    Leno Areola
    Saliba Zinch Porro Taylor Baldock
    Salah Son Buemo Saka Hwang
    Haaland Alvarez Archer

    Best move here with 1 FT, 0.8 ITB

    A Hwang to Gordon
    B Hwang to Palmer
    C Baldock to 4.5 defender (4-4-2 this week), keep Hwang for gw 15 and 16
    D Save FT, start Archer ahead of Hwang
    E Other

    1. DeeJazz

      I will think about option C and transfer Lascelles, Ait Nouri or Colwill instead of Baldock.

    Best team in the country are finally top of the league!

    1. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      That was true about 30 minutes ago.

    2. Bushwhacker

      Luckiest perhaps.

    The amount of criticism Saka gets as an FPL option… 11 g+a in 12 games

    1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Just saw so many comments saying he’s ‘not worth the money’ or ‘this is his last chance’

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      I think people have silly expectations of him from a purple patch he had last year.

  4. Bushwhacker

    Have to wonder when Arsenal’s luck will run out this season. Same as last?

    1. Philosopher's Stones
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      More solid and controlling games this season rather than last season's aggressive football which wasn't sustainable. Arsenal's dominance this season is here to stay.

      1. Bushwhacker
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Fortune and fixtures will turn though.

  5. Tinmen
    • 12 Years

    Folks, is Doku to much of a risk?

    Gordon maybe the safer option

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Gordon definitely safer.

  6. FPL Sanky
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Play Archer against BUR or Taylor against SHU?

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

      Second

  7. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Fairly set on Alvarez 4.3 to Mbeumo Semenyo, or would you consider Gordon/Isak in instead of Mbeumo?

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

      I did alverez and anderson to semenyo and mbeumo last week. Would do it again now, I think he has some points in him over the next few weeks.

  8. GoonerSteve
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    I was very close to doing Cash to Zinchenko. 43 pts with 5 to play so still pretty sold.

  9. panda07
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Was Palmer injured or was his substitution tactical?

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

      Took off straight after the red card. Tactical.

      1. panda07

        Thanks mate

  10. DeeJazz
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    I wonder about transfer out Bowen but I wonder if should I bring Gordon first or Sterling/Palmer ? Also plan in GW 15 out Cash and transfer in someone from Chelsea defense, but at now I don't know who should I take. (Disasi, Badiashile, Cucurella or Thiago Silva)

    1. NorCal Villan
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      You sure you want to bring in Chelsea defense?

      1. The Knights Template
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Especially with Mengi firing!

  11. RamboRN
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Areola (turner)
    Myko trips tsim ( kaboure, digne)
    Son salah bowen soucek mbeumo
    Haaland Watkins (semenyo)

    0.4 itb. 1ft.
    Was always planning to do soucek to palmer this week but with soucek getting a couple returns on the bounce I dunno if it is wise now?

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

      You must have great team value to have Trippier in as well as Salah and Haaland. I have a similar team (no Trippier though) and I am not getting rid of Bowen - they have 5 relatively easy matches coming up. You could see how he does for the next 2GWs and then think about bringing him in for Chelsea's turn in fixtures if Soucek doesn't look up to it.

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

        Very easy to afford those two with two cheap defenders, my team below is doing great though.

        Areola
        Trippier Gabriel Udogie
        Salah Son Saka Mbeumo Palmer
        Haaland Watkins
        Turner Archer Taylor Baldock

      Hold on Souschef 9 goals in last 18 games for club & country he on a roll

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

    Thinking Bowen + Chukwemeka >Palmer + Saka

    Exact money so go for it?

    1. Connor's Calling
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Pretty decent upgrade with Saka so think prob worth it - Altho losing Bowen vs Luton not ideal clearly if he’s back

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

      Yep gamble that Bowen isn’t ready so could backfire but as you say probably worth it

  13. Connor's Calling
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Not going with Gordon over Palmer on WC last week has hurt. As has sticking with James (despite advice on here to stay clear - thanks / should have listened!)

    A) James -> 5.3m Def (maybe Porro?)

    B) James & Palmer -> Gordon & 4.7m (not sure who!) [-4]

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

      You don't need to sell Palmer. He's got fab fixtures coming up. Gordon -and- Palmer is an option...

