    There were pressers for Brighton, Sheff Utd, C Palace + Forest today, I'll have a round-up later on (I'm technically off).

    Villa at the very least to come tomorrow, plus maybe a few more if we're very lucky. I'll hopefully have the times mid-morning tomorrow.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Summary till then:

      Palace: Ward out for a while, Hodgson unsure whether he'll risk Eze from the start, Ayew back from a ban, Lerma recovering quicker than expected
      Brighton: Veltman out for two months, Welbeck not ready to start
      Sheff Utd: Robinson back, a few recurring issues for unnamed players, Norrington-Davies + Brewster nearing returns but short of match fitness
      Forest: Not seen any team news, will watch fully later but I expect Nuno wouldn't have been asked anyway

        Thanks Neale. Appreciated, now get back to your holiday! 🙂

    2. My own Personal Jesus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Sadly will be too late for those having to make decisions on these players around today's 18:30 Draft waiver deadline.

  2. Emiliano Sala
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Do you think turner will start this gw?

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      New manager. Impossible to tell.

    2. GREEN JUMPERS
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      A risk he won't after our Greek owner fired our best manager since you-know-who after our Greek goalkeeper got dropped

  3. Dynamic Duos
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    A or B please?

    A) Gordon to Bailey -4
    B) start Gordon(Taylor 1st on bench)

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      B

    2. Royal5

    1. DavvaMC

      Neale said we might find out tomorrow.

    FPL Draft Question

    A. Gusto
    B. Aké (to monopolise on City defence alongside Gvardiol, Ruben, Stones)

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      I would take a punt on Gusto

      1. FPL Insanity
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        He's the dark horse in the coming 2 months I think. Nobody talking about him, which is just what I like. Watch this space

        1. Bonus magnet
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 11 months ago

          Now I’m going to start talking about him

        2. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          1 year, 11 months ago

          He got dropped and blamed so he'll get opportunities but is a little less likely to start than back then when he was straight in for James.

    2. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      A 4th City defenders for a blank.

    3. sulldaddy
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      A

      City dont keep CS

    4. Mengo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Definitely would avoid another City defender...their constant late goal leakage is so frustrating. Villa has a lot of decent options with a pretty nice run of fixtures. Gusto could be solid if he nails down that position while James is out (which seems to be always).

  6. TheGamer70981
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Hey peeps, who's best for 5th choice defender on wc in GW19?

    A. Gusto
    B. Beyer
    C. van Hecke

    All have their own advs and disadvs but what you guys think?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Gusto

      1. TheGamer70981
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        thanks mate

  7. Meechum
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Do we think Burn gets the start for Newcastle?

    1. CABAYE4
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Yes - only debate imo is whether it’s at LB or CB.

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Yes, height against Luton's set pieces

  8. C'mon the Fylde
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Why are people leaning towards Leno over Martinez?
    Aston Villa look solid..

    1. TheGamer70981
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      more save points + bonus points I think but both seem v good. villa looks to be better defence but fulham can get more saves

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        This plus cheaper and cheaper Villa defenders to cover Villa defence

        1. Bobby Digital
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 11 months ago

          Yeah better to cover Villa with Konsa or Carlos

      2. C'mon the Fylde
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Ah right! Thanks for that.

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Leno

  9. Ask Yourself
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Will there be a city presser tomorrow ahead of the club World Cup final on Friday night ?

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

      Halaand can't play, if that's what you're after

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        I’m after whether he is likely to play against Everton or not before I sell him

  10. Miguel Sanchez
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Play one:

    A) Gabriel (liv)
    B) Badiashile (wol)

    1. TheGamer70981
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      hard but probs don't risk it and go gabs

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

    Is Gordon -> Son worth a hit?
    Have Tsimikas first on bench.

    Or is Richarlison a better route with Jan in mind?

    1. TheGamer70981
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      tricky but depends if you don't mind booking in a transfer in a few weeks
      if you don't, then son could score a lot so maybe go for it
      if you do mind then maybe richi could be the way- feel he's less likely to score while son's here but better in long term.

      summary: depends on if you have any other transfers needed to be made in the near future and how risky you want to go

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

        The only transfer I know I'll want to do is getting Haaland back in - and it would be my Halaand money I'm using on Son anyway... so maybe it could be worth it for 3 good games of Son!

