    Anyone know why Gabriel was benched this week? Haven't seen anything to explain, was it just a rest?

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Apparently himself and Odegaard were rested.

      Pretty much all the reports I’ve seen say it’s just a rest but it’s worrying that he’s not started again

        At least they didn't play a different system, it was a like for like replacement wasn't it. But yea, considering he's not played every game so far, a rest seems a little odd.

          I think Arteta saw this game as a good opportunity for to give some minutes to some squad players, hence Kiwior and ESR getting starts. I'd still imagine Gabriel is first choice in most games, but it's certainly not ideal for owners as he could be rotated out again from time to time

            All the more reason to keep a decent 4th Defender for rotation just in case I guess.

      @fpl_tactician
      People need to relax about Gabriel.

      I’m sure he plays full games against West Ham, Newcastle and Sevilla.

      Yes he might miss Burnley because it’s easy but I’m sure he plays the other ones.

        2 years, 1 month ago

        I'm sure you're right. I only asked as thought maybe there was more to it than just rotation and rests.

    Up to 92k, think this is my best start to the season ever.

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years

      Nice one.

    3. RICICLE
      • 3 Years

      Nice one man!
      A much better start from me so far this season as well, crept just inside 100k at 98k right now, very pleased with the season so far.

      1. faux_C
        • 13 Years

        Great work! Hope we can keep it going.

        Nice work

  3. Coaly

    Best move?

    a) JWP to Hwang
    b) Gabriel to Tsimi
    c) Both

    2FT

    1. Coaly
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Or JWP Andersen to Mitoma Tsimi

    2. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      C.

      1. Eightball
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Can you do JWP to Mitoma without the other move? I like crystal palaces next 3.

        1. Coaly
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 1 month ago

          Need to free up 0.3 somewhere

    3. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Don't lose Anderson. Gabriel will get his place back. Consider saving for Estupinan if necessary.

      Hwang has been very lucky considering how may shots he's taken and Wolves may not be as creative without Neto.

      JWP does need to go. Any money in the bank? Would be looking at Szoboszlai for 7m if possible.

      1. Coaly
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        I like Andersen but doesn’t seem like too much of a sacrifice / downgrade to move to Tsimi

        Need funds to change JWP

        1. Bartowski
          • 15 Years
          2 years, 1 month ago

          Could just go Adingra.

          1. Coaly
            • 13 Years
            2 years, 1 month ago

            Much lower xGi

    Was there ever a UK bank holiday for Halloween?

    1. Eightball
      • 5 Years

      no

    Rough with the Smooth, Gameweek 10.

    How did your Gameweek go?

    You can share your tales of joy and woe here.

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

      Rough:

      Benching Mbeumo
      Selling Foden
      First time owning Watkins
      Salah C over Haaland C due to FOMO

      Smooth:

      Diaby
      Son
      Haaland I guess

    2. Pops15
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Sold Foden + Mbuemo to bring in Palmer + Mitoma and free up cash for Watkins.

      At least I avoided the Watkins capticany as I was also toying with that as well.

    3. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      ROUGH
      Worst weekend for a long long time...massive FOMO led me to do... Mbeuemo/Haaland (13/32) out - 45pts Salah/Nketiah (16/17) in for -4 Didn't play Nketiah so ACTUALLY got 14pts for Salah and Mitoma
      31 pt swing the wrong way

    4. jack88
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Rough : ignored salah for one more week, captained watkins instead of haaland
      Joy : mbuemo came in for gabriel

    5. Qaiss
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Rough:

      Sold Nunez for Watkins and also bought Havertz

      Smooth:

      83 points and captained Haaland. Diaby’s haul was also cool

    6. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Rough

      Gabriel (combined with Porro who took his place losing CS last minute)

      Smooth

      All went right after Diaby goal and then Salah (c) goal.

    7. The Pep Revolution
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Sold Haaland, Botman and Gordon to Alvarez, Trippier and Saka.

      Realised my massive mistake and am going to take a hit to get Haaland back in, then keep him until the end of the season.

    8. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Smooth. 130k green up to 800k

      Rough. Done Son and Darwin to Saka and Watkins with 2ft’s, cost myself 12 points with them moves

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

      Rough:
      - All three players transfered in blanked
      - Trippier doughnut?