      1. Connor's Calling
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks - that’s helpful (and actually what I had all week, before deciding to get Mbeumo instead….)

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years

      Roll FT

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

      I would keep him with this nice patch coming up. He may get more returns with Jackson and Nkunku coming back. I have Gordon FYI.

    4. Headers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Hold on James lovely fixture run on his return

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

    Decided not to bring in Saliba for Cash this week and wait until next week. Despite Bowen not playing, I am pretty pleased with my week so far and have jumped up quite a few places. My plan was to sell Cash for Saliba, Watkins for Darwin and then Turner for Sanchez in time for their nice. After Chelsea got battered today, is this still a good plan? I didn't watch the match.

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      There aren't many clean sheets flying about anyway, so I'm fine with getting the cheap keeper with the best fixtures. I'll also go Turner to Sanchez in GW15 and rotate him with Areola

      The "best long-term GK" changes every two/three GWs now, and that's pretty tiring. Maybe that's Alisson and Pope, but I won't pay that much

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

        Yeah I am in the same boat as you re. Allisson and Pope. I am wondering if Darwin is worth it for Watkins who has been steady most of the season as that is how I am going to finance the move.

        1. Ze_Austin
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 1 month ago

          I wouldn't drop Watkins while fit, especially going into rotation/flag season

          It might even be a reason to keep starting Areola if there's no other route to the Sanchez funds

          That said, those are some great fixtures lined up for Darwin. I understand the temptation

          Let's see how Watkins does vs Spurs and then maybe something else might stand out

          1. The Big Fella
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 29 days ago

            Trickier now he has scored! Cash is going for Saliba though.

    2. GoonerSteve
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      I nearly bought in Zinchenko for Cash this week. 9pts down so far.

  15. ididnt
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone watch Bournemouth today? Annoyed at the Solanke blank in a good win. How involved was he? Is he worth holding?

    1. CherryBoys
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 29 days ago

      110% and 110%!!

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

    Keepers Turner & Areole worth swapping one out?

    Turner > Sanchez

    Areole > Onana or Raya

    1. notlob legin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Personally goalkeeper transfers are just for wildcard. Hardly any are keeping clean sheets.

  17. WVA
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Mbeumo over Gordon was a horrible call

    1. notlob legin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      until next week........

    2. syke63
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Luton at home next week. He had an effort cleared off the line today too.

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

        Trippier and Mbeumo both missing returns by millimetres in the same gw, unfortunately it's all just luck

    Hi this my first year playing. Curious as to other’s experience with the projected line up’s on this site. Two weeks in a row now I have been burned quite badly. Not complaining about the owners of the site but is it your experience that this information should be used with caution?

    1. notlob legin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      In my experience the predicted line ups on here are the best. There will always be mistakes but overall Neale and the team are better than any other sites

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

      Yes they're predicted line ups based on guesswork & press conferences whereamagers often hide info & sometimes flat out lie (like areteta or howe) don't use them to make transfer/key decisions

    3. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Summary: they are predictions, not prophesies. Long version below

      They are predictions based on the available data

      Coaches and clubs aren't very reliable with said available data, these days

      So the prediction could be based on what the coach said in a press conference, but then the same coach may have hidden or been dishonest about a player's injury... Then the player would be predicted to start but end up benched or out of the squad

      Or, alternatively, a late fitness test can rule a player in/out but that fitness test happened after the press conference; so all we had to go on was the chance/"doubt" that was announced

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

      Got Gordon & Lascelles laughing with 20 points on my bench!!

      Played Gordon previously & benched Palmer.

    5. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      All info has to be used with caution as managers either are reluctant or out and out lie in press conferences ; and that’s what we have to go on here or anywhere.

  19. syke63
    • 12 Years

    Al Hilal in 9-0 today in the Saudi league. It's their ninth win in row since Neymar got injured which shows he was just a luxury signing.

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

      Did people think he would be essential? Surely that league is all about luxury signings

    Early thoughts on this lot?