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

    Dubravka Turner
    Taylor Gabriel Pau Kabore Udogie
    Palmer Saka Diaby Son Salah
    Darwin Haaland Archer

    1 FT 0.9 ITB.

    A) Haaland > Watkins
    B) Darwin + Diaby > Watkins + Luiz / Adingra / Soucek for -4
    C) Haaland + Darwin > Watkins + Solanke for -4

    1. TheGamer70981
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      would say B and go watkins and luiz probs

      1. gellinmagellan

        Thanks!

  13. KeanosMagic
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    So confused what to do with Salah + Son dilemma incoming, I think maybe just hold FT with 5.9itb?

    Areola Dubravka
    Trippier Lascelles Saliba Gabriel Pinnock
    Salah Son Bowen Palmer Saka
    Solanke Watkins Archer

    1. TheGamer70981
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      yeah your team looks good for this week, might as well leave it and get 2 FT's for next gw

  14. AARON-1
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    I wish to bring in two midfielders for a -4
    Choice is between Bowen / Bailey / Richarlison
    Which two would you bring in, or would you avoid the hit and make the second move next week? I'm 6 behind my in my mini league and want to be aggressive to win a bet that I'd be top at Christmas! Big question is do we think a hit will pay off?
    A bowen / bailey
    B richarlison / bailey
    C bowen / richarlison
    D only one avoid the -4

    Thoughts greatly appreciated

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      A

      Which 2 go out ... Gordon + ?

    2. TheGamer70981
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      i'd say either richarlison + bailey or preferably just richarlison. 6 points isn't too much ground to make up and i reckon you could probably do it without a -4 by just bringing in richarlison.

      gl with it and i hope you win the wager!

      1. AARON-1
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Mbeumo and Eze on the chopping block although kind of tempted to keep Eze and play him against Brighton). I want to bench Darwin so I want to play 5 in midfield. If it is only one, my gut feeling is Richarlison but Bailey so good at home. His minutes worry me though.

  15. Qaiss

    PL announce Bournemouth - Luton will be replayed later in the season !

      1. AC/DC AFC

        • 10 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Cheers

        Points to blank and my arrow to turn green and I now win the Cup game too

        Unlucky for the other guy .

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years

      Now what with points?

      1. Qaiss
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Expect we’ll hear something about that tonight, my guess is they’re chalked off and autosubs come on

        1. Dynamic Duos
          • 12 Years
          1 year, 11 months ago

          He is my vc and no autosub, takes the absolute p*ss

    2. The Final Boss
      • 8 Years

      Let me see one more time my solanke points before it gets wiped off -(

    3. FFS ManU
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      At last! Thanks for posting that.

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        I guess this approach also justifies not updating the game.

        So a gentle bit of influence at Christmas time might have been applied between Comms teams.

        10m players can influence the Premier League at the margins.

  16. SouthCoastSaint
    • 14 Years

    Solanke points wipe incoming! This place is about to go off!!!

    1. brianutd-why always we? 20
      • 14 Years

      lol

    2. TheGamer70981

      oh god 😐

    3. FFS ManU
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Ha ha, yes. By some almost miracle, the 6 points that I will lose for Solanke are going to be replaced by 6 from Jonny Evans when I was expecting a negative following Liverpool scoring four or more goals.

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Lose Solanke but get Porro to compliment Tent.

        Lose Senesi too for Gross 1 pointer.

        A net increase of +1 but my cup opponent goes -2 with similar switches but losing Gordon for Haaland.

        Anyhow we now tie the cup game and my league rank turns green, I think depending on the overall effects.

        Marginal calls ... But

        Exciting stuff in an Alan Partridge kind of way.

        😉

    2. SouthCoastSaint
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Right decision if points get wiped given announcement but it’s tough for us solanke owners who brought him in for 3 good fixtures.

      Lucky enough to have Gabriel sub but others won’t be.

      1. Ivana Tinkle

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      It might be played in a blank game week if both teams get knocked out of the FA Cup in the 3rs or 4th round.

