    Is it worth doing Alvarez --> Solanke for free?

    1. nerd_is_the_werd
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      Also have Haaland who could be injured, but want to catch the price rise.

        1 year, 12 months ago

        You know the risk

        1. nerd_is_the_werd
          • 6 Years
          1 year, 12 months ago

          Looking at the next 3:

          Solanke: LUT (h), NFO (a), FUL (h).
          Alvarez: CRY (h), blank, EVE (a).

          I'm just gonna assume Haaland is back after Club World Cup,
          Solanke's on penalties I think, seems like a good move.

    2. nerd_is_the_werd
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      I've just seen Alvarez is going down in price, which would cost me 0.1.
      Solanke's going up so will now definitely make the move.

    3. Total Foot 5
      • 12 Years

      I did it

    4. Total Foot 5
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      And double .2 move

    5. dunas_dog

      Not until we hear Haaland news as if he’s out for any period Alvarez a good option

      1. nerd_is_the_werd
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 12 months ago

        In the worst-case scenario, I'd just do Haaland --> Watkins if he's out for GW17, then bring him back later on.

        1. dunas_dog
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          1 year, 12 months ago

          OK but hearing admittedly rumours he may be out for a few weeks

          1. NorCal Villan
            • 3 Years
            1 year, 12 months ago

            Um, he's sick. My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Erling pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

    Would you do this for a -4?

    Darwin/Ferguson/Ahamada > Watkins/Archer/Palmer?

    Will give me the boring front of:

    Salah/Saka/Son/Gordon/Paler
    Haaland/Watkins/Archer

    No differential seems to be the only way this season right?

    1. nerd_is_the_werd
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      Seems reasonable.
      Could you bring Watkins in 1 week later?

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 12 months ago

        Bit worried I could get priced out as I got exact money for the moves. But I could keep Darwin for another week without taking the hit. Really do hate Darwin though.

        1. Total Foot 5
          • 12 Years
          1 year, 12 months ago

          So many price rise n declines tonite

          1. Royal5
            • 14 Years
            1 year, 12 months ago

            Yep

        2. nerd_is_the_werd
          • 6 Years
          1 year, 12 months ago

          Would personally just wait another week.

          Darwin could get something v MUN (h), and sell him later.
          I also hated Martinelli, and was close to rage-transferring him out but got a parting gift v LUT (h).

          So if the fixture's decent, there's a much lower risk of doing nothing, than putting the pressure on Watkins with a hit (-4).
          Just my opinion ofc.

          1. Royal5
            • 14 Years
            1 year, 12 months ago

            Thanks. Did the 2 for free and can afford a Darwin drop, so can wait with him > Watkins

    2. Total Foot 5
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      I woukd, watkins n palmer r solid..hav both

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 12 months ago

        Yeah, both play every game. Good form and fixtures.

    3. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      It doesn’t seem to be the only way if one is brave enough.

      Those moves will improve your team so yes but Haaland could be injured

  3. g40steve
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 12 months ago

    GTG, bench correct?

    less.

    Sanchez,
    Tsimikas, Colwill, Lascelles
    Salah, Son, Saka, Palmer, Gordon,
    Cunha, Haaland

    #Areola, Watkins, Saliba, Taylor

    1.4

    1. nerd_is_the_werd
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      Watkins has to start ahead of Cunha imo.
      I'd also bench Tsimikas and play Saliba or even Taylor.

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      Think you may well need to consider Haaland replacement so wait for news pre Luton game

  4. Joyce1998
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 12 months ago

    Won't be able to afford after price rises/decreases

    Alvarez + Areola >> Watkins + Sanchez

    A- Do it

    Or

    B- Hold

    1. nerd_is_the_werd
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      You're gonna do Alvarez --> Watkins for GW18 anyway right?
      Might as well do it now.

    2. Traction Engine Foot
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      I'm keeping Alvarez but I already have Watkins and won't lose sell value if he drops tonight. If Haaland is out it might be better to sell him instead. And there are other keeper options besides Sanchez. So I would probably still hold.

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      Keep Alvarez- gold if Haaland out

  5. Total Foot 5
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 12 months ago

    The amount of price rise and price declines tonite are quite nunber...

    1. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      Surprised Palmer didn’t rise… would have been priced out.

  6. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 12 months ago

    How long to price changes?

    1. nerd_is_the_werd
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      1hr 15mins I think

    2. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      13 minutes

      1. Hurnt
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 12 months ago

        Yep 01:25 usually

        1. Hurnt
          • 11 Years
          1 year, 12 months ago

          To be safe

    3. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      15 min no?

    4. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      Thanks. Transfers done. Can afford a Darwin drop.

  7. jamichael
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 12 months ago

    Fernandez to rashford worth the transfer or too sideways?

    1. nerd_is_the_werd
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      It's December 12th,
      You're just under 4 months too early.

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      Why would you want any United players?

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      Easy No

    4. Capocannonieri
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      To Rashford? You might be watching games from previous years. It's 2023, yeah?

  8. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    1 year, 12 months ago

    JWP to Gordon
    or
    DLuiz to Palmer

    1. Hurnt
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      Both gl

      1. Freshy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        1 year, 12 months ago

        never been shy to do a -0.4

        1. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          1 year, 12 months ago

          This is the way

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      Just got Palmer in, those fixures a green asf

      1. Hurnt
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 12 months ago

        Solid move

      2. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 12 months ago

        Same with Gordon tbh - bothshould be done

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      If you have Haaland hold to hear if rested tomorrow or injured

    4. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      Palmer is coming into my team so I would easily pick both.