      Smooth:
      - All three players transferred out blanked
      - Haaland/Salah/Son/Diaby
      - Taylor auto-sub for Gabriel

    10. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Smooth - held onto my WC and still got a decent green arrow. Rough, I'm a Man Utd fan

    11. Diesel@007
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Rough:
      Sold Mbeumo (13) and Son (10) for Bowen (2) and Saka (6) for a hit.
      Braintwaite (8) on the bench
      FOMO (C) Salah over instinct Haaland

      Not much smooth:
      Kept faith in Diaby (13)
      Almost got Watkins in for another hit - thought better of it 🙂

      Ended up with 71pts - could have been 100+ if I played the cards differently (I know, coulda, woulda, shoulda....)

    12. tajulariff
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      58points
      Hojlund (c)

    13. Casual Player
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      SMOOTH:
      After blowing out from 400k to nearly 1.2m over last 2 GWs, managed to halve rank back to about 550k in 1 GW. Rollercoaster season.

      Slightly sketchy parts of team - Schar instead of Trippier, Zinc instead of any other Ars defender - went good

      Mbeumo! I was already getting rid of Rash and Foden, so not really skill

      ROUGH:
      I guess Adingra punt not paying off... yet?

      Haaland was my 3rd choice captain, and Salah still returned, so can't call that rough.

    14. Sheffield Wednesday
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Rough: Third week in a row getting captaincy choice wrong between Haaland, Salah & Son. 0pts from double Newcastle defence.

      Smooth: Mbeumo returns another double digit haul. Green arrow.

    15. Wirtzel Gummidge
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      72 pts 3.5m>3.2m OR.

      Smooth: 2ft of Sterling/Bruno > Son/D Luiz worked out well, Pickford+Walker bench jam.

      Rough: Salah c instead of Haaland. Trips 0.

    16. snow pea in repose
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Smooth: keeping Diaby
      Rough: not captaining Haaland

    17. lugs
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      nearly all smooth,
      Haaland(c), Brantwaite subbing in for Gabriel, took a -8 with the 3 incoming players getting only 10pts between them, but outgoing players only getting 5, so finished on 85-8 for the week 🙂

    18. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      All rough due to my transfer decisions. 8 million GW rank. Fallen to 1.2 million OR and will drop to 1.5 million given the hits I'm taking this week. Can't bring myself to look at what my green arrow would have been if I hadn't done any FTs.

    19. House Frey Wedding Planner
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Rough - Selling Haaland and Foden as part of a -4 for Watkins and Saka, yellow cards for 4 of my players this week.

      Smooth - Well the Friday night game was nice.

    20. SlipVertonghen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Rough:
      Sold Haaland and Diaby for Salah and Watkins
      Captained Watkins
      60pt game week

      Smooth:
      Darwin return

    21. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Pretty rough overall.
      Porro in for the benched Gabriel lost cs in last minute.
      Michael Oliver happened to be VAR in the Manchester Derby.
      Newcastle taken their toll by injuries
      Taylor scores..
      Mitoma blanks.

    22. AllGonePozzo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Rough:

      Did Son and Morris to Mitoma and Watkins which is -8 swing on it's own but made worse captained Watkins instead of Salah which would have done if hadn't got Watkins in so -14 on those moves. Having to go Kabore deep after Udogie new plus Trippier 0 pointer

      Smooth:

      Diaby 13 pointer saved me still a red but could have been a lot worse. 59 points down 400k to 1.6 million

  6. g40steve
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Worth it?

    Bowen & Tripps > Son & Tsimikas -4?

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      No.

    2. Eightball
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      I like the moves but not really for a -4

  7. TorresMagic™

    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Last Man Standing GW10 (1110 teams)

    Safety score = 55
    Top score = 98

    93 teams to be removed, 1017 teams through to GW11.
    Will probably reopen the league on Tuesday.

    Saka+ trip > sala+ tsim?

    Got haaland watkins son

    1. Eightball
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Not a big fan of losing Saka but Salah is better. Is there a way you can do it without losing Saka?

  9. Assisting the assister
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Who to Tsimi?

    A. Burn (have Lascelles)
    B. Udogie

    No other Newcastle.

