    Sterling or Saka to Bowen for a -4?

    1. ted mcnure
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Neither. if w/c soon, Saka..

    2. speardrops
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Nah. Both quality fixtures and Saka should get minutes if he's there.

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

    Turner (Johnstone)
    Kabore, Estu Botman (Saliba, Gusto)
    Salah, Son, Maddison, Diaby, Eze
    Alvarez Haaland (Pedro)

    IS get JWP for Eze getting a bit silly for a -8. (Already done Rash, Saka to Salah and Diaby for a -4)

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

      Yeah I’d probably stick at that. Good moves.

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

        Thanks what a -8 or just a -4

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

          Just the -4.

    2. ted mcnure
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Steady now..

    3. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Cheers

    4. speardrops
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Rash and Saka should both start against Palace (pumped 3-0 by United mid week and at home) and Bournemouth (awful defensively). Diaby has a tough fixture against Brighton and Salah you could wait a couple weeks on with it being Spurs then Brighton.

      Eze to JWP would have been better for free haha.

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

    Did Saka to Son. Hopefully will pay off over the coming weeks.

    1. speardrops
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Saka should start. Next week onwards - for sure. Luton or Man City.

  4. Bleh
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Henry to:

    A. Cash
    B. Burn

    A would mean I’d need to downgrade Ederson > Leno (-4) next week to be able to afford Odegaard > Son. With B, I wouldn’t need to take the hit.

    Other defenders are Estu, Botman, Udogie and Gusto*.

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

      tove. Burn i guess but Cash is nailed and his XG is out of this world. Could go Pau (not good this week but nice fixtures

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

        tough

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

          I’m seriously torn. Head says Burn, heart says Cash.

    2. ted mcnure
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      FT? A

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

        Thanks, yep FT.

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

      Just go B then but Cash is worth the cash with Bailley out and the fixture swing.

      Burn does have a much better fixture this week though.

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

        Thanks!

        Thing is, next week both my GKs (Ederson and Areola) have horrible fixtures so maybe Ederson > Leno (-4) would be justified? Want to free up the funds at some point!

        1. speardrops
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          If you really want to downgrade Ederson. Wait till next week and do it for Turner. Good rotation between them and the cheapest combo.

          No need at all to do it this week. Next week more info for you to mull over.

  5. Sam (Team Sam)
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    On wildcard and midfield is currently this:

    Salah, Son, Maddison, Gordon, ***

    I have 8.7m for that final slot.

    Long term I want it to be Saka.

    Would you....?

    A) start with Saka anyway

    B) Bruno for the next 3

    C) Diaby

    D) Bowen for one week

    1. ted mcnure
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      A, depending..

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

      B

    3. Sam (Team Sam)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      An addition to option D, is that I could hop between midfielders until I get Saka long term from 10.

      E.g. Bowen in 7, then Kulu in 8/9, then Saka in 10

      1. ted mcnure
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Please, step away and relax.

        1. Sam (Team Sam)
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Ha, I do need to sleep.

          You said A, but depending on what?

          1. ted mcnure
            • 15 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            Saves a ft, if you have 4 defs or 3 fwds to play

    4. speardrops
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      That's an easy Fernandes pick unless you want a WHM mid plus bank the cash.

  6. Norco
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Funds are very tight to get Son in next week without a hit.

    If I lose value on Saka and Mbuemo I can't make the move to Son. So thinking making one of the moves tonight.

    Which should I do?
    Option A
    GW7: Saka > JWP
    GW8: Mbuemo> Son

    Option B
    GW7: Mbuemo> JWP
    GW8: Saka > Son

    1. ted mcnure
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Both for a hit, obv

    2. Bleh
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      A

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

      Both could go wrong. At a push I would go Mbuemo to JWP since we have pictures of Saka at Bournemouth (which at least means minutes).

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

    Is there a reason, why, on the captaincy vote, Diaby is above Bowen?

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

      more people here own diaby ofc.

      1. speardrops
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        This. Bowen easily the better pick this week, by quite a distance for underliers, form, fixture and proven prem ability.

  8. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Start Turner (BRE) or Sanchez (ful)?

    1. ted mcnure
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Sanch

    2. speardrops
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I'd go Sanchez. Jiminez no goals in 27 PL appearances. Chelsea good defensively (don't laugh).

  9. speardrops
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    I have just seen Az's WC team on BlackBox. Why did he not just stick this week haha? The pre wildcard team all had solid games and almost as many flags anyway.