  18. Ivana Tinkle

    Looks like the Solanke points have now been removed for GW17. Can someone else check. I’ve just had a look

    1. SouthCoastSaint
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Yes they have, not deducted from total score but just a - where his points were

    1. Zenith UK
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Points 100% getting deleted. Auto subs later this evening.

      1. SouthCoastSaint

      1. Zenith UK

        No

    Solanke points have been wiped on FPL

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

      But, weirdly, my total points remain the same!

      1. Salarrivederci
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Not updated yet. And subs not on yet.

    2. Salarrivederci
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Makes sense.
      Very unlucky for the Solanke owners, new owners through hits and especially the brave (C)'ers!
      Bot sometimes you have some bad luck in this game.
      FPL made the right call here.

      1. FFS ManU
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        I agree. It's just a shame that it took the Premier League so long to make the decision and then announce it.

      2. SouthCoastSaint
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        I’ve seen a captainer getting palmer off the bench, net loss but he doesn’t deserve that type of jam for benching palmer!!!!!

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          1 year, 11 months ago

          There will be loads of idiosyncrasies including free hits with low points off the bench and I guess hits won't be refunded etc

          But it is only a game and it gave an edge.

          Or a double edge.

  21. Dynamic Duos
    • 12 Years

    Hate the f***ing game

    1. Zenith UK
      • 9 Years

      Same bro same, and I don't even have Solanke!

    2. Salarrivederci
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Had to be done.
      You were very unlucky, that a real life tragic accident made this impact. Weather could've done the same.
      You'll claw your wat back!

    3. Threat Level Midnight
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      It's an absolute joke. So now non owners can be rewarded and plan for a poential double gameweek later in the year. So its a double reward being owners lose his point this week. Makes absolutely zero sense at all whatsoever.

      1. Zenith UK
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Makes zero sense? You alright lad?
        Game was ABANDONDED. It doesn't exist in the record books.

        1. Threat Level Midnight
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 11 months ago

          You alright on here responding to every single post? Must've missed where you are a mod or an important figure.

          1. Zenith UK
            • 9 Years

            Cry some more, your tears taste sweet

      2. Salarrivederci
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Come on mate.
        Game was abandoned and not recognized by PL.
        Now FPL knows game will be replayed in full, and the two clubs have to face each other 2 times where the score counts in the table.

        Weather could've stopped the match. You were very unlucky - that's all. Nothing unfair here. Atleast you have Solanke already.

      3. Qaiss
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        I remember taking a -4 to bring in 2 Man City players and 5 minutes later after deadline, there was news their game had been called off. Had no autosubs

        It’s not the end of the world

      4. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Lol, of course it makes sense. You think they should give you points for an abandoned game, when there will be a replay? Cry more.

        1. Threat Level Midnight
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 11 months ago

          I think the replay points should be null and void for the reasons I said above. Current points should stand as they are. If you don't comprehend the logistics of the situation thats a you problem.

          Tough through a keyboard 😉

          1. Salarrivederci
            • 9 Years
            1 year, 11 months ago

            But then it would not be Fantasy Premier League..

            Then it would just be Fantasy

    4. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Have you never heard of a professional game being called due to weather? Happens in baseball all of the time. No stats get counted. What would be the logic of counting stats (and hence fantasy points) of a game that was called off, and is to be replayed. It's a weird blip of an event in footie, but the reverse outcomes, giving fantasy points for a game that has been "reset" would defy logic and reason.

        The situations are not comparable as when weather is involved it is not a CHOICE. This was a choice based on an unfortunate (but not fully unexpected) event, not a circumstance.

          Semantics. The game was "abandoned" [love British speak]. In either case, the official record says that game is to be reset. Cannot count partial stats if the game literally was wiped from the record books.

      I think that there are very few circumstances for which an abandoned game would not be fully replayed. The one that occurs to me is if the fans cause it to try prevent a result that will cause their team to be relegated.

      It was always going to be the outcome. Why it took the PL so long to announce it is what delayed FPL acting.

    If you had to choose between Bailey, Diaby or D. Luiz for the long term, who do you choose? Thanks.

      Luiz

    Jammy Kabore owners get auto subs instead of his 2 pointer.

      Only Palmer. Had wildcarded so I had good squad depth for the next few matches. Couldn’t decide on whether to bench Palmer or Gordon. First bit of luck this season.
