?

    1. Big Mike
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      It depends. I need to see your squad.

    All the rage aside, do you guys think chilwell could possibly start next game?
    Disasi shifting to rb, Colwill to cb and so on and so forth
    Or you guys think Caicedo slots in as rb and he gets benched again? he’s been terrible but Fulham offer nothing going forward and although Chelsea are shambolic in attack, defensively they’ve still been alright.

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I think he starts, but still worth selling. Always tricky to keep a CS away from home, no matter what the opposition.

      1. Lord of Ings
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        I’ve been burnt by Chelsea so many times that it makes me want to keep them for one more week atleast, my other option is playing Estupinan actually
        Would you start estu over chilwell? FT will be used to get trippier

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • 16 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          On paper it's Chilwell, but when you can sell for perhaps a Newcastle defender home to Burnley then it only makes sense not to if you have another burning transfer to make.

        2. Big Mike
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          I'd happily play Estupinan every week, as he's likely to return no matter who the oposition is. I agree Chelsea are ok defensively, but 5.8m is a lot to spend just for a clean sheet.

    2. I Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I think he starts exactly as you've said. I'm keeping for one more but understand why most want to sell.

      just finished 'The Chelsea Detective'. even he can't help with figuring out the shamble of a club

    To enable Chilwell to Trippier, which would you do?

    A) Alvarez to Morris
    B) Foden to JWP (0.1 off Bowen)
    C) Mbuemo to max 6.1 mid
    D) Udogie to Kabore

    Thanks all

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      None of those. Trippier is not the most important player to buy imo.

      1. Fat Frank
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Fair, but I really want him. I’m definitely buying him this week (tonight)

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

        I agree, we are one week late.

        1. Fat Frank
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          I wanted him during the week too but got blinded by finding out Foden was starting so prioritised him

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Same dilemma. Considering Sterling to JWP and follow Sheff Utd.

      1. Fat Frank
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks, yes B makes most sense to me atm, still have Alvarez for Wolves too and with Grealish back maybe Foden gametime will reduce

  26. Business Dog
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Chilwell + Saka to Kabore + Salah -4

    Exact funds and will be priced out tomorrow.

    Or just Chilwell out this week for free to Kabore or Botman (already have trippier) and work out another way to get Salah one or two weeks later with more info?

    1. I Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Saka out for a hit against Bournemouth is a hard no.

  27. Hanz0
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Anything worth a -4?

    Areola (Leno)
    Trippier Cash Estu (Udogie, Henry*)
    Saka Foden Sterling Maddison Mbeumo
    Haaland Alvarez (Jackson*)

    A.) Henry > Botman -4
    B.) Jackson > Morris -4
    C.) Jackson > Wilson -4

    all the Chilwell sellers, isn't he more likely to start now with Gusto out for 3 ?

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Yes, but at LB.

    2. I Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I think so. I expect the back four to be Disasi, Silva, Colwill and Chilwell so I'm giving him one more chance. What do you think?

      1. threeputt
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        I think....it's Chelsea.....I thought they might have been ok under Poch it seems not

        1. I Member
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          They're awful going forward but they look fine from a defensive point of view to me.

          1. threeputt
            • 16 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            yeah I thought 2 defenders under Poch was a good move, unfortunately one of them is Gusto, that's an easier transfer