    Anyways, good luck to Az with it and to Andy on his mental Free Hit.

    1. Norco
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Hilarious episode though, top bin banter.

      1. speardrops
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Yes = qual ep, enjoyable.

    2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      The combination of the vote from the chat, and the rating on plan FPL nearly made Az cry.

  10. boroie
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Last decision… which to bench…

    A - Eze(mun)
    B - Walker(wol)
    C - Estu(avl)

    1. Jafooli
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      C

    2. speardrops
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Difficult...

      Not Walker, Wolves are trash. So, Eze at a push.

    3. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      c

  11. Jafooli
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Team Value = Evergrande this GW…

    1. ted mcnure
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      However, overall, rank.

      1. Jafooli
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        OR = Lehman Brothers

        1. ted mcnure

          J Arthur..

          1. Jafooli
            • 13 Years

            Ha, got it now, read ‘overall rank’ rather than ‘overall, rank’

  12. Emp
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Any word on saka ?

    1. speardrops
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Pictured signing things at Bournemouth. So likely minutes at the very least.

  13. The Mastermind
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Any help appreciated… 6 Players flagged and used FT. Was planning on using WC in GW9 but tempted now

    0.9 ITB

    Onana - (Areola)
    Botman - Estu - Beyer - (Chilwell) - (Gusto)
    Saka - Maddison - Son - Mitoma - Jota
    Haaland - Alvarez - (Pedro)

    Saka, Madds, Son, Botman all doubts, Chilwell Gusto confirmed out.

    Is Saka + Chilwell > Bowen + Trippier (-8) worth it?

    Any suggestions at all appreciated.

    1. speardrops
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Surely you are playing Areola (United fan). He has Sheffield United, United have Palace and are in worse form.

      Jota is an odd pick. Pedro and him are the bigger issues I'd say after the Saka pics.

      Chilwell to Trippier and bench Jota. Or Jota to JWP/Bowen.

      Pedro to Morris isn't bad if you are wildcarding soon (benching Jota).

      1. The Mastermind
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Not enough $$$ for Chilwell > Trippier

        Chilwell + Jota > Trippier + Bowen?

        1. speardrops
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          It looks great but, that would be for -8 and you would have to bench Estu. It's a nice gamble but I don't like a minus 8 to bench Estu.

          If you want both players long term and aren't wildcarding - yes.

          Otherwise just do one of them:

          Jota > Hammer

          or

          Chilwell > WHM DEF / NEW DEF

    2. ted mcnure
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      -4 max. Gutso to Cash play 4 4 2
      as for flags, fingers crossed

  14. Jafooli
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Reckon this will get 11 starters/bench correct order?

    Onana
    Saliba* - Estupinan - Botman*
    Salah - Rashford - Saka* - Eze
    Haaland - Alverez - Morris

    Turner - Sarr - Udogie - Gusto*

    Running on vapour big time!!!!

    1. speardrops
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Looks fine and the right order.

      1. Jafooli
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks Speardrops, cross fingers time….

        1. speardrops
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Good luck, Jafooli. Eze - Forest next week then you can take him out before Saudi Park away.

          1. Jafooli
            • 13 Years
            2 years, 2 months ago

            Being trying to ship Eze since GW2 lol…

    2. ted mcnure
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      TC Morris should make it up

      1. Jafooli
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Expecting nothing from him lol…

  15. Bleh
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Play Ederson (WOL) or Areola (SHU)?

    1. speardrops
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Man City playing away. Anyway, I'd go Areola. Wolves are awful though.

    2. BROOKLYN GOONER
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Can’t imagine ever going with Ederson…always think he’ll get zero saves, one shot on target, one goal conceded

    3. Bleh
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Thanks both!

  16. Nightf0x
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Which?

    A) saka rash -4 to salah doucore
    B) saka rash -4 to son mitoma/march/bowen/jwp

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

      Keep Rash. Saka to Bowen for free

    2. speardrops
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Saka has Bournemouth and was pictured.

      Rashford has Palace and will start.

      Neither. Or Saka to WHM mid at a push. Definitely not March.

      1. Nightf0x
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        March will haul this gw

      2. Nightf0x
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Saka wont start imo

  17. Jafooli
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Such a painful GW, time to just suffer?

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

      These are the ones that yield surprise green arrows

    2. Bleh
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I’m thinking it just might be, but tbh this whole season has been a shambles for me so far.

    3. toerag
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      awful

    4. speardrops
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Just fraudulent press conferences, don't worry about it unless your team is a rotation mess.