    1. Blame it on Traore
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      I'd probably do B and bank the extra change

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

    Areola (turner)
    Cash poro andersen (gabriel burn)
    Mads salah diaby bowen mitoma
    Haland watkins (archer)

    Which?

    A) poro to tsi
    B) archer to ferguson/edourad, bench mads
    C) poro archer -4 to tsi edouard, bench mads

    1. Pops15
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Wouldnt do anything that results in benching Madds. He's so influential in that Spurs side, involved in every goal and Chelsea has been horrible

  11. Fat Frank
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Which one chaps?

    A) Udogie to Tsimikas

    B) Lamptey or Mitchell to a playing fodder (max 4.0)

    C) Save FT and hope all of Trippier, Cash & Udogie play

    Thanks

      A

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      I really think you ought to consider your GW10 moves. You're not giving everyone the full picture.

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

        *GW12

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

        As in rest of team?

      3. Fat Frank
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        I’ve looked at GW12 fixtures and the main moving parts of my team (triple Villa) have Fulham at home, so can’t see I’d want to move much that week, maybe Mbeumo out for someone as they have Liverpool away

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

          Trippier away at Bournemouth and Haaland, Salah, Son & Alvarez are main stayers regardless of fixtures

    4. Casual Player
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Wait for more info, then decide between C and A. I don't think you can make this decision now.

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

        Thanks

  12. Blame it on Traore
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone considering Szoboszlai? 7m and great fixtures. Could be a nice differential over the next several gameweeks.

    Sorry - posted this on an old thread by mistake in the first instance!

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      I think there's better mid options for 7m or less.

      1. Blame it on Traore
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        I just wonder if he's starting to find his stride now. He's got so much technical quality.

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

          Could be a nice differential, for Pool I can just see Salah and no other reliable option

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

      Not for me, better options at 7

    3. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Definitely worth considering. Great fixtures, regular starter, stats are good (equivalent to Diaby and Bowen) and passes the eye test

    4. Make FPL Casual Again
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Naah look at his return history this season..

      Unless something major has changed...

    5. Ballzit
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      I bought him over international break before GW 8, and then saw that I was right when I watched the game last week.

      Look at how good he was for his first PL games, and then you can see the potential to find another level and to score points a bit like Odegaard did last season. Yesterday was superlative, though it won’t be quite that good against a better opponent of course. Also seems pretty unbenchable for Klopp.

  13. Intinny
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Top 2k for the first time after years of playing. Never had Trippier, never had Watkins. You can't have them all, definitely my most patient season transfers wise. Changed captain Haaland last minute to Salah. It's a funny old game

    1. gellinmagellan

    Areola Turner
    Cash Udogie Burn Kabore Taylor

    2 FY 0.4 ITB. Any suggestions on what I should do here?!

  15. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Massive mistake transferred Haaland out to get Salah in...

    Worth a -4 again to get Halland back?

    1. Casual Player
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Depends how you do it? If it's for Salah, Son, Saka - maybe not worth it.

      How faulty was your process, really? When you made the decision was it for 1 week or for, say, 4 or 6 weeks? Will it be a mistake again if Haaland blanks GW11?

  16. The Pep Revolution
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Trying to get in Haaland.

    Turner Areola
    Trippier Cash Burn Udogie Kabore
    Salah Son Maddison Bowen Saka
    Alvarez Watkins Archer

    Trippier to Tsimikas
    Maddison to Hee Chan
    Alvarez to Haaland

    Would mean an 8 point hit but should pay off.
    What do you think?

    1. FantasyClub
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      8 point hit for Alvarez out doesn’t sit well with me when it could easily be him hauling next GW

  17. 1912 F.A Cup Winners

    Who do we play next week here folks??

    A- Turner(Villa at home)
    Or
    B- Areola(Brentford away)

    Cheers everyone!!

  18. Moxon
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Trippier + Maddison --> Baldock + Salah (-4) gives me the below

    Areola
    Cash | Udogie | Gabriel
    Salah | Son | Saka | Mitoma
    Haaland | Watkins | Alvarez

    Flekken | Kabore | Baldock | Anderson

    Worth the risk?

    1. Strike me a Gakpose
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Very weak bench but I don’t have Salah either and it’s killing my rank

  19. Strike me a Gakpose
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Hi, I need help getting Salah into this team pls, 2FT.