  9. Nightf0x
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 12 months ago

    before price changes
    gross andersen -4 to :

    a) gordon or bailey (have watkins)
    b) livra/lasceles or senesi or pau or porro (have dubravka & cash)

    1. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      Bailey injured?
      Gordon/Porro for me

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 12 months ago

        You need Gordon

      2. Nightf0x
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 12 months ago

        did gordon but will keep andersen to porro tomorrow they will likely survive price changes today

      3. Nightf0x
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 12 months ago

        might do pinock to pau in 18 as for doubling new def. not to keen on it and will ignore senesi

  10. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 12 months ago

    A play Gabriel
    B bell to Porro, play borro and bench Gabriel

    Trippier and colwill other 2 defenders in 343 formation

    Cheers

    In another I just bought 3 magnums of Chateau Pontet 2011… If you know it…

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      -8?

    2. Sgt. Schultz
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      James Suckling 95 and all I think is that's quite a high GW score 🙂

      1. Warby84
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 12 months ago

        Yep stunning, the best of the 2011…

  12. Kane Train
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 12 months ago

    If you could only pick one to have which one ??

    A) Watkins
    B) Saka

    1. Hurnt
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      Really close, both season keepers imo

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      Saka just

    3. Warby84
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      Saka

    4. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      Watkins

    5. Capocannonieri
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      Have Saka- I don't like the player. He's always complaining about treatment by defenders. Needs to play in France or another soft league. But he's the best Arsenal attacker by actual production.

      Woah, my whole midfield bar Salah rose. Too bad I had to miss Solanke in order to find out Haaland news.

      Cheers, Rainy! 4-2 today -- certainly better than yesterday when I missed the price change deadline. Weird day -- as it happens, I played Turner ahead of Johnstone so now Johnstone to Dubravka seems a likely move for tomorrow. --Bill

      Was going to get Colwill too for a hit but fell asleep, maybe the FPL gods are finally smiling on me 😀

      1-2 but Son and Alvarez will punish sellers

  14. Haaland rumours...
    AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    What's the Haaland rumour about?

    I've got Salah as VC.

    1. rainy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      Started with a couple ITKs who have since deleted their posts...

    2. RedLightning
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years

      LiveFPL is behaving as if Man City had already played their match and Haaland didn't play in it.

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 12 months ago

        yeah

        there's enough people confirming he's not in the squad...

        we'll see as ever

      2. Casual Player
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 12 months ago

        Just a strange thing to do by livefpl

        Not sure a site like that is making the right call getting into a forecast space

        Like as it stands, if I hypothetically owned and started Kabore or KdB who are 100% out, I don’t get the autosub yet. But if I own Haaland who is “reported” out, we’re making adjustments based on strong rumours.

        1. NotReadyForPrimeTime
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          1 year, 12 months ago

          The assumption about Haaland by LiveFPL seems strange to me as well. When I saw him with a red score of 0, I couldn't figure out what was going on. --Bill

        2. Eze Really?
          • 11 Years

          What rumors?

          Everyone has been able to check their live rank yesterday. Hundreds of people are asking what their live rank will be if Haaland is out. There is only one easy way to answer that question. Thx for Ragabolly for doing that. There is no reason to be upset because of nothing for anyone. Site is free. Just stop looking at that red flag and do get a life 😉

    3. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years

      Evening Standard say unconfirmed injury to Haaland

      I accidentally VCd Palmer ... oops ... no idea how that happened

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 12 months ago

        it is a single source but enough think it's the case that he hasn't travelled with the squad for it to have veracity.

        there could be another 'family' reason but there are a few bugs going around again ... so it's less likely he's going to rock up tomorrow if all true.

      That's enough for me to believe it's more than a rumour...

      1. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 12 months ago

        If it's true, my season is over. I never imagined he'd miss out, so who did I make VC? Darwin 🙁

        1. Fitzy.
          • 14 Years
          1 year, 12 months ago

          Yeah, season over for sure. Those 11 points will be tough to make up with only 22 GWs left to go.

          1. AC/DC AFC
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            1 year, 12 months ago

            always set your VC like he could be Captain.

            that's the point after all.

            but it's not like a differential 13 points because of the new EO but I'm taking it gladly.

            have a good Sunday

              Not really bothered about differential or not, I'll bloody take it too 😆

              I've seen an Alvarez VC and my Cup opponent captained Salah, he must be a bit gutted now lol

                  he's got Haaland and Salah VC...

                  I deserve to lose tho as he's got Pope in goal with Pickford.

                  Martinez might yet save me.

                  It's sort of Alvarez v Foden now.

                    Good luck!

                    I can't remember ever having a decent Cup run so wouldn't be surprised if I still ended up losing 😆

                      cheers mate...

                      my first season back on FPL in 2011/12 I went way past Easter I remember.

                      All been downhill since!

      TKC07 suggests that "LiveFPL admin might have tried 'what if' scenario based on rumours and applied change to all..."

    Have Salah VC, still want Haaland to start as I feel he can match or even better Salah.

      Same, surely a good few capped Salah? I also got no bench

      if you have Alvarez tho it probably helps this week.

      no leaks except for the Liverpool defender which helps too.

    Who’s more essential:

    A) Trippier
    B) Watkins

    1. Casual Player

      I think B

      I feel like you can always partially cover a defender with other defenders from the same team

      Not sure you can do that with attackers

        That's coz clean sheets apply across the board. Goals and assists don't (maybe that's a good idea for next season).

    On 19 points but I'm going to get Martinez in for Caoimhin Kelleher and Salah VC plus Archer subbing in if Haaland doesn't feature.

    So that's another 25 points to turn me green I hope...

    Man City’s B737 just landed at Luton, do we have any lookout’s in the arrivals hall?