    5. ted mcnure
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Same as the other weeks..

  18. Tcheco
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    A. Watkins & Gordon

    B. Alvarez & Diaby

    1. speardrops
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      B. I think Diaby is too early and prefer WHM mids.

    2. Buck The Trent
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      B

  19. Letsgo!
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Chances of saka coming off the bench?

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

      Depends on whether he starts on the bench & how the game is going. I got rid

    2. speardrops
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      If he is benched then very likely if they are not winning. No reason for him to travel if Arteta doesn't plan to use him/is actually injured.

      I'd say 75-80% chance of appearing based on the rubbish info we have.

    3. ted mcnure
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      On bench for me

  20. The Mastermind
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Tempted for a two week punt on Bruno…

    Is this crazy?

    Saka + Chilwell > Trippier + Bruno (-8)

    I think Bruno gets more points over next two GW than Bowen

    1. Buck The Trent
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Bowen 4 returns, 2 blanks on 6 GWs so far

      1. Buck The Trent
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        *in

    2. speardrops
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Saka out before Bournemouth isn't but over the next 3 weeks he gets outscored by at least 4 via Fernandes.

      I'd just do the Trippier move if your bench sucks.

      1. speardrops
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        *isn't a great time for the move,

        1. The Mastermind
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Fair point, I’m still worried about his minutes tbh

          I haven’t got the money for a Trippier -4.

          I could do;
          A - Chilwell > ???? (-4)
          B - Chilwell + Jota > Bruno + Trippier (-8)

  21. Buck The Trent
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Start Kabore (DGW) or Maddison (liv)?

    I am playing Son, fwiw

    1. speardrops
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Maddison personally but who are you playing over him at the back?

      1. Buck The Trent
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        If I take the transfer hits, the defence would be Trippier Botman Cash Kabore

        1. speardrops
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          I would bench Cash.

          Play Kabore and Maddison, Cash 1st bench.

  22. Il Capitano
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    0FT 0.6m ITB

    Onana
    Botman Kabore Gvardiol
    Rashford Bruno Saka Maddison Bowen
    Haaland Alvarez

    Turner - Estupinan Chilwell Mubama

    Stick as is?

    1. speardrops
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Yes looks good for this week! Chilwell a stinker there though, needs to be K Tripz.

      1. Il Capitano
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Got the WC in the bag to help amend issues like Chilly, might look at GW8 to use it in fairness, defence looks proper cack next GW

        Semenyo brace, to shove it right up us Morris owners back passage….

  24. nerd_is_the_werd
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Money no object, who to bring in for the next 2 GWs:

    a) Fernandes
    b) Rashford

    1. Buck The Trent
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      F

    2. speardrops
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Difficult one. I like Fernandes due to potential deeper blocks coming up and two home games.

      Whoever you prefer.

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

      Neither

      1. Bleh
        • 8 Years

        This.

  25. Bleh
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Right, FT done. How am I looking? Mbeumo > JWP worth a -4 or nah?

    Areola
    Estu, Botman, Burn
    Salah, Odegaard, Maddison, Mbeumo, Mitoma
    Haaland, Alvarez

    (Ederson, Udogie, Semenyo, Gusto*)

      Mbuemo has 90 mins, pens and Forest. Not for a hit. Next week maybe.

      Looks good.

    Gordon seems an amazing pick on a wildcard?

    1. speardrops

      Not massively proven but he is probably the best sub 6 mil pick in the game right now.

      Yellow card ban is a worry.

      JWP, Diaby and Bowen def better but obviously more.

    Yay or Nay

    Saka > Odegaard -4??

      nay

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

      Hell no

    3. speardrops

      No way. Plus Odegaard's fixtures stink next week onwards anyway so fairly pointless unless you dead end this very week.

    play one:
    A Wissa (nfo)
    B Eze (mun)

    1. speardrops

      Tough. I'd say Wissa for sure if Eze wasn't on pens. Wissa for me but it's not an easy one.

    The Burnley chances created conceded heatmap looks really good for Gordon...
    Just not sure if worth a -4 and wary of the 5 YCs!

    1. speardrops

      Classic Sun Jihai.

      He's a risk for sure given he hasn't done that much and the looming suspension. But it's one of those low end risks.

      Not like a 9 mil DIego The Psycho Costa risk for example. But Gordon puts some poor challenges in still.

    This group think wildcard is as wild as tea and scones with the fodens. If you are going to copy a team try this beast on for size