    Areola Turner
    Trippier Cash Gvardiol Lascelles Udogie
    Son Saka Maddison Mbuemo JWP
    Haaland Alvarez Watkins

    A) Trippier, JWP & Saka -> Salah, Tsimikias, 4.3mid -4.
    Not ideal dropping Saka but would get him in a few weeks after Newcastle.

    B) Haaland & JWP -> Salah & Wilson/Nunez.

    C) Trippier & JWP -> Tsimikas & Jota and pray Jota can keep up with Salah

    D) Trippier, JWP, Saka/Maddison, Alvarez -> Tsimikas, Salah, Nketiah, Gordon/Palmer -8

    Any other suggestions??:)

      Tough one - is there a -4 option involving Alvarez > Nketiah and Trips > Tsimi?

      1. Strike me a Gakpose
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Yes, but only if I take out Son for Salah :/

        1. Indio
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 1 month ago

          Might be way to go... you have Maddy, and can't have 'em all! (Guessing Alvarez > Archer and playing 2 up top doesn't free enough?)

  20. Indio
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    What's my best move here please? (1 FT; 0.3 itb)

    1) Burn, JWP > Taylor and Diaby -4
    2) Burn, JWP > Tsimi and Mitoma -4
    3) Burn > Tsimi and sort JWP next week?
    4) Something else?

    Areola
    Cash, Trips, Tark
    Salah, Son, Saka, Gordon, JWP
    Haaland, Alvarez
    (Archer, Burn, Kabore)

    239% red arrow. Think that’s a record

      Jesus that’s harsh - sorry. From what rank to what rank?

      1. Scots Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        34k to 117k.

        On the face of it, not the end of the world this early in the season, but shows the risks of no Haaland and going against EO.

        1. The Big Fella
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah I assumed you had a good rank to get a change that large. You’ll make it back up. Yeah massive risk going without especially when all the ghost teams have him too and probably as captain

  22. The Big Fella

    Best Neto replacement up to £5.9m?

    1. Indio
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Douglas Luiz, Hee Chan, Gordon... or possibly a case for Palmer and change depending rest of team?

      1. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah I was thinking Luiz or Gordon. Hwang I am less certain about because I question how well the team will play without Neto. I’ll need to think about it. Thanks!

    Darwin hasn’t been such a bad Haaland replacement so far past 3 weeks

  24. GE
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Udogie -> Tsimikas now to catch 0.2 price change?
    Or wait and see?
    Maybe Zinchenko or Guehi better? (max 5.1)

    1. GE
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Have Cash

  25. FDMS All Starz
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Roll FT or get Son/a defender in?

    (1FT & 0.2itb)
    Pickford
    Cash Estu Gvardiol
    Salah Maddison Gordon Diaby Saka
    Haaland Watkins

    Sterling Neto > Diaby Mitoma (-4)?

    1. FantasyClub
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Looks good to me

    2. Kay317
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Yea

    Luton (A) with a low block BRE (H) then City (A) don’t exactly look like great fixtures for Pool. Salah kinda getting lucky really although he obviously gets himself in those positions

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

      Nah I think it’s just a tad overthinking, Liverpool should win the Luton and Brentford games they way they’re playing, the look exciting like they’re enjoying it again

      1. FantasyClub
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Not saying they gonna lose but can you see hauls?

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

          I think I can against Luton for sure, can see them capitulating, Brentford will put up a sterner test but still fancy pool to edge that one.

        Salah also tends to score v city

  28. Elijah's Wood

    I was pretty dead set on removing Diaby so I can upgrade Soucek but now not sure. 2 FTs, £0m in the bank

    Areola
    Trippier Cash Tsmikas
    Salah Son Madison Diaby Soucek
    Haaland Watkins

    Turner Udogie Archer Taylor

    Any thoughts?

    1. Fellaini's Fro
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Diabys an easy hold until GW13 at the earliest I think.
      Souceks got easy fixtures too but if wanting say a Mitoma, I'd lose Trippier

  29. Fat Frank
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Wonder if that’s Turner’s time up after the terrible error today

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

      It certainly doesn’t earn him any stars, I can see this new keeper getting a game before the break at least

  30. William.gallant

    Exact value to do Porro + Neto —> Tsimikas and Mitoma for a -4, thoughts?

    How did Mitoma look today?