    2FT 0.9 ITB

    Areola
    Gabriel Cash Tsimikas
    Salah Son Bowen Diaby Gordon
    Haaland Watkins

    Turner Archer Kabore Botman

    1. notlob legin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      What are your thoughts?

      Bowen to Mbeumo possibly depending on his injury update (which we may not get) that would allow you to upgrade Botman to a more likely starter over the busy schedule the following week

      1. Gazza2000
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Mbeumo and Saka both on my watchlist. Can’t get them both that easy unfortunately.

  21. Shultan
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    36 YCs shown today
    Wonder if that's some sort of record

  22. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Thinking about doubling up on Arsenal defense. Good idea?!

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Got a pretty easy run through February .. so yeah.

  23. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    I know it’s Sheffield United, but Semenyo was very impressive today, involved in all things good for Bournemouth - from what the highlights showed

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

      Yep, I'm going for him rather than Archer for something different

    2. im1974
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Swap crap for crap if you must. Semenyo is AFCON bound

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

    Who do you think wins the following three Head to Heads:

    A. 27 with Watkins, Martinez and Pau still to play
    B. 37 with Udogie

    1. 27 with Cash and Son
    2. 37 with Udogie

    X. 33 with Maguire and Cash
    Y. 37 with Udogie, Son and Hee Chan

  25. DMP

    Any news on Bowen?

    1. notlob legin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      He's injured??

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Moyes said it was game day decision and he tends not to talk porkies .. so likely back next week.

      1. notlob legin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        My personal opinion (and it is just that) is that if he has a knee injury hell be out for a while and will be carefully managed- I am an owner as well

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

          lol

          1. notlob legin
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 1 month ago

            Why LOL - just my opinion

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

          “Knee injury” covers a lot of possible scenarios. I don’t think you can conclude anything other than what the manager has said

          1. notlob legin
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 1 month ago

            He withdrew from the England squad and it was reported earlier in the week from ex West Ham employee that he has water on the knee

        3. Ze_Austin
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 1 month ago

          A doctor's opinion here: a long-term knee injury is pretty clear when it's assessed, especially if any of the collateral ligaments (MCL or ACL) has been affected. What was rumored here was fluid in the knee, which is effusion. It's not a useful rumor for guessing the time scale because the causes are wide-ranging: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/swollen-knee/symptoms-causes/syc-20378129

          In other words, knee effusion is more of a sign than a diagnosis, so we don't have a prognosis based on that

          So we'll need more info or an official diagnosis to know when Bowen will be back. If they already knew the cause and ran a late fitness test today to know if the swelling had reduced enough for him to start, then that does indeed point to a minor condition (possibly irritation) being the cause

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

            Great info, thanks!

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

            It's a game that is free to play with a likelihood of winning akin to that of winning a london wide lottery. If you do win you win next to bugger all.

            I don't spend more than 20 mins on this game of chance these days. It used to take up hours a eek but it's futile.

            Game is stale and needs a rival with ultimately bigger prizes.

  26. Atimis

    2 years, 1 month ago

    Playing Taylor over Livra next week yeah?

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      I don't see what makes Man U a bad fixture for Newcastle defenders at home in both teams' current states, so it's a nope for me. I'd start Livra

      Neither Burnley nor Sheffield will sit back when they face each other, as this is a relegation 6-pointer, so I don't expect clean sheets for either

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

      Dunno. Burnley have conceded in every single game...

    3. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Cheers guys, maybe right!

  27. Viper

    Is this worth a -4?

    Eze, McAtee & Alvarez -> Mbeumo, Palmer & Semenya. (switching 3-4-3 to 3-5-2)

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

      Likely, with the Eye injury.

      Alvarez has been disappointing, obviously. Don't even want to look how much more Gordon/Palmer has scored more than him over the last 5-6

      1. mixology
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2 FTs for next week, and wanting to get Haaland back in

    A. Alvarez and Son > Haaland and Gordon (leaving nothing ITB) or
    B. Alvarez and Son > Haaland and Palmer (leaving £0.6m ITB)

    Might need to do A soon if I go for that as imagine Gordon will rise at some point before next week

    Current front 8, with £3.3m ITB is:

    Saka Salah Son Bowen Eze
    Alvarez Watkins Archer
